Lactantius — Divine Institutes 4.21
When he had set in order for his disciples the preaching of the gospel and of his name, a cloud suddenly wrapped around him and lifted him into heaven on the fortieth day after the passion, as Daniel had shown it would be, saying: “And behold, coming in the clouds of heaven as a son of man, and he came unto the Ancient of Days.” The disciples, scattered through the provinces, laid the foundations of the church everywhere, themselves also doing great and almost unbelievable miracles in the name of their Master, God—because as he departed he had equipped them with power and authority, so that the account of the new announcement could be founded and confirmed.
He also opened to them all things to come: which Peter and Paul preached at Rome, and that preaching has remained written in memory. In it, among many other wonders, they also said this would happen: that after a short time God would send a king who would overthrow the Jews and level their cities to the ground, and besiege them worn out by hunger and thirst. Then they would eat the bodies of their own and consume one another; at last they would come captive into the hands of enemies and see their wives most bitterly mistreated before their eyes, virgins violated and prostituted, boys carried off, little ones dashed down, everything wasted by fire and sword, captives forever driven from their lands—because they had exulted over the most beloved and approved Son of God. And so after their death, when Nero had killed them, Vespasian extinguished the name and nation of the Jews and did all that they had foretold would come.

Ordinata uero discipulis suis euangelii ac nominis sui praedicatione circumfudit se repente nubes eumque in caelum sustulit, quadragesimo post passionem die, sicut Daniel fore ostenderat dicens: et ecce in nubibus caeli ut filius hominis ueniens (et) usque ad uetustum dierum peruenit. discipuli uero per prouincias dispersi fundamenta ecclesiae ubique posuerunt facientes et ipsi in nomine magistri dei magna et paene incredibilia miracula, quia discedens instruxerat eos uirtute ac potestate, quo posset nouae adnuntiationis ratio fundari et confirmari. sed et futura illis aperuit omnia: quae Petrus et Paulus Romae praedicauerunt et ea praedicatio in memoriam scripta permansit. in qua cum multa alia mira tum etiam hoc futurum esse dixerunt, ut post breue tempus inmitteret deus regem, qui expugnaret Iudaeos et ciuitates eorum solo adaequaret, ipsos autem fame sitique confectos obsideret. tum fore ut corporibus suorum uescerentur et consumerent inuicem, postremo ut capti uenirent in manus hostium et in conspectu suo uexari acerbissime coniuges suas cernerent, uiolari ac prostitui uirgines, diripi pueros, allidi paruulos, omnia denique igni ferroque uastari, captiuos in perpetuum terris suis exterminari, eo quod exultauerint super amantissimum et probatissimum dei filium. itaque post illorum obitum, cum eos Nero interemisset, Iudaeorum nomen et gentem Vespasianus extinxit fecitque omnia quae illi futura praedixerant.
