The Judgment of the Nations in AD 70 One of the most common objections to Covenant Eschatology is that the fall of Jerusalem was far too local of an event to qualify for the end of the age. In several public debates my opponents have offered this argument, claiming for instance, “Why would the citizens of Athens, or Rome, or…
