Zechariah 14:1-3 "A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided among you. I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle."

Will turn against Jerusalem?
When does it not?
I think it's entire existence of Jerusalem is siege, expulsion, recapture, expulsion, destruction, change of ownership, siege, siege, fire, earthquake, capture, recapture.
The first one of New Testament relevance was 70 CE siege of Jerusalem. Much of the New Testament was directly inspired by the Jewish-Roman war. Like if you look at when the NT books were largely written, it was like 55-85 CE, many right around 70 CE.
What I mean is, a 6th century BCE prophecy may have already been realized in its storied history of being attacked 52 times, captured and recaptured 44 times, besieged 23 times, and destroyed twice.
