However patient the present landowner may be, there is a lien on the Title granting a kind of perpetual easement. Those parties are both capable and righteous in taking possession at any time.
Those anxious about rebuilding fail to see their resemblance to Abraham "working out God's will" in a tent with his wife's slave girl. Ultimately, God does not need any of our help in defending his claims or reputation.
When Jesus prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem he was quite specific. "No one stone," he said of Herod's "improvements" on Nehemiah's "Second Temple."
"As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." - Luke 21:6
Last time I looked, and that was just yesterday, interestingly enough, the Wailing Wall, including the incredibly heavy "Western Stone" was still standing.
I sometimes wonder how many Christians' of nominal faith would melt away if (or when) God "watching over his word to perform it" does not fulfill in a manner consistent with what they've been taught.
Yup--that's why the Pharisees hated Him, and that's why most Jews refuse to accept Christ.

I, like many Jews, believe the so-called “Wailing Wall” is actually part of the old Fort Antonia, and not a part of the old temple complex. Therefore, the prophecy of Jesus was fulfilled in AD 70.
