A CITY CONDEMNED - Conclusion

 Jesus' words evidently puzzled his disciples. Two days later, on viewing Jerusalem's temple, one of them exclaimed: "Teacher, see!  what wonderful stones and buildings!" Indeed, some temple stones were reportedly over 11 meters (36 ft) long, 5 meters (16 ft) wide, and 3 meters (10 ft) high! Yet, Jesus replied:  "As for these things that you now see, the days will come when not a stone will be left upon a tone and not be thrown down." - MARK 13:1; LUKE 21:6.

Jesus further told them: "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near. Then let those in Judea begin fleeing to the mountains, let those in the midst of her leave, and let those in the countryside not enter into her." (Luke 21:20, 21) Did Jesus' words come true?
