Correct! The Herodian temple was adorned with marble stones embedded with gold. These were the stones that were the subject of the prophecy.Also the western wall was part of the temple grounds but it was not part of the temple proper.
God be with you brother.thx much about the stones, both of ya
bad day for me today - Navy Yard killings very upsetting
I was working at Ft Hood a few years ago when all those killings/woundings happened
you wouldn't believe how many people came to give blood the next day at Red Cross
i'm not in great place right now - like a bad flashback
You are entitled to your opinions.
And so am I.
I don't need to be dogmatic about my opinion being "irrefutable" regarding 2 Cor. 4:4.
I just know that Paul is not referring to the Lord when he says, "the god of this age"
And the term "this age" doesn't solely refer to "unbelievers" It's primary meaning is one of time., not people.
There were 2 ages in scripture that the Jews understood.
The age before the Messiah- and the age of the Messiah.
The "this age" which ended in AD70, & "the age to come" after the "end of the age." predicted in Matthew 24.
To the Romans Paul spoke of "the God of peace bruising Satan under their feet shortly." (Rom 16:20). To Corinth Paul wrote that "the God of the age had blinded the unbelieving that the light of the gospel might not dawn upon them." (II Cor 4:4). To the Hebrews Paul wrote that "Jesus partook of flesh and blood that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil." (Heb 2:14). Peter wrote that "the devil was going about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour." (I Pet 5:8). John says that "to this end was the Son of God manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil." (I Jn 3:8).

I rest my case also.
Thanks for your input.As a Full Preterist I believe it has been fulfilled.
Amen!I do now.
This thread has gone on so long that I changed from a futurist mocking preterism to a full preterist myself!
I thank LittleLamb, Boxer, Parousia70 (in other threads) and especially Coraline who recommended WHO IS THIS BABYLON by Preston, which I read with much astonishment
Fulfilled.
Jesus came back soon - within the generation - like He said He would
The fervent heat of the Temple fire in 70 AD melted the "elements" of Mosaic Judaism along with the gold in the stones that Roman soldiers tore rocks apart to get at
Amen!
Who said anything about a seventy year 1000 years?A seventy yr "1000 yrs" is just silly. As I have discussed before Christ was speaking of the generation of the earth or creation like in Gen 2, and not man. So we have Him saying He will return in this generation, rather than the regeneration.
Which makes Jesus a true Prophet.I do now.

. . .The Destruction Of 
JERUSALEM
An Absolute and Irresistible
PROOF OF THE DIVINE ORIGIN OF
CHRISTIANITY:
INCLUDING A NARRATIVE OF
THE CALAMITIES WHICH BEFEL THE JEWS
The magnificent Temple that Herod had built was completely destroyed as the fires raged inside and out. These fires were so hot that the gold fittings, and the gold gilding inside and on it's outside walls melted and ran into the cracks between and in the stones.
During the pillaging of the Temple these stones were broken up to get at the gold. Therefore, fulfilling Jesus' prophecy that no stone would be left on anotherthe destruction was total, just as Jesus foretold.........
.........
I don't know of any first hand eyewitnesses who wrote about that event except for JosephusI keep reading this in many posts but I have never read any historical evidence i.e. something written at or near the time in question, by a participant or an eyewitness that "the gold gilding ... melted and ran into the cracks between and in the stones. ... these stones were broken up to get at the gold." Sounds to me like an invented internet legend.

Great post!In my opinion, "generation" has nothing to do with "the generation of the earth."
Moses prophesied about the latter days generation. He told the nation of Israel about her end just before she entered the promised land.
He taught Israel a song to pass down to subsequent generations.
"Then Moses spoke in the hearing of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song until they were ended" (Deuteronomy 31:30 NKJV)
As he finished he gave them the purpose for this song..
Thks for that link. It also ties the Olivet Disourse to RevelationThe reason why full Preterism is in UT is bc we don't accept what uninspired men interpreted about Jesus second coming.
In the "creeds" they keep saying century after century that Christ "will come to judge the quick & the dead."
This is an error by the church which has been perpetuated by tradition.
The Bible speaks of Christ's imminent return. Nothing delayed!
Yes, we are unorthodox & labeled heretics (who cares) bc we don't believe the uninspired men who wrote about the futuristic coming of the Lord.
They created that "orthodox" tradition.
I prefer the inspired words in the Bible to prove to me that Jesus came as promised!
By the way, did anyone read my thread on "mello?"
