The Romans Destroy the Temple
at Jerusalem, 70 AD
In the year 66 AD the Jews of Judea rebelled against their Roman masters. In response, the Emperor Nero dispatched an army under the generalship of Vespasian to restore order. By the year 68, resistance in the northern part of the province had been eradicated and the Romans turned their full attention to the subjugation of Jerusalem. That same year, the Emperor Nero died by his own hand, creating a power vacuum in Rome. In the resultant chaos, Vespasian was declared Emperor and returned to the Imperial City. It fell to his son, Titus, to lead the remaining army in the assault on Jerusalem.
Roman Centurian
The Roman legions surrounded the city and began to slowly squeeze the life out of the Jewish stronghold. By the year 70, the attackers had breached Jerusalem's outer walls and began a systematic ransacking of the city. The assault culminated in the burning and destruction of the Temple that served as the center of Judaism.
In victory, the Romans slaughtered thousands. Of those sparred from death: thousands more were enslaved and sent to toil in the mines of Egypt, others were dispersed to arenas throughout the Empire to be butchered for the amusement of the public. The Temple's sacred relics were taken to Rome where they were displayed in celebration of the victory.
The rebellion sputtered on for another three years and was finally extinguished in 73 AD with the fall of the various pockets of resistance including the stronghold at Masada.
"...the Jews let out a shout of dismay that matched the tragedy."
Our only first-hand account of the Roman assault on the Temple comes from the Jewish historian Josephus Flavius. Josephus was a former leader of the Jewish Revolt who had surrendered to the Romans and had won favor from Vespasian. In gratitude, Josephus took on Vespasian's family name - Flavius - as his own. We join his account as the Romans fight their way into the inner sanctum of the Temple:
"...the rebels shortly after attacked the Romans again, and a clash followed between the guards of the sanctuary and the troops who were putting out the fire inside the inner court; the latter routed the Jews and followed in hot pursuit right up to the Temple itself. Then one of the soldiers, without awaiting any orders and with no dread of so momentous a deed, but urged on by some supernatural force, snatched a blazing piece of wood and, climbing on another soldier's back, hurled the flaming brand through a low golden window that gave access, on the north side, to the rooms that surrounded the sanctuary. As the flames shot up, the Jews let out a shout of dismay that matched the tragedy; they flocked to the rescue, with no thought of sparing their lives or husbanding their strength; for the sacred structure that they had constantly guarded with such devotion was vanishing before their very eyes.
...No exhortation or threat could now restrain the impetuosity of the legions; for passion was in supreme command. Crowded together around the entrances, many were trampled down by their companions; others, stumbling on the smoldering and smoked-filled ruins of the porticoes, died as miserably as the defeated. As they drew closer to the Temple, they pretended not even to hear Caesar's orders, but urged the men in front to throw in more firebrands. The rebels were powerless to help; carnage and flight spread throughout.
Most of the slain were peaceful citizens, weak and unarmed, and they were butchered where they were caught. The heap of corpses mounted higher and higher about the altar; a stream of blood flowed down the Temple's steps, and the bodies of those slain at the top slipped to the bottom.
the entire episode is NOW BULLSHIT----including the fakeHonestly. Who cares about that rubbish? How would it affect you even if it did happen? It's bullshit.
very poetic-----at no point does the NT describe the descending murderous locusts as ROMANs-----which is what they were. It's
a smokescreen-----the LIE is the misrepresentation of the FILTH OF
ROME as a heavenly event-----to cover the stinking ass of rome
You did not respond to the post.There were many others who fought with the Romans... Egyptians, Syrians and Arabs.. It was the short path to Roman citizenship..
You did not respond to the post.
Which has what to do with the NT?It wasn't just Roman troops that served under Titus. Anyone in the Roman Empire could serve as a sure path to Roman citizenship.

The NT has the Romans looking like angels.
It's called actually reading the NT.I don't know how you would interpret it that the NT made them look like angels, but whatever makes you happy.

Yeah, that's worked out real well, hasn't it!Revelation 21:22 22I did not see a temple in the city, because the LORD God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

oh----the EPISCOPALIAN interpretation of early christian garbleYou really have a problem.. Revelation is a diatribe against the persecutions of the Roman emperor.
Nero (or Dominitian) is the beast.
The book is an example of the ancient genre of “apocalypse” and is not really a prophecy at all.
It’s an encouragement written in apocalyptic language, attempting to provide a hopeful outlook to christians in a particular region of western Turkey (the 7 churches), and to encourage them to remain firm in their faith through a trying time.
