The destruction of Jerusalem and
the Temple at AD70.
"The End and The Beginning"
The following is a historical fact. In approximately the year 70 AD the
Roman army attacked and destroyed the nation of Judea. The army circled the
cities setting siege and finally pillaged and burned what was left. The Romans
had the captives (slaves) pry the bricks of the old Jewish Temple apart so that
any precious metal that had melted between them could be recovered. So at AD70
the Old Church of Moses or Jewish Church effectively ended. No more sacrifices
could be made to God on the alter and no one could claim to be the Messiah,
as no records remained to establish lineage.
In the study of Christianity we need to add AD70 to the dates to remember.
We remember that Jesus was born about 3BC to 4BC. We know that he was crucified
at about 30AD. We need to realize he returned at AD70. This is when the temple
at Jerusalem and it's records were was destroyed. The old
covenant was over, the new covenant had come and Jesus returned to live in our
hearts. AD70 is the end of the old “heaven and earth” and the start of the new.
