Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 aAnd when he drew near and saw the city, bhe wept over it, 42saying, c“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now dthey are hidden from your eyes. 43For ethe days will come upon you, when your enemies fwill set up a barricade around you and gsurround you and hem you in on every side 44 hand tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And ithey will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know jthe time of your kvisitation.”Luke 20:16-18
16 lHe will mcome and destroy those tenants and ngive the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!” 17But he olooked directly at them and said, “What then is this that is written:p“‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone’? ▼
▼Greek the head of the corner
18 rEveryone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls son anyone, it will crush him.”
Luke 21:20-24
Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem
20“But twhen you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that uits desolation has come near. 21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, 22for these are vdays of wvengeance, to fulfill xall that is written. 23 yAlas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and zwrath against this people. 24They will fall by the edge of the sword and aabe led captive among all nations, and abJerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, acuntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.Luke 23:28-30
28But turning to them Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29For behold, adthe days are coming when they will say, ae‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ 30 afThen they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’1 Thessalonians 2:15-16
15 agwho killed both the Lord Jesus and ahthe prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and aioppose all mankind 16 ajby hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always akto fill up the measure of their sins. But alwrath has come upon them at last! ▼▼Or completely, or forever
Revelation of John 8:7-12
7The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed anhail and aofire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a apthird of the earth was burned up, and a third of aqthe trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.8The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like ara great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea asbecame blood. 9A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of atthe ships were destroyed.
10The third angel blew his trumpet, and aua great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on avthe springs of water. 11The name of the star is Wormwood. ▼
▼ Wormwood is the name of a plant and of the bitter-tasting extract derived from it
A third of the waters axbecame wormwood, and many people died from the water, aybecause it had been made bitter. 12The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of azthe sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.
