Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
Matthew 24:1-2
The sight of the temple at Jerusalem was one of the more outstanding sights in the ancient world. It was built of white marble and plated with gold. It shone in the sunlight so that a person could hardly look at it. For the pilgrim to Jerusalem, to come to Mount Zion was an impressive call to reverence and worship. Some of the temple's large supporting stones were forty feet in length and weighed one hundred tons. The cutting and moving of these colossal stones remains a mystery of ancient engineering
But Jesus predicted its complete destruction, The new temple of "living stones" was yet to come. The people of God would be the temple of His presence, no matter where they met.
