LUKE 21:20-24 JESUS SPEAKS OF THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM
VERSE 20....AND WHEN YE SHALL SEE JERUSALEM COMPASSED WITH ARMIES, THEN KNOW THAT THE DESOLATION THEREOF IS NIGH. When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that soon she will be destroyed. VERSES 21-22...THEN LET THEM WHICH ARE IN JUDAEA FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS; AND LET THEM WHICH ARE IN THE MIDST OF IT DEPART OUT; AND LET NOT THEM THAT ARE IN THE COUNTRIES ENTER THERE INTO. FOR THIS BE THE DAYS OF VENGEANCE, THAT ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN MAY BE FULFILLED. The Christians who are in Judea must run away to the hill; those who are in the city must leave, and those who are out in the country must not go into the city. For these are the days of punishment for the sinners; to make come true all that the Scriptures say. VERSES 23-24....BUT WOE UNTO THEM THAT ARE WITH CHILD, AND TO THEM THAT GIVE SUCK, IN THOSE DAYS. FOR THERE SHALL BE GREAT DISTRESS IN THE LAND, AND WRATH UPON THIS PEOPLE. AND THEY SHALL FALL BY THE EDGE OF THE SWORD, AND SHALL BE LED AWAY CAPTIVE INTO ALL NATIONS; AND JERUSALEM SHALL BE TRODDEN DOWN OF THE GENTILES, UNTIL THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES BE FULFILLED. How terrible it will be in those days for women who are pregnant, and for mothers with little babies. Terrible distress will come upon this land, and God’s wrath will be against this people. They will be killed by the sword, and taken as prisoners to all countries, and the heathen will trample over Jerusalem until their time is up
