But when you see
Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that
her desolation is at hand. Then let those who are in
the midst of the city depart, and let not those who are
in the country enter the cityÉ there will be great
distress upon the land, and wrath to this people, and
they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led
captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be
trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the
Gentiles be fulfilled. (Luke 21:20-24)
