MARK 13:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
Because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now — and never to be equaled again — the superlative description of the coming distress (unequaled from creation, never to be equaled again) draws on Daniel 12:1. The scale of the coming destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE — over a million killed according to Josephus, the temple destroyed, the city leveled — fulfills the superlative in the specific context of the Jewish nation and its holy city.
