And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
He followed through on every warning he gave us and our leaders, brought the exact disaster he said he would. Honestly, what happened to Jerusalem was unlike anything that's ever gone down anywhere else on earth.
When God says something will happen, it's not a bluff, it's a promise.
