As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Luke 21: 6
Jesus was prophesying the forthcoming destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem which did occur in 70 AD.
But why it was destroyed to the extent Jesus mentioned in Mathew 24:2.
The wonder and delights of this world will pass away.
When Apostles praised the beauty of Jerusalem temple, Jesus told them this verses.
When He comes to judge the world, He will redeem all that are His from their troubles. So the divine judgement came upon Jews, that their city was set as an example before us, to show
that sins would not pass unpunished.
The wrath of the Lord and His warning against sinners, would all come to pass.Just as His anger came upon Jerusalem.
The most beautiful human body soon would be food for worms and the most magnificent building a ruinous heap. See you not all these things?
It will do us good to see through, and the end of them. Titus the Roman Emperor taking
Jerusalem for about 40 Years. He commanded his soldiers to spare the temple when they enter the city. But they in their rage blow of it and a general of his army went and drew a plough over it as God had said in
Micah 3:12. ‘Zion shall be ploughed like a field’.
Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, and the temple mount a wooden ridge.
We are weary to be taken with glistering prosperity of the sinners, but we ought to
remember what happened to the majestic temple of Jerusalem. There are no places in the world so strong.
But the Almighty God is in control of everything on this earth and HE is
powerful enough to blow up anything.
We may also observe how little God values splendid houses of prayer when they are made of dens of thieves.
A major fire engulfed the medieval Cathedral of Notre-dame de Paris. The cathedral that was one of France’s famous 850 year old landmark and a pride of the of the idolatrous Roman Catholic Church was completely destroyed on April 15th 2019.
This is a confirmation that God’s will be done on earth. He knows everything and will act as per His timings.
Father God, give us grace not to depend on worldly things, positions, rewards and money
and power. Abba Father we want to depend you only not on the worldly things we need
Your grace to walk in light. Help us to have a close relationship with You . We pray in Jesus name.
