I have been following your thought on the importance of 70 AD in the history of salvation. Are you saying that since the church remained faithful to resist Rome, not through violence but by refusing to pick up arms with the Jewish zealots, they in effect defeated Rome? In other words, they were victorious through their faithfulness and endurance much like Jesus. From a narrative perspective, 70 AD was a moment of decision for the church. If they resisted Rome through violence they would have been defeated and the church would have perished. No church, no mission to the world, no us. If they endured, the church would reign over the kingdoms with Jesus. Is this storyline in step with what you are saying?
