In the biblical context, "tribulation" often signifies a time of testing or judgment. Historically, this can be linked to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, a catastrophic event for the Jewish people. Theologically, it is also seen as a foreshadowing of the end times, a period of great turmoil before the return of Christ. This aligns with the apocalyptic literature found in Daniel and Revelation, where tribulation precedes divine intervention.unseen from the beginning of God’s creation This emphasizes the unprecedented nature of the tribulation. It suggests a level of suffering and chaos that surpasses any previous event in history. The reference to "God's creation" underscores the divine order established from the beginning, as seen in Genesis. This phrase highlights the severity of the tribulation, suggesting it is a pivotal moment in God's redemptive plan, echoing the catastrophic events described in the flood narrative of Genesis.until now This indicates that the tribulation is unparalleled up to the present moment in history. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing nature of human suffering and the anticipation of future fulfillment of prophecy. The phrase connects the past with the present, suggesting continuity in God's sovereign plan. It also reflects the historical context of the early Christian community, which faced persecution and hardship, reinforcing their hope in Christ's ultimate victory.and never to be seen again This assures that the tribulation is a unique event, never to be repeated. It provides hope and comfort, indicating a definitive end to suffering and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom. This echoes the prophetic visions in Isaiah and Revelation, where a new heaven and earth are promised.

These expressions are very remarkable. To begin with, the tribulation would be so unexampled and so severe that the days themselves would be called "tribulation." They would be known ever after as "the tribulation.'" There never had been anything like them, and there never would be again. Neither the Deluge, nor the destruction of the cities of the plain, nor the drowning of Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, nor the slaughter of the Canaanites, nor the destruction of Nineveh, or of Babylon, or of other great cities and nations, would be so violent and dreadful as the overthrow of Jerusalem by Titus. All this is confirmed by Josephus, who says, speaking of this overthrow, "I do not think that any state ever suffered such things, or any nation within the memory of man." St. Chrysostom assigns the cause of all this to the base and cruel treatment of the Son of God by the Jews. The destruction of their city and their temple, and their continued desolation afterwards, were the lessons by which the Jews were to be taught that the Christ had indeed come, and that this was the Christ whom they had crucified and slain. <a href="/commentaries/mark/13-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>For γὰρ (gar) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1063.htm">Strong's 1063: </a> For.
