22. MY question regards this comment :
"In 1772, Edward Gibbons published "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," in which he cites early documents suggesting the Christian disciples of the first century were taught that Jesus would return after 2,000 years. We'll soon find out if they were right. "

WHAT part of Gibbon's Roman History cites WHICH documents which were used by 1st century 'christians' that said Jesus would return in 2000 years ? ...

Gibbon's histories are masterful .. I have read and re-read and re-read them .... I know of no such quote ....

Can someone direct me to THAT citation ? ..
