| | Siege of Jerusalem (70) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The siege of Jerusalem in the year 70 was a conclusive event in the first Jewish-Roman War. | | | Many Christians believe that the events surrounding AD 70, in particular the Destruction of Jerusalem; are the fulfillment of Jesus' predictions approximately 40 years before the event took place. | | | In opposition to this, secular biblical scholars date the writings of the New Testament after the destruction of the Temple, claiming that they were written with the advantage of hindsight to the events surrounding AD 70. |
