The pagan historian Tacitus also mentions this event: “In the sky appeared a vision of armies in conflict, of glittering armour.”
This supernatural phenomenon also did not escape the notice of the medieval Jewish historian Sepher Yosippon who expounds upon this angelic army in the sky of A.D. 66 by saying, “Moreover, in those days were seen chariots of fire and horsemen, a great force flying across the sky near to the ground coming against Jerusalem and all the land of Judah.”

In the Bible, all the world generally means all of the Israel Nation.
