For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Because what's coming will be the worst time of suffering the world has ever seen, nothing in history will compare to it, and nothing ever will again.
The hardest time in human history is still ahead of us.
