And Jesus said unto them,
See you not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
All Commentaries on Matthew 24:2 Go To Matthew 24
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
The magnificent splendor of the temple’s design was shown to Christ immediately after he had warned of Jerusalem’s desolation, as though to move him. Yet he said that everything had to be destroyed and the scattered stones of its entire foundation demolished, for an eternal temple was being consecrated as a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. This eternal temple is the man who is made worthy of becoming God’s habitation through knowledge of the Son, confession of the Father and obedience to the commandments.
