| | Jerusalem - Background and History |
 | | Jerusalem is commonly referred to as holy to all three monotheistic religions. | | | Mohammed and his followers initially turned to Jerusalem in prayer and although the direction was later changed towards Mecca, the sanctity of Jerusalem continued to be stressed in Islamic tradition. | | | The city's eternal spiritual and religious significance to the Jewish people was strengthened when David's son, King Solomon, constructed the Temple on the spot in Jewish tradition where Abraham expressed his willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac to God. |

| | Jerusalem - History |
| | While it is the heavenly rather than the earthly Jerusalem that is emphasized by the Church, places mentioned in the New Testament as the sites of his ministry and passion have drawn pilgrims and devoted worshipers for centuries. | | | Jerusalem became part of the southern kingdom of Judah, while ten of the northern tribes formed the new kingdom of Israel. | | | For Christians, Jerusalem is the place where Jesus lived, preached, died, and was resurrected. |

| | Siege of Jerusalem (70) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | 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. | | | Christians also believe that the events surrounding AD 70 are the fulfillment of various prophecies in the Old Testament. | | | 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. |

| | Jerusalem - encyclopedia article about Jerusalem. |
| | Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Torah and Tanakh, and Old Testament, a text sacred to both Judaism and Christianity. | | | Jerusalem is the place where Jesus was brought as a child, to be 'presented' at the Temple (Luke 2:22) and to attend festivals (Luke 2:41). | | | Jerusalem is also home to a number of the world's largest yeshivot (Talmudical and Rabbinical schools), and has become the undisputed capital of Jewish scholarly, religious and spiritual life for most of world Jewry. |

| | Chapter 39 - The Great Tribulation Period |
| | It is true that according to verse 34 the destruction of Jerusalem brought about either a spiritual or a typical fulfillment of all that is predicted in this part of the discourse. | | | But the literal fulfillment of that which Christ said about His second coming, and the anti-type of the siege of Jerusalem are yet to come. | | | The destruction of Jerusalem struck the death-blow to Judaism, and marked the coming of the kingdom of God with power, as Jesus had foretold (Mark 9:1; Matt. |

And Jesus went out, and departed from the Temple: and His disciples came to Him for to shew Him the buildings of the Temple. | | | I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. |

| | The Jewish War and the Destruction of Jerusalem |
| | Judaism was a "recognized religion." But after AD 70 when the two faiths stood apart in the full light of day, this confusion with its consequent protection of the Church was no longer possible. | | | But the prophecy of the Redeemer had to be fulfilled; the destruction of the temple occurred on the Jewish Sabbath, August 10th, 70. | | | The catastrophic event of its present, past, or future destruction would be a central, decisive world event-an extraordinary intervention of God signaling the beginning of the last days of the world. |

| | Pastor James Groce Responds To Larry Smith |
| | The idea is that with the Roman siege of Jerusalem and destruction of the Temple, New Testament prophecies were fulfilled. | | | Since both of them survived the Preterists hypothetical return of Christ in 70 AD with their power intact, neither of them could be the antichrist either. | | | The Preterists believe that Jesus Christ returned in judgment against Jerusalem and the Jews who still attempted to practice the Old Covenant in order to prove that the New Covenant had been inaugurated and the Old Covenant had passed away. |

| | It is more than probable that they apply to a second siege of Jerusalem, which is yet to take place, when Israel has returned to their own land, and to a second tribulation on the inhabitants thereof, which shall only be stopped by the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. | | | In 70 A.D. Jerusalem was trodden down by the Gentiles, a situation that has lasted and continued for many centuries, but when Christ comes at the end of the tribulation, the times of the Gentiles will come to an end (Daniel 2:44-45). | | | In 70 A.D. God’s wrath will be poured out on “this people” (the Jews) whereas in the final tribulation God’s wrath will be poured out on all nations (Rev. 6:15–“kings of the earth” etc.). |

| | It is against this rebellious Jerusalem that God is gathering the nations to His trial. | | | Because we live in an exile decreed by God, and structured by a divine treaty made manifest by Jesus on the cross, the bondage of the House of Israel in Babylon requires that every member of God's House live in peaceful obedience to the laws of Babylon. | | | The restoration of Jerusalem in scripture follows this theme and relates entirely to a reunion between the Prince of Peace and His people. |

| | SIEGE OF JERUSALEM: Introduction |
| | Jerusalem came under the control of Alexander the Great shortly after he conquered the Persians in 334, and Judaea passed into the hands of the Ptolemies during the breakup of Alexander's empire following his death, but little direct action was taken against the Jews or the Second Temple. | | | In a sense, the bitter separation of Church and Synagogue can be traced to the destruction of Jerusalem, since for the latter it resulted in renewed obedience to the Torah, while for the former it became a sign of the rejection of the old Israel and the birth of a new Christian empire in Rome. | | | The destruction of Jerusalem was a just war: a divine justice, a punishment for the death of Christ that prepares for the peace of His Second Coming. |

| | There was one notable exception to this passage in which the Jewish victims were first killed via crucifixion rather that being hung on a tree after death as was the case with the high priest, Alexander Janneus in which 800 Jews were crucified in Jerusalem in 267 BCE before their wives and children. | | | During the first revolt of the Jews against the Romans in 66-73 CE Josephus mentions that in the fall of Jerusalem (70 CE) “the soldiers out of rage and hatred amused themselves by nailing their prisoners in different postures (JW 5.11 and 451). | | | The widespread fear of crucifixion was such that Josephus reported that following the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE the threat by the Romans to crucify a Jewish prisoner alone caused the Jewish garrison stationed at Machaerus to surrender in exchange for safe passage from the city (War 6:4). |
