The Early Church Fathers Held to a Timeline that Was Provided Within the Septuagint.

After the cataclysmic destruction of the temple in 70 AD by the Roman Army under Titus, and beginning in the second century, in order to establish a written record of the books lost in the destruction, the remnant Jews were committed to attempting to create a rewritten Jewish document, based largely upon the oral tradition. But the early christian church fathers saw this writing as a distinct separation from the greek septuagint and held the true purpose of the “Masoretic text” was actually to destroy the matching of the prophecies that testified to the fact that Jesus WAS the Messiah!

So most early church fathers held to the septuagint rather than the Masoretic text of scripture. The Septuagint agrees with other extr-biblical resources that claim an age of the earth and a coming of a Messiah to have been 5,500 years.

The Jews in AD 160 sought to rewrite the Septuagint (into the Masoretic Text) to deflect the fact that Jesus WAS the Messiah.

And Regarding a New Jerusalem of “another state” to come…

And in 200AD Origen reaffirms the Jews sought to change the scriptures in the Masoretic text to be different than that of the earlier Septuagint.

And in 220AD Origen contending with Celsus reaffirms the early Christians claimed the destruction of Jerusalem and the wrath of God came upon the Jews in the first century for persecuting the Christ.

And in 300AD Eusebius recounts how Christians understood the “end of days” to mean the end of the Jewish state in the destruction which ocurred in AD 70.

And in 400AD Orosius declares that Titus himself was called by God to overthrow Jerusalem in avenging the blood of Jesus Christ!
