JC - Chapter 31

In His final visit to the temple, the Savior lamented -

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."  (New Testament | Matthew 23:37 - 39)

Killing the prophets, became even more meaningful that in a few days, they would kill the Son of God.

I noticed that the Savior now declares the temple ..."your house".  And a short time afterwards would prophecy -

"...here shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."  (New Testament | Matthew 24:2)

This was fulfilled in 70 AD.  But what touched me were these final words at the temple -

"He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."  (New Testament | John 12:44 - 50)
