The "Third Temple" Prophecy Refuted

[Rella]

You're just jealous because you have no talents!

Lea,

A question or two for you.

Lea, we all know how you feel and believe. You have a great disdain for anyone
who disagrees with you.

I am wondering if your husband shares your same beliefs.

Does he share your pret views and also your disdain for Zionists?

And does he also fell as strongly against Jews as you do?

You seem to zero in on them but what about other religions. After all... weare only down one leg of things promised by God when Abraham had son Ishmael and God promised he would become a great nation.

If so, why dont you have him come on with his own user name and shore up your views.

Perhaps he has some actual historical confirmation other then just Josephus.

I also wonder, being a preterist,what church you attend. Is their a denomination that teaches your beliefs. There could be some interested in learning more and wouldlike to join a congregation of like minds.

[Rella]

  This is a free nation; say what you want, even though it's a pack of lies. I spent 4 years in the USN defending your right to lie, & serve any apostate religious doctrine you wanna serve.

  But I, & the others here, have the right to not believe you, which most of us don't.

@robycop3 Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your service. I stand and salute you.

Enjoy this for is means so much to me and all patriots. I posted this elsewhere but in case you missed it

And sir, I am with you on not believingher way.

Stop. Your first sentences has your ego trip in it.  I don't have disdain for anyone disagreeing with me Rella, just you and robycop3. Got it, get it, good.  I love me too!

And what do you care about my husband?  Stick to your own, if you have one.

[3 Resurrections]

I have read that the truly orthodox Hasidic Jews have complete scorn for Zionism as a whole.  The implication being that somehow Zionism is mercenary at heart, and not truly concerned with following the Torah above all things.  In other words, non-Jews who rally to the Zionist cause would receive equal scorn by Orthodox Jews for being solely concerned with material worldly possessions instead of a heart for following their preserved laws.

Anybody else reading the same thing with some sources to back this up?

lea, you're coming across as extremely angry. What's wrong?

[Rella]

You stopped defending the country a long time ago pal. You were probably in it for the benefits anyway.
 You can't fool me.
 My father was in WW2 Navy as the Japs burned/sunk their carrier and 20 or so men went into the water. He was of only a handful rescued. He had to watch his comrades be torn apart by sharks.

That's who I have respect for.  You on the other hand just want recognition for "being in the military" out loud on forums!

What's the difference? You have no humility.

You should try it. People would like you better!

You are the most miserable so and so I have ever encountered.

Dont worry about answering my question about your husband...it is certain that you dont have one.

As to WWII

My uncle was in the first paratroopers to parachute into Germany.

And my dad was in the Army.

So keep your gutless opinions to yourself.

I am done replying to yourself.

@robycop3 and all other anti - Preterists I suggest the same for you also.

If she has no one to argue against she will have no reason to post unless she and 3 resurrections want to hold hands.

 She can't stand to have her pret garbage proven false.

Edit: Please remember to do your own diligent research on doctrines/prophecies that God has given us. Make sure everything lines up with what God has revealed to you. I may be wrong and do not want anyone to believe something as not %100 true, so please do your further research of your own and let God teach you.

There is no literal physical third temple that will be built.
The third temple doctrine comes from 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

You have failed to recognize the description of a temple by Ezekiel (chapters 40-47).   

Many Christian scholars refer to Ezekiel's vision as the 3rd temple, while Jewish scholars refers to it as an allegorical representation of the Herod's temple (the 2nd temple).  In neither case does it describe any temple that existed or will exist yet many assertions of a third temple are based upon Ezekiel's temple.

On the other hand, I could be totally wrong since Christians deny the efficacy of the Old Testament except where it can be quoted to support their imaginary descriptions of the End Times.

If modern Israelis wanted to establish a center for sacrificial worship they would only need to reconstruct another Wilderness Tabernacle (see the book of Exodus), which in fact is what they've done already near the city of Eilat.  The construction is for scholarly reference as well as the tourist industry.   There is also a full size replica of the Wilderness Tabernacle in Tarpon Springs, Florida.  Christians visit the latter and Jews ignore the former.

Other assertions suggest the 1st AND 2nd temples were built in the City of David, not on the temple mount, because of the Gihon springs there (necessary for continual washing of sacrificial implements).   The temple mount has no water source as described in the books of I & II Kings.  The City of David is an extension of the old city of Jerusalem, but is presently owned by Muslims who refuse to relinquish their real estate to Jewish authorities.  Israel has no legal recourse to EMINENT DOMAIN such as is used by the United States to seize the private property of its citizens, a usurpation of the third amendment of the Constitution, btw. 

that's me, hollering from the choir loft.... 

[robycop3]

  Just as God caused modern Judah (Israel) to become re-established as a sovereign nation, with Jerusalem as its capital again, He will arrange for the temple to be built when His time comes. This is necessary for the "abomination of desolation" to be done in by the antichrist.

  Remember, the establishment of modern Israel was against all human odds, & the building of a new temple, while improbable now, will be done according to God's will. While it won't be an actual "temple of God", as JESUS won't be worshipped in it, the world will view it as such. The antichrist will set up his statue in it, & proclaim himself to be God while in it. That will be the AOD.

Read the Bible and throw your Christian novelizations in the garbage.

There will be NO temple for anti-christ to enter because Daniel predicted the desecration of the 2nd temple (it actually happened three centuries before Christ's birth) - word for word.  Jesus predicted the destruction of Herod's temple in 70AD.  Are you familiar with the predictions of Revelation 21 regarding New Jerusalem?  There will be NO NEW TEMPLE.  Read the Bible.

The anti-christ system is Roman Catholic as identified by Daniel and Revelation.  The leader of that system is the Pope as identified by Revelation and recent history.  Pope has his own temple, btw (that's why its called anti-Christ).

Christian opportunists have been bleeding money out of gullible ignorant Christians for decades without a stone or toothpick's worth of construction to show for it.  It is one of the greatest con jobs in religious history - second only to Vatican presumptions of holding religious artifacts (including the first vending machine that would dispense milk from the Virgin for a coin - one wonders how the milk was collected and preserved in the first place).

Christians, most of whom haven't read the Bible cover to cover, will buy any fake story that comes along as long as it follows the common theme of con artists.   There's a lot of money to be made in the god business and make no mistake about it.  Biblically illiterate Christians believe this nonsense because they don't study God's Word to verify it.

Are you familiar with Daniel's predictions of the Ptolemaic rulers of the Levant and their actions against the 2nd temple?

Do you know the motivations for the war of the Maccabees?  Simply put it had to do with the fact the Greeks entered the 2nd temple and desecrated it with pagan idols sacrifice and worship.  Daniel's prophecies have been criticized by many liberal scholars because it is so precise in its predictions.  What Daniel predicted came true in amazing clarity, but modern Christians are reluctant to READ and accept only comic book interpretations - suggested by the VATICAN following the Reformation.   This is one of the many reasons protestantism is in self-destruct mode these days.  Protestant Christians are in lock-step with Vatican doctrine and in many cases its liturgy as well.  The Reformation is a dead issue today mostly because today's Christians have no idea what it was about in the first place.  One of the issues was to identify Rome as the anti-Christ system and the Pope as leader of the beast.  Hello?  Ever heard that?  Probably not because modern Christians act as though stupidity is a virtue.  It isn't.

Biblically illiterate Christians have no idea what happened then because all they read is supermarket tabloid rubbish.  Such fools do not seek to educate themselves and the false shepherds that lead them aren't about to engage their flocks because they don't know either.   

The blind thus lead the blind into the ditch and thus easily accept doctrines of demons and idiotic predictions that don't have a snowball's chance in hell of being realized in fact.

  This is a free nation; say what you want, even though it's a pack of lies. I spent 4 years in the USN defending your right to lie, & serve any apostate religious doctrine you wanna serve.

  But I, & the others here, have the right to not believe you, which most of us don't.

Actually the idea of the United States being a free nation is an illusion. 

I spent SIX years in the same Navy defending the right of our fascist government to invade and murder any country it desires in defense, not of liberty, but of major corporate interests and assets.  America hasn't defended the sovereign rights of any nation since 1945.

Additionally, the 1st amendment USED TO APPLY to the government, not private corporations and entities.  As of today it doesn't apply to government either.  Consider the following;

AMENDMENT I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
- Annuled by Federal restrictions against public prayer & IRS 501.c.3. 
- Religious assembly restrictions allowed by states according to SCOTUS ruling in May 2020.
- Peaceful assembly has been disallowed or limited by local authorities to an extent that such influence is negligible. 
- Private litigation against the US government is restricted by legal precedent rather than overt law.
(Source list of legal precedent is too lengthy to publish here.)

Bottom line is that you and I wasted our time in the military - 4 years for you and 6 for me.  We didn't defend anything except the government's right of aggression.

Still not convinced?  Read the following.

“Under dictatorship, people are enslaved but they know it. Here, the politicians constantly lie to people and they become immune to these lies because they have the privilege of voting. But voting is rigged and democracy here is a gigantic profusion of lies and clever brainwashing.” - Allen Dulles, first director of CIA

America is a fascist police state and we are proud of it.  Proof positive is the man we elected as POTUS.

We as a nation have turned our collective backs upon God, reinvented our religious system to support our hedonism and licentiousness and have gone our own way without the help of heaven.

We demand health and peace from the throne of God and have earned plague death and violence instead.   We have sown the wind and are reaping the whirlwind and in the midst of the storm NOBODY calls for CONFESSION OF SIN AND REPENTANCE OF IT.

God does NOT hear the prayer of SINNERS. (John 9:31)
For prayers to be heard they MUST be preceded by confession & repentance.  (1 John 1:9)

Until and unless we recognize these two spiritual principles of prayer our petitions won't rise above the ceiling.

Do our 'spiritual' leaders call the nation to repentance?  Certainly not.  America is too exceptional for such a humble activity.  Our leaders are too concerned about the possible decrease in donations if they demand repentance.

And so we enter a period of national darkness fully persuaded of our fantasies and in complete denial of the mind and Word of God.

We shall reap what we have sown and it will be a bitter harvest.

Watch and learn, pilgrim.

Choir Loft,
I agree with you on the comic book "third temple" mindset, and the Daniel fulfillments, I don't agree with you instilling "Vatican" prophecies into the text of Revelation.

Protestants speak about "sola scripture" but do err in prophecy also.

Next, thank you for you service in the USN , but I do believe you are mixing too much church with state.

If anything, our country is now being led by a God-fearing president, and God fearing people have nothing to repent about (except maybe GW Bush who should ask for forgiveness, if you know what I mean) And president Trump is defending this country. He is NOT a war-hawk trying to change cultures through boots on the ground that cause massive wounded warriors!

When you use John 9:31 to for considering your points, I think you misunderstand the Bible there.
It's not about turning into a fascist country in politics and need of everyone to repent. It's about the unsaved being saved through repentance.

From:
Defending In-errancy


John 9:31—Does God hear the prayers of sinners?

Problem: John said here, “Now we know that God does not hear sinners.” Yet Jesus said God heard the publican who prayed, “God be merciful to me a sinner” (Luke 18:13). Does He hear sinners when they pray?

Solution: God hears sinners when they confess they are sinners and accept His forgiveness. For “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:13). Jesus promised, “the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out” (John 6:37).

However, God does not promise to answer the prayers of sinners who are not serving the true God. Jesus said, “if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He [God] hears him” (John 9:31). Even so, God’s grace exceeds His promise, and He apparently does on occasion respond to the prayer of an unsaved person as part of His overall providential plan to bring them to Himself (cf. Jonah 1:14–15). In this sense, God’s response to the prayer of the unsaved is part of the “goodness of God [that] leads you to repentance” (Rom. 2:4).

I say praying for this country and for Trump is the best course of action now.

[robycop3]

  Something you should do, Choir Left - look at God's BIG PICTURE !

  Remember, He told Jacob that A NATION & A COMPANY OF NATIONS would be descended from him. Now, old Israel and Judah were never great nations. Most of their neighbors had much-larger populations. But God said they'd be GREAT. And He also said the birthright would go to Joseph thru his sons Ephraim & Manasseh. Neither of those tribes became great or rich.

  Now, lemme say I AM NOT A "BRITISH ISRAELITE", altho I almost fell for Herbie Armstrong's hooey til the HOLY SPIRIT pointed out his heresies to me. However, we cannot ignore Britain's & the USA's role in world history. Could THEIR people be made up largely of Joseph's descendants? And who was largely responsible for the making of modern Israel ? BRITAIN. And who's been Israel's best friend ? THE USA. And what nation has the most Christian churches per capita ? The USA.

 Just something to think about!

  Sure, Britain & the USA have gone downhill as the New-Age-Liberals came to power, but there's nothing wrong for Christians to pray for God's blessing of their nation. I hope those liberals get their hats handed to them this November !

  I believe GOD caused "Desert Storm" because Saddam was trying to rebuild the city of Babylon, when God said it'd never rise again. (The "Babylon" of Rev is the city of Rome.)

Many Christian scholars refer to Ezekiel's vision as the 3rd temple, while Jewish scholars refers to it as an allegorical representation of the Herod's temple (the 2nd temple).

Classic: Spin from scholars Christian and Jewish that tells of nothing that can be confirmed or disproven.


 In neither case does it describe any temple that existed or will exist yet many assertions of a third temple are based upon Ezekiel's temple.

Very detailed description for something that never was or ever will be.   That is just odd, in and of itself.

On the other hand, I could be totally wrong since Christians deny the efficacy of the Old Testament except where it can be quoted to support their imaginary descriptions of the End Times.

Not true at all. But if one is a Christian, as in one with Jesus, the Christ at the center of their being, then it is the words of His and the writings about Him that
are at the center of our being. At least it is for me. As to OT efficacy .. not for end times at all...but definitely for historical references as to lineage and what has transpired leading  to all things New Testament....And even for proofs of certain ideas that take a certain amount of knowledge and intelligence to understand.

I do want to know what it is that you personally believe will be the end of the end of our age?

If modern Israelis wanted to establish a center for sacrificial worship they would only need to reconstruct another Wilderness Tabernacle (see the book of Exodus), which in fact is what they've done already near the city of Eilat.  The construction is for scholarly reference as well as the tourist industry.   There is also a full size replica of the Wilderness Tabernacle in Tarpon Springs, Florida.  Christians visit the latter and Jews ignore the former.

Oy, Yet another "interpretation" without reference.

There will be NO temple for anti-christ to enter because Daniel predicted the desecration of the 2nd temple (it actually happened three centuries before Christ's birth) - word for word.  Jesus predicted the destruction of Herod's temple in 70AD.  Are you familiar with the predictions of Revelation 21 regarding New Jerusalem?  There will be NO NEW TEMPLE.  Read the Bible.

We do. You simply do not understand...........

The anti-christ system is Roman Catholic as identified by Daniel and Revelation.  The leader of that system is the Pope as identified by Revelation and recent history.  Pope has his own temple, btw (that's why its called anti-Christ).

FINALLY... something we can agree on..... with out question!

Christian opportunists have been bleeding money out of gullible ignorant Christians for decades without a stone or toothpick's worth of construction to show for it.  It is one of the greatest con jobs in religious history - second only to Vatican presumptions of holding religious artifacts (including the first vending machine that would dispense milk from the Virgin for a coin - one wonders how the milk was collected and preserved in the first place).

Add into this mix the current pleading to extract money from Christians to feed those extremely old Jews in Russia and Israel who will surly die without the "Christian" to help, because their own just turns a back.  That is a major con for many years now.... obviously working as it is ongoing.

Christians, most of whom haven't read the Bible cover to cover, will buy any fake story that comes along as long as it follows the common theme of con artists.   There's a lot of money to be made in the god business and make no mistake about it.  Biblically illiterate Christians believe this nonsense because they don't study God's Word to verify it.

Are you familiar with Daniel's predictions of the Ptolemaic rulers of the Levant and their actions against the 2nd temple?

Do you know the motivations for the war of the Maccabees?  Simply put it had to do with the fact the Greeks entered the 2nd temple and desecrated it with pagan idols sacrifice and worship.


First: the Pagan symbols were there. Before the Greeks...

https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/ancient-cultures/ancient-israel/jewish-worship-pagan-symbols/?mqsc=E4114327&dk=ZE0352ZF2&utm_source=WhatCountsEmail&utm_medium=BHDDaily%20Newsletter&utm_campaign=ZE0352ZF2

So they were ripe for whatever happened.... "Beware of Greeks......" andall that .

Next: you must know that Maccabees are not in the Protestant bible,and therefore cannot and should not be in a generalized conversation about such as it is obvious no Protestant has read it within the four corners of their bible.

Why are you bringing Maccabees  into the mix. It is not in the Protestant bible, but in the Roman Catholic one. Perhaps by Jewish bible reference?

You will know this, but other reading may not....

As I understand things  the Jewish canonical Tanakh emerged after Christianity had started to spread, perhaps in reaction to it; and the Jews eventually decided to accept only those books which had Hebrew originals. This excluded some of the books that were part of the LXX (and presumably other collections of Greek translations). Presumably, that had a lot to do with establishing their identity as Jews as over against the Christians.

Now, during the Protestant reformation , the Protestant canon emerged with the Old Testament pared down to match the Jewish Tanakh. Besides removing seven books, this also meant using a different, shorter version of the Book of Daniel, as the LXX version is different from any known Hebrew revision. And the various Maccabees were removed is that they were part of the 7 books not part of Jewish canon.... therefore not part of the Protestant canon either.

Isn't it ironic that while Christians made their ‘Old Testament’ out of Jewish scripture, the end result was that the Jews established a canonical scripture that was different from that used by the Christians?

 Daniel's prophecies have been criticized by many liberal scholars because it is so precise in its predictions.  What Daniel predicted came true in amazing clarity, but modern Christians are reluctant to READ and accept only comic book interpretations - suggested by the VATICAN following the Reformation. 

Daniel and Revelation have been a mainstay in my studies ofend times.

But of course,you do not believe in endtimes , you believe the light switch will be turned off and your comic book will simply say, "That's all folks".

 This is one of the many reasons protestantism is in self-destruct mode these days.  Protestant Christians are in lock-step with Vatican doctrine and in many cases its liturgy as well. 

All religions are in self-destruct today.  Make no mistake.


The Reformation is a dead issue today mostly because today's Christians have no idea what it was about in the first place.  One of the issues was to identify Rome as the anti-Christ system and the Pope as leader of the beast. Hello?  Ever heard that?

YES....

And if you have taken any time to read any of @Amo s posts you would know what is going on and it coming to life.

Neither he nor I can help what others believe....We can just present what we know and find.


 Probably not because modern Christians act as though stupidity is a virtue.  It isn't.

Biblically illiterate Christians have no idea what happened then because all they read is supermarket tabloid rubbish.  Such fools do not seek to educate themselves and the false shepherds that lead them aren't about to engage their flocks because they don't know either.

Read your Bible. His kingdom (the age to come in the Bible) would never end.
Luke 1:31-
 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

No Pope, no "Babylon" in modern times, no nothing.

1 Peter- He wrote to the dispersed Jews in North Asia AND those who didn't return from ancient Babylon to Israel.
However, read it and weep:
In Revelation, "Babylon" was spiritually called Sodom and Egypt. Rev.11:

8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Recognize the literal in that vs. ...Was Jesus crucified in Rome?  Or simply Jerusalem?

So here is a little suggestion  with instructions for her, or anyone else I bother.

To do so you go into your Profile. On your profile you click modify buddy list/ignore list. There you can edit who you want to ignore. In this case it would be Rella.

More specifically:  To block a user you go to your own Profile, then click the
Modify Profile button, from the drop down list click Buddies/Ignore list, then
 click the Edit Ignore List tab and paste the user name into the box, again Rella,
click add and you're done!

That way I will not be bothering this woman in any manner.... and I can continue on with my observations.

Of course... should she decide not to block me, let the gloves come off ~

As Miss Bryson would say..."A word to the wise is sufficient."

  Anyone may block themselves from reading my posts any time - I don't care. However, they WILL be read by others who will believe the blocker is clueless because he/she doesn't reply to the posts which refute the blocker's doctrines.

There once was a woman who got very upset by me. Always attempting to one up me with idiotic questions and very forgetful of what she has said, that could be reposted if one wanted to take time to find and do that.... time I am not going to expend for there is far more of importance that needs worked on. Excessive bloviation is a waste of everyone's time.

By this time I am sure this woman knows who I am referencing.

She is the one who said:

Again, show us the posts, Rella, seekingHiswisdom!

You talk big for someone who's afraid of defending herself because she's afraid of the police arresting her!

I'm still laughing

Well, laugh yourself silly over this, because this IS a violation of TOS IMHO.

After you responded to Robycop with reply #62

That's why I am saved and yours is in question if you don't believe the gospel when Hebrews says He appears a second time , not to forgive sins, but to complete salvation.

To my: reply # 63

I know you were not responding to me.

Can I assume I am included in this?  The questionable end.

(no I won't be upset, I just want to get the count right under my user name.)

You replied reply # 64

That shrug is a tell.

You do question my salvation, and definitely questioned robycop's

So since you do not want to block me, as I was nice enough to instruct you how.

Bring it  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Lea simply believes in pie-in-the-sky, a doctrine she simply cannot support with history, a doctrine drawn not from Scripture, but from the garbage written by such charlatans as Preston, Gentry, Alcazar, etc.

All talk, no WALK !

Agreed.

For anything that monumental to have happened... and I am not talking about the temple destruction, most certainly there would be 1 sliver of something written, if not by an eye witness, then a son or a grandson of one.... even of talk handed down suggestive of parables or allegories....

But there is only Josephus. Who wrote only of the siege, as it were....

AND....

Publius (or Gaius) Cornelius Tacitus

c. AD 56 – c. 120) was a Roman historian and politician. Tacitus is considered by modern scholars to be one of the greatest Roman historians.[1][2] He lived in what has been called the Silver Age of Latin literature, and has a reputation for the brevity and compactness of his Latin prose, as well as for his penetrating insights into the psychology of power politics.

"The Histories
Main article: Histories (Tacitus)
In an early chapter of the Agricola, Tacitus asserts that he wishes to speak about the years of Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. In the Histories the scope has changed; Tacitus says that he will deal with the age of Nerva and Trajan at a later time. Instead, he will cover the period from the civil wars of the Year of Four Emperors and end with the despotism of the Flavians. Only the first four books and twenty-six chapters of the fifth book survive, covering the year 69 and the first part of 70. The work is believed to have continued up to the death of Domitian on September 18, 96. The fifth book contains—as a prelude to the account of Titus's suppression of the Great Jewish Revolt—a short ethnographic survey of the ancient Jews, and it is an invaluable record of Roman attitudes towards them.

( I have not found them to look into them YET!)

And also the Brittanica reporting of him

"Tacitus, in full Publius Cornelius Tacitus, or Gaius Cornelius Tacitus, (born AD 56—died c. 120), Roman orator and public official, probably the greatest historian and one of the greatest prose stylists who wrote in the Latin language. Among his works are the Germania, describing the Germanic tribes, the Historiae (Histories), concerning the Roman Empire from AD 69 to 96, and the later Annals, dealing with the empire in the period from AD 14 to 68.

Of other interesting reading....

This mentions Josephus and his instructions in " The Siege of Jerusalem in the year 70 CE was the decisive event of the First Jewish–Roman War, in which the Roman army captured the city of Jerusalem and destroyed both the city and its Temple."

Got Questions has an extremely understandable article for the newbie on What prophesies were fulfilled in 70AD

https://www.gotquestions.org/AD-70.html

So now I have foud 2 actual historians who wrote of that time.

And nothing suggests Jesus in the mix

[robycop3]

  Some say that Tacitus got some of his intel from Josephus. But plainly, the great trib will be worldwide, as Rev. 3:11 says. That trib will be the "hour of trial". it'll be even harder for Christians to survive, as they can't buy or sell normally , as they won't have "the mark", plus, all the natural disasters coming one upon another. But Jesus will return before all life on earth is destroyed, & swiftly "set things right".

  I believe the destruction of J & the temple were part of the "days of vengeance" Jesus declared against that generation of Jews in the Jerusalem area. (Note that Jews in other places weren't affected by the events of 66-70 AD.)

  But back to Tacitus. in nhis Annals, book 15, chapter 44, he wrote:

But all human efforts, all the lavish gifts of the emperor, and the propitiations of the gods, did not banish the sinister belief that the conflagration was the result of an order. Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judæa, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular. Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind.

  Some inaccuracy is found there, as Nero didn't  blame Christians, but he blamed some Romans who were dissatisfied with his rule. Nero was in Antium when the fire started, but he hastened back & even helped fight the fire as part of a bucket brigade. Soon as it was out, he worked to bring in emergency supplies.

  We must remember that, after his death, nero was vilified by many Romans, especially over his debaucheries & sexual perversions. Thus, many tales were started blaming Nero himself for the fire, accusing him of sitting around playing music while Rome burned, & of his having "Christian cookouts" in his garden while Rome burned. But while he was a bad dude, he certainly didn't dilly-dally during & immediately after the fire.

Yes.... but again... we find zero recorded historical proof of what the Prets are hanging their heads on.

Come on people... You cannot expect us to keep looking for proof for you.  Get busy.

We are waiting.
