Did Jesus predict events that would happen within a single generation? In this episode, Jay Rogers traces the remarkable 40-year timeline connecting the ministry of Jesus, the rise of the apostles, Nero's persecution of Christians, the writing of Revelation, and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.
