How do we know the destruction of Jerusalem is part of God's judgment?

Answered in 1 source

The destruction is correlated with the fulfillment of Jesus' prophetic warnings and Old Testament prophecies.

The destruction of Jerusalem is affirmed as a divine judgment based on the rejection of Jesus Christ by the Jewish leaders of the time. In Matthew 21:43, Jesus states that the kingdom of God will be taken from the Jews and given to a nation that produces fruit, indicating God's disapproval of the nation's leaders and their actions. Old Testament prophecies, such as those from Daniel, corroborate this impending judgment as a consequence of their hostility towards God's messengers. The New Testament accounts of Jesus weeping over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41-44) further illustrate His sorrow for the coming destruction as a response to their unrepentant hearts. Thus, the synchronicity of Jesus' warnings with historical events confirms the understanding of this destruction as judgment.
