Siege of Jerusalem by Roman army in 70 CE

Why does the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 matter for how Christians understand the Great Tribulation? In this episode of The Based Boomer Podcast, Mike D’Virgilio examines the fall of Jerusalem, the destruction of the temple, and the horrific Roman siege that brought an end to the Old Covenant age. Drawing from Scripture and historical accounts, Mike explores the events surrounding A.D. 70 and their connection to Jesus’ warnings in Matthew 24. Was the Great Tribulation a worldwide event still waiting in our future—or was Jesus describing the catastrophic judgment that would fall upon Jerusalem within that generation? Mike makes the case that understanding A.D. 70 changes the way we read biblical prophecy, the Olivet Discourse, and the advance of Christ’s kingdom in history.
Fr. Mike introduces us to the prophet Jeremiah, who is also known as the Prophet of Doom and the Weeping Prophet. He explains what makes Jeremiah different than the other prophets, and encourages us to cling closely to him as we hear about his difficult call. Today's readings are Jeremiah 1, Ezekiel 27, and Proverbs 14:5-8. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

A listener pushes back on Dr. Craig's claim that neither Jesus nor Paul expected the second coming within their own generation. Pointing to Matthew 24:36 and Jesus' words to the disciples about "this generation," and argues that Jesus was predicting a coming in judgment on Jerusalem in A.D. 70, not his final return.Dr. Craig agrees with partial preterism as far as it goes, but explains why he stops short of full preterism. Working through the Greek text of Mark 13, he distinguishes between what "these things" (tauta panta) refers to and the coming of the Son of Man itself, then raises three objections to the full preterist reading: (1) the coming of the Son of Man predicted by Jesus is a visible coming to Earth; (2) the Son of Man need not wait until A.D. 70 to be enthroned; and (3) the full preterist view cannot make good sense of the resurrection of the dead, which Paul ties to Christ's coming but which plainly did not occur in A.D. 70.

The Spiritual Check Engine Light: Supernatural Warnings Before 70 ADRecognizing Divine Omen, Mercy, and the Pattern of JudgmentShow NotesHistory records the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD as a brutal military conquest, but the spiritual reality behind the scenes was far more profound. In this episode of Coffee with Conrad, we explore the supernatural phenomena that served as a "final booming alarm clock" for a generation that had rejected the living Word standing right in front of them.Conrad digs into the accounts of historians Flavius Josephus and Tacitus—two men from opposite worlds who corroborated the same impossible events. From swords of light in the heavens to biological impossibilities in the temple courts, we examine the major signs sent by God to warn His people before the Roman legions ever marched on Judea.Key Topics Discussed:The Sword in the Sky: A stationary, sword-shaped omen that hung over Jerusalem for an entire year, signaling that the sword of the Lord was drawn.Armies in the Clouds: A mass sighting of celestial chariots and troops maneuvering through the sky, pre-enacting the coming siege.The Departing Glory: Why the massive Corinthian bronze temple doors swung open at midnight "of their own accord" , and the chilling voice heard at Pentecost saying, "Let us remove hence".+2The Impossible Lamb: The shocking biological sign of a heifer giving birth to a lamb in the temple court, symbolizing that the final sacrifice had already been made.The 40-Year Probation: The significance of the miracles associated with the Day of Atonement stopping for 40 years—the exact span from the crucifixion in 30 AD to the destruction in 70 AD.Biblical Foundations:Amos 3:7: "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets".Matthew 24:2: Jesus' prophecy that not one stone of the temple would be left upon another.John 1:29: Identifying the true Lamb of God.Proverbs 29:1: "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy".Closing Thought: The tragedy of 70 AD wasn't a lack of signs, but a lack of submission to the Spirit. Are we "bulldozing ahead" with our own theology today, or are we sitting still long enough to hear what the Spirit is saying to our generation?.Hashtags: #BibleProphecy #70AD #Supernatural #ChurchHistory #Josephus #SignsAndWonders #BiblicalJesus #SpiritualWarfare #EndTimes #KJV #ConradRocks
THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM AND THE END OF THE WORLD MATTHEW 24:15-31
The Historical Disappearance of Mary: Colleague James Tabor explains that following the crucifixion, Mary disappears from the biblical record, likely dying before the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem; while early Christians fled to Pella under Simon's leadership, traditions suggest Mary died on Mount Zion, with Tabor arguing she was "written out" of the story by later traditions. 1650

Send us a textA viewer asked a question on my previous podcast about how Matthew 24 fits into postmillennialism, so I decided to dive a bit into the history of the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70, the destruction of the temple, and the fulfillment of Jesus's prophecy that's often confused as a prophecy about the end of the whole world. And it all took place during the generation that Jesus was speaking to.Support the showSupport the Show! https://www.patreon.com/sparenoarrowsCheck out the video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@sparenoarrowsConnect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spare_no_arrows/Spare no Arrows on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6CqhvtMWRItkoiv8ZrJ6zVSpare no Arrows on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spare-no-arrows/id1528869516
Today,we will be looking at Luke 21:20-24. In this passage, Jesus gives His greatprophecy concerning future events to His disciples from the Mount of Olives asthey overlook the city of Jerusalem. He's answering their question: what willthe signs be of the end of the age, and when will that happen? Here, Jesusdescribes what we've already discussed as the great tribulation period, theseven years between the time of the church age, the rapture of the church, andthe millennial reign of Jesus Christ on earth. Nowin verses 20-24, Jesus describes the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. Thispassage is peculiar to Luke; there is no parallel description found in Matthewor Mark, in spite of the similar language in Matthew 24:16-21 and Mark13:14-17. However, it is clear that both Matthew and Mark were referring toevents in the middle of the Tribulation when "the abomination ofdesolation" would be set up in the Jewish temple and the Antichrist (theworld ruler) would begin to persecute Israel (Dan. 9:24-27; Rev. 13). That iswhere Jesus warned the Jewish people, to flee and go into hiding, for"great tribulation" was about to fall. Luke'saccount here in verses 20-24 refers not to a distant event to occur during theTribulation but to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus and the Roman army in 70A.D., just forty years from that time that Jesus is explaining these events toHis disciples (see Luke 19:41-44). This terrible event was in many respects a"dress rehearsal" for what will happen when Satan vents his anger onIsrael and the believing Gentiles during the last half of the Tribulation (Rev.12:7-17). Whenthis event in verses 20-24 historically took place in 70 A.D., the Jewishhistorian Josephus claimed that nearly a million people were killed by theRomans, and over 100,000 taken captive, when Titus captured the city. And theJewish people and nation was scattered throughout the world. Butthis was not the first time Jerusalem would be "trampled by theGentiles," for the Babylonians had destroyed the city in 586 B.C. andtaken the people captive to Babylon. This is basically when, what is called "thetimes of the Gentiles" began. The Jewish people went back into their homelandin 1948 at the end of War World 2, and in 1967 recaptured and occupiedJerusalem in the Six Day War. Butwe believe that this significant time period of the Gentiles did not end then. Becausein the middle of the Tribulation the Antichrist will break his peace treatywith Israel and again take over Jerusalem after he kills to two witnesses in Revelation11. In God's plan, the “times of the Gentiles” will end when Jesus Christreturns to the earth, destroys all Gentile power, and sets up His own righteouskingdom (Daniel 2:34-36, 44-45; Revelation 19). TheApostle Paul also spoke of this time of the Gentiles ending in Romans 11:25-27.He called it the “fulness of the Gentiles”, speaking of the time at the end ofthe Tribulation when Jesus comes again and there is a national spiritual salvationfor the Jewish people. Todaywe need to remember that believers are looking for their Lord's return shouldnot apply Luke 21:20-24 to their own situation. Jesus was talking aboutJerusalem in 70 A.D.. In Matthew 24:15-28 and Mark 13:14-23, He was speakingabout Israel's situation at the middle of the Tribulation. Since our Lord'scoming for the church will take place "in the twinkling of an eye" (1Cor. 15:52), no one will have time to go back home for a coat; nor will we haveto worry about traveling on the Sabbath or caring for nursing babies. Myfriend, we are getting closer every day to the return of Jesus Christ! Makesure you are ready!

The Second Temple (520 BCE-70 CE) was a period of Jewish Rebellions, the Maccabees against the Syrian Greeks, the Dead Sea Scrolls authors against the Priestly Establishment, the early Christians against Judaism, and the Jewish Zealots against the Roman oppressive rule. We will discuss the origins of the holiday of Chanukah, and the origins of the writing of the Talmud, and how the Rabbinic leadership prepared the people for exile from the land of Israel.

This sermon considers the "coming of the Son of Man" in the destruction of the temple in 70AD. Jesus uses prophetic and apocalyptic language to describe the coming judgment of Jerusalem that is orchestrated by his own hand. Jesus removes the kingdom from the Jews who rejected him and grants it to all who call upon his name. This passage reminds us of the truthfulness of our Lord and that we must take every thought captive to obey him.
In this sermon we continue our exposition of the Olivet Discourse. We take time to consider the phrases "abomination of desolation" and "great tribulation." When understanding Jewish idioms and historical events, these terms are demystified. This passage demonstrates the faithfulness of Jesus and the greatness of God's vengeance.
I. vv1-7 Invitations to the wedding feast go out, and are rejected. II. vv8-10 Invitations to the wedding feast are given to others, who fill the banquet hall. III. vv11-14 The King meet his guests, and finds one who doesn't belong.
In this second sermon on the Olivet Discourse in Luke 21, we're reminded of the suffering the apostles faced between the time of Jesus and the temple's destruction. Jesus' instruction to prepare them for suffering remains paradigmatic for disciples of Christ today.
This sermon begins an examination of the "Olivet Discourse" in the gospel of Luke where Jesus speaks about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. This is an important text that requires humility and careful consideration of the context. There are rich treasures in this passage for the church today.
