Jeremiah 1:15: For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdom of the north, saith the Lord; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah. 

The Lord God who will call all the families of the north to the gates of Jerusalem is to utter His judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken Him, burning incense and worshiping to other gods. (Jer 1:16) For Jerusalem shall be a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, who shall be sieged both against Judah and against Jerusalem. In that day Jerusalem shall be a burdensome stone for all people; all that burden themselves with “Jerusalem,” they themselves shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth, as they have gathered together against it. (Zec 12:2-3) For the Lord God shall then on that day, “destroy all the nations that come against it,” for the Lord God shall then pour upon the house of David, and upon the house of the inhabitant of Jerusalem, the “Spirit of grace and of supplication, sending His two witnesses, Moses and Elijah. For they shall then all know that their forefathers on whom they had pierced, for they shall then mourn for Him. As one mourned for his only son and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. (Zec 12:9-10/Mat 17:3/Rev 11:3/Joh 19:34,37)

The kingdom of the north, which was scattered, having its language confounded, is from the time of Noah and his sons. (Gen 10:2,6,21/11:7-9) Lord God the Father had said in His heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from their youth, neither will I again smite any more every living, as I have done.” Lord God then established His covenant: no flesh shall be cut off by the waters of the flood, nor shall the flood destroy the earth. (Gen 8:20-21,9:11) God the Father then revealed unto Jeremiah, and our Lord Jesus, who revealed unto us that a calamity shall break forth upon “All the inhabitants of the land, as in the days of Noah and Lot. It shall be with floods, earthquakes, and nations rising against nations in diverse places,” as we see today. (Jer 1:14/Mat 24:7/Lk 17:26-28) This evil calamity that broke forth that we see around today was as a dream given to Daniel: the four winds of heaven that strive upon the great sea all around the world, having the four great beasts that have come out from the sea, diverse one from the other, as our Lord Jesus rebuked winds and the sea. (Dan 7:2-3/Mat 8:26)

The nations that have risen against nations, having floods with storms that are going on today all around the world, the kingdoms of the north shall set to enter the gates of Jerusalem; there shall be an “evil ongoing calamity” that shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land, on the earth. (Jer 1:14) They shall set everyone their throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem; there shall be a judgment that shall come unto them, for their wickedness, forsaking God the Father. (Jer 1:15-16) For Jerusalem shall be a cup of trembling unto all people round about; and in that day Jerusalem shall be a burdensome stone for all people. (Zec 12:1-3) Gog the land of Magog, the chief prince (Rosh) of Me’-shech and Tu’-bal, having great company with bucklers and shields with swords, Persia, E-thi-o’-pi-a, Lib’-y-a, Go’-mer and all the house of To-gar’-mah of the north quarters. (Eze 38:1-6) And they shall come up against His people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; for then the heathen of all nations, as they enter, shall then know Him, for “He shall then be sanctified before the eyes of Gog.” (Eze 38:16)

Zechariah 12:3: And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, through all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
