Review at 1000 AD
By this time, the Jews had been without a homeland for
nearly a thousand years.
Yet they continued to exist as a people, scattered
though they were, not being assimilated into the
surrounding nations.
They had followed false Messiahs on at least two
occasions, during the revolts against Rome.
They are without king or prince, sacrifice or sacred
stone, ephod or idols, since about 70 AD, and with no
sign they would return to their land.
