The Temple Destroyed As Foretold By Christ
During the last days of his life, Jesus assembled his disciples together on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Temple Mount. The disciples opened the conversation by talking about the beauty of the Temple and it’s Courts. Jesus opened His amazing and detailed reply by predicting the soon coming destruction of the temple.
‘Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. “Do you see these things?” he asked. “I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” Matthew 24:1-2
This prophecy was fulfilled literally in A.D. 70 When the Romans under the leadership of Titus destroyed the temple. Christ’s words were fulfilled just as he said it would happen. Fullfilled prophecy validates God’s word as truth. Today, you and I can be confident that what His word promises for us is totally reliable for our lives!
The following photos were taken on the west side of the Temple Mount and these stones were pushed off of the Temple Mount crushing the street below. This street level is at the same level as it was at the time of Jesus. Please click on the pictures to enlarge.
