Hi Makarios When you say "But after Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, and despite all of His efforts at spreading the Word of His Coming, He would still find Jerusalem unrepentant and unready at the time of His first Coming" Do you feel Jesus was surprised? Or was He just disappointed? With the light of, Matthew 23:37 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem," My question is, (why) to both questions. Vintage68 |

Greetings Vintage68, I am reading Matthew 21 (Jesus coming to Jerusalem) alongside Ezekiel 8-11 (how the Glory of the Lord left the Temple) and how unrepentant, idolatrous Israel drove the Glory of the Lord away. This unrepentant attitude would cause the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to clear the Temple many years later, when they were still found not to be ready. I believe that Jesus already knew what He was going to find, but that still does not stop Him from reacting emotionally to the spiritual state of Israel. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Hi Makarios Thanks for the prompt answer. Just wanted to hear your views. I feel the same way, He knew what he would find, he had been telling his disciples that he would be killed, for a long time. Plus he had been talking to the people in Parables, so they would not understand and repent. Matt. 23 Is where I feel Jesus is more voicing the thoughts of God, and His remorse for ALL the Jewish nation had ever done, or failed to do. Blessings Vintage68 |
