The Destruction of Jerusalem

When Jerusalem is surrounded by armies, the disciples are told to flee from the city and the land. Jesus calls those days days of vengeance and great distress, with the sword, captivity, and Jerusalem trampled by the Gentiles until their times are fulfilled.

B²⁰ut when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that her desolation is near. ²¹Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country stay out of the city. ²²For these are the days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written. ²³How miserable those days will be for pregnant and nursing mothers! For there will be great distress upon the land and wrath against this people. ²⁴They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
