"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!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
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."
Matthew 23:37-39

Here is Jesus stating in advance what was
going to happen when the God's chosen
people rejected their Messiah. Their house
would be left unto them desolate.
