There was a five year
tribulation from 66-70 AD.
Historical accounts confirm that it was unprecedented before, and unsurpassed since. (Matthew 24:21)
According to Josephus, during the famine created by the siege in 70ad, it got so bad, that they took up a lament concerning those that death had hurried away.
Matthew 3:7
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them,
“
Brood of vipers! Who warned you
to flee from the being about wrath/ ὀργῆς<3709> to come?
Luke 3:7
Then he said to the
multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, “
Brood of vipers! Who warned ye to flee from
the being about wrath/ὀργῆς<3709> to come?
Luke 21:
22 That
days of vengeance these are, of the to be fulfilled all the having been written, .
23 “But woe to
those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
For there will be
Great Distress in the land and Wrath/ὀργὴ <3709>
upon this people.
Luke 23:
28 and Jesus having turned unto them, said, ‘
Daughters of Jerusalem! weep not for Me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children 29 for behold!
days do come, in which they shall say, '
Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck; 30 then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us;' — 31 for, if in the green tree they do these things — in the dry, what may happen?’
This appears to denote the distress of famine?
Revelation 6:6
And I hear a voice in midst of the four living-ones saying: "choinex of grain/wheat a denarius and three choinex of barleys a denarius, and the oil and the wine no you should be injuring"
Can anyone say "holocaust"...........
The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
The day on which Titus encompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover
Meanwhile
the horrors of famine grew still more melancholy and afflictive.
The Jews, for of food were at length compelled to eat their belts, their sandals, the skins of their shields, dried grass, and even the ordure of oxen. In the depth or this horrible extremity, a Jewess of noble family urged by the intolerable
cravings of hunger,
slew her infant child, and prepared it for a meal ; and had actually eaten one half thereof, when the soldiers, allured by tile smell of food, threatened her with instant death if she refused to discover it. 'Intimidated by this menace, she immediately produced the remains of her son, which petrified them with horror.
At the recital of this melancholy and affecting occurrence, the whole city stood aghast,
and poured forth their congratulations on those whom death had hurried away from such heartrending scenes........
Revelation 9:
5 and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment [is] as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;
6 and in those days the men shall be seeking the death, and and not no they shall be finding it,
and they shall be desiring to be dying, and the death is fleeing from them.

Jeremiah 15:2
“And it shall be, if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?' then you shall tell them, ‘Thus says the LORD:
“Such as are for death, to death;
And such as are for the sword, to the sword;
And such as are for the famine, to the famine;
And such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.” '
Luke 21:24
And they shall be falling to mouth of sword and they shall be being led captive into all the nations.
And Jerusalem shall be being trodden by nations until which may be being filled times of nations.
[Deuteronomy 28:68/Revelation 11:2 13:10]
Revelation 13:10
If any to-captivity into captivity is going away.
If any in sword to be killed, is binding him in sword to be killed.
Here is the endurance and the faith of the Saints
