Matthew 24:19 Meaning – Woe Unto Them That Are With Child

In the time of general calamities, God’s ordinary benefits make a man more miserable than if he lacked them; as children, riches, honour, when they must now be gone, and can give no more comfort to us, then are they the matter of our woe; for at such a time, says he, Woe unto them that are with child, &c. that is, they shall be so much the more miserable; for this Woe is pronounced by way of prophecy and not denounced by way of indignation against women with child, more than others.
