The Fall of Jerusalem-The Third Stage of the Campaign of Armageddon:
The Antichrist will have all his allied forces with him in the Jezreel valley when he receives the news that the world capital, Babylon has fallen. He will not move eastward to counterattack his enemies. It is Satan who will be in control and it is his program to complete the destruction of the Jews. Being led by Satan the antichrist will move southwest to attack Jerusalem. Zechariah describes that third stage of the Campaign. From the Valley of Jezreel the armies of the Antichrist will move south, and the armies of the nations will gather against Jerusalem. Once again, Jerusalem will fall into Gentile hands, and half the population will be taken into slavery while the other half (the residue) will be allowed to remain in the city to await a later fate. The capture of Jerusalem by the forces of the Antichrist will not come easily. God will greatly equip the Jews to withstand the attack to a great degree causing heavy losses to the Antichrist’s armies. Zechariah 12:3 stated that all these nations that burden themselves with Jerusalem will be sorely wounded, and Jerusalem will become truly burdensome to them. Jewish forces that receive this Godly empowerment are again described in Zechariah.
