As a result of the rejection of the Messiah by the Jews, Jerusalem is trodden down during the present age by the Gentiles. This will continue until “the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” (Lk. 21:24; Dan. 2:37 45).

They will go through “the time of Jacob's trouble”, the great tribulation. (Ezek. 22: 17-22; Zech. 14:2).

It will be a time of trouble such as never before. (Jer. 30:6-7; Deut. 12:1; Mt. 24:15-22). This will last 42 months. (Rev. 11:2; 13:5; Dan. 7:25; 9:27; 12:7).

The glory of the Lord which departed from Israel (Ezek. 11:22-23) will then return. (Ezek. 43:4-5).

Jerusalem will become the beloved city (Rev. 20:9), the joy of the whole earth. (Ezek. 43:7; Joel 3:16, 17,20,21; Zeph. 3:15-17), the city of the Great King (Psa. 2:6; 48:2); the world's metropolis (Isa. 62:6-7; Mic. 4:8; Zech. 8:23).
