Jesus prophesied that the Temple would be destroyed

Matthew 24:1-2

1 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings.

2 "Do you see all these things?" he asked. "I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."

(New International Version translation)

Bible passage: Matthew 24:1-2
Prophet: Jesus
Written: During the first century AD

In Matthew 24:1-2, Jesus prophesied that the Temple of Jerusalem would be destroyed and that its destruction would be so complete that not one stone would be left standing on top of another. His prophecy was fulfilled about 40 years later.

During a war between the Jews and the Romans that ended in 70 AD, fire was set to the Temple in Jerusalem and it burned to the ground. The destruction was witnessed by an historian named Josephus, who, in his book, The Wars Of The Jews, Book 7, Chapter 8, Section 7, indicates that the Temple's destruction was so complete that even the foundation was destroyed.
