Jesus didn’t give His disciples a casual prophecy. His words hit them like thunder: wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, and famines—all signs they would experience with their own eyes, ears, and trembling hearts. He was shaking them awake, warning them of a future that would upend everything they knew, a future they would live to see

The destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 was not just the end of an era; it was the severing of the old covenant, the final 'divorce' of a harlot bride. And yet, in that moment of devastation, the Church stood, cradled in the hands of the Holy Spirit, ready to grow and become the radiant bride Christ would one day return for.

The manifest testimony of Scripture and history is that the first century Christians faced a proliferation of false messiahs and anti christs, who were the architects of the bloody uprisings, rebellions, and insurrections, which ultimately provoked Rome into all-out war. Jesus, in His perfection and wisdom, not only called it, but He accurately prophesied the very engine that God would use to fuel the Roman’s battering rams: The rise of false messiahs.

The destruction of Jerusalem wasn’t just a historical event—it was a divine judgment against an apostate nation, marking the end of the Old Covenant and the dawn of Christ’s New Covenant Kingdom.

Instead of approaching Revelation from the deluded posture of the futurists, we will see how this book is not a psychedelic vision of our twenty-first century present, but a visionary depiction of the end of the Old Covenant that occurred nearly two thousand years ago in Jerusalem’s past.
