(Below is the proven image of the Menorah from the Second Temple where Jesus drove the money-changers from and was dedicated to the Lord as an infant.)
Jesus was brought to the Second Temple (its ruins are called the Temple Mount in today's Jerusalem) to be dedicated as Luke 2:21-40 says. The Romans destroyed the Second Temple in AD 70, which had stood for 586 years( the first Temple was called Solomon's Temple-it was destroyed by the Babylonians.)
The Roman Empire commemorated the conquering of Jerusalem and Judea by building the still-standing famous Arch of Titus in AD 81. One of the friezes(pictorial carving) on the Arch of Titus records the Roman soldiers carrying away the giant Menorah of the Temple, while the Roman legion tore down every stone of the Second Temple. This Temple is where Jesus declared to the Pharisees that he would raise the temple of his body from the grave in 3 days.-Luke 2:19
In Matthew 24:2 Jesus prophesied that all of the stones of the Second Temple will be knocked down. This was fulfilled in AD 70. Only God could have known this!
The Spoils from the Temple of Jerusalem frieze of the Arch of Titus of course proves both that the Second Temple(sometimes called Herod's Temple) actually existed and Jesus's prophecy was true. Even pastor's I know and talk to do not know these facts. These truths prove that the Bible can absolutely be trusted.
Colossians 3:16-
6 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
1500 Protestant Churches closed in America in 2019 and studies show between 75-90 percent of church-going evangelical youth , leave the Christian faith. A Missouri pastor told me even adult members are leaving his church. I give further proven free 2700 year old pics of Isaiah 36:1 in the links provided, Even 1 person can have a huge impact in keeping people in Christ. Do not underestimate yourself. Yes, we are saved by faith alone in Christ alone but heaven is not a socialist paradise. Jesus greatly encouraged us to work for eternal rewards and treasures. Never has it bee easier to share evidence and edify the children/youth/pastors and your friends.
The photo below of the Spoils from the Temple of Jerusalem frieze is in Public Domain, and can be freely used in any way. This is very rare, Photos like this may be bought under limited license for 20 dollars sometimes but a sales lady from one of these online photo corps I called actually told me that my pastor could use their photo for a sermon on baby Jesus's dedication or Matthew 24:2 fulfillment- but not both. So I was fortunate to find the Public Domain( total free of use and infinite sharing) photo below.

Can Stones Cry?
The Roman soldiers have placed the 7 armed Menorah of the destroyed Second Temple mentioned in the Gospels and Acts, on their shoulders.
