Descrição:

THE BOOK OF JOB: HISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE by Gerard Gertoux

According to Josephus, Cestius Gallus (7-67) was legate of Syria from 63 CE (but in Judea from 65 CE). He marched into Judea with a force of over 30,000 men in September 66 CE in an attempt to restore order at the outset of the Great Jewish Revolt but unexpectedly he was defeated by a small Jewish army191. The Jews of Jerusalem believed they had been miraculously protected and thus they shouted “Peace and security”, in contrast, the Jewish Christians fled to Pella a town of Perea, according to Eusebius (History of the Church 3:5:3). As Jesus had prophesied (Lk 19:43-44; 21:20-24), they waited until the Roman armies destroyed the Temple of Jerusalem and without pity killed its inhabitants (in August 70 CE).
