* 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."
