Bible Question: MATTHEW 24 1-10, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS TALKING ABOUT |
Bible Answer: This is a prophecy of the temple in the city of Jerusalem that was destroyed. this verse is known as the Olivet Discourse. The actual destruction was fulfilled in 70 AD when the Roman Army under Titus destroyed the city of Jerusalem. The city was burned and the fires were so hot that the gold in the temple melted and flowed into every crack and crevice on the blocks of the temple and in order for the soldiers to get the precious metal they ( the soldiers) took evry stone and moved it or cast it away from the original site. Jesus' prophecy was fulfilled. Matter of fact some of the original stones of the temple are now in the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. Hope this answers your question. God is good. |
