Several hundred years before Jesus, the prophet Daniel also spoke of it, and he described it as “a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time. ” ​ — Matthew 24: 21; Daniel 12: 1.
Sajandeid enne Jeesust rääkis ka prohvet Taaniel sellest ja ta kirjeldas seda kui „kitsast aega, millist ei ole olnud rahvaste algusest peale kuni selle ajani ”. — Matteuse 24: 21; Taaniel 12: 1.
