19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now-and never to be equaled again.
19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
19 For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be.
19 "These are going to be hard days - nothing like it from the time God made the world right up to the present. And there'll be nothing like it again.
19 For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.
19 For there will be greater anguish in those days than at any time since God created the world. And it will never be so great again.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 13:19
Commentary on Mark 13:14-23
(Read Mark 13:14-23)
The Jews in rebelling against the Romans, and in persecuting the Christians, hastened their own ruin apace. Here we have a prediction of that ruin which came upon them within less than forty years after this. Such destruction and desolation, that the like cannot be found in any history. Promises of power to persevere, and cautions against falling away, well agree with each other. But the more we consider these things, the more we shall see abundant cause to flee without delay for refuge to Christ, and to renounce every earthly object, for the salvation of our souls.
