  • Isa 8:12-14 : 12 "Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not be terrified. 13 The Lord of Hosts—he is the one you are to regard as holy. He is the one you are to fear; he is the one you are to dread. 14 He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.

  • Ezek 14:17-21 : 17 Or if I bring a sword against that land and say, 'Let a sword pass through the land,' and I cut off from it both man and beast, 18 even if these three men were there, as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, they could not save sons or daughters. They alone would be saved. 19 Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out my wrath upon it in bloodshed, cutting off from it both man and beast, 20 even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, they could not save son or daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness. 21 For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: How much worse will it be when I send my four dreadful judgments—sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague—against Jerusalem, to cut off both man and beast from it!
  • Ezek 21:9-9 : 9 Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will go out from its sheath against all flesh, from the south to the north. 10 All humanity will know that I, the LORD, have drawn My sword from its sheath, and it will not return again. 11 And you, son of man, groan with the breaking of your heart and with bitterness. Sigh in their sight. 12 And when they ask you, 'Why are you groaning?' you are to say, 'Because of the news that is coming; every heart will melt, every hand will go weak, every spirit will grow faint, and every knee will turn to water. Behold, it is coming, and it will happen,' declares the Sovereign LORD. 13 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 14 Son of man, prophesy and say, 'This is what the Lord GOD says: A sword! A sword, sharpened and also polished— 15 sharpened to slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! Should we rejoice in the scepter of My son, which despises every tree?'

It will be rebuilt with streets and a moat, but in difficult times. 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.
  • Dan 11:1-9 : 1 And in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to strengthen and protect him. 2 Now I will tell you the truth: Behold, three more kings will arise in Persia, and the fourth will be far richer than all of them. By his wealth, he will gather strength and stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece. 3 Then a mighty king will arise, and he will rule with great authority and do as he pleases. 4 But as soon as he has risen, his kingdom will be broken apart and divided toward the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants and will not have the same authority he ruled with, for his kingdom will be uprooted and given to others. 5 Then the king of the South will grow strong, but one of his officials will become even stronger than him and will rule with great power over his own dominion. 6 After some years, they will form an alliance. The daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to make an agreement, but she will not retain her power, and neither will the king nor his power endure. She, her escort, her child, and the one who supported her will all be surrendered during those times. 7 Out of her family line, someone will arise to take her place. He will attack the forces and enter the stronghold of the king of the North. He will fight against them and prevail. 8 He will also carry off their gods, their metal images, and their precious articles of silver and gold into Egypt. For some years, he will refrain from attacking the king of the North. 9 Then the king of the North will invade the realm of the king of the South but will return to his own land. 10 His sons will prepare for war and assemble a great army. They will sweep through, overflow, and pass on to launch attacks and stir up conflicts as far as the enemy's fortress. 11 Then the king of the South will be enraged and will march out to fight against the king of the North. The king of the North will raise a large army, but it will be handed over to the king of the South. 12 When the army is captured, the king's heart will become proud. Though he will overthrow tens of thousands, he will not remain strong. 13 The king of the North will return and raise a greater army than before. After several years, he will come again with a large army and much equipment. 14 During those times, many will rise up against the king of the South. Violent men among your own people will rise up to fulfill the vision, but they will fall. 15 So the king of the North will come and build siege ramps and capture a fortified city. The forces of the South will not stand; even their best troops will have no strength to resist. 16 The invader will do as he pleases, and no one will be able to withstand him. He will establish himself in the Glorious Land, and it will be completely under his control. 17 He will set his face to come with the power of his whole kingdom, making agreements, and will give a daughter of women in marriage to destroy it. But his plan will not succeed or help him. 18 Then he will turn his attention to the coastlands and will capture many. However, a commander will put an end to his arrogance and will repay him for his scorn. 19 Afterward, he will turn back toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and not be found again. 20 In his place, one will arise who will send out a tax collector to maintain the royal splendor. In a short time, he will be destroyed, though not by anger or in battle. 21 Another will arise in his place, a contemptible man who has not been given royal honor. He will seize the kingdom through intrigue and deceit. 22 Then the armed forces shall be swept away before him and broken, including the prince of the covenant. 23 After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully. He will rise to power with only a few people. 24 Entering peacefully into the richest parts of the province, he will do what neither his ancestors nor their ancestors ever did: he will distribute plunder, loot, and wealth among his followers. He will devise plans against strongholds but only for a time. 25 He will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South with a large army. The king of the South will prepare for battle with a great and mighty army, but he will not stand, for plots will be devised against him. 26 Those who eat from his provisions will destroy him; his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain. 27 Both kings, with their hearts set on evil, will sit at the same table and lie to each other, but their plans will not succeed, for the end will still come at the appointed time. 28 The king of the North will return to his land with great wealth, but his heart will be set against the holy covenant. He will take action and then return to his own land. 29 At the appointed time, he will invade the South again, but this time it will not be as it was before. 30 Ships from the western coastlands will oppose him, and he will lose heart. Then he will turn back and vent his anger against the holy covenant. He will return and show favor to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 Forces from him will rise up and desecrate the sanctuary fortress. They will abolish the daily sacrifice and set up the abomination of desolation. 32 Those who act wickedly against the covenant will be corrupted by flattery, but the people who know their God will stand firm and take action. 33 Those who are wise among the people will instruct many, yet they will fall by the sword, flame, captivity, and plunder for some time. 34 When they stumble, they will receive some help, but many who join them will do so with hypocrisy. 35 Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made white until the time of the end, for it is still to come at the appointed time. 36 The king will do as he pleases; he will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will speak astonishing words against the God of gods. He will prosper until the indignation is completed, for what has been decreed will be accomplished. 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors, the desire of women, or any other god, for he will magnify himself above them all. 38 Instead, he will honor the god of fortresses in his place; a god unknown to his ancestors. He will honor it with gold, silver, precious stones, and costly gifts. 39 He will deal with strongholds using a foreign god. He will honor those who acknowledge him, giving them authority over many people and distributing land for a price. 40 At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships. He will invade countries, sweeping through them like a flood. 41 He will also enter the Glorious Land, and many will fall, but Edom, Moab, and the leaders of Ammon will escape from his hand. 42 He will extend his power over many lands, and the land of Egypt will not escape. 43 He will gain control over the hidden treasures of gold and silver and all the precious things of Egypt. The Libyans and Cushites will follow in his steps. 44 But reports from the east and the north will trouble him, and he will set out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at the beautiful holy mountain. Yet, he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
  • Hab 3:16-18 : 16 I heard, and my heart pounded; my lips quivered at the sound. Decay crept into my bones, and I trembled where I stood. Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come upon the nation invading us. 17 Though the fig tree does not blossom and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

The earth will disclose the blood shed on it; it will conceal its slain no longer.
  • Jer 4:19-22 : 19 My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain! My heart pounds within me; I cannot remain silent, for I have heard the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 20 Disaster upon disaster is announced, for the whole land is devastated. Suddenly, my tents are ruined, my curtains in a moment. 21 How long must I see the banner and hear the sound of the trumpet? 22 For my people are foolish; they do not know me. They are senseless children and have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil, but they do not know how to do good.
  • Jer 6:22-24 : 22 This is what the Lord says: 'Look, a people is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is being stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth. 23 They grasp bow and spear; they are cruel and show no mercy. Their sound roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, arrayed as men for battle against you, Daughter Zion.' 24 We have heard the report about them, and our hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped us, pain like that of a woman in labor.
  • Jer 8:15-16 : 15 We hoped for peace, but no good has come.

They come and devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there.
