Sulpicus Severus 4th Century Christian Historian:
“Jerusalem was taken by Titus, after it had been besieged for two years… It is said that the Christians, forewarned by the predictions of Christ, removed from the city before its destruction.”
Eusebius of Caesarea 4th-century church historian:
“The whole body, however, of the church at Jerusalem, having been commanded by a divine revelation, given to men of approved piety there before the war, removed from the city, and dwelt at a certain town beyond the Jordan, called Pella. Here, those that believed in Christ, having removed from Jerusalem, as if holy men had entirely abandoned the royal city itself, and the whole land of Judea; the Jews being left alone to suffer the judgment of God, for the many crimes they had committed against Christ and his apostles, the divine vengeance at length overtook them.”
