Luke 21:20-24

International Standard Version

Signs of the End^(A)

²⁰ “So when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then understand that its devastation is approaching. ²¹ Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, those inside the city must leave it, and those in the countryside must not go into it, ²² because these are the days of vengeance when all that is written will be fulfilled.

²³ “How terrible it will be for those women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days!—because there will be great distress in the land^[a] and wrath against this people. ²⁴ They will fall by the edge of the sword and be carried off as captives among all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled on by unbelievers^[b] until the times of the unbelievers^[c] are fulfilled.”
