E-so-ntai gar hai hê-ME-rai e-KEI-nai THLI-psis HOI-a ou GE-go-nen toi-AU-tê ap ar-KHÊS KTI-se-ōs hên EK-ti-sen ho the-OS HE-ōs tou NYN kai ou mê GE-nê-tai
Exegesis
The temporal marker heos tou nyn {ἕως τοῦ νῦν | héōs tou nyn} ‘until now’ completes the backward-looking time span, while the closing clause kai ou me genetai {καὶ οὐ μὴ γένηται | kaí ou mē génētai} employs the strong ou mē + subjunctive construction to deny any future recurrence: ‘and it will certainly not happen’. In English, the clauses are slightly rearranged into a more natural subject–verb–complement order, while preserving the escalating structure: unparalleled tribulation, unmatched from creation’s beginning until the present, and guaranteed never to be repeated.
Root and etymology
ktizokappa–tau–iota–zeta–omega
“to create, to found”
In context — Mark 13:19
For those days will be a tribulation such as has not occurred from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will be.
