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.
Because those days are going to bring trouble like nothing the world has ever seen since God first created everything, and nothing like it will ever happen again.
When hard times come, remember they're temporary, even the worst days have an ending.
