Why did God let the Temple be destroyed in A.D. 70?
Scripture indicates the Temple was destroyed in A.D. 70 because Israel was stiff-necked and steeped in unbelief. God providentially uprooted the nation, dispersing them and emptying the land. Yet He also promised to bring them back in His own time, showing He still will deal with His national people.
Les explains that Israel was stiff-necked and steeped in unbelief, so God finally allowed the Temple to be destroyed in A.D. 70. The nation was dispersed and the land emptied of them. Yet this was providential, not permanent: God promised to bring them back in His own time, and the Old Testament repeatedly affirms He will still deal with His national people Israel.
