2 Samuel 24:16
24:16 When the angel
extended his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the
Lord relented from his judgment.
He told the angel who was killing the people, “That’s enough! Stop now!”
(Now the
Lord’s angel was near the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.)
Jeremiah 7:12
7:12 So, go to the place in Shiloh where I allowed myself to be worshiped
in the early days. See what I did to it
because of the wicked things my people Israel did.
Jeremiah 26:9
26:9 How dare you claim the
Lord’s authority to prophesy such things! How dare you claim his authority to prophesy that this temple will become like Shiloh and that this city will become an uninhabited ruin!”
Then all the people crowded around Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 26:18
26:18 “Micah from Moresheth
prophesied during the time Hezekiah was king of Judah.
He told all the people of Judah,
‘The Lord who rules over all says,
“Zion will become a plowed field.
Jerusalem will become a pile of rubble.
The temple mount will become a mere wooded ridge.”’
Matthew 23:37-38
Judgment on Israel
23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would have none of it!
23:38 Look, your house is left to you desolate!
