the desolating of her has drawn near

Luke 21:20 “Furthermore, when you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near."

22 "because these are days for meting out justice, that all the things written may be fulfilled."

 "and wrath on this people"




Harlot Jerusalem desolation has drawn near


Ezequiel 16:15 “‘But you began to trust in your prettiness and become a prostitute on account of your name and to pour out your acts of prostitution on every passerby;+ his it came to be. 16 And you proceeded to take some of your garments and make for yourself high places+ of varied colors and you would prostitute yourself on them—such things are not coming in, and it should not happen. 17 And you would take your beautiful articles from my gold and from my silver that I had given to you+ and you would make for yourself images of a male+ and prostitute yourself with them.*+ 18 And you would take your embroidered garments and cover them; and my oil and my incense+ you would actually put before them. 19 And my bread that I had given to you—fine flour and oil and honey that I had had you eat+—you also actually put it before them as a restful* odor,+ and it continued to occur,’ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.”
20 “‘And you would take your sons and your daughters whom you had borne to me,+ and you would sacrifice these to them to be devoured+—is that not enough of your acts of prostitution? 21 And you would slaughter my sons,*+ and by making them pass through [the fire] you would give these to them.+ 22 And in all your detestable things and your acts of prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth when you happened to be naked and nude; kicking about in your blood you happened to be.+ 23 So it came about after all your badness (“woe, woe to you,”+ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah) 24 that you went building for yourself a mound* and making for yourself a height in every public square.+ 25 At every head of the way you built your height+ and you began to make your prettiness something detestable+ and sprawl out your feet to every passerby+ and multiply your acts of prostitution.+ 26 And you went prostituting yourself to the sons of Egypt,+ your neighbors great of flesh,*+ and you continued making your prostitution abound in order to offend me. 27 And, look! I shall certainly stretch out my hand against you+ and I shall diminish your allowance+ and give you to the soul[ful desire]+ of the women hating you,+ the daughters of the Phi·lis′tines,+ the women humiliated on account of your way as regards loose conduct.+
