The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. was not a matter of persecution, Mr. Revisionist. Read up on the Jewish Wars by Josephus. The Jews became their own worst enemies by stirring up the wrath of Rome against them. Also, 70 A.D. came to past to fulfill Christ's prophecy of judgment upon Israel for their rejection of the Messiah, and also served as the final nail in the coffin of Old Covenant Judaism. Jesus clearly predicted that his generation would not pass away until Jerusalem and the temple were utterly destroyed. And so it was.
