The destruction took place during the First Jewish–Roman War, in the historic and consequential Siege of Jerusalem during 70 C.E.. The Roman army stormed the Jewish sacred city, led by the future Emperor and young fearless leader, Titus. Over a short period of time, the Roman force overpowered and out

“believers in Christ as a god.” This was their death. The “believers in Christ as a god” either forced others to believe in the concoctions of theirs or killed them bestially. For instance, the Vandals’ siege of Rome in the fifth-century - compared to the sacking of the “believers in Christ as a god” of Jerusalem in the year 1099 - was a trifle.
