An Arab Woman Blues. Reflections in a sealed bottle...
Syngué Sabour - Stone of Patience.My comment on Urknet.
In the passage below (verse 40) note that Jesus says the stones will cry out.
Also see this, this is Jesus Christ speaking, does it seem a little harsh? Bring my enemies (who would not help the oppressed, by the way) and kill them. He said kill them.
His followers praised him. The Pharisees sought to kill him. There is a glut of Pharisees in America. It has long ceased to be “America the Beautiful.” It is America the Titanic, waiting for the iceberg.
See this from below: Lk:19:42 “If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace: but now they are hidden from thy eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee: and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and straiten thee on every side,
44 And beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone:”
It happened. St. Isadore of Seville gives us a good synopsis. I am going to post that on my site. It was the bloodiest thing you can imagine. It was payback from Almighty God Himself, for the crimes of the Jews. As Jesus said, elsewhere, “these are the days of vengeance.” By the way, the Christians no longer considered themselves as belonging to the Jewish Nation (hint, hint) and when they saw the approaching doom, they remembered the prophecies of Jesus and fled Jerusalem and went to Pella and were spared (this is NOT Petra in the Nabataean kingdom. It is Pella, East of Jerusalem across the river Jordan. Pella, Jordan in the hills that rise from the Jordan Valley 78 km north of Amman. Pella, known in Arabic as Tabaqat Fahl.) Not a hair on the head of the Christians was harmed. Jerusalem was a different story utterly and absolutely and entirely. Jerusalem then - And today it is the two major Zionist entities: the United States of America and Yisrael. The destruction will be absolute.
Jesus Christ.
Lk:19:
27 But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither and kill them before me.
35 And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.
37 And when he was now coming near the descent of Mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen,
38 Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory on high!
39 And some of the Pharisees, from amongst the multitude, said to him: Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 To whom he said: I say to you that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
41 ¶ And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
42 If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace: but now they are hidden from thy eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee: and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and straiten thee on every side,
44 And beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee. And they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
45 And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein and them that bought.
46 Saying to them: It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves.
47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy him.
48 And they found not what to do to him: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
Now see St. Isadore of Seville on the Destruction of Jerusalem.
THE WORLD CHRONICLE OF ISIDORE OF SEVILLE
71. Vespasian ruled for ten years. Vigorous in military discipline, through his fighting he restored to the republic many provinces which Nero had lost. He was unmindful of offenses and he bore lightly the insults said against him. In his second year Titus took and overthrew Jerusalem, where 1,100,000 Jews perished by famine and the sword. Beyond these, another 100,000 were publicly sold into slavery.

The Christians heeded Our Lord Jesus Christ's warning in 70 A.D. and fled from Jerusalem to Pella and were not harmed.
Generation in the text in the Greek can mean a human generation or any length of time.
The emphasis in the Gospel of St. Luke is on 70 A.D.
The emphasis in the Gospel of St. Matthew is on the future.

Generation in the text in the Greek can mean a human generation or any length of time. The emphasis in the Gospel of St. Luke is on 70 A.D.
Lk:21. 1-38
And looking on, he saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treasury.
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in two brass mites.
And he said: Verily, I say to you that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all.
For all these have of their abundance cast into the offerings of God: but she of her want hath cast in all the living that she had.
And some saying of the temple that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said:
These things which you see, the days will come in which there shall not be left a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.
And they asked him, saying: Master, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when they shall begin to come to pass?
Who said: Take heed you be not seduced: for many will come in my name, saying: I am he and the time is at hand. Go ye not therefore after them.
And when you shall hear of wars and seditions, be not terrified. These things must first come to pass: but the end is not yet presently.
Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
And there shall be great earthquakes in divers places and pestilences and famines and terrors from heaven: and there shall be great signs.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name's sake.
And it shall happen unto you for a testimony.
Lay it up therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to resist and gainsay.
And you shall be betrayed by your parents and brethren and kinsmen and friends: and some of you they will put to death.
And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake.
But a hair of your head shall not perish.
In your patience you shall possess your souls.
And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army, then know that the desolation thereof is at hand. [This is Our Lord Jesus Christ’s Prophecy of the Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. by Titus.]
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains: and those who are in the midst thereof depart out: and those who are in the countries not enter into it. [The Christians heeded and were not destroyed.]
For these are the days of vengeance, that all things may be fulfilled, that are written.
But woe to them that are with child and give suck in those days: for there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away captives into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles till the times of the nations be fulfilled.
And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, by reason of the confusion of the roaring of the sea, and of the waves:
Men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For the powers of heaven shall be moved.
And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.
But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand.
And he spoke to them a similitude. See the fig tree and all the trees:
When they now shoot forth their fruit, you know that summer is nigh;
So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.
Amen, I say to you, this generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and the cares of this life: and that day come upon you suddenly.
For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come and to stand before the Son of man.
And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple: but at night going out, he abode in the mount that is called Olivet.
And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.

The emphasis in the Gospel of St. Matthew is on the future.
Mt:24. 1-51
And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple.
And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed.
And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the consummation of the world?
And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you.
For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ. And they will seduce many.
And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass: but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And there shall be pestilences and famines and earthquakes in places.
Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake.
And then shall many be scandalized and shall betray one another and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise and shall seduce many.
And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold.
But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations: and then shall the consummation come.
When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand. [This is Our Lord Jesus Christ's Prophecy to be apart from the Antichrist sitting in the temple of God when Our Lord Jesus Christ returns from heaven with his elect angels.]
Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains:
And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house:
And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat.
And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those days.
But pray that your flight be not in the winter or on the sabbath.
For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be.
And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.
Then if any man shall say to you, Lo here is Christ, or there: do not believe him.
For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.
Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.
If therefore they shall say to you, Behold he is in the desert: go ye not out. Behold he is in the closets: believe it not.
For as lightning cometh out of the east and appeareth even into the west: so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together.
And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of heaven shall be moved.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven. And then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty.
And he shall send his angels with a trumpet and a great voice: and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them.
And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof is now tender and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh.
So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors.
Amen I say to you that this generation shall not pass till all these things be done.
Heaven and earth shall pass: but my words shall not pass.
But of that day and hour no one knoweth: no, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.
And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For, as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark:
And they knew not till the flood came and took them all away: so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
Then two shall be in the field. One shall be taken and one shall be left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill. One shall be taken and one shall be left.
Watch ye therefore, because you know not what hour your Lord will come.
But this know ye, that, if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
Wherefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come.
Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season?
Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing.
Amen I say to you: he shall place him over all his goods.
But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming:
And shall begin to strike his fellow servants and shall eat and drink with drunkards:
The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not and at an hour that he knoweth not:
And shall separate him and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
