The only place-of-safety the Bible identifies....

The only place-of-safety the Bible identifies is Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Just to name a few:

Isaiah
4: 2 In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the
land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. 3 Those
who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are
recorded among the living in Jerusalem.

Joel 2:32 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

Zechariah 14 1 A day of the Lord is coming when your plunder will be divided among you.2 I
will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be
captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go
into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city.3 Then
the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of
battle.

All unfulfilled prophetic scripture(except the those addressing the millennium) is survival instruction for these believing survivors

Hello Enoch,

It's Bozrah.

Jeremiah 49:
13 For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.
16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
20 Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

Micah 2:12
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.


Micah 2:12 does make a reference to gathering the remnant of Israel but the reference to "as the sheep of Bozrah" doesn't mean this gathering is at Bozrah. I've looked at it and read commentaries and have found it to be a stretch. I'd be interested in what you think of these passages compared to the ones about Mount Zion.
