AD 70 · Early Church

Jerusalem and the temple destroyed by Titus

As Jesus had said of the temple, not one stone was left upon another (Matthew 24:2): Titus took Jerusalem and the temple burned, AD 70.

📖 Luke 21:5–7

5As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said, 6“As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” 7“Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?”
