Jesus’ Prediction Fulfilled History… Josephus Flavius 66 A.D. the Jews rebelled against Roman rule. 70 A.D., after a 143 day siege which began at Passover, a Roman military force consisting of about 30,000 troops under the command of Titus destroyed everything, including Herod's Temple. (Masada, 73 A.D.) an estimated 600,000 people killed.
Jesus’ Personal Fulfillment John 2:19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
