Lucas 21:20

20 Y cuando viereis á Jerusalem cercada de ejércitos, sabed entonces que su destrucción ha llegado.

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 Mas un pelo de vuestra cabeza no perecerá.

19 En vuestra paciencia poseeréis vuestras almas.

20 Y cuando viereis á Jerusalem cercada de ejércitos, sabed entonces que su destrucción ha llegado.

21 Entonces los que estuvieren en Judea, huyan á los montes; y los que en medio de ella, váyanse; 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.
