Lucas 21:20

Listen to Lucas 21:20
20 Pero cuando veáis a Jerusalén rodeada de ejércitos, sabed entonces que su desolación está cerca.

Lucas 21:20 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:20

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies
The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions read, "with an army"; that is, with the Roman army, as it was by the army which Titus Vespasian brought against it, and besieged it with:

then know that the desolation thereof is nigh;
signifying, that there would be no deliverance to be expected, as when the Assyrian army under Rabshakeh appeared against it; but that whenever the Roman army besieged it, its destruction might be looked upon as inevitable; nor was the siege raised until it was destroyed, which was about four years after.

Lucas 21:20 In-Context

18 Sin embargo, ni un cabello de vuestra cabeza perecerá.
19 Con vuestra perseverancia ganaréis vuestras almas.
20 Pero cuando veáis a Jerusalén rodeada de ejércitos, sabed entonces que su desolación está cerca.
21 Entonces los que estén en Judea, huyan a los montes, y los que estén en medio de la ciudad, aléjense; y los que estén en los campos, no entren en ella;
22 porque estos son días de venganza, para que se cumplan todas las cosas que están escritas.
