Description
In A.D. 70, the Roman army surrounded Jerusalem, breached its walls, and destroyed the temple—bringing an end to the old covenant world. In this episode, Matt Plett walks through Matthew 24:15–28 and shows how Jesus’ warnings align directly with the events leading up to that destruction. From the “abomination of desolation” to the call to flee Judea, this passage comes into focus when read alongside the Roman siege of Jerusalem and the testimony of history. This isn’t just theology—it’s history unfolding exactly as Jesus said it would.
