LUKE 12:56 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?”
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord — the promised day when Jerusalem will say these words frames the city's present rejection not as final but as preliminary. The desolation of the house (an echo of Jeremiah 22:5 and the destruction of the first temple) is not permanent for the city but is the consequence of the current rejection. The hen who longed to gather the chicks will return, and the scattered chicks will come.
