Luke 21:20 Douay-Rheims

And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army; then know that the desolation thereof is at hand.

Eusebius of Caesarea

c. A.D. 260–339 Patristic

By the desolation of Jerusalem, He means that it was never again to be set up, or its legal rites to be reestablished, so that no one should expect, after the coming siege and desolation, any restoration to take place, as there was in the time of the Persian king, Antiochus the Great, and Pompey.
