A. DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM, which happened as expected.
B. JERUSALEM's DESTRUCTION, which happened as expected.
C. DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM, which was expected.
D. JERUSALEM's DESTRUCTION, which was expected.

Actually .. the Jerusalem's destruction is wrong as Jerusalem is a proper noun.

SO ?

So the correct version should ideally be "......The destruction of Jerusalem which happened as expected"

So JOHN's cat is wrong per what you say.

We should use Cat of John ?

I think the difference is what you want to express most.( CAT or JOHN) There is nothing grammatically wrong between two of them.

No pal you didn't get me ...

"The Jerusalem's destruction" is wrong ... "Jersusalem's destruction" is correct. You don't use articles with proper nouns. If you look at the sentence "the" is not underlined .. so that's a part of the sentence that doesn't change.

Similarly .. "The John's cat" is wrong .. "John's cat" is correct

Now if you are using "Cat of John" then you have to specify "The cat of John" because Cat is a common noun
