This day in history, August 29

On this day in 1877 Brigham Young, famous leader of the Mormon Church, passed away. Young would become a legend for his polygamy and his leadership in bringing the Mormons to the Salt Lake valley to live.

On this day in AD 70 the city of Jerusalem fell to the Romans. It would mark the end of an era when the Jews would have a temple in Jerusalem. The temple has never been rebuilt and most likely never will be even though some evangelicals would like to see it rebuilt. The rebuilding of the temple fits in with their eschatological schemes, so they want to help God out with this project.
