Shalom, logabe.
What a God! What a Plan! In fact, it is so big a Plan that it's out of your reach! Sorry, bro', but you are WAY off base.
First of all, let's look at the contexts of the verses that you've quoted:
Isaiah 29:4, 6 (why only THOSE two verses?):
Save a little time.
First of all, siege works and towers are only needed and only work against WALLED CITIES! Jerusalem today is NOT a walled city!
Retro... God is speaking of their counsel inside of their heart. What they believe
causes a wall to be set up so the rest of the people can't understand the truth.
Jesus tore down that wall of partition and opened up the way for all people. The
Jews wanted no part of it so they crucified the Lord thinking they were doing the
Father service. They were blind and had a wall around their understanding. Jer.
19:7 says,
7 I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem
in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword
before their enemies and by the hand of those who seek
their life; and I will give over their carcasses as food for
the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth.
God is going to temporarily hurt them, but in the process, He is going to DESTROY their enemies!
Not sure what enemies you're talking about, but I think you are referring to Isa. 29:7-8.
7 And the multitude of all the nations who wage war against
Ariel, Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold,
and who distress her, Will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8 It will be as when a hungry man dreams - And behold, he is
eating; But when he awakens, his hunger is not satisfied, Or as
when a thirsty man dreams - And behold, he is drinking, But
when he awakens, behold, he is faint And his thirst is not
quenched. Thus the multitude of all the nations will be Who
wage war against Mount Zion.
Who is interested in the physical city of Jerusalem? In order to understand these scriptures
we must ask ourselves this question. Well, how about Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Sounds
like a very good start.
Jeremiah used a metaphor to explain how the people who had interest in what happens to the
city of Jerusalem, and said, it would be like a dream, hunger, and a thirst that couldn't satisfy
the aspirations of the believer of these people. Every Jew, Christian, and Muslim will be rejected
in claiming the city that is so dear to their heart (religion). Jer. 19:11-12 says,
11 and say to them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Just so will I
break this people and this city, even as one breaks a potter's vessel,
which cannot again be repaired; and they will bury in Topheth
because there is no other place for burial.
12 "This is how I will treat this place and its inhabitants," declares
the LORD, "so as to make this city like Topheth.
God will destroy Jerusalem with perhaps nuclear missiles and no one who has interest in this
city will be satisfied. The Christians will say where is Jesus. I thought the Jews were going to
build a temple, but now because of radiation everywhere we can't even go to visit. It's going
to be like a dream... this can't be... that's not what Retro told me... just kidding... I love you
Retro.
In essence, they will not be able to comprehend what has happened because none of them win.
They will all be devastated when they see the city completely destroyed and no one can inhabit
that great city.
Jeremiah 19:6? REALLY?!
Clearly, this prophecy is about Nebuchadnezzar's destruction of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) LONG ago! Done! Over! Finit!
Now, regarding your theory that ...
Making sacrifices are NOT the abominations that caused the desolation of Jerusalem 40 years later!
Sure it's about Nebuchadnezzar... have you not heard of the Great Mystery Babylon. That's what I'm talking
about. It is coming down in our lifetime. The beast empires have been going on since 607 b.c. and the Babal
is what God is going to silence. Everything that's spoken and is not of God will be destroyed. You know, like
building a physical temple in Jerusalem to offer up animal sacrifices, because they don't believe that Jesus is
Lord. They want believe that anymore, because God will open their eyes in the 2nd resurrection. He will change
their thinking by destroying their idol.
As for as sacrifices not being abominations or the reason for the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 to 73 a.d. is
what Jesus said, the prophets and the ones sent they stoned. Why did they stone Paul? Because of what he
said. What did he say? Heb. 10:10-12 says,
10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of
Jesus Christ once for all.
11 Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the
same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;
12 but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT
THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,
My point is, why are we even entertaining the thought of the Jews building a temple and offering up animal
sacrifices as though it is something that is great. Even if God would allow it, it would be abomination. We need
to teach what Paul was teaching the Hebrews. Do you think they believed what Paul was telling them. No! He
was going against their established traditions and that's why they stoned him.
Why do you think they rejected Jeremiah? Because of what he said... Jer. 19:15 says,
15 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Behold, I am about
to bring on this city and all its towns the entire calamity that I have
declared against it, because they have stiffened their necks so as not to
heed My words.' "
What words did they not heed to. Jer. 19:4 says,
4 "Because they have forsaken Me and have made this an alien place
and have burned sacrifices in it to other gods, that neither they nor
their forefathers nor the kings of Judah had ever known, and because
they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent
I'm going to leave you with this... Eph. 2:21-22 says,
21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into
a holy temple in the Lord,
22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God
in the Spirit.
