"...The finds from Khirbat Qumran show that it was originally built as a Judean fortress at some time between the ninth and seventh centuries BC; that it had been fortified for the last time a century or so before Christ and finally destroyed, perhaps by an earthquake, after a siege in which some of the building walls had been sapped. Roman arrowheads found in the ashes suggest that this sack of Qumran took place during the Jewish rebellion of AD 66-70 as the legions had traveled down the western shore of the Dead Sea." - John Romer,
Testament

Maps are interesting, unfortunately many of them are of poor resolution and
are difficult to read.
Is there any way to improve on them? [photoshop]

This siege was foretold by Jesus and the apostles throughout the new
testament, see Matthew 24
It marked the end of the Jewish nation and economy with all of its customs
and rituals. Only a "remnant" was saved that were told to leave the city
when they saw certain signs of Jesus" coming.
Those who look for the restoring of the temple in Jerusalem will forever
look in vain, for His "coming" is a historical fact.

Not so, as It is quite clear in the scriptures that the Temple will be
restored in the last days as the anti christ will take seat there during the
middle part of the 7 year false peace covenant

la desobediencia y el falso orgullo llevaron a este gran pueblo al desastre
en reiteradas ocasiones .
el amor de nuestro señor Jesucristo estuvo siempre para con su pueblo Israel
y este no dejo de darle la espalda tanto en el 33 como en otras épocas
cuando yahve los guiaba día y noche.
los pueblos que se ensañaron con los israelitas tuvieron éxito porque Dios
se los permitió mas es vana la gloria de estos ya que el señor como escrito
esta jamas olvidara a su pueblo y cuando se vuelva a efectuar un sacrificio
en justicia EL QUE ES volverá y no habrá mas llanto en Israel y sus rodillas
se doblaran y alabaran a DIOS.

In my Revelation's Bible study groups, I used your material as one of the
three vital elements in establishing my base. The shift of paradigm has been
easier. Thank you, edgar
