How come no mention of the fall of the Temple in A.D. 70 in the NT?

[The Irish Ram]

I never understood why some add an "s" that never was there

Because of the number of prophetic things revealed in the book. What Revelation is actually referring to is Christ being revealed. He is the Revelation, singular.

relying on a translation is always IFFY----do you know the greek word used (not that I think it really matters)

Its also first century history unless you are a follower of Cyrus Scofield.

try the OP-----the lack of mention of the destruction of the Temple
by the Roman barbarians and the flood of blood in the streets of
Jerusalem. Scofield not withstanding. Constantine forgot?

Weren't there any Jews around after 70 AD?

editing and redacting the NT? The history of that "holey
roman empire" filth is addressed in detail by Josephus Flavius--
Pharisee jew and cohen. The Jerusalem jews had been almost
entirely obliterated

Are you saying the Jews didn't write anything after the birth of Jesus?

jews wrote lots after the putative birth of Jesus. You seem very confused---
Jews did not write the NT which does deal with the LIFE AND TIMES
of Jesus. The issue of this thread is the fact that the roman program siege, murder and destroy of Jerusalem was somehow LEFT OUT.

Well, why don't you link us to what the Jews wrote from 66 to 73 AD?

ALL OF IT? That would be impossible----jews wrote prodigiously
for the past 3000+ years. The Jerusalem talmud was COMPILED
approx 350 CE from notes of learned discussions that earlier talmudists like Hillel (the guy Jesus liked to quote) who died about
the time Jesus is said to have been born. How is 66-73 an issue?

No.. Just post what they wrote during and immediately after the Siege of Jerusalem.

Your request makes no sense. ----the surviving scholars either
fled or went "underground" and you want a rundown of anything
written in a seven year window? Archaeologists are still digging
up the hidden sites Rabbi shimon bar yochai was in a cave somewhere. Seems the Jerusalem post office was not functioning

Simon bar Kokhba fought against the Roman Empire circa 132–136 CE, it was the last of three major Jewish–Roman wars, so it is also known as The Third Jewish–Roman War .. Did they write anything about the Temple?

who is "they" bar kokhba is not bar yochai. . It is not clear to me if Bar Kokhba wrote anything that is extant. The writer in the family was bar yochai. The filth of roman barbarity in the siege of Jerusalem was described by Josephus. Did Jesus ever write a letter to his mother? maybe wikki knows. There are comments about
the temple ruins in the TALMUD YERUSHALAMI but I do not have
the english translations thereof (or any of those volumes)

Someone must have written bout the third Jewish war.

Josephus-------and some other letters have been recently excavated.
Did Jesus EVER write a letter home?

Revelation relates the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple.

Why is that so hard?

Already done. post 145

Or better, Revelation 1:1 - Revelation 22:21.

nope-----none of your citations describe the ROMAN
DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE and siege of Jerusalem---
in fact some allude to an EARTH QUAKE DONE IT. sorta
like an ayatoilet claiming that the WTC went down because
of an asteroid
