Hi everybody. I've been reading this forum for a while now and I must say I'm quite impressed. This forum is much more dynamic than others where everyone pretty much agrees with each other (preaching to the choir). Of course once in a while some of you come off a little less than "Christlike" in your exchanges.
I would like to hear various opinions on what the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. by the Romans was in relation to Jesus' Olivet Discourse as told in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21.
Here's some theories I've come across (please feel free to add to the list).
The Temple destruction by the Romans in 70 A.D. and the events surrounding it (leading up to it) were the complete fullfillment of Jesus' prophecy.
The Temple destruction was a partial fullfillment of the prophecy, but other events in the Olivet Discourse have yet to be fullfilled.
The Temple destruction and the events surrounding it were just a type of fullfillment, but the actual fullfillment of the prophecy is still future.
The Temple was destroyed as predicted by Jesus, but other prophecies indicate that the Temple will be rebuilt yet again and then be destroyed. Then rebuilt as the place where Jesus physically reigns on earth for 1000 years.
The Temple destruction as detailed by Josephus was a fabrication, not fullfillment. The Temple will be built and then be destroyed as Jesus predicted.
Thanking all of you for helping me on this.
