Luk 23:30. Τότε, then) then in particular (or at last), more than now.-ἄρξονται, they shall begin) viz. “the barren” shall begin, in answer to those by whom they Mere called ‘blessed.’ The same language shall be used afterwards also, Rev 6:10 [At the opening of the sixth seal, the kings, etc., said to the mountains, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne,” etc.].-λέγειν τοῖς ὃρεσι, πέσετε ἐ, ἡμᾶς· καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς, καλύψατε ἡμᾶς) So Hos 10:8, LXX., καὶ ἐροῦσι τοῖς ὄρεσι, καλύψατε ἡμᾶς· καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς, πέσετε ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς.-ὃρεσι, to the mountains) Often men have been covered [buried] beneath mountains. It is a great addition to the terror, when that which is horrible in itself is wished for by way of a shelter. See Rev 6:16.
