24 Jerusalem Not Spared

God summarized the judgments that are simultaneously coming on Jerusalem. He says, “Surely it will be so now!” Any one of these aspects of the judgment would be able to destroy the land by itself. In fact because of these it will be all the more impossible to deliver the land from them. The righteous men of Jerusalem could not do it because they were forbidden to commune with the people. Even if the three most righteous men in the Bible were there they could not avert God’s judgment. But the grace of God in this carrying out of His divine justified judgment would not completely annihilate the Jews in Jerusalem.
