Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

One stone upon another - This was literally fulfilled. See Matthew 24:2.

As for these things which ye behold,.... Some, as the Syriac and Ethiopic versions, read these words by way of interrogation; "are these the things which ye behold?" do ye look upon these with wonder and delight?
the days will come; and they are hastening on; a little while, a few years more:
in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down; See Gill on Matthew 24:2.
