## Resource

Why does the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 matter for how Christians understand the Great Tribulation? In this episode of The Based Boomer Podcast, Mike D’Virgilio examines the fall of Jerusalem, the destruction of the temple, and the horrific Roman siege that brought an end to the Old Covenant age. Drawing from Scripture and historical accounts, Mike explores the events surrounding A.D. 70 and their connection to Jesus’ warnings in Matthew 24. Was the Great Tribulation a worldwide event still waiting in our future—or was Jesus describing the catastrophic judgment that would fall upon Jerusalem within that generation? Mike makes the case that understanding A.D. 70 changes the way we read biblical prophecy, the Olivet Discourse, and the advance of Christ’s kingdom in history.
