Zechariah 12:8-9
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
8 In that day will the Lord guard and defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he who is [spiritually] feeble and stumbles among them in that day [of persecution] shall become [strong and noble] like David; and the house of David [shall maintain its supremacy] like God, like the [a]Angel of the Lord Who is before them.
9 And it shall be in that day that I will make it My aim to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Malachi 1:2-5
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 I have loved you, says the Lord. Yet you say, How and in what way have You loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? says the Lord; yet I loved Jacob (Israel),
3 But [in comparison with the degree of love I have for Jacob] I have hated Esau [Edom] and have laid waste his mountains, and his heritage I have given to the jackals of the wilderness.(A)
4 Though [impoverished] Edom should say, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places—thus says the Lord of hosts: They may build, but I will tear and throw down; and men will call them the Wicked Country, the people against whom the Lord has indignation forever.
5 Your own eyes shall see this and you shall say, The Lord is great and will be magnified over and beyond the border of Israel!(B)

Malachi 1:2-5
New International Version
Israel Doubts God’s Love
2 “I have loved(A) you,” says the Lord.
“But you ask,(B) ‘How have you loved us?’
“Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I have loved Jacob,(C) 3 but Esau I have hated,(D) and I have turned his hill country into a wasteland(E) and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.(F)”
4 Edom(G) may say, “Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild(H) the ruins.”
But this is what the Lord Almighty says: “They may build, but I will demolish.(I) They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the Lord.(J) 5 You will see it with your own eyes and say, ‘Great(K) is the Lord—even beyond the borders of Israel!’(L)
Matthew 24:27-30
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
27 For just as the lightning flashes from the east and shines and [a]is seen as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28 Wherever there is a fallen body (a corpse), there the vultures (or eagles) will flock together.(A)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not shed its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.(B)
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and [b]beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliancy and splendor].(C)
