Jesus tells His disciples the Temple will be destroyed, which worries them, then he tells them how they will know when it’s about to happen, along with other ‘end-time’ events: Mark 13:1–23; Matthew 24:1–25; Luke 21:5–24; Mark 13:24–31; Matthew 24:26–35; Luke 21:25–33
When Jesus reduced the Temple to a pile of rubble:
Mark 13:2 Yes, look at these great buildings. But they will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!
He was saying that this:
A view of Temple at the time of Jesus, By James Tissot (1886)
Or maybe this:
A scale model of the Court of Prayer of the Temple in Jesus’ day
Or even this:
A scale model of the Royal Porch of the Temple
Would end up like this:
A pile of rubble and a retaining wall
The so-called Wailing Wall (a retaining wall from the Temple complex), that’s all that’s left:
