Luke 21:6

As for these things which ye behold] Rather, these things which ye are gazing on (it is what is called the -pendent nominative").

there shall not be left one stone upon another See on Luke 19:44 and the remarkable passage in 2Es 10:54, "in the place where the Highest beginneth to shew Hiscity, there can no man's building be able to stand." This was fulfilled in spite of the strong wish of Titus to spare the Temple, Jos. B. J.vi. 4, § 5; but see on Luke 19:44. He was himself so amazed at the massive substructures that he could only see in his conquest the hand of God (id. vi. 9, § 1). This prophecy was in reality that "Let us depart hence" which Josephus (B. J.vi. 5, § 3) and Tacitus (Hist.v. 13) tell us was uttered by a mysterious Voice before the destruction of Jerusalem.
