<p>A blow-by-blow account of the final siege of Jerusalem that ended with the complete overthrow of the Jewish people and their religion --and all of it orchestrated by God in A.D. 70.</p><p>Read about the major players in the battle, the ups and downs, the war strategies, and how it all came together in fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy: "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation thereof is near... For these are the days of vengeance..."</p><p>Using Josephus' account as his standard, and adding his own special knowledge of the topography of the area, Thomas Lewin paints a mighty portrait of the final days of the Jewish temple, and the Jews as God's chosen people.</p><p>If you're wanting to know what happened, but maybe you aren't too fond of the idea of reading through Josephus in antiquated language, then this book is for you!</p>
