Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created to this time… At the siege of Jerusalem, Milman says, "Every kind feeling, love, respect, natural affection, were extinct through the all-absorbing want. Wives would snatch the last morsel from husbands, children from parents, mothers from children...If a house was closed, they supposed that eating was going on, and they burst in and squeezed the crumbs from the mouths and throats of those who were swallowing them. Old men were scourged till they surrendered the food to which their hands clung desperately. Children were seized as they hung upon the miserable morsels they had got, whirled round and dashed upon the pavement...The most loathsome and disgusting food was sold at an enormous price. They gnawed their belts and shoes. Chopped hay and shoots of trees sold at high prices." Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
