Definition
A.D. 70 refers to the year in which the Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Temple.
Context
In the Yeshuan framework, this event marks the culmination of covenantal judgment described in the New Testament. Jesus’ references to the destruction of the temple and the end of the age are understood as referring to this historical moment.
The fall of Jerusalem ended the sacrificial system and temple-centered worship that defined the Old Covenant order. If apostolic prophecy pointed toward this event, then A.D. 70 represents the transition between ages.
Implications
The significance of A.D. 70 is theological rather than merely historical. It marks the end of covenantal law, temple mediation, and institutional structures that claimed divine authority. The Next Age begins from this transition.
This interpretation reframes Christian expectation away from future apocalyptic fulfillment.
Common Misunderstanding
Some assume this view denies a future hope or spiritual reality. It does not eliminate hope. It situates fulfillment in history rather than postponing it indefinitely.
