Mk 13:19a ... "For ~ will be in those the days tribulation, ..."

Verse 19 has four phrases and 24 dialog words. The 1st phrase has these 6 words, ... esontai gar ai hēmerai ekeinai thlipsis, ... (will be for the days in those tribulation, ...)

The 6 dialog words are top down. The 2 words "ai hēmerai" are tangent to the pair of triangles holding the circles labeled "days." This phrase is a commentary about the siege of Jerusalem. The word thlipsis means "a pressing together, a constriction, oppression, a pressure" but is usually translated in most bibles as "tribulation." During the war, the Romans completely blockaded Jerusalem and totally constricted all movement in or out of the city. The diagram shows the two pregnant and nursing women of the previous diagram pressed to the bottom of the graph "in those the days."
