Luke

The Kingdom Come · Jerusalem Fallen · This Generation

Luke writes as a historian and theologian. His Gospel is the story of the Kingdom arriving and the old order ending.

This account assumes the reader knows what happened in AD 70. Luke traces the path from Jesus weeping over Jerusalem to the city's destruction within that generation.
