REVELATION 11 , BEGINS WHEN JOHN PROPHESY AGAIN OF WHAT HE SEE ; AS INSTRUCTED BY THE ANGEL IN REVELATION 10:11 ; AFTER JOHN HAD TAKEN THE LITTLE BOOK FROM THE ANGEL , AND EATEN IT UP . REVELATION 11:1-2 , " 1.And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. JOHN BEGINS TO PROPHESY AGAIN AROUND THE TIME OF THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM IN 73 A.D.. The temple is the second temple before it's destruction in 73 A.D. . The temple, which was destroyed along with the rest of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD 73 , contained four separate “courts,” separated from one another and each designed for a different purpose: the Court of the Gentiles, the Court of the Women, the Court of Israel (or the Court of Men), and the Court of Priests. The Court of the Gentiles is referred to as “the outer court” in Revelation 11:2. The prophesy of the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months , is the warning that Jesus made in Matthew 24:15-16, Mark 13:14 , and Luke 21:20-21 ; which allowed the believers to fled Judaea into the wilderness , when the Roman army first surrounded Judaea but withdrew approximately 3.5 years earlier . The armies returned and blocked off Jerusalem at the time of the spring feast in 70 A.D. ; and it was destroyed in the fall of 73 A.D. . BY READING DANIEL THE PROPHET IN DANIEL 9:26 ; THE BELIEVERS IN CHRIST KNEW THAT THEY MUST FLEE JUDAEA , AFTER THE ROMAN ARMIES FIRST SURROUNDED JUDAEA , BUT WITHDREW BECAUSE OF TROUBLES IN ROME . . Revelation 11:3-4 , " 3.And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4.4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. QUESTION ! HOW MANY NATIONS ARE UNDER THE LAWS OF GOD ? HOW MANY NATIONS HAST HE MADE A COVENANT WITH ? HOW MANY NATIONS HAST HE CALL HIS WITNESSES ? PSALM 147:19-20 , " 19.He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 20.He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD. Isaiah 43:1,9-10 , " 1.But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 9.Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. 10Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Jeremiah 11:16-17 , " 16.The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.17.For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal. The church is the covenant between the Father and the ones he hast gone into the covenant with to keep all of his laws ; which are the children of Israel. The two witnesses in Revelation 11 , are Israel and Judah . The two olive trees and candlesticks : the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel . ROMANS 11:16-18 , " 16.For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17.And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18.Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Jeremiah 31:35-46 , " 35.Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: 36If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Clothed in sackcloth means in mourning ; which they prophesied the word of the God of Israel for a thousand two hundred and threescore days in the wilderness . Revelation 12:5-6 , " 5.And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.6.And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. They were protected by the daughters of Moab . Isaiah 16:1-4 , " 1.Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. 2For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon. 3Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth. 4Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. Revelation 11:5 , " 5.And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. The fire coming out of their mouth is the word of God , not real fire . Jeremiah 23:29 , " 29.Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Revelation 11:7 , " 7.And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. AFTER THEIR PROPHECY IS COMPLETED IN 73 A.D. , SATAN WHICH IS THE BEAST WILL OVERCOME THEM ; A GREAT FALLING AWAY OF FAITH AS STATED BY THE APOSTLE PAUL IN 2 THESSALONIANS 2:1-3 ; ALSO AMOS 8:11-12 .
Revelation 11:8 , " 8.And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. WHERE DID THE FIRST AFFLICTION OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TAKE PLACE ? EXODUS 20:1-2 , " 1.And God spake all these words, saying, 2.I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. BECAUSE EGYPT WAS ISRAEL FIRST CAPTIVITY , IT BECAME KNOWN AS THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE . QUESTION ! WHERE IS THE NATION OF ISRAEL LOCATED TODAY ? DEUTERONOMY 28:25 , " 25.The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. THE SPIRITUAL EGYPT TODAY FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL , OR THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE ; WHICH IS ALSO SPIRITUAL SODOM , WHERE ALSO OUR LORD ( JESUS CHRIST ) WAS CRUCIFIED ; IS THAT GREAT CITY CALLED THE EARTH . SODOM MEANS AN UNHOLY WAY OF LIFE , LIKE SODOM AT THE TIME OF ABRAHAM . ZION IS THE FIRST HEAVEN , THE FOOTSTOOD OF GOD ON THIS EARTH . JESUS WAS NOT CRUCIFIED IN ZION , BUT TAKEN OUTSIDE OF THE CITY ; WHICH IS THE EARTH . Revelation 11:9-10 , " 9.And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. PSALM 83 ALL OF THE AFFLICTIONS OF ISRAEL FROM THE SLAVE TRADES ,TO THE ROMAN INQUISITION , TO THIS PRESENT DAY . Revelation 11:11And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Isaiah 44:1-5 Ezekiel 37:1-14 Revelation 11:12-13 , " 12.And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven. JESUS CHRIST WILL GATHER THE ELECT OF MATTHEW 24:31 ; 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16-17 ; AND REVELATION 7 ( 144,000) ; WHICH WILL RECEIVE THEIR HEAVENLY BODIES IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION . THEY ARE THE MANY CHRIST CONFIRMED THE COVENANT WITH IN DANIEL 9:27 ; WHICH THE 70 WEEKS END AT HIS RETURN TO REWARD THEM WITH CROWNS OF GLORY ( 2 TIMOTHY 4:6-8 ) . THESE ARE THE SAINTS , WHICH WILL FIGHT WITH JESUS AGAINST THE WICKED AT HIS RETURN . PSALM 149:1-9 A great voice from heaven will say : Come up hither " ; and the 144,000 , or the elect , or saints will ascended to the second heaven , to met the Lord Jesus Christ descending from the third heaven , and return to the Mount of olives . Zechariah 14:3-9 Jesus Christ will rule in his kingdom , on this earth for 1000 years . AT HIS RETURN , JESUS WILL GATHER THE FLESH AND BLOOD SEED OF JACOB FROM ALL COUNTRIES HE HAST SCATTERED THEM IN , AND TAKE THEM TO THE WILDERNESS . LUKE 21:24-28 THIS WILL BE COMPLETED AT JESUS'S RETURN : EZEKIEL 20:30-38 , " 30.Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?31For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.32And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.33As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:34And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.35And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.36Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.37And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:38And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. The third woe is the opening of the seventh seal , at the end of the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ ; which leads to the time of the great white throne judgment ; because the seventh Angel sounds the trump , and the kingdoms of this world has become the kingdoms of our LORD ( Father ) , and of his Christ ( Jesus ) , and he shall reign forever ; also the dead shall be judged ( which will not happen until the destruction of this earth , and the great white throne judgment ) .

It's always good to start the study with your online guests included in your prayer. Prayer before study is necessary to invite the Holy Spirit, the One who inspired the writing of Scripture to help us understand it and soften our hearts to receive it. Some great points brought out, however. We can be certain of our prophetic interpretations today. The Protestant reformers also believed as we do that the two witnesses sre the Old Testament and the New Testament. They relinquished these beliefs when Jesuit infiltrators brought new theories to take the heat off the RC Papacy. Remember, deception is Satan's biggest method to trick us and he's good at it.
EZEKIEL 43:1-7 , 1.Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east: 2And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. 3And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. 4And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. 5So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. 6And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me. 7And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high places. THIS IS THE THIRD TEMPLE , THE ONE WHICH JESUS CHRIST WILL DWELL IN ON THIS EARTH ON THE DAY OF REST ; WHICH THE SABBATH IS A FORESHADOW OF . HAGGAI 2:6-23 , 6.For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. 8The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. 9The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. 10In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, 11Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, 12If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No. 13Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean. 14Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean. 15And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD: 16Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty. 17I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD. 18Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it. 19Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you. 20And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, 21Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; 22And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. 23In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts. WHEN WILL THE THRONES OF KINGDOMS BE OVERTHROWN , AND THE STRENGTH OF THE KINGDOMS OF THE HEATHEN BE DESTROYED ? AT CHRIST RETURN TO SETUP HIS KINGDOM AND RESTORE ISRAEL AS A NATION . SHALOM !

REVELATION 11 , BEGINS WHEN JOHN PROPHESY AGAIN OF WHAT HE SEE ; AS INSTRUCTED BY THE ANGEL IN REVELATION 10:11 ; AFTER JOHN HAD TAKEN THE LITTLE BOOK FROM THE ANGEL , AND EATEN IT UP .
REVELATION 11:1-2 , " 1.And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
JOHN BEGINS TO PROPHESY AGAIN AROUND THE TIME OF THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM IN 73 A.D..
The temple is the second temple before it's destruction in 73 A.D. .
The temple, which was destroyed along with the rest of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD 73 , contained four separate “courts,” separated from one another and each designed for a different purpose: the Court of the Gentiles, the Court of the Women, the Court of Israel (or the Court of Men), and the Court of Priests. The Court of the Gentiles is referred to as “the outer court” in Revelation 11:2.
The prophesy of the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months , is the warning that Jesus made in Matthew 24:15-16, Mark 13:14 , and Luke 21:20-21 ; which allowed the believers to fled Judaea into the wilderness , when the Roman army first surrounded Judaea but withdrew approximately 3.5 years earlier . The armies returned and blocked off Jerusalem at the time of the spring feast in 70 A.D. ; and it was destroyed in the fall of 73 A.D. .
BY READING DANIEL THE PROPHET IN DANIEL 9:26 ; THE BELIEVERS IN CHRIST KNEW THAT THEY MUST FLEE JUDAEA , AFTER THE ROMAN ARMIES FIRST SURROUNDED JUDAEA , BUT WITHDREW BECAUSE OF TROUBLES IN ROME .
.
Revelation 11:3-4 , " 3.And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4.4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
QUESTION ! HOW MANY NATIONS ARE UNDER THE LAWS OF GOD ? HOW MANY NATIONS HAST HE MADE A COVENANT WITH ? HOW MANY NATIONS HAST HE CALL HIS WITNESSES ?

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.32And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.33As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:34And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.35And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.36Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.37And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:38And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

Shalon !
It's always good to start the study with your online guests included in your prayer. Prayer before study is necessary to invite the Holy Spirit, the One who inspired the writing of Scripture to help us understand it and soften our hearts to receive it.
Some great points brought out, however. We can be certain of our prophetic interpretations today. The Protestant reformers also believed as we do that the two witnesses sre the Old Testament and the New Testament. They relinquished these beliefs when Jesuit infiltrators brought new theories to take the heat off the RC Papacy. Remember, deception is Satan's biggest method to trick us and he's good at it.
EZEKIEL 43:1-7 , 1.Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
2And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
3And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
4And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
5So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
6And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
7And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high places.
THIS IS THE THIRD TEMPLE , THE ONE WHICH JESUS CHRIST WILL DWELL IN ON THIS EARTH ON THE DAY OF REST ; WHICH THE SABBATH IS A FORESHADOW OF .
HAGGAI 2:6-23 , 6.For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
8The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
9The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
10In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
11Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
12If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
13Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
14Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
15And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
16Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
17I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.
18Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it.
19Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
20And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
21Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
WHEN WILL THE THRONES OF KINGDOMS BE OVERTHROWN , AND THE STRENGTH OF THE KINGDOMS OF THE HEATHEN BE DESTROYED ?
AT CHRIST RETURN TO SETUP HIS KINGDOM AND RESTORE ISRAEL AS A NATION .
SHALOM !
REVELATION 11 , BEGINS WHEN JOHN PROPHESY AGAIN OF WHAT HE SEE ; AS INSTRUCTED BY THE ANGEL IN REVELATION 10:11 ; AFTER JOHN HAD TAKEN THE LITTLE BOOK FROM THE ANGEL , AND EATEN IT UP .
REVELATION 11:1-2 , " 1.And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
JOHN BEGINS TO PROPHESY AGAIN AROUND THE TIME OF THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM IN 73 A.D..
The temple is the second temple before it's destruction in 73 A.D. .
The temple, which was destroyed along with the rest of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD 73 , contained four separate “courts,” separated from one another and each designed for a different purpose: the Court of the Gentiles, the Court of the Women, the Court of Israel (or the Court of Men), and the Court of Priests. The Court of the Gentiles is referred to as “the outer court” in Revelation 11:2.
The prophesy of the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months , is the warning that Jesus made in Matthew 24:15-16, Mark 13:14 , and Luke 21:20-21 ; which allowed the believers to fled Judaea into the wilderness , when the Roman army first surrounded Judaea but withdrew approximately 3.5 years earlier . The armies returned and blocked off Jerusalem at the time of the spring feast in 70 A.D. ; and it was destroyed in the fall of 73 A.D. .
BY READING DANIEL THE PROPHET IN DANIEL 9:26 ; THE BELIEVERS IN CHRIST KNEW THAT THEY MUST FLEE JUDAEA , AFTER THE ROMAN ARMIES FIRST SURROUNDED JUDAEA , BUT WITHDREW BECAUSE OF TROUBLES IN ROME .
