Mark 13:19 echoes Ezekiel?

Post by blackheart » Sat Oct 23, 2010 12:57 pm

I was listening to Steve's new studies on Mark, when he came to

Mar 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

he mentioned that the last thought/phrase was very similar to a phrase in Ezekiel. My independent study has not found this, and I would appreciate guidance if possible.

I think the reference may have been to the similar usage of hyperbole, as in Ezekiel 5, (though not sure if this is the correct or only one, my notes didn't have a verse reference) -

[speaking to Jerusalem]:

Ezekiel 5:8 "therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Indeed I, even I, [am] against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations. 9 ‘And I will do among you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations. (NKJV)

Suzana is right (of course). That is the reference to which I was alluding.
