In order for a house to be renovated it is not just necessary that new things be updated or installed but some things have to come out and some things must be torn down. In order to plant a garden it is not only necessary that what is good is out into the earth, but that which has grown wild and which might threaten the new growth must be torn up by its roots. As Christ prophesied concerning Himself, "tear down this temple and in three days I will raise it up," so too does Christ here tell of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, laying waste to that which was no longer needed, a final judgment upon the people who rejected Him. In this text we find the marking of that which will be destroyed and the prophets who told of such destruction, prophets who were ignored, persecuted, even put to death. Within the boundaries of redemptive history, God never does a thing which He does not interpret Himself, so that we might see and hear and so believe that He is at work, and that His work is good and furthers His own kingdom.
