That was Adam Clarke's words, Sean. You said ALL YOU EVER HEAR FROM US IS JOSEPHUS. ALL. Do you know what ALL means?

Jesus said Jerusalem was the city that had the guilt of the blood of prophets and all slain on the earth in her. You won't even accept Jesus' words?

Matthew 23:35 KJV That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

Revelation 18:24 KJV And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

Scripturally (Jesus) speaking, it cannot be Rome or any other city for precisely the verses Mike Blume presented. Rome in no way was or can be construde to be guilty of all the righteous blood all the way back to Able.

Jerusalem was where Able was killed?(or is this certain city we are discussing assigned blame for his death just because God said?)






Well, Rome killed John the baptist,numerous pre gospel figures, thousands of Jewish children, Jesus, James, most of the Apostles, including Paul. Thousands after Paul. The dark ages FULL of massacres by Rome to come...(so in reading Rev., end time believers could clearly see history)


It even propped itself up as the center of FALSE CHRISTIANITY to counterfeit the true faith in front of the whole world for 1800 years...now that is a recipe for judgement bro!!!

I may not have all the answers, but I do have these scriptures that positively gives the answer.

According to the words of Jesus here, who is the guilty?

Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Mat 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Mat 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Mat 23:37 O JERUSALEM JERUSALEM, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

This "certain city" will be uninhabitable through the Millennium for the duration, its smoke will continuously rise for 1000 years. It will be a memorial for the nations to see of the slaughtered millions of souls throughout the time of before Christ to the end of the dark ages. These resurrected saints will see a reminder of the Lords' vengeance of their prayers...Revelation 6:10

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

This burning city during the millennial will stand as a MEMORIAL to the martyred saints in history.

[Sean]

Jerusalem will be the center of activity during the Millennium....
