44
This woman whom you saw is Zion, whom you now see built as a city.
45
As for what she said to you, that she was infertile for thirty years, it is because there were three thousand years in the world when offerings weren't yet made in her.
46
After three thousand years, Solomon built the city and made offerings. That is when the infertile woman bore a son.
47
As for what she said to you, that she nourished him with labor, this was the time that Jerusalem was inhabited.
48
And as for what she said to you, that her son came into his wedding chamber and died and that misfortune happened to her, this is the destruction that happened to Jerusalem.
49
Indeed, you saw her likeness, how she mourns her son, and you began to console her over these things that had happened. (These things were to be shown to you.)
50
Now the Most High, seeing that you are sincerely saddened and that you suffer for her with all your heart, has shown you the splendor of her glory and the beauty with which she is adorned.
51
For this reason I told you to remain in the field where no house is built:
52
I knew that the Most High was about to show you these things.
53
Therefore, I told you to come into the field where there is no building's foundation,
54
for no work of human construction could survive in the place where the city of the Most High was about to be made manifest.
