Verse 7
7. Wars and rumours of wars The SECOND SIGN, of wars and warlike rumours, was abundantly fulfilled. At our Lord’s birth the temple of Janus was closed for the second time in history, in token of universal peace. From his death to the destruction of Jerusalem the Jewish people knew little of perfect and peaceful repose. It is not necessary to detail the long train of turbulences during the interval of forty years. But that Jerusalem was in constant terror from threatened or actual war, for a protracted period before her downfall, will abundantly appear from the history of the times.
