Statement 1. Jura is the fifth strongest member of the ten wizard saints. Only the 4 gods of Ishgal are stronger than him Statement 2. Makarov is a member of the ten wizard saints. We know he is not one of the 4 gods as well based on the outlines we were shown.

Based on those two statements, Jura is indeed stronger than Makarov. Makarov was stronger 7 years ago, but his power remained the same for 7 years while Jura's continued to rise. Do I need to draw you a diagram of how this is possible?
