It took no less than 80 years to expand and renovate the Temple of Jerusalem. Under King Herod's ruling, the Temple was completely renovated in 63AD. But just 7 years later, the Romans showed no mercy. The Romans left only a wall (wailing wall) as a constant reminder of their might.
Interesting fact: King Herod descended from the tribe of Esau called the Edomites. Esau was the older brother of Jacob. This may seem unimportant, but not with the covenant people who believe that God is faithful and will bring deliverance. "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob."
