Jesus Prophesies

Of The

Destruction Of The Temple

The Prophecy

When Jesus went forth, with the twelve, and sat upon Mount Olives, just beyond the city's gate. And His disciples said, “Behold the wondrous city of Jerusalem! Its homes are all so beautiful! Its temples and its shrines are clothed in such magnificence!”
And Jesus said, “The city is the glory of my people, Israel, but, behold, the time will come when every stone will be cast down, no stone shall be left on top of another, and it will be a hiss and byword for the nations of the earth.”

And the disciples asked,” When will this desolation come?”
And Jesus said, “This round of human life will not be full until the armies of the conqueror will thunder at her gates, and they will enter in, and blood will flow like water through the streets. And all the precious furnishings of temple, court and palaces will be destroyed, or carried off to enrich the palaces and courts of kings.”
