the days4 parallels

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."
