Commentators agree that "the time of Jacob's trouble" describes a period of distress so severe that "none is like it." John Calvin explains this was meant to shake the people from their complacency, as they believed Jerusalem was indestructible. The prophecy points to a catastrophe of immense emotional and physical suffering, whether viewed as the Babylonian exile or a future tribulation.
