For those of you that are History buffs, as am I, I found this extremely interesting. This occurred not too long after the Siege of The Israeli Temple in 70AD, which Christ Prophesied about. The crazy part in all this, in my opinion is when Jesus tells of not one stone will stand upon another, after the Siege. What I found out through Research is that the sole reason that the Romans sacked Jerusalem and it's Temple specifically is the very fact that between each and every Stone was Gold. Now, whether or not it was mixed in a Mortar or what, well, can you imagine how Solomon's Temple, just how it must've shimmered in the Sunlight? Fascinating!!
"Now as Jesus drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” —Luke 19:41-44
