Deuteronomy 28:49-58
bring a nation.Though the Chaldeans are frequently described under the figure of an eagle, yet these verses especially predict the desolations brought on the Jews by the Romans; who came from a country far more distant than Chaldea; whose conquests were as rapid as the eagle's flight, and whose standard bore this very figure; who spake a language to which the Jews were then entire strangers, being wholly unlike the Hebrew, of which the Chaldee was merely a dialect; whose appearance and victories were terrible; and whose yoke was a yoke of iron; and the havoc which they made tremendous.

"Women snatched the food out of the very mouths of their husbands, and sons of their fathers, and (what is most miserable) mothers of their infants." "In every house, if there appeared any semblance of food, a battle ensued, and the dearest friends and relations fought with one another; snatching away the miserable provisions of life." "A woman distinguished by birth and wealth, after she had been plundered by the tyrants (or soldiers) of all her possessions, boiling her own sucking child, ate half of him, and concealing the other half, reserved it for another time!" 13:6; 2Sa 12:3; Mic 7:5his children.Ps 103:13; Isa 49:15; Mt 7:9-11; Lu 11:11-13 in the seige.Jer 5:10; 34:2; 52:6 and delicate.Isa 3:16; La 4:3-6her eye shall be evil.54 young one.

And we learn from Eusebius, and Epiphanius, that at this juncture, all who believed in Christ left Jerusalem, and removed to Pella, and other places beyond Jordan; and so escaped the general shipwreck of their country, that we do not read of one who perished in Jerusalem. 17:31-33; Ge 19:17,26; Ex 9:20,21; Pr 22:3; Mt 24:16; Mr 13:15and let them.Nu 16:26; Jer 6:1; 35:11; 37:12; Re 18:4 the days.Isa 34:8; 61:2; Jer 51:6; Ro 2:5; 2Pe 2:9; 3:7all.Le 26:14-33; De 28:15-68; 29:19-28; 32:34,43; Ps 69:22-28; 149:7-9Isa 65:12-16; Da 9:26,27; Zec 11:1-3; 14:1,2; Mal 4:1; Mr 13:19,20 woe.23:29; De 28:56,57; La 4:10; Heb 9:12-17; 13:16; Mt 24:19; Mr 13:17great.19:27,43; Mt 21:41,44; 1Th 2:16; Heb 10:26-31; Jas 5:1; 1Pe 4:17 led.De 28:64-68Jerusalem.Isa 5:5; 63:18; La 1:15; Re 11:2until.Isa 66:12,19; Da 9:27; 12:7; Mal 1:11; Ro 11:25
