Jerusalem’s destruction in 70 A.D.—fulfilling prophecy and ending the age of law.
What is
Destruction (Siege, Fall) of Jerusalem
The Fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. was the destruction of the Jewish temple and city by Rome. TGNN teaches this event fulfilled Jesus’ prophecies and marked the end of the old covenant age.
ExplanationIn 70 A.D., Roman armies destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Temple, just as Jesus foretold (Matthew 24:1–2). TGNN sees this as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy—not just a historical tragedy, but the divine conclusion of Israel’s covenantal role in God’s redemptive plan.This event brought the age of material religion to a close: no more temple, priesthood, or sacrificial system. It confirmed Christ’s return and the full implementation of the New Covenant. With it, the old world passed away, and a new spiritual reality began.The Fall of Jerusalem is central to the Fulfilled Perspective and redefines how we read eschatological passages today.
