Or - the Jewish rebellion against Rome might have been something that Paul was foreseeing in his description of ‘the man of lawlessness’; Josephus in his ‘Wars of the Jews’ describes how the Zealots ‘laughed at the laws of God’, that ‘the city should be taken and the sanctuary burnt, by right of war, when a sedition should invade the Jews, and their own hand should pollute the temple of God.’ There is more on this in www.preteristarchive.org

Just a thought - something to ponder.
