Exegesis
The content clause introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hóti} explains what must be recognized: engiken {ἤγγικεν | ḗngiken}, a perfect form, presents desolation as already having entered the sphere of imminence.
In context — Luke 21:20
But when you see Jerusalem encircled by armies, then discern that her desolation has drawn near.
