260: Victorinus: Commentary on the Apocalypse “Alcasar, a Spanish Jesuit, taking a hint from Victorinus, seems to have been the first (AD 1614) to have suggested that the Apocalyptic prophecies did not extend further than to the overthrow of Paganism by Constantine.”

A Chronological Treatise Upon The Seventy Weeks of Daniel
Wherein is evidently shewn the Accomplishment of the Predicted Events, As Especially Of the Cutting Off of the Messiah after the Predicted VII Weeks and LXII Weeks, according to the Express Letter of the Prophecy, and in most exact Agreement with Ptolemy’s Canon ; So Also Of the Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, in the LXXth, or separate One Week, in the Litteral, Obvious, and Primary Sense
Printed for James Knapton (at the Crown Printer’s London)
“the Romans meant this to be a FINAL DESTRUCTION, such as was foretold in this Prophecy” // “the Messiah’s future People the Romans were to be the immediate Instruments of God’s Vengeance upon Jerusalem”
Interacts with Grotius, Hammond, Prideaux, Ptolemy’s Canon of Kings and Bishop Lloyd
“And it is hard to say what Times Christ should mean here but those two times that are mentioned in this prophecy: namely, first the time of the Messiah’s being cut off, which was to be After the 69 weeks ; and secondly the time of the single week, the week that was appointed of God for the destroying of the City, and Temple at Jerusalem, and the dissolving of the Jewish Church.” (p. 209)
“Therefore in few words, and to sum up the whole, do we read in general this Prophecy that the Messiah’s future People the Romans were to be the immediate Instruments of God’s Vengeance upon Jerusalem, when the Day, or Season of her Visitation was come for it, even the time therein determined for the destroying of the City, and Sanctuary – The matter of fact in full accomplishment evidently proves that they were accordingly the effectual Executioners of the divine displeasure against that People, and Nation.” (p 265)
“As therefore the determined Restoration of Jerusalem in the beginning of these Weeks was literally predicted, and fulfilled in the first Period of them, so no less her final Destruction in the end of them, in the accomplishment of the express Characters of the last Period of them, or the One Week, and more distinguished HALF PART of it.” (p. 260)
“Consequently, the Half Week there spoken of, can be no other than a more distinguished Half Part thereof, even of the latter Half Part, as the exact Accomplishment of its predicted Events in that Destruction of Jerusalem which was by the Romans (as it will appear hereafter) doth evidently demonstrate.” (p. xv)
CLIMAX OF THE ENTIRE BOOK: “Then all was thrown down to the Ground, excepting only a part of the western Wall, and two or three Towers reserv’d as Monuments of Victory. And the Plough was drawn over the ground on which the City and Temple had stood, to shew that the Romans meant this to be a FINAL DESTRUCTION, such as was foretold in this Prophecy ; and to shew also, and more particularly that there was not now ONE STONE left upon another, according to our blessed Saviour’s Prophecies of the City and of the Temple.” (p. 280)
WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID
Martin Anstey
“Marshall was the literary executor of Bishop Lloyd, whom he closely followed.” (Romance of Bible Chronology)
Michel de La Roche “The very learned Mr. Benjamin Marshall, Rector of Naunton in Glocestershire, has lately publissh’d three Letters in vindication of the late Bishop Lloyd’s hypothesis of Daniel’s prophecy of the seventy Weeks. One to the Rev. Mr. Lancaster, Vicar of Bowden in Cheshire ; in answer to his remarks on the said hypothesis. Another to Mr. Whiston, occasioned by his latter hypothesis of the said Weeks. The third to the Author of the Scheme of Literal Prophecy considered: Wherein are examined and refuted the said Author’s pretences for referring this prophecy of the Weeks, to the person and times of Antiochus Epiphanes : And it is proved, that the said prophecy, in its literal sense, is applicable wholly, and only to the Messias of the Christians, and the times of their Meffias.” (The Present state of the republick of letters)

I believe the consumation of the ages took place by the year 70 AD. I do believe that Jesus physically appeared sometime before or during the war between the Jews and Romans. I believe that circumstantial evidence points to the time when Titus called the unprecedented cease fire, and the time of the oracle reported by Josephus about soldiers in the clouds saying,”…Let us remove hence.” The jewish Christian church was nowhere to be found. Some point to Pella, though might that be where Christ came back and met his Church? Just because we have not found the evidence as of yet for Christ’s physical comming, doesn’t mean that his physical return has not happened. Yes all things are knew. Yes God is a spirit. I’m still not entirely convinced yet that his second return was a purely spiritual one although if he returned physically the event would still be as spiritual as it was two thousand years ago. The evidence, is almost overwhelming. I see a fulfilled Lord from A to Z. Nothing left unfinished. Even his second return. The angels in the sky. The sign of the Son of Man in the sky: (Star of Bethlehem), reported again by Josephus as a star in the shape of a sword hovering over the city. The false prophet, (Simon Magi)the antichrist, (Herod), the beast, (Nero)the resurrection of the dead in Daniel, (Mathew Ch. 57).There is much much more to coroborreate the end times fulfilled. Praise the God of the Lord Jesus.

The Great Tribulation of Matthew 24 certainly commenced at the Roman onslaught of 70, God’s wrath is, however, still continuing upon His original chosen people Israel until verses 29-31 are fulfilled, when the little flock of Luke 12:32‘s chosen ones, the amalgam of redeemed Israelites and Gentiles, are gathered to heavenly governance to fulfill God’s promise to Abraham for his seed to be a blessing to all the families of the earth.
