HOW DO WE DATE ANCIENT DOCUMENTS?
Are they dated? When do other authors refer to the works? What works do they appear to borrow
from?
What historical events do the authors
appear to be aware of?
Key Events:
The Jewish War 66-70 CE The Fall of Jerusalem 70 CE
24 As Jesus came out of the temple and was going away, his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the
- temple. 2 Then he asked them,
“You see all these, do you not? Truly I tell you, not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.”
15 “So when you see the
desolating sacrilege standing in the holy place, as was spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand),16 then those in Judea must flee to the mountains; 13 As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!” 2 Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.”
14 “But when you see the
desolating sacrilege set up where it ought not to be (let the reader understand), then those in Judea must flee to the mountains.

For there will be great distress on the earth and wrath against this people; 24 they will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken away as captives among all nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
