Luke 11:47-51 47 “Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them. 48 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs. 49 Because of this, God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’50 Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, 51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.
Jesus’ words above was a prophecy against the Jerusalem of the first century. We then see this fulfilled in the destruction of Babylon the great in the verses below found in Revelation chapter 18. Thus Jesus tied Babylon the great to the Jerusalem of the first century.
Revelation 18:20 & 24
20“Rejoice over her, you heavens! Rejoice, you people of God! Rejoice, apostles and prophets! For God has judged her with the judgment she imposed on you.”
24In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”

I hope you can see the problem I am trying to flush out in my discussions on another thread.
What signaled the loss of faith that led to the flood was the men of God lost the desire to provide for their wives. They were attracted to the beauty of the daughters of men because sex was removed from provision and children.
The disciples groaned about jesus's prohibition of divorce and remarriage....and it fell.

I do think I see what you are saying but I think that people get confused from exactly what you are trying to say I think that if you started a new topic in point forum it would really clarify and then make much more sense please do I am interested

I am not sure if I can explain it any clearer? Yes but I just think in point forum in just a few sentences in one post may help incase people didn't see all of your post so they can tie it all together
