Chris.
The enemies closed around Jerusalem. There is a vast difference between being defeated and almost being defeated. For many years Jerusalem has been threatened by various enemies and Nations and yet it still stands today as a prosperous city and an international city where people go to learn and tour. This has to be a Testimony of the Goodness of God.
