And now ye behold this temple which is in Jerusalem, which ye call the house of God, and your enemies say that this house shall never fall.
But, verily I say unto you, that desolation shall come upon this generation as a thief in the night, and this people shall be destroyed and scattered among all nations.
And this temple which ye now see shall be thrown down that there shall not be left one stone upon another.
And it shall come to pass, that this generation of Jews shall not pass away until every desolation which I have told you concerning them shall come to pass.
Ye say that ye know that the end of the world cometh; ye also say that ye know that the heavens and the earth shall pass away;
And in this ye say truely, for so it is; but these things which I have told you shall not pass away until all shall be fulfilled.
And this I have told you concerning Jerusalem; and when that day shall come, shall a remnant be scattered among all nations;
But they shall be gathered again; but they shall remain until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
