Matthew Poole and continuators on Mark 13:2

2 And Jesus answering, said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

The perishing nature of the splendid, and gay things of this World, are sitter objects for the meditation of such as are Christs Disciples, then the Splendour and Magnificence of them, especially when they are the priviledges of a sinful People▪ Sin will undermine, and blow up the most Famous structures. It is a good thing for Christians not to set their hearts upon them. See the Notes on Matth. 24.1. v.
