Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Time-Bound Fulfillment

The verse describes a past event with a specified duration, not a prophecy given with a defined duration that is expected to be recognized when fulfilled. The "ten years" is a historical record of a period of judgment, not a predictive statement.
