course, would have ceased. But Jerusalem would have been
spared; and the temple would still have stood, to become
the center of the still more glorious service of the gospel.
For only one thing was needed -- compliance with God's
purposes, obedience to the divine will -- to cause that nation
to continue, and Jerusalem to stand as the metropolis
and praise of the whole earth. Jer. 17:24-27. But they did
not recognize the day of their visitation; they did not
know the things which belonged to their peace; and they
were consequently sadly hidden from their eyes. Luke 19:41-

In the purpose of God, the services of this worldly sanctuary
were now at an end. And when, amid the startling
scenes, the darkness and the earthquake, that attended the
crucifixion of the Son of God, unseen hands violently rent
in twain the magnificent vail that hung before the holy of
holies, it was the solemn signal that its services had

flames at once sprang up. No power could then save it. The
flames leveled it with the ground; and Torentius Rufus
drove his plowshare over the spot where the temple had once
stood. p. 85, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
The date of this destruction, in A.D. 70, falls upon the
same month and the same day of the month, as the destruction
of Solomon's temple by Nebuchadnezzar, six hundred and
fifty-eight years before, B.C. 588. p. 85, Para. 2, [LOOK-
