A. All are destined for destruction

"And the city and all that is in it shall be devoted to the Lord [for destruction];"

The whole world waits for it's destruction because of ungodly people that lives on it. Majority are ungodly people, unbelievers who don't believe GOD, JESUS and His WORDS. They believe in the mother instead but not in the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.

2 Peter 3:7 (Amplified Bible)

But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored up (reserved) for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people.

John 14:6 (Amplified Bible)

Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

Who or what will be destroyed?

1. Lovers of money are plunging themselves into ruin and destruction while they enjoy it.

1 Timothy 6:9 (Amplified Bible)

But those who crave to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish (useless, godless) and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction and miserable perishing.

2. Deception into sin and backsliders are doomed for destruction.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 (Amplified Bible)

Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition),

3. Fake peace and fake safety

People thought they can be saved by their own money, good works and they have peace and safety. Think and read again unbelieving rich people!

1 Thessalonians 5:3 (Amplified Bible)

When people are saying, All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape.

4. Enemies of the cross of CHRIST

Philippians 3:18-19 (Amplified Bible)

For there are many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, who walk (live) as enemies of the cross of Christ (the Anointed One).

They are doomed and their fate is eternal misery (perdition); their god is their stomach (their appetites, their sensuality) and they glory in their shame, siding with earthly things and being of their party.

5. sinful nature

Galatians 6:8 (Amplified Bible)

For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
