Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple

Luke 21

5 And as some were saying of the temple that it was decorated with handsome (shapely and magnificent) stones and consecrated offerings [ 1 laid up to be kept], He said, 6 As for all this that you [thoughtfully] look at, the time will come when there shall not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down. 7 And they asked Him, Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when this is about to occur? 8 And He said, Be on your guard and be careful that you are not led astray; for many will come in My name [ 2 appropriating to themselves the name Messiah which belongs to Me], saying, I am He! and, The time is at hand! Do not go out after them. 9 And when you hear of wars and insurrections (disturbances, disorder, and confusion), do not become alarmed and panic-stricken and terrified; for all this must take place first, but the end will not [come] immediately.
