What happened when the Roman army under Titus besieged Jerusalem?
The Roman army under Titus besieged Jerusalem, and after gaining entrance, it caused unimaginable mayhem. Roman legions destroyed thousands of Jews and dismantled the temple rock by rock and stone by stone, fulfilling the prophet's written word. Israel was then dispersed into every nation on earth.
Les teaches that God brought in the Roman army under Titus. Titus besieged the city, and when he finally gained entrance, it was the greatest mayhem that man could imagine. The Roman legions destroyed the Jews by the thousands and took the temple down rock by rock, stone by stone, exactly as the prophet had written would happen. Israel was dispersed into every nation on the face of the earth. Later, about the turn of the century, they started coming back and set up kibbutzes, and little by little the nation of Israel made its appearance. In 1948, after a little war with the Arabs around them, Harry Truman became the first world leader to declare Israel a sovereign state. Les notes that the world says God is through with the Jew, but He is not, because He promised His mercy would never depart from the nation of Israel.
