Exegesis
The pairing of polemous {πολέμους | po-lé-mous} ‘wars’ with the phrase akoas polemon {ἀκοὰς πολέμων | a-ko-às po-lé-mōn} ‘reports of wars’ creates a balanced structure that encompasses both actual armed conflicts and the circulation of information or rumor about them.
In context — Mark 13:7
But whenever you hear of wars and reports of wars, do not be alarmed ; it is necessary for these things to take place, but the end is not yet.
