Matthew 24:2

Matthew 24:2. All these things? Mark 13:2: ‘these great buildings.'

Verily I say unto you, etc. This prophecy was uttered in a time of profound peace, when the possibility of the destruction of such a magnificent work of art and sanctuary of religion seemed very unlikely; but was literally fulfilled forty years afterwards; and that, too, in express violation of the orders of Titus, who wished to save it.
