Agreed.
Few people know the story of the siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD and even less know how the Christians were convinced that this was when Jesus was going to return.

The Romans entered the city and everyone was killed.
The few that survived got out first, Flavius Josephus being the most notable who then wrote about the siege.

Note to FR members....a time may come when we need to fight or flee.
It didn’t go well for Jews who stayed in Germany or Poland.

Josephus watched siege of Jerusalem from the Roman side. He was captured earlier in the area of Galilee after which he switched allegiance to Rome and acted as an advisor first to Vespasian and then to Titus.
