The
Gog-Magog war comes after that, then the judgement and New Jerusalem.........
Armageddon was Jerusalem 70ad..........
"Armageddon was Jerusalem 70ad."
In the common vernacular, hogwash! God did not call the nations of the world to participate in 70 AD. But He WILL in our future.
All the prophecies by Jesus in the Olivet Disourse were future to 1st century Jerusalem and Jews.
Why is that so hard for "futurists" to see that?
Note Ezekiel 22 and the melting of the Jews in a furnace in 70ad, which essentially became a "gehenna/lake of fire".
Is the "GEHENNA" of Matt 23:33 the "LAKE OF FIRE" in Revelation? Poll thread
Ezekiel 22:
17 And there is a word of Yahweh unto me, saying, ‘Son of adam! 18 T
he House of Israel hath been to Me for dross, All of them [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace — dross hath silver been,
19 Therefore, thus said Adonay Yahweh: Because of your all becoming dross, Therefore, behold!
I am gathering you unto the midst of Jerusalem,
20 A gathering of silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin,
Unto the midst of a furnace — to blow on it fire, to melt it,
So do I gather in Mine anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted you.
21 And I have heaped you up, And
blown on you in the fire of My wrath, And ye have been melted<5413> in its midst.
22 As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace,
So are you melted in its midst, And ye have known that I, Yahweh, I have poured out My fury<2534> upon you.’
I wondered how God would gather the Jews into Jerusalem for that until I read about the day/time that Titus sieged Jerusalem, the day of the Passover!!!!
Matthew 23:33
'Serpents! brood of vipers!
how may ye escape from the judgment of the gehenna?
Mat 24:20
16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
20 “And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
The Destruction of Jerusalem - George Peter Holford, 1805AD
The day on which Titus encompassed Jerusalem, was the feast of the Passover ; and it is deserving of the very particular attention of the reader, that this was the anniversary of that memorable period in which the Jews crucified their Messiah ! At this season multitudes came up from all the surrounding country, and from distant parts, to keep the festival.... Luke xxi. 21......................
Nevertheless, the city was at this time crowded with Jewish strangers, and foreigners from all parts, so that the whole nation may be considered as having been shut up in one prison,
preparatory to the execution of the Divine vengeance ; and, according to Josephus this event took place
suddenly ; thus, not only fulfilling the predictions of our LORD, that these calamities should come, like the swift-darting lightning".....................
Revelation 18:
9 “When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see
the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her.
10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry:
“ ‘Woe! Woe to you, great city,
you mighty city of Babylon!
In one hour your doom has come!’
18 When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, ‘Was there ever a city like this great city?’
19They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out:
