This verse could refer to the beautifully fitted stones and jewels in the temple wall. We might feel the same about the beautiful church building that we worship in with its lovely stained-glass windows. How would we feel if someone told us that it would all be destroyed? Wouldn't we think that was sacrilegious? All the buildings we almost worship here and in foreign lands where beautiful cathedrals have stood for centuries, they could be our replacement for the temple walls, which had also stood for ages. We know that things don't last forever.
