41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, 44 and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
Luke 19:41-44
Jesus weeps over Jerusalem. The people of Israel had been awaiting the Messiah, and there He was right before them… but they could not see Him. They were hard hearted and deceived by the world, by legalism, they were blind. Jesus knew what was coming for Him, and foretold what was coming for them.
They had turned away from peace, from God, from salvation… and they suffer from it to this very day.
