Chapter 11 – A Literal Prophecy
the triumphal arch of Titus, where its

mutilated image is yet to be seen.

The siege of Jerusalem lasted five months. In

that siege eleven hundred thousand Jews

perished, and ninety-seven thousand were

taken prisoners. The city was so amazingly

strong that Titus exclaimed, when viewing the

ruins, “We have fought with the assistance of

God;” but it was completely leveled, and the

foundations of the temple were plowed up by

Tarentius Rufus. The duration of the whole

war was seven years, and one million four

hundred and sixty-two thousand (1,462,000)

persons are said to have fallen victims to its

awful horrors.

Thus this power performed great exploits, and

again returned to his own land.
