THE ARCH OF TITUS AND THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM
Every ancient ruin has a story to tell. Now most guide books give this structure behind me a couple of sentences. Something like "Arch of Titus, completed in 81 AD by Emperor Domitian". Not much reason to stick around and look at it for more than 20 seconds or so and then its on to the Colosseum. But the Arch of Titus has a tremendous story to tell -- the consequences of which are felt deeply even today.
The arch is named after the Roman emperor Titus, who ruled from 79 to 81 A.D., but the fact is Titus never actually saw it completed in all its glory. It was finished after his death in order to appease the Roman citizens who pretty much hated his successor, Domitian. Now Domitian not only completed and dedicated the Arch, but he was also Titus' brother.
Titus was the son of Roman emperor Vespasian, a power-hungry but savvy political military leader and politician who stepped into the power void after Roman Emperor Nero committed suicide in 68 A.D. Now Vespasian's original military assignment was to put down a Jewish rebellion in the Roman province of Judea. Vespasian's "middle east peace plan" basically consisted of crushing the Jewish rebellion under the iron fist of the Roman military. In fact, Vespasian was so successful at this assignment, that they named him emperor at the end of 69 A.D., before the job was even completed in Judea.
When Vespasian departed for Rome, he appointed his favorite military general to finish the job -- his son Titus. And finish the job is exactly what he did, in an unusually brutal and bloody way. Titus systematically conquered the all the remaining Jewish cities of Judea, slaughtering and enslaving hundreds of thousands of Jews. Then he turned his attention to the crown jewel of the Jewish nation, the city of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem had swelled far beyond its normal population. In addition to refugees looking for safety behind the city walls, large numbers of pilgrims had arrived to celebrate the Jewish Passover.
Titus set the city of Jerusalem under total siege, preventing any food from going in and any Jews from coming out. And when starvation had done its work against the defenders of the city, Titus set four legions of hardened Roman soldiers against the city. Anyone caught trying to escape would be crucified in full view of the city - often hundreds at a time.
The Jews were completely surrounded, trapped in their own city, forced to prepare for a battle they couldn't possibly win -- with soldiers debilitated with hunger. The starvation was so severe that a Jewish historian named Josephus, who was on hand during the siege, wrote that wrote that some Jews even resorted to cannibalism just to stay alive.
The destruction of Jerusalem by Roman general Titus was one of history's most intense and merciless attacks. His legions began by catapulting huge boulders into the city providing cover for the Roman soldiers to begin bashing the northern wall with huge battering rams. Meanwhile, the Romans had built siege towers that enabled legionaries to attack the defenders from a higher position. After two weeks of fighting, the outer wall collapsed. But the Jewish forces were able to retreat to a second wall. But this time, it only took the battering rams 5 days to breach it. Then the Romans reached the final pocket of Jewish resistance - the Jewish Temple.
I was in the U.S. Navy in 1978. I spent 3 days walking around Rome and during that time came upon this Arch of Titus. I was not a believer at that time but I remember seeing the carvings of the things The Romans brought back from Jerusalem and took pictures. Just more proof The Word of God and the reality of God's Temple in Jerusalem on The Temple Mount is true. Praise God and pray for His soon return.
What soon return? I am here already and I am He who is the all. When you know the wisdom of John the Baptist then you know the you are the Son of The Almighty God. I am Michael John Guipo I am He Who is Elijah and I am He who is Jesus Christ and I am He the Holy Ghost and I am He the Lord of Host. Gui - In Chinese White Clouds and Ghost and Po - in Hebrew is Here. My Father is Titus Diomedes Guipo and My Son is James Matthew Guipo. Look for my son James because Heaven and Earth is Made because of Him. Love God above all which is You who is God You who is the Temple of God You Who is the Hand of God You who is the Son of God and Take care and love your neighbors even of indifference of beliefs and status when you can do that you will know that heaven is already at hand on Earth with love joy and peace. You are Jesus Christ you are the Second Coming believe Me.
Not long now all prophecy in the bible is being fulfilled....speak to those who know their bibles and are preaching door to door for over a hundred years now!
The common objection to Jesus prophecy about the destruction of the temple is that the gospels were written after 70 AD so they could have easily written Jesus words after the temple was destroyed.
God bless Drive through History team!
Watched the full episode tonight at church. This part about the arch surprised me as I knew nothing about it. Very interesting!
Definitely consistent with everything Jesus talked about in Matt 24, Mark 14 and Luke 21. It’s nice to see preterism affirmed with such an accurate historical presentation. Good job!
There is still much to play out....
Not preterism. Even Jacob in the Bronze Age in Egypt spoke of the Messiah coming from the line of Judah, and an actual Hebrew nation that will last UNTIL the Messiah comes. And in the Messiah will the nations (Gentiles) obey.
Isaiah spoke of this, so too did Daniel and Ezekiel.
Well you don't have to watch it if you disagree with his view,I think it was well put together and looking for more so I don't have to read so much.Thank you .
Loved to hear John Rhys-Davies as the narrator of the Bible verses in this episode. ❤ This was the OG Dave Stotts
It's destruction was the fulfillment of prophecy.
Although I felt some of your words or expressions didn’t show the sadness and sensitivity that I feel about the destruction of Jerusalem & THE Temple, I did LIKE this video very much. God is a just God. He leaves a witness.
Acts 17:16-31 KJV
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean. (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof
he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Too bad for him Jupiter and Mars had the last word
Thank you for posting the video. I learn so much watching the videos and from the show. :)
8:11 "...this arch he left behind us is more valuable than dozens of modern history books." The artistic and historical authenticity led Israel to copy the image of the Menorah for its official state and government emblems. Imagine your enemy created something for propaganda, to celebrate your loss, death and destruction, then you look at it and you go "You know what? That's actually not bad. Can I have it?"
Please read Caesar Messiah by Joseph Atwill. It will blow your mind!! Love.
Those jews in revolt were not supporters of Jesus. Yes Titus was savage but he also continually offered them the chance to surrender. That Temple, destroyed by soldiers, not him, was not a holy site in truth. Titus was essentially murdered by the vicious Domitian. Titus had been attacked by Domitian in many many previous lives (with different names naturally). Titus's regret was that he didnt put his brother to death as he had been urged to do.
previous lives? how is that history tracked? what a peculiar thing to say in a fundementalist channel.
The Jews said, of their part in Jesus Christ's murder: Let His blood be on us and our children and so it was.
You are so right! They said it and God heard it and He honored it. It also shows how bad they wanted Christ killed.Their hatred for Him is forever recorded.

You did good son
That is True because the Colosseum of Ancient Rome was built from Emperor Vespasian
So where were the Palestinian Arabs?
Why did they think gold was between the stones?
Pockets MacCartney
Apparently because gold melted and ran down through the stones when the temple was on fire. The Roman soldiers dismantled the temple stone by stone to get all the gold, thus fulfilling Jesus prophecy!
Interesting to note that while the state that Titus boasted of destroying-that's what this arch is about-was re-born in 1948,the empire that Titus led no longer does.It DIED in 476 (or 1453) CE.So...maybe the Jews had the last laugh on Titus after all.
Laine Frajberg Christianity is JEWISH religion so they did.
On the last day of Passover the Jews ran out of lambs to sacrifice and then the Roman’s burned it to the ground
Why doesn't Israel get that gold minora back from roam
Jesus warned them tribulation like never before it is done preterism is correct
There is tribulation and then there is the 7 year Tribulation which is still to come.
Jesus warned the Christians to flee. Don't look back, even to take their clothes. I reckon that happened just before this video narrative when General Gallus attacked Jerusalem but withdrew - and for a short while the self imposed seige was lifted as the Jew celebrated.
It wasn't Jesus it was Josephus prophet of God. "Since it pleaseth thee, who hast created the Jewish nation, to depress the same, and since all their good fortune is gone over to the Romans, and since thou hast made choice of this soul of mine to foretell what is to come to pass hereafter, I willingly give them my hands

Rome did nothing wrong. Change my mind.
I can't argue with that.
We know all the gospel were written before 70 AD..
but people don't like facts
The Christians took the warning Jesus gave them.
Unfortunately the Gospels were written after 70 CE, but Paul's writings were written before the Fall from 49 to 62 CE
@@HoraceDobson We know that Luke’s Gospel was Paul’s account which was written after 70 AD. Did Paul mention in his letters about the destruction of the temple?
nicely done. real nice. thanx. now stop eating so much italian food. developing that big tire around the waist
Titus was not the son of the emperor.
+Sushi He was the son of Vespasian, Roman emperor. This video sucks though- typical Christian propaganda
deanosumo I wish they would do a thorough documentary on Arrius Calpurnius Piso... The Legionaries of Piso and how they started all of the "Christian Propaganda" and how they made up the Jesus Christ Myth... As well as talk about Arrius Calpurnius Piso (Titus Flavius Josephus) (Yosef Ben Mathiyahu) and how it was him, his 2 sons and Pliny the Younger wrote the entire New Testament... #TheEndOfChristianity #IndoctrinationStopsHere #ChurchOfThePisoFamily

Yes he was
Jesus is not real and neither is Santa.
jesus is real you have to repent
No-one will do archaeological digs for Santa. But they do for Israel, and slowly the things of the bible have come to light - the house of David, Hezekiah, Isaiah, Nazareth, domestic camels and such that academics once said never existed.

I just wish I was standing beside you to see the look on your face when you look up and actually SEE HIM DESCENDING OUT OF THE SKY IN ALL HIS RADIANT BEAUTY. I would just like to stare right at you when HE IS VISIBLE IN THE SKY AND COMING TOWARD THIS EARTH. HE WILL CONVINCE YOU HOW REAL HE IS, not me and nobody else.
