Eschatology 101: Movie Time!

Above is a BBC production on the rise and fall of Rome. This actually is not attempting to detail any prophetic fulfillment, etc but is simply utilizing the historical records of Josephus as valid history. I figured eschatology can be rather dry and boring. Hopefully this hour long clip will shed some light on the validity of the preterist approach to the Olivet Discourse and the book of Revelation.

There is some colorful language in the film. There is also a significant amount of death. Mild warning.

Daniel's 70th week, the seven-year tribulation (or the Time of Jacob's Trouble) began in 66 A.D. when General Vespasian of Rome, under orders from Nero Caesar, invaded Judea. After the death of Nero, Vespasian went on to become emperor of Rome in 68 A.D.
