Per Jeremiah 30, why, in "the time of Jacob's distress" (Jeremiah 30:7) will Jacob be "saved from it" and only be "chastened Justly" (Jeremiah 30:11), whereas "all the nations (Gentiles) where I have scattered you", "I will completely destroy"?

A lot of people are quoted in the bible saying a lot of silly things. And you'll probably get more traction on this thread if you ask a mod to punt it to Christianity.

Christianity and Islam have already destroyed/covered-up/and supplemented(agreed with but replaced in their won image) traditional European and Arab and Persian beliefs-systems.

The only "Gentile" nations that were not self-destroyed in this minor and largely insignificant way were the fully Eastern ones. Africa has been and is currently under invasion and usurption from Abraham's Christianity and Islam.

You like Jeremiah, don't you, OP?



It is a well noticeable trend in the world to end with one faith and one people.

The nations will try to make war on the returned Christ...

They will see it as a threat to their power and control.

How about I use Zechariah 14:16, whereas the survivors of the nations, "any who are left of all the nations" will be forced to "worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths" every year, in Jerusalem?


How about Daniel 2:44-45, whereas all the "kingdoms" listed will be "crushed"?


Or how about Joel 3:1-2, whereas "all the nations" will be brought to the "valley of judgment", or in other words, Har-Magedon (Revelation 16:13-19), whereas all the "cities of the nations" will fall?


How, why, where, and what is the reason for the destruction of the nations?

I think you have it reversed. Per Zechariah 14:1-3, the nations will be gathered against Jerusalem, capture it, and then the LORD goes to war.

No, they will make war on G-d’s people, the Israelites...

Huh? Seriously? You have never heard of The New World Order to come? With no nations and religions left? With antichrist to be worshiped and set as the king of the world?
