In this passage, Jesus speaks about the destruction of Jerusalem.The beautiful city of Jerusalem which was the pride of the Israelites was destroyed by the Roman army in AD 70.What Jesus predicted did happen before the eyes of his disciples later.But it is also the harbinger of good news too. Just as the destruction was a certain fact, so too will be the redemption of the world.
What we have to remember is the warning that Jesus gives through this passage.Everything that appears to be glorious and powerful in this world has only a transient value.It will disappear from our sight in no time. What is important is the way we lead our lives-- the conformity that we try to establish between our life and the teachings of the Lord.What is more stable and long standing than a beautiful Temple is our faith in the Lord and our determination to lead our lives in conformity with His teachings.
