Jeremiah 3, verse 17:“‘At that time Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the Lord, and all the nations shall be gathered to it[there is that word‘gathered'], to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem..
Shortly before Jesus was crucified, he prophesied that as a punishment for rejecting him, Jerusalem would be burned, the temple would be destroyed, and the Jews would be led away captive into all nations.

However both the temple and the city of Jerusalem were destroyed by the Roman army during the first and the second Jewish war which occurred in AD 66 and 70 respectively.
