The Jewish state, after an existence of thirteen centuries, was annihilated, and was not restored until In the fall of Jerusalem, few if any Christians perished.

From the prophetic utterances of Christ the Christians received warning, escaped from the doomed city, and found refuge at Pella, in the Jordan valley.
