FOREWORD   Jesus and Josephus and Suetonius and Tacitus on the 64 to 70 A.D. Fall of Jerusalem

Jesus, during His Own earthly lifetime and before the end of 35 A.D., predicted that the old Jerusalem would die within that very same generation.   See Matthew 24:15,28,34 cf. Mark 13:14-30 & Luke 21:20-24.    That “generation” apparently lasted forty years; and therefore ended before 75 A.D.   Hebrews 3:7-10,17 & 13:12-14.

However, before Jerusalem expired, from her dying womb the Saviour first delivered the “New Jerusalem” of His Christian Church.   Matthew 24:8; Mark 13:8 f ; John 16:19-21; cf. First Thessalonians 5:3.   See too the 50-58 A.D. book of Galatians 4:4-6 & 4:21-26 (q.v.!); the 60-65 A.D. book of Matthew (23:1-37 to 24:34f); the 60-65 A.D. book of Mark (13:l-30f); and the 65-69 A.D. book of Luke (17:22-37 & 21:5-32f & 23:28-31).   Compare also the circa A.D. 66 Epistle to the Hebrews (8:4-12 & 9:25 & 10:11 &11:13-16 & 12:22f & 13:10-14); and the 68-69 A.D. book of Revelation (1:1-19 & 2:9-10 & 3:9-10 & 6:4-17 & 7:4-7 & 8:5-8f & 11:1,2,8 & 12:1-6 & 21:1-10 & & 22:16f).
