Matthew 24:21 Meaning – Great Tribulation

God’s judgments upon despisers of the gospel and rejecters of mercy offered in Christ are most severe. Therefore the destruction of Jerusalem was of all calamities that ever came upon a people most lamentable, for as the common history reports, a million people perished in the siege in a most fearful manner of destruction, the body of the land being gathered together in it at the solemnity of the Passover, and about four score and seventeen thousand were made slaves; such tribulation as was not since the beginning of the world.
