Mk 13:8a ... "For nation shall be raised upon nation, ..."

Verse 8 has five phrases and 18 dialog words. The 1st phrase has these 5 dialog words, ... egerthēsetai gar ethnos ep ethnos ("Will be raised for nation against nation, ...").

The 5 dialog words are top down. In the story, Jesus is predicting the nation of Rome will be raised up against the nation of the Jews when they rebelled against Rome in 66 AD. It took Rome 5 years to win the Roman Jewish war of 66-70 AD. The 5 words match the 5 years. The word "ethnos" (nation) appears twice in this phrase. The first word "nation" is tangent to the top three triangles signifying the Roman nation. The second word "nation" is tangent to the bottom three triangles, signifying the Jewish nation.
