Matthew 24:2
Matthew 24:2: “And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
The disciples were marveling at the grandeur of the Temple, but Jesus saw into the future and foretold its utter destruction. The words of Jesus came to pass; in AD 70 the Romans destroyed it, and not one stone was left standing. (The modern Wailing Wall is actually not a part of the original Temple, but was built later.) This was done in judgment; the nation of Israel had rejected Jesus, so “all these things shall be brought upon this generation”, just as Jesus had said.
To this day the Temple has not been rebuilt, although that will happen before the end.
