Thus Luke 21:24 literal, “And they will fall by edge of sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by Gentiles, until times of Gentiles are complete.” Also Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:2; Psalm 79:1; Isaiah 63:3; Isaiah 63:18; Daniel 8:13; Zechariah 12:3. Jerusalem is the winepress from which wine will come forth, “And the messenger cast forth his pruning-hook to the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast them into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed out of the winepress, as high as the bridles of the horses, to the distance of one thousand six hundred stadia.” Rev. 14:20 literal |
