πŸ’₯ The destruction of Jerusalem: Many times we read of this.

Comments by Joan Boney:
 
Many times Jerusalem is destroyed in history but at the end of this world it will happen again.  Jerusalem will be destroyed a last time.
 
***
 
In April, 2024, Iran fired missiles on 3 cities in Israel.  One of those cities was Jerusalem.  God reminded me of this scripture:
 
Luke 21:20-22  Jesus said:  
 
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
 
(Currently it is reported by Israel that 7 armies surround Israel.)

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
 
 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
 
Mt. 24  Jesus said: 
 
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
 
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

I don't believe we've seen "the power of heavens shaken" yet ...
 
A woman in our church group was given a dream showing this.  Her report.  (Barbara Preston) She and her husband were going out to buy a new TV.  She was ready and was waiting at the car for her husband, who was not ready.
All of a sudden the sun turned dark!  She knew what it was but was terrified.  She started to run back into her house but she knew that would do no good so she just fell down on her knees.
 
I believe this is what is coming in the days ahead.
  
* Jerusalem will be destroyed. 
* God will bring the 14 plagues of the Great Tribulation. (Rev. 8,9,16)
* Then the powers of heaven will be shaken.  The earth will move in the solar system as Isaiah reported:  Isaiah 13:10-13  God says:  For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
 
(Also Joel reports the powers of heaven being shaken:  
 
Joel 1:1  The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
 
 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.

6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.

8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.

10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.

12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.

13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.

14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,

15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

 
* Jesus will come through the clouds and all will see HIM.
* Jesus sends HIS angels to gather HIS elect to remove the elect from this earth.
* Then God destroys this present heaven and earth with fire.  2 Peter 3:10-14

11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

13 Therefore
I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. 
 
Joel 2
 
1  Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
 
 10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

15
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

And the apostle Peter tells us what we should do:

2 Peter 3:10-14

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

I report to you that which God called to my attention in April when Iran fired  missiles on 3 cities of Israel.
 
I believe this was the beginning of those "days of vengeance" where all things written in the Bible will be fulfilled.
 
The evil has grown so much on this earth ... antichrist has moved into so many churches also and doctrines of Christ have been changed to other doctrines.
 
The old people so often say, "Things are so watered down at our church." 

I expect destruction to continue until Jerusalem is destroyed in the days ahead.

And all things written in the Bible are fulfilled before our eyes, unfolding one by one until those who read the Bible have no doubt where we are living in the Bible prophecies.

Comments by Pam Padgett ...  CNN reported   "Since the Trump administration abandoned the nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018*, to put curbs on its nuclear program, the Islamic Republic has been gradually ramping up enrichment of uranium, a key ingredient of a nuclear bomb if purified to a high level. "
 
*(According to wikipedia, the  "Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action" (also known as the "Iran nuclear deal") was agreed to by the United States, China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, Germany in 2015.  It provided that Iran's nuclear activities would be limited in exchange for reduced sanctions, and that every 90 days the President of the United States would certify, among other things, that Iran was adhering to the terms of the agreement.  
 
On October 13, 2017, then US President Donald Trump announced that the United States would not make the certification.  Then on May 8, 2018, President Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the agreement. )
