Mat 24:19. Οὐαὶ, woe!) This is not put by way of imprecation, but of indication. Neither is it an interdiction against the generating of children, but only a prediction of misery.-ταῖς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσαις, κ.τ.λ., to them that are with child, etc.) Because they will not be able to flee quickly. Godly women will share the common calamity; see Luk 23:29.
