Ezra 7:10

Jesus and AD 70

I just finished reading a summary of the arguments for why the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24Open Link in New Window, Mark 13Open Link in New Window, and Luke 21Open Link in New Window is not referring to some end of the world apocalyptic scenario in the fashion of Left Behind but rather the destruction of Jewish Temple and the end of the Jewish Age. The book is called The Last Days According to Jesus: When Did Jesus Say He Would Return? by R C Sproul. Over the next several posts I want to follow the aurguments Sproul puts forward, based on James Stuart Russell’s work, for an AD 70 fulfillment of the mini-apocalypse in the Olivet Discourse. If you are interested in looking at a preterist position, this is a good read.
