IT WAS THE FOLLOWERS OF BAAL WHO DESTROYED THE TEMPLE - AND NOT THE ROMANS!!

WHO DESTROYED THE TEMPLE? THE PEOPLES THAT WOULD LATER WORSHIP BAAL DESTROYED THE TEMPLE THE ROMAN GENERAL TITUS ACTUALLY TRIED TO SAVE THE TEMPLE "and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary."  Daniel 9:26   Most Bible scholars believe the destruction of “the city and the sanctuary” to be a reference to the destruction that occurred in 70 AD when the Roman legions under General Titus destroyed both the Jewish capital city of Jerusalem and its Temple. Many varying interpretations have been offered as to the exact meaning of this passage from Daniel chapter nine, but a common position holds that this prophecy is telling us that the specific people (or peoples) who destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD are the ancestors of the peoples who in the last days would be the primary followers of the demonic prince ("Beast") who is to come. The European Antichrist theory has no standing if the people that destroyed the temple were not from Rome. But just who were these people?  Were the soldiers who did the destroying actually true Romans from Rome, or locals under Roman leadership? They were locals!  They were mostly from Syria, Eastern Turkey, Egypt, Iraq and Moesia. The Full Article About Who Destroyed the Temple Is Here: Josephus Recorded the Siege of Jerusalem Josephus was a first-century Romano-Jewish scholar and historian, who was born in Jerusalem—then part of Roman Judea—to a father of priestly descent.  He initially fought against the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, until surrendering in 67 AD to Roman forces. Josephus was an eye witness and wrote daily about the fall of Jerusalem in amazing detail.  This is well documented in the Chronology of the War According to Josephus Part 7: The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem (March- September 70 AD).   The Jerusalem battle was conducted by four main Roman legions, the 5th, 10th, 12th and 15th.  These composition of the soldiers and auxiliaries were drawn from the surrounding countries around Israel.  These peoples are all Islamic today.  Today nearly all of these peoples worship the beast (Baal in the Kaaba) and the dragon (Satan). Roman Legion Composition Legion V Macedonia:            Judea, Syria + Moesia Legion X Fretensis:               Syria Legion XII Fulminata:            Eastern Turkey + Syria Legion XV Apollinaris:          Syria, Egypt, Iraq Josephus makes clear Titus did not want the temple or city destroyed. Titus said "he would preserve the Temple at all costs" "The Romans", Josephus says, "have done more to protect the temple than they."  By "they" Josephus means the Jewish rebels fighting the Romans. After a while, Titus tries to open the temple gates. "Now that Titus saw that his endeavor to spare a foreign Temple led only to the injury and slaughter of his troops," he orders the gates set on fire."  Josephus writes that Titus said "He would preserve the temple at all costs, even if used as a fortress, because its beauty should be preserved as a possession of Rome." Josephus then writes: "At that moment one of the soldiers, without orders 'but moved by some supernatural impulse,' snatches a burning timber from a fire and throws it through a golden door on the north side of the chambers surrounding the sanctuary." THE "PRINCE WHO IS TO COME" WAS BAAL FROM THE ABYSS The Roman soldiers that destroyed the temple were from the peoples that would eventually follow Mohammad (610 AD) and send their prayers to the beast (Baal) that dwells in the Kaaba.  The "prince who is to come" was Baal released from the Abyss. (Revelation 17:8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction.)
