Numbers 24:23
Who shall live when God doeth this! - There are two senses in which these words may be taken: -
1.That the event is so distant that none then alive could possibly live to see it.
2.That the times would be so distressing and desolating that scarcely any should be able to escape.
The words are very similar to those of our Lord, and probably are to be taken in the same sense: "Wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days."
