“Therefore behold I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, so that UPON YOU MAY FALL THE GUILT OF ALL THE RIGHTEOUS BLOOD SHED ON EARTH from the blood of righteous Abel to the bloodof Zechariah, the son of Berechiah whom you murdered between the temple and the alter. TRULY I SAY TO YOU ALL THESE THINGS WILL COME UPON THIS GENERATION. JERUSALEM JERUSALEM, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings and you would not.” (Matthew 23:35 speaking about the scribes, pharisees and Jerusalem).

“and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer and the voice of the bridegroom and the bride will not be heard in you any longer for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery. AND IN HER WAS FOUND THE BLOOD OF PROPHETS AND OF SAINTS AND OF ALL WHO HAVE BEEN SLAIN ON THE EARTH.” (Revelations 18:24 speaking about Babylon)
