Jesus prediced that would occur.
Matthew 24
1And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Many things prove that Jesus was the Messiah, but it proves that Jesus was a prophet and he was proved right that no stone was left when the temple was destroyed, even when the soldiers were specifically ordered not to destroy the temple, but to leave it standing. But what it does prove is that the New Testament scriptures were written in the time of Christ (i.e while there were people around who knew Christ or his disciples) and not written after AD 70, because apart from the prophetic words in Daniel and Jesus referring to Daniel. There is no scripture that refers to the most important event that happened to the Jews since their captivity in Babylon and that was the events of AD 70. The earliest copies of the NT are from the third century, but remmember copies are not originals. We know that the originals were around before AD 70 for example we have the Qumran fragment 7Q5 which contains a portion of Mark's Gospel from a cave agreed to have been sealed in AD 68.

Yes it does.
Jesus did not reveal the day and hour. Rather, he gave this instruction: “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near. Then let those in Judea begin fleeing to the mountains, and let those in the midst of her withdraw, and let those in the country places not enter into her.” (Luke 21:20, 21) During the 30 years after Jesus spoke those words, some Christians in Jerusalem lost their sense of urgency and became distracted. They took their eyes off the road, as it were. If they did not adjust their thinking, disaster was certain. Whether they thought so or not, Jerusalem’s destruction was imminent!

Yes, it's one of the meanings of what occurs in the Book of Revelations. Revelations also is about the Catholic Mass, and the future Second Coming of Christ.

Only in the texts that were written after the fact. The early Christians made good use of it as a marketing tool.

No. This is not written about in my Bible, and the "New Testament" was written after the fact and so cannot be used as a predictive tool.

No ...Jerusalem suffered a little destruction not as told.
Most of it is still in tact.

Yes. That's what part of Revelations is about. John wrote it about 64AD.

Jesus said the temple would be destroyed and no brick would be left standing on another
