The A.V. is a little obscure. The verse may be rendered more clearly thus:

And now consider, I pray yon, from this day (the 24th day of the ninth month, on which the prophet was speaking, ver. 10 18) and upward (that is backward), from (the time when) not yet stone was laid upon stone in the temple of the Lord.

This is the other limit from which the reckoning is to be made, the time when the foundation of the temple had been laid, but no further progress in building had taken place, no "stone upon stone" had been added. It answers to the clause in ver. 18, "from the time when the temple of the Lord was founded."
