destruction of israel

²⁴And they will fall by the edge of the sword. And they will be led away as captives into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles, until the times of the nations are fulfilled.

¹And I saw an Angel, descending from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the abyss and a great chain. ²And he apprehended the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and he bound him for a thousand years. ³And he cast him into the abyss, and he closed and sealed it, so that he would no longer seduce the nations, until the thousand years are completed. And after these things, he must be released for a brief time. ⁴And I saw thrones. And they sat upon them. And judgment was given to them. And the souls of those beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the Word of God, and who did not adore the beast, nor his image, nor accept his character on their foreheads or on their hands: they lived and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. ⁵The rest of the dead did not live, until the thousand years are completed. This is the First Resurrection. ⁶Blessed and holy is he who takes part in the First Resurrection. Over these the second death has no power. But they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him for a thousand years.

²⁶And in this way, all of Israel may be saved, just as it was written: “From Zion shall arrive he who delivers, and he shall turn impiety away from Jacob.

¹“But as for you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am above you, O Gog, prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal. ²And I will turn you around, and I will lead you away, and I will cause you to rise up from the parts of the north. And I will bring you over the mountains of Israel. ³And I will strike your bow in your left hand, and I will cast away your arrows from your right hand. ⁴You will fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your companies, and your peoples who are with you. I have given you over to the wild animals, to the birds, and to every flying thing, and to the beasts of the earth, in order to be devoured. ⁵You will fall upon the face of the field. For I have spoken, says the Lord God. ⁶And I will send a fire upon Magog, and upon those who are living confidently in the islands. And they shall know that I am the Lord.

⁴¹And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying: ⁴²“If only you had known, indeed even in this your day, which things are for your peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you in on every side. ⁴⁴And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

²⁷But he will confirm a covenant with many for one week of years; and for half of the week of years, victim and sacrifice will nearly cease; but there will be in the temple the abomination of desolation. And the desolation will continue even to the consummation and the end.”

³I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

¹And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ²“Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy about him. ³And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal. ⁴And I will turn you around, and I will place a bit in your jaws. And I will lead you away, with all your army, the horses and the horsemen all clothed in armor, a great multitude, equipped with spears and light shields and swords, ⁵the Persians, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans with them, all with heavy shields and helmets, ⁶Gomer, and all his companies, the house of Togarmah, the northern parts, and all his strength, and the many peoples with you.

²⁵For I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery (lest you seem wise only to yourselves) that a certain blindness has occurred in Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has arrived.

¹And Jesus departed from the temple and went away. And his disciples approached him, so as to show him the buildings of the temple. ²But he said to them in response: “Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not remain here stone upon stone, which is not torn down.” ³Then, when he was seated at the Mount of Olives, the disciples drew near to him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your advent and of the consummation of the age?” ⁴And answering, Jesus said to them: “Pay attention, lest someone lead you astray. ⁵For many will come in my name saying, ‘I am the Christ.’ And they will lead many astray. ⁶For you will hear of battles and rumors of battles. Take care not to be disturbed. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.

¹“In that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.” ²Thus says the Lord: “The people who had remained after the sword, found grace in the desert. Israel will go to his rest.” ³The Lord appeared to me from a distance: “And I have loved you in perpetual charity. Therefore, showing pity, I have drawn you. ⁴And I will build you up again. And you shall be built up, O virgin of Israel. Still shall you be adorned with your timbrels, and still shall you go forth to the singing of those who play. ⁵Still shall you plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and they will not gather the vintage until the time arrives. ⁶For there will be a day on which the guardians on mount Ephraim will cry out: ‘Arise! And let us ascend on Zion to the Lord our God!’ ”

¹³So then, go out and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the just, but sinners.”

⁷Woe! For that day is great, and there is nothing like it. For it is the time of tribulation for Jacob, but he will be saved from it.
