LUKE 13:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.”
Look, your house is left to you desolate — the desolation of the house (echoing Jeremiah 22:5 and the destruction of the first temple) anticipates the destruction of 70 CE while expressing the spiritual desolation of a covenant community that has rejected its covenant Lord. The house that was meant to be a house of prayer for all nations has become desolate through the refusal of its occupants to receive the one who came to fill it.
