South Wall

 

 The photo shows the southwest side of the Herodian temple, its wall on the right. Along the paved street are piles of stones, the debris caused by the Romans who destroyed Jerusalem as Jesus predicted. They threw the large pillars down from the top of the temple into the road, and the sunken paved street is an evidence of their drop.

Luke 19-44: "And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation".
