| 2,000-Year-Old Battle Relics Provide Evidence Of Jesus As A True Prophet Who Foretold The Last Battle Of Jerusalem (See Matthew 24:1-2)May 28, 2017 by SkyWatch Editor Archaeologists have found additional evidence of the last battle of Jerusalem from 2,000 years ago, according to the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Nature and Parks Authority. Included in the dig’s findings — funded by Elad — are arrowheads and stone ballista balls, which were discovered on “the main street that ascended from the city’s gates and the Pool of Siloam to the Temple,” according to a press release. The battle, which pitted the Romans and the Jewish rebels, was described by the historian Flavius Josephus: “On the following day the Romans, having routed the brigands from the town, set the whole on fire as far as Siloam (Josephus, Wars, Book 6:363).” The ballista stones that were exposed in the archaeological excavation are evidence of the battle of Jerusalem that was fought 2,000 years ago.
