EXAMPLES. * The No. 87. DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM. deftruction of Jerufalem by Nebuchadnezzar has been noticed in the 12th question. In the year 536 B. C. Cyrus king of Perfia publifhed the famous edict which permitted the return of the Jews to Jerufalem. This edict is fuppofed to have been obtained by the earnest folicitations of Daniel, who enjoyed great credit and authority at court. Cyrus had been mentioned by Isaiah + 200 years before his birth, as the perfon appointed by God for the deliverer of the captive Jews, by ordering the rebuilding of their temple, and their own reftoration to Jerufalem and Judea. Shortly after the emission of this edict, the Jews departed, and began to rebuild their temple and city. After having completed thefe important undertakings, and fuftained, various difafters from the Egyptians, Syrians, and Romans, Jerufalem was at length finally destroyed by the latter people under TITUS, the fon of Vefpafian, who not only levelled the buildings to the ground, but even entirely razed the city with the piough; fo that, in conformity to our Saviour's prediction, not one ftone remained upon another. The numbers who perished in this fiege amounted, according to Jofephus the Jewish hiftorian, to above 1,000,000, and the captives to almoft 100,000. The temporal fate of the Jews ended with their city; immediately after the fubverfion of which, the wretched fur * Ezra, chap. i. + Ifaiah xliv. 28. chap. xlv. 1 and 13. Matt. xxiv. 2. Luke xix. 41-44. chap. xxi. 6 and 24. vivors were banifhed, fold, and difperfed into all parts of the world, where they continue to this day a "ftanding miracle" in favour of the truth of our holy religion. This event occurred A. D. 70; how long is that ago, this prefent year 1810? Anf. 1740 years. N. B. TITUS, fays Jofephus, feeing Jerufalem lie in ruinous heaps and rubbish, and reflecting on its former beauty, riches, and glory, could not forbear weeping, and curfing the obstinacy of the feditious Jews, who had forced him, againft his inclination, to destroy fo magnificent a city, and fuch a glorious temple, as was not to be paralleled in all the world." It has been faid of Titus, that he was truly the father of his people; for though Rome fuffered various calamities during his reign, yet fuch was his equitable and mild adminiftration, that he conftantly preferved his popularity, and continued to his death (which happened A. D. 81) The delight of men ! Very different were his predeceffors, TIBERIUS, CALIGULA, CLAUDIUS, NERO, VITELLIUS Imperial monsters all.
