Why is the Wailing Wall still standing?

Very strange that Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple walls when the messiah is the one who will REBUILD the walls.

.

Well it also says farther down that 'this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened." -- some people would take that to mean that Jesus was wrong there too because those guys are long gone. But 'generation' here means 'race' of people. So I don't think he was wrong in saying the temple would be destroyed. It was. He said it the way he said it to get the message across. So now there is only a section of wall left standing. The point is, the daily sacrifice is no more, the temple is gone, and setup in it's place is the dome of the rock, just as predicted.

That last sentence is a clever way to keep the scoffers out, good for you. But somehow I don't think the wailing wall has to come down, the temple is gone.

The entire city was demolished, with only the towers of Herod’s palace and a portion of the western wall left standing as evidence to later generations of the defensive strength that had availed nothing. Josephus remarks that, apart from these remnants, the rest of the wall encompassing the city was so completely levelled to the ground as to leave future visitors to the spot no ground for believing that it had ever been inhabited.

I guess Jesus either wasn't right or the wailing wall will still come down.

I always thought the wailing wall was part of the temple mount and not the temple itself.

The wailing wall is what we could describe as a "curb", though a rather large one, around the courtyard of the ancient temple. It is a retaining wall that held up the courtyard. And it still standing has nothing to do with what Jesus said. He was referring to the temple itself.

adjoining to the Western wall, Muslim government in actuality *are* digging interior a similar region of archaeological treasures of shape, thereby unfavorable great parts of what's left of the temple's complicated historic risk-free practices and water transportation structures.

You're actually treading on very thin ice with your question.

Many of the Christians in USA who make pilgrimages to Israel actually CAN'T WAIT to see that wall tumbled. This is because they think this will bring about the return of Christ in their lifetime.

They want Israel to escalate wars with their neighbors.

Not all pilgrims. . .I'm saying some, and that can't be denied. We must be careful of such people and which politicians they donate to.

Maybe because Jesus was not a prophet. The destruction of the second temple was prophesied centuries before Jesus was even born, even before the destruction of the first temple. Ezekiel speaks of the Third and final.

It's not actually the Temple.....
