How many Biblical prophesies were fulfilled by the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 A.D.?

Question

In prophetic texts such as Ezekiel, Daniel, Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 4-5, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation, how many of the future predictions were fulfilled in A.D. 70?

Remember that A.D. 70 was "the future" to the Biblical writers (though Revelation may have been written after this).

Any Preterists out there?

Answer 1

Matthew 24:1-2 Destruction of the temple
Luke 19:43 Surrounded by fortification of pointed stakes
children not spared
Luke 21: 20 Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies
Luke 21:21 Christians flee to the mountains
Luke 21:23 Large scale slaughter
Luke 21:24 Jerusalem trampled by nations until end of gentile times

Answer 2

Ezekiel chapter 4 was certainly fulfilled in AD 70. Jesus' reiterated that prophecy. Now, whether or not you consider a reiteration of a prophecy or a reference to one already given as a new prophecy is certainly a matter of choice. I won't try to establish a method of counting. But the prophecy clearly involved the destruction of the pride of Jerusalem--the temple. Interestingly, Ezekiel 4's prophecy had a dual fulfillment: First, for the sin of Israel (the northern kingdom) Solomon's temple was destroyed; Second, for the sin of Judah (the southern kingdom) the rebuilt temple was destroyed.

Here are some relevant texts:

Isaiah 64:11 "Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste."

Ezekiel 4:7 "Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the seige of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it." (Whole chapter and beyond is about Jerusalem.)

Matthew 24:1-2 "And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

Answer 3

1.. the distruction of the temple. I guess the preterist forgot the revived roman empire (Daniel), Israel became a nations (Ezekiel),etc
\ I believe in a millenial kingdom. Pretrib.
That's a good question for the preterist.

Answer 4

None...the Wall still stands.
And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
