# that its desolation is near
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
The word "desolation," which describes a place that is empty, is a metonym for Jerusalem after it has been destroyed and the Jews can no longer live there. Alternate translation: "that it will soon be destroyed" or "that they will soon destroy it" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
