Exegesis
The idiom lithos epi lithō {λίθος ἐπὶ λίθῳ | líthos epí líthō} intensifies the image by saying that no stone will remain resting on another, a vivid way to describe total collapse.
In context — Luke 21:6
As for these things that you are seeing, days will come when not one stone will be left upon another that will not be thrown down .
