13:19 greater anguish in those days than at any time since God created the world: Such hyperbole is common in Semitic expression; it heightens the terror of that horrible time and should not be taken as an exact statistical analysis of how this suffering ranks alongside other disasters. • And it will never be so great again: The events of 13:14-23 would not bring history to an end; history would continue after the destruction of the Temple in AD 70.
