Notes

Matthew 24:2

not one stone: The destruction of Jerusalem and the temple showed God's judgment against Israel (see 1 Kings 9:7–9; Jeremiah 7:8–15; 9:10–12; 26:6, 18; Micah 3:12; see also Isaiah 64:11; Luke 19:44; Acts 6:14).

Matthew 24:1–31

Some think chapter 24 is about the return of Jesus at the end of time. Others think it as a prediction of events in AD 70, when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the temple. Some think it refers to both events. See also study notes on Mark 13.
