that would be called a prophecy moron.
Or a "prophecy" retroactively placed in the mouth of a character to impress hearers/readers who already knew the Temple's fate.
But let's say, for the sake of argument, that Jesus did say something similar. Is that evidence of divinely inspired prophecy, or is it just possible that a Jew steeped in stories about the Assyrian destruction of Israel and the Babylonian captivity of the Judeans might somehow have figured out that the Jews' continued provocations of the Romans might lead to disaster?
As someone once said, "Glob!"
