Lukas 21:20

Listen to Lukas 21:20
20 Wenn ihr aber Jerusalem von Heerscharen umzingelt sehet, alsdann erkennet, daß ihre Verwüstung nahe gekommen ist.

Lukas 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.

Lukas 21:20 In-Context

18 Und nicht ein Haar von eurem Haupte wird verloren gehen.
19 Gewinnet eure Seelen durch euer Ausharren.
20 Wenn ihr aber Jerusalem von Heerscharen umzingelt sehet, alsdann erkennet, daß ihre Verwüstung nahe gekommen ist.
21 Daß alsdann, die in Judäa sind, auf die Berge fliehen, und die in ihrer Mitte sind, daraus entweichen, und die auf dem Lande sind, nicht in sie hineingehen.
22 Denn dies sind Tage der Rache, daß alles erfüllt werde, was geschrieben steht.
