While God in Habakkuk 2 pronounces judgment on the nation of Babylon, Jesus in Matthew 23 pronounces judgment on the nation of Israel.

Jesus did come back prior to the apostles going through all of the towns in Israel, in the form of judgment which befell Jerusalem in AD 70.

I am going to suggest in this article that there is actually very good reason to think that ultimately there will be a greater number who find life in Christ than who are cast away.
