The Bar Kokhba Revolt
- In the last lesson, we looked at the Jewish Wars with the Romans in the first century, leading up to the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70., as described by the historian Josephus in his amazing history of these events, The Wars of the Jews.
- The events of A.D. 70, as well as the fall of Masada in A.D. 73, had massive repercussions for the Jewish people. Forty years after the death of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, the Messiah, destruction came on the Jews - exactly as the prophecy in Deuteronomy chapter 28 said would happen. As we saw in our last lesson, these events were all recorded beforehand by the prophets of Israel - throughout the book of Daniel, in Micah, as well as Deuteronomy.
