Jesus is foretelling the destruction of Jerusalem, which historically occurred in AD 70 when the Romans besieged the city. This prophecy highlights Jesus' role as a prophet, similar to Old Testament prophets who warned of impending judgment due to disobedience.when your enemies will barricade you The term "barricade" refers to the Roman military tactic of building siege works or embankments around a city to cut off supplies and force surrender. This was a common practice in ancient warfare, and the Romans were known for their engineering skills in constructing such fortifications. The use of this term underscores the severity of the impending siege.and surround you The phrase "surround you" emphasizes the total encirclement of Jerusalem by Roman forces. Historically, the Roman general Titus led the siege, and his legions completely surrounded the city, leaving no escape for its inhabitants. This tactic was intended to isolate the city and break the will of its defenders.and hem you in on every side "Hem you in on every side" conveys the idea of being trapped with no possibility of escape. This reflects the historical reality of the siege, where the inhabitants of Jerusalem were confined within the city walls, leading to severe famine and suffering. Theologically, this phrase can also be seen as a metaphor for the consequences of rejecting God's messengers and the spiritual entrapment that results from turning away from divine truth.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The speaker of this prophecy, Jesus is addressing the people of Jerusalem, foretelling the city's impending destruction due to their rejection of Him as the Messiah. 2. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The city that is the focal point of Jesus' prophecy.

In the latter case, of course, a trench was implied, but the word meant the embankment rather than the excavation.
