How do we know that the judgment on Jerusalem was just?

Answered in 1 source

The judgment was executed as a fulfillment of prophecy and due to Israel's rejection of Christ.

The judgment upon Jerusalem serves to illustrate God's righteousness in dealing with sin. Historically, the Jewish nation had rejected the prophets sent to them, culminating in the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This rejection was prophesied by the Old Testament prophets, and Jesus Himself indicated that the destruction would come as a divine vengeance for this iniquity. The historical account of the destruction corroborates this, showing it as a direct result of their accumulated guilt and rebellion against God, as explained in Matthew 23:34-35.
