  • Hab 1:5 : 5 Look among the nations and observe—be utterly amazed! For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe even if you were told.
  • Rom 11:7-9 : 7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The chosen obtained it, but the rest were hardened. 8 As it is written: "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day." 9 And David says, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them." 10 "Let their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever." 11 Again I ask, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12 Now if their transgression means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will come from their full inclusion! 13 I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry. 14 In the hope that I may somehow provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.

  • Heb 10:28-30 : 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severe punishment do you think someone deserves who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, treated as unholy the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know Him who said, 'Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,' says the Lord. And again, 'The Lord will judge His people.'

  • Eph 3:3-8 : 3 that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I have briefly written about earlier. 4 By reading this, you are able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which in past generations was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. 6 This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 7 Of this gospel I became a servant, according to the gift of God’s grace that was given to me through the working of His power. 8 To me, the very least of all the saints, this grace was given: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
  • Col 1:26-27 : 26 the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
  • 1 Thess 2:16 : 16 They forbid us to speak to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way, they constantly fill up the measure of their sins. But the wrath of God has come upon them fully.
  • Prov 1:24-32 : 24 Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand, but no one paid attention, 25 And you ignored all my advice and would have none of my correction, 26 I too will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you, 27 When your terror comes like a storm, and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you. 28 Then they will call to me, but I will not answer; they will seek me earnestly, but they will not find me. 29 Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, 30 They would have none of my counsel and despised all my correction. 31 Therefore they will eat the fruit of their own way and be filled with their own schemes. 32 For the turning away of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
  • Prov 5:12 : 12 You will say, 'How I hated discipline, and my heart despised correction!'
  • Isa 5:24 : 24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble and as dry grass sinks in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust. For they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
  • Isa 28:14-22 : 14 Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem. 15 Because you have said, 'We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have made an agreement. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, it will not reach us, for we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.' 16 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: 'Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. The one who believes will not panic.' 17 I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place. 18 Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled by it. 19 As often as it passes through, it will seize you. Morning after morning, day and night, it will pass through. The understanding of this message will bring only terror. 20 The bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in. 21 For the LORD will rise up as He did at Mount Perazim; He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon to do His work, His strange work, and perform His task, His alien task. 22 Now do not mock, or your chains will be even heavier, for I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts a decree of destruction against the whole land.
  • Isa 65:15 : 15 You will leave behind your name as a curse for my chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will put you to death; but to his servants, he will give another name.
  • Dan 9:26-27 : 26 After the sixty-two weeks, the Anointed One will be cut off and have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood, and desolation has been decreed until the end of the war. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week, he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, until the decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.
  • Matt 8:10-11 : 10 When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those following Him, 'Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.' 11 I tell you, many will come from the east and the west and will recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
  • Matt 21:41-44 : 41 They said to him, 'He will bring those wretches to a miserable end and lease the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit at the proper times.' 42 Jesus said to them, 'Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This came from the Lord and is wonderful in our eyes? 43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruit. 44 Whoever falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it falls, it will crush him to powder.

How often I have wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate.
  • Luke 16:14 : 14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and sneered at him.
  • Luke 19:42-44 : 42 He said, 'If you had known on this day, even you, the things that would bring you peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.' 43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build a barricade against you, surround you, and hem you in on every side. 44 They will crush you and your children within you to the ground.

  • Luke 21:20-26 : 20 When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. 21 Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those inside the city must leave it, and those in the countryside must not enter it. 22 For these are days of vengeance, so that all that is written may be fulfilled. 23 Woe to those who are pregnant and nursing in those days! For there will be great distress on the earth and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken as captives to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. 25 There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth, distress among nations, confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves. 26 People will faint from fear and the expectation of what is coming upon the world, because the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
