What does Matthew 24:1 mean?
Barnes' Notes
INTRO: Jesus foretells the destruction of the temple, as he takes his final leave of it, and teaches what were the signs of his coming. These predictions are also recorded in Mk 13:1-37; Lk 21:6-38.
Verse 1. And Jesus went out. He was going over to the Mount of Olives, Mt 24:3.
The buildings of the temple. The temple itself, with the surrounding courts, porches, and other edifices. Mt 21:12. Mark says, that they particularly pointed out the stones of the temple, as well as the buildings. "In that temple," says Josephus, the Jewish historian, "were several stones which were forty-five cubits in length, five in height, and sixth in breadth;" that is, more than seventy feet long, ten wide, and eight high. These stones, of such enormous size, were principally used in building the high wall on the east side, from the base to the top of the mountain. They were also, it is said, beautifully painted with variegated colours.

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Introduction
Christ foretells the destruction of the temple, Mat 24:1, Mat 24:2. His disciples inquire when and what shall be the sign of this destruction, Mat 24:3. Our Lord answers, and enumerates them - false Christs, Mat 24:5. Wars, famines, pestilences, and earthquakes, Mat 24:6-8. Persecution of his followers, Mat 24:9. Apostasy from the truth, Mat 24:10-13. General spread of the Gospel, Mat 24:14. He foretells the investment of the city by the Romans, Mat 24:15-18. The calamities of those times, Mat 24:19-22. Warns them against seduction by false prophets, Mat 24:23-26. The suddenness of these calamities, Mat 24:27, Mat 24:28. Total destruction of the Jewish polity, Mat 24:29-31. The whole illustrated by the parable of the fig-tree, Mat 24:32, Mat 24:33. The certainty of the event, though the time is concealed, Mat 24:34-36. Careless state of the people, Mat 24:37-41. The necessity of watchfulness and fidelity, illustrated by the parable of the two servants, one faithful, the other wicked, Mat 24:42-51 This chapter contains a prediction of the utter destruction of the city and temple of Jerusalem, and the subversion of the whole political constitution of the Jews; and is one of the most valuable portions of the new covenant Scriptures, with respect to the evidence which it furnishes of the truth of Christianity. Every thing which our Lord foretold should come on the temple, city, and people of the Jews, has been fulfilled in the most correct and astonishing manner; and witnessed by a writer who was present during the whole, who was himself a Jew, and is acknowledged to be an historian of indisputable veracity in all those transactions which concern the destruction of Jerusalem. Without having designed it, he has written a commentary on our Lord's words, and shown how every tittle was punctually fulfilled, though he knew nothing of the Scripture which contained this remarkable prophecy. His account will be frequently referred to in the course of these notes; as also the admirable work of Bishop Newton on the prophecies. Verse 1 And Jesus went out, and departed from, the temple - Or, And Jesus, going out of the temple, was going away. This is the arrangement of the words in several eminent manuscripts, versions, and fathers; and is much clearer than that in the common translation. The Jews say the temple was built of white and green-spotted marble. See Lightfoot. Josephus says the stones were white and strong; fifty feet long, twenty-four broad, and sixteen thick.
