They didn't have nukes back in the 1st century
I believe these passages are concerning 70ad Jerusalem [if they are still yet future, then I suppose the Jews will have to go thru another "70ad holocaust"]
Isa 31:9
He shall cross over to his stronghold for fear, And his princes shall be afraid of the banner,”
Says the LORD,
Whose fire
is in Zion,
And whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
This passage in Ezekiel 22 is interesting.
Here Yahweh says He is going to
gather the Jews into the "furnace" of Jerusalem
EZEKIEL 22 "GATHER HOUSE OF ISRAEL INTO JERUSALEM TO MELT IN FURNACE/GEHENNA"
Ezekiel 22:
1 And there is a word of Yahweh unto me, saying,
2 ‘And thou, son of adam! dost thou judge? dost thou judge the
City of blood? then thou hast caused it to know all its abominations,
17 And there is a word of Yahweh unto me, saying, ‘Son of adam!
18 The 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<5678>,
And ye have been melted<5413> in its midst.
22 As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So are ye melted in its midst, And ye have known that I, Yahweh, I have poured out My
fury<2534> upon you.’
Revelation 15:1
And I sign another sign in the heaven, great and marvelous. Seven Messengers having seven stripes/blows, the last,
that in them
is finished the fury<2372> of the GOD..............
=====================
I believe one way to gather the Jews into Jerusalem would be during the feast of the Passover, which just happened to be when Titus sieged Jerusalem in 70ad:
Matthew 24:20
“And pray that
your flight may not be in winter or on the
Sabbath.
Matthew 23:
33 "
Serpents! produce of vipers!
how? ye may be fleeing from the judging of
the geennhV <1067>
37 O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!............

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. How suitable and how kind, then, was the prophetic admonition of our LORD, and how clearly he into futurity when he said "Let not them that are in the countries enter into Jerusalem." 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" that cometh out of the east and shineth even unto the West," and " as a
snare on all of them (the Jews) who dwelt upon the face of the whole earth " (Matt. xxiv. 27, and Luke xxi 35,) but justifying, also, his friendly direction, that those who fled from the place should use the utmost possible expedition
Is the "GEHENNA" of Matt 23:33 the "LAKE OF FIRE" in Revelation? Poll thread
Gehenna and Lake of Fire the same?
