Jerusalem Destroyed By Babylonians
            When Nebuchadnezzar heard of Zedekiah`s rebellion he came 
back to Jerusalem for the last time, in 586 BC, reduced 
Jerusalem to rubble and sent the Temple up in flames. 
Zedekiah was forced to witness the slaughter of his sons, 
then his eyes were put out, and he himself was carried off 
to Babylon. The Kingdom was over and the "times of the 
gentiles" had begun.
