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 Luke 23:28-31
daughters.So 1:5; 2:7; 3:5,10; 5:8,16; 8:4 the days.Our Lord here refers to the destruction of Jerusalem, and the final desolation of the Jewish state; an evil associated with so many miseries, that sterility, which had otherwise been considered an opprobrium, was accounted a circumstance most felicitous. No history can furnish us with a parallel to the calamities and miseries of the Jews; rapine and murder, famine and pestilence, within; fire and sword, and all the terrors of war, without. Our Saviour himself wept at the foresight of these calamities; and it is almost impossible for persons of any humanity to read the relation of them in Josephus without weeping also. He might justly affirm, "if the misfortunes of all, from the beginning of the world, were compared with those of the Jews, they would appear much inferior in the comparison." 21:23,24; Mt 24:19; Mr 13:17-19Blessed.De 28:53-57; Ho 9:12-16; 13:16 Isa 2:19; Ho 10:8; Re 6:16; 9:6 Pr 11:31; Jer 25:29; Eze 15:2-7; 20:47,48; 21:3,4; Da 9:26; Mt 3:12Joh 15:6; Heb 6:8; 1Pe 4:17,18; Jude 1:12
