So when people go to the Wailing Wall, what are they visiting? It’s highly probable the wall has nothing to do with the Temple but is part of a Roman fortress. (Hat Tip to Vox Day for this post.) Jesus made it clear that the Temple would be destroyed. In Matthew 24:1-2 (as well as …
C.S. Lewis said that the verses about Jesus returning in the lifetime of his followers are the most embarrassing verses in the Bible. Here is the Scripture to which he’s referring.
