Answered in 1 source
The Bible predicts the destruction of the temple as a consequence of the people's unfaithfulness, indicating that not one stone will be left upon another.
In Luke 21, Jesus foretells the destruction of the temple by stating that the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another. This prophecy signifies God's judgment due to the corruption and spiritual failure of the people associated with the temple. Jesus’ prediction is recorded in the synoptic gospels, highlighting the weight of this event in the history of God's dealing with His people. The physical temple, which was supposed to represent God's presence among His people, ultimately became a place of corruption and unfaithfulness, leading to its complete destruction as a manifestation of God's sovereignty and judgment.
