		Despite early successes in repelling the Roman sieges, the Zealots fought amongst themselves, lacking proper leadership, discipline, training, and preparation for the battles that were to follow.

	Jerusalem (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
		The modern Jerusalem by-and-by began to be built over the immense beds of rubbish resulting from the overthrow of the ancient city; and whilst it occupies certainly the same site, there are no evidences that even the lines of its streets are now what they were in the ancient city.
		Modern Jerusalem "lies near the summit of a broad mountain-ridge, which extends without interruption from the plain of Esdraelon to a line drawn between the southern end of the Dead Sea and the southeastern corner of the Mediterranean." This high, uneven table-land is everywhere from 20 to 25 geographical miles in breadth.
		Jerusalem is first mentioned under that name in the Book of Joshua, and the Tell-el-Amarna collection of tablets includes six letters from its Amorite king to Egypt, recording the attack of the Abiri about B.C. The name is there spelt Uru-Salim ("city of peace").

	SIEGE OF JERUSALEM: Introduction
		As an artifact of late-medieval England, Siege of Jerusalem provides a remarkable document on the brutality of siege warfare that was on the minds of Englishmen in the so-called interim period of the Hundred Years' War; and it exposes as well numerous crises within the Christian Church, particularly the increasing economic uses of crusader politics.

	Crucifixion in Antiquity -The Anthropological Evidence
		in 70 CE the threat by the Romans to crucify a Jewish prisoner alone caused the Jewish garrison stationed at Machaerus to surrender in exchange for safe passage from the city (War 6:4).
		According to these sources, the condemned man never carried the complete cross, as it commonly believed; instead the crossbar was carried, while the upright was set in a permanent place where it was used for subsequent executions.
		One can therefore, reasonably assume that the scarcity of wood may have been expressed in the economics of crucifixion in that the crossbar as well as the upright would be used repeatedly.

		The idea is that with the Roman siege of Jerusalem and destruction of the Temple, New Testament prophecies were fulfilled.
		This is essential to their theory because if prophetic texts such as Revelation or II Thessalonians 2 were written after 70 AD, then they could no longer assert that prophecies concerning such things as the antichrist and the mark of the beast took place by 70 AD.
		Jesus was not prophesied to gather the Roman army for the purpose of destroying Jerusalem.

		As is typical for the art of this period, the scene is anachronistic: the figures wear armor of the 1400s, and the city of Jerusalem is a medieval walled city with battlements, wood-and-plaster houses, and even a Gothic church.
		Just as Adam and Eve were punished for disobeying God, medieval Christians believed that the destruction of Jerusalem resulted from the Jews' failure to accept Jesus as the Messiah.

		These legions had orders to encamp at the distance of six furlongs from Jerusalem, at the mount called the Mount of Olives, which lies over against the city on the east side, and is parted from it by a deep valley, interposed between them, which is named Kedron.
		And thus did the Romans get possession of this first wall, on the 15th day of the siege, which was the seventh day of the month Artemisius, when they demolished a greater part of it, as well as they did of the northern parts of the city, which had been demolished also by Cestius formerly.
		And now Titus pitched his camp within the city, at that place which was called the Camp of the Assyrians, having seized upon all that lay as far as Cedron, but took care to be out of the reach of the Jews' darts from the second wall.
