A Shockingly Fulfilled Prophecy
Commentators emphasize that Jesus' prediction of Jerusalem's total destruction was literally fulfilled about 30 years later by the Roman army in A.D. 70. Historical accounts, like those from Josephus, confirm that the city was razed so completely that, as Jesus said, not one stone was left on another. This historical fulfillment underscores the authority and divine foresight of Christ.
