Read Luke 19.41-48. In verses 41-44: These verses offer a graphic description of siege warfare in a prophetic declaration filled with Jeremiah's words predicting Jerusalem's first destruction by the neo-Babylonian empire (Jer 6.6-21; 8.18-21; 15.5; 23.38-40). In verse 44: The time of your visitation from God occurred when God's king Jesus arrived (1.68; 7.16). In verses 45-46: The elimination from the temple of those who were selling was a prophetic hope (Zech 14.21), so that it could be restored as a house of prayer (Isa 56.7). In verses 47-48: Luke emphasizes the increasing official hostility to Jesus and the loyalty of all the people throughout chs. 20-22. These chapters parallel Mk 12-14 closely. Comments or Questions..
