Sword-like star hovers over Jerusalem, bright light engulfs the temple

March 20, 66 A.D.  Jerusalem

During the feast of unleavened bread on March 20th in 66 A.D. (8th day of Nisan), when Jerusalem swelled with large numbers of worshipers, historian Josephus reports that the temple was suddenly illuminated and enveloped by a magnificent light  (Ezekiel 10:4). So great was this light, that it appeared to be day time at the ninth hour of the night (i.e., 20:00). This light continued in its brightness for half an hour. In approximately the same time period, a star resembling a sword hovered over the city, as well as "a comet, that continued a whole year"  (1 Chronicles 21:16). These signs were interpreted by sacred scribes as a bad omen for the nation.
