SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:27
Y entonces enviar sus ngeles, y juntar sus escogidos de los cuatro vientos, desde el cabo de la tierra hasta el cabo del cielo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. And then he shall send his angels , etc..] The ministers of the Gospel to preach it, and plant more churches among the Gentiles, since that at Jerusalem was entirely broken up: and shall gather together his elect ; that is, he the son of man, or Christ, shall gather them by the ministry of his servants; or they shall gather them, as the Ethiopic version reads; and as Beza says it is read in a certain copy: these ministers shall be the means of gathering such whom God has chosen from all eternity, to obtain salvation by Christ, out of the world, and unto Christ, and into a Gospel church state: even from the uttermost part of the earth, to the uttermost part of the heaven ; be they where they will, on earth, and under the whole heavens; (see Gill on Matthew 24:31).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-27 - The disciples had confounded the destruction of Jerusalem and the en of the world. This mistake Christ set right, and showed that the day of Christ's coming, and the day of judgment, shall be after tha tribulation. Here he foretells the final dissolution of the presen frame and fabric of the world. Also, the visible appearance of the Lor Jesus coming in the clouds, and the gathering together of all the elec to him.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
27. From the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven (ap akrou ghv ewv akrou ouranou). From the outermost border of the earth, conceived as a flat surface, to where the outermost border of the heaven sets a limit to the earth. Compare Matt. xxiv. 31. Mark's expression is more poetical.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
13:27 {Shall gather together his elect} (episunaxei tous eklektous autou). this is the purpose of God through the ages. {From the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven} (ap' akrou ges hews akrou ouranou). The Greek is very brief, "from the tip of earth to the tip of heaven." this precise phrase occurs nowhere else.
