• We need to understand the enormity of the destruction that the Romans unleashed on Jerusalem, and Israel generally, and on the Jews in particular. That Roman Empire was the fourth beast system of Daniel’s prophecy. To quote from Daniel chapter 7:
• v. 7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.”
• That Roman Empire destroyed, without mercy, everything to do with God and the people of God. Jews were killed almost without number. Christians were killed and persecuted without mercy by Caligula, Nero, Domitian, and other Roman Emperors.
