"The clearest possible proof there is is the siege of Jerusalem which occurred in 70AD. The prophecy can be found four times: Matthew 24:1-2, Mark 13:1-2, Luke 19:41-44, and Luke 21:5-9."

The problem with these predictions is that they are all wrong. Every single one of them refers to "not one stone will be left upon another."

Erm.......Western (or Wailing) Wall????

I've been - it was still standing (1980). As far as I know it still stands today.

That's a very poor response.

'And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”'

I think you know why, but I'll say it. The prophecy is clear and very accurate to specifically how it was taken, and that is by seige.


And yet it was VERY specific - not one stone. Its not my fault - I didn't write it - that's what it says - not one stone and it is in every single one of the references. If any of them had said "barely one stone upon the other" or something you could have it - but they didn't.

How is it a poor response to point out that it was wrong, at least in part.

That remaining wall has been a rallying point for Jews for 2,000 years. It is a symbol of hope and faith for the entire religion. Even the might of Rome couldn't destroy the temple completely. You can't simply ignore it just because it doesn't quite match your flavour of your religion.
