With the destruction of Jerusalem, I imagine a rapture of all the Jewish Christians could have occurred and been missed by history. If not, then what happened to the Jewish Christians? And why were some angry about the idea of non-Jews becoming Christians? In Paul's speech in Acts, he talks all about his conversion and meeting the ressurected Christ without interuption, but when he mentions he has been called as a missionary to "the gentiles" everyone is ready to kill him again.

Possible. That is what the pretorist think. Some scripture seems to point to that. Its hard to think that we are waiting for something that already happened a long time ago.

Nope...
It's after the rapture that He will have His millennial reign. Between 70 - 1070 The enemy was still here on earth...
It's not happened yet.
Some of the Jews were jealous that Paul was teaching Gentiles...and the Gentiles were accepting Jesus as their Messiah.

I believe some Biblical prophecy was fulfilled in the year 70. I believe that the Fall of the Whore as described in Revelation was the Destruction of Jerusalem. But the Bible makes it clear that specific things have to happen before the Rapture can take place, and that those things haven't happened yet.

No. The rapture is a future event and it is taught in the bible as seen below.
1Th 4:16 -17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

no b/c after the rapure the 7 year tribulation period occurs (where distruction that the world could never image happens) and then the Lord comes down to earth and judges the evil men and the devil is banished into the bottomless pit and thats when the millennial reign of Christ occurs when everything will be perfect...its not so it didnt happen......just look in revelation

jewish christians are still around, most of them are just called christians. if the rapture had already occurred, then Jesus would be reigning, satan would would be gone & there would be world peace today.
plus, the rapture isn't going to happen, believers will not just disappear, there are still millions of true believers. you are believing in the wrong thing, my friend.

Yes. I believe we have been lied to by the Roman church. We are in the Age of Satans rule on the earth. The evil Church rewrote the gospels to bring money in.

if you study revelation they talk about the mark of the beast and other subject.
what was the mark of the beast in 70 AD?
I don't think they are any.
but we do now have the tech to have the "mark of the beast"
barcode, GPS to track you down, and other things.
