From now on, I tell you, you will never see me again until you say, 'God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord.' "

People of Jerusalem, let these troubles be a warning to you, or else I will abandon you; I will turn your city into a desert, a place where no one lives."

God said to me, "Mortal man, do you see what is happening? Look at the disgusting things the people of Israel are doing here, driving me farther and farther away from my holy place. You will see even more disgraceful things than this."

When the creatures stopped, the wheels stopped; and when the creatures flew, the wheels went with them, because the creatures controlled them.

They spread their wings and flew up from the earth while I was watching, and the wheels went with them. They paused at the east gate of the Temple, and the dazzling light was over them.

The living creatures began to fly, and the wheels went with them. The dazzling light of the presence of the God of Israel was over them.

Then the dazzling light left the city and moved to the mountain east of it.

But even if they did bring up children, I would take them away and not leave one alive. When I abandon these people, terrible things will happen to them."

As Jesus was leaving the Temple, one of his disciples said, "Look, Teacher! What wonderful stones and buildings!"

Jesus answered, "You see these great buildings? Not a single stone here will be left in its place; every one of them will be thrown down."

Some of the disciples were talking about the Temple, how beautiful it looked with its fine stones and the gifts offered to God. Jesus said,

"All this you see---the time will come when not a single stone here will be left in its place; every one will be thrown down."

"Are you going to build it again in three days?" they asked him. "It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple!"
