Luke 21:23-26 It will be too bad for pregnant women and those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in this land i.e., Judea, and especially Jerusalem, and raging anger will be shown against these people i.e., by the Roman armies.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ It will be too bad for pregnant women and those who are nursing [babies] in those days! For there will be great distress in this land [i.e., Judea, and especially Jerusalem], and raging anger [will be shown] against these people [i.e., by the Roman armies]. ²⁴ And people will die by the sword and be led captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled on by the [unconverted] Gentiles [i.e., by the Romans and later by others] until the times of [domination by] the Gentiles are fulfilled. ²⁵ “Then [Note: This event answers to the “immediately” of Matt. 24:29, and suggests the next major event on God’s calendar] there will be [supernatural] signs [evident] in the sun and moon and stars. And on earth [there will be] distress among nations; they will be perplexed by the roaring of the ocean’s churning waves. [Note: Probably this is figurative language for highly agitated conditions on earth]. ²⁶ Men will become despondent from fear, and from dreading the [terrible] things which will come upon the earth, for the forces of the heavens will be shaken.
