(On the
Significance of A.D.70) "The holy city has been captured and recaptured many times by contending forces. In several of the sieges it has been partially ruined, but in at least four it has been practically destroyed, the first about 1,400 B.C., when captured by the tribes of Judah and Simeon; the second in 586 by Nebuchadnezzar ; the third in 170 B.C by Antiochus Epiphanes ; the fourth, and doubtless most terrible, in 70 A.D., by Titus.."

"Have Automobiles and Airships Been the Subject of Bible Prophecy?
Nahum 2:4 has been quoted as referring to automobiles, but this appears to strain the meaning of the passage, which was written as a direct prophecy of the destruction of Nineveh. The verse describes the mad rush of those in chariots to escape the enemy. Isa. 60:8 has been thought by some to be a reference to the coming use of airships, but here again the direct meaning is obvious, that in the time of Judah's prosperity ships shall flock to her shores as doves to the windows of their dovecotes. Hab.
1:8 might be thought to presage manflight, but the figure is used to express the terrific haste with which the Chaldeans shall come against Judea." (#161)
