• Matthew 24:15-22
  "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.
   
• Lamentations 2:1-9
  How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion
  With a cloud in His anger!
  He cast down from heaven to the earth
  The beauty of Israel,
  And did not remember His footstool
  In the day of His anger.
  The Lord has swallowed up and has not pitied
  All the dwelling places of Jacob.
  He has thrown down in His wrath
  The strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
  He has brought them down to the ground;
  He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
  He has cut off in fierce anger
  Every horn of Israel;
  He has drawn back His right hand
  From before the enemy.
  He has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
  Devouring all around.
  Standing like an enemy, He has bent His bow;
  With His right hand, like an adversary,
  He has slain all who were pleasing to His eye;
  On the tent of the daughter of Zion,
  He has poured out His fury like fire.
  The Lord was like an enemy.
  He has swallowed up Israel,
  He has swallowed up all her palaces;
  He has destroyed her strongholds,
  And has increased mourning and lamentation
  In the daughter of Judah.
  He has done violence to His tabernacle,
  As if it werea garden;
  He has destroyed His place of assembly;
  The LORD has caused
  The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.
  In His burning indignation He has spurned the king and the priest.
  The Lord has spurned His altar,
  He has abandoned His sanctuary;
  He has given up the walls of her palaces
  Into the hand of the enemy.
  They have made a noise in the house of the LORD
  As on the day of a set feast.
  The LORD has purposed to destroy
  The wall of the daughter of Zion.
  He has stretched out a line;
  He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying;
  Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament;
  They languished together.
  Her gates have sunk into the ground;
  He has destroyed and broken her bars.
  Her king and her princes are among the nations;
  The Law is no more,
  And her prophets find no vision from the LORD.
  
   
• Zechariah 14:2-3
  For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
  The city shall be taken,
  The houses rifled,
  And the women ravished.
  Half of the city shall go into captivity,
  But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
  Then the LORD will go forth
  And fight against those nations,
  As He fights in the day of battle.
  
   
• Luke 21:20-21
  "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her.
   
• Deuteronomy 28:63
  And it shall be, that just as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good and multiply you, so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you and bring you to nothing; and you shall be plucked from off the land which you go to possess.
