Chapter 1
The Destruction of Jerusalem
〃If thou hadst known； even thou； at least in this thy day； the things which
belong unto thy peace！ but now they are hid from thine eyes。 For the days
shall come upon thee； that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee； and
compass thee round； and keep thee in on every side； and shall lay thee even
with the ground； and thy children within thee； and they shall not leave in
thee one stone upon another； because thou knewest not the time of thy
visitation。〃 Luke 19：42…44。
From the crest of Olivet； Jesus looked upon Jerusalem。 Fair and peaceful was
the scene spread out before Him。 It was the season of the Passover； and from
all lands the children of Jacob had gathered there to celebrate the great
national festival。 In the midst of gardens and vineyards； and green slopes
studded with pilgrims' tents； rose the terraced hills； the stately palaces；
and massive bulwarks of Israel's capital。 The daughter of Zion seemed in her
pride to say； I sit a queen and shall see no sorrow； as lovely then； and
deeming herself as secure in Heaven's favor； as when； ages before； the royal
minstrel sang： 〃Beautiful for situation； the joy of the whole earth； is
Mount Zion； 。 。 。 the city of the great King。〃 Psalm 48：2。 In full view were
the magnificent buildings of the temple。 The rays of the setting sun lighted
up the snowy whiteness of its marble walls and gleamed from golden gate and
tower and pinnacle。 〃The perfection of
18
beauty〃 it stood； the pride of the Jewish nation。 What child of Israel could
gaze upon the scene without a thrill of joy and admiration！ But far other
thoughts occupied the mind of Jesus。 〃When He was come near； He beheld the
city； and wept over it。〃 Luke 19：41。 Amid the universal rejoicing of the
triumphal entry； while palm branches waved； while glad hosannas awoke the
echoes of the hills； and thousands of voices declared Him king； the world's
Redeemer was overwhelmed with a sudden and mysterious sorrow。 He； the Son of
God； the Promised One of Israel； whose power had conquered death and called
its captives from the grave； was in tears； not of ordinary grief； but of
intense； irrepressible agony。
His tears were not for Himself； though He well knew whither His feet were
tending。 Before Him lay Gethsemane； the scene of His approaching agony。 The
sheepgate also was in sight； through which for centuries the victims for
sacrifice had been led； and which was to open for Him when He should be
〃brought as a lamb to the slaughter。〃 Isaiah 53：7。 Not far distant was
Calvary； the place of crucifixion。 Upon the path which Christ was soon to
tread must fall the horror of great darkness as He should make His soul an
offering for sin。 Yet it was not the contemplation of these scenes that cast
the shadow upon Him in this hour of gladness。 No foreboding of His own
superhuman anguish clouded that unselfish spirit。 He wept for the doomed
thousands of Jerusalembecause of the blindness and impenitence of those
whom He came to bless and to save。
The history of more than a thousand years of God's special favor and
guardian care； manifested to the chosen people； was open to the eye of
Jesus。 There was Mount Moriah； where the son of promise； an unresisting
victim； had been bound to the altaremblem of the offering of the Son of
God。 There the covenant of blessing； the glorious Messianic promise； had
been confirmed to the father of the faithful。 Genesis 22：9； 16…18。 There the
flames of the sacrifice ascending to heaven from the threshing floor of
Ornan had turned
19
aside the sword of the destroying angel （1 Chronicles 21） fitting symbol
of the Saviour's sacrifice and mediation for guilty men。 Jerusalem had been
honored of God above all the earth。 The Lord had 〃chosen Zion；〃 He had
〃desired it for His habitation。〃 Psalm 132：13。 There； for ages； holy
prophets had uttered their messages of warning。 There priests had waved
their censers； and the cloud of incense； with the prayers of the worshipers；
had ascended before God。 There daily the blood of slain lambs had been
offered； pointing forward to the Lamb of God。 There Jehovah had revealed His
presence in the cloud of glory above the mercy seat。 There rested the base
of that mystic ladder connecting earth with heaven （Genesis 28：12； John
1：51）that ladder upon which angels of God descended and ascended； and
which opened to the world the way into the holiest of all。 Had Israel as a
natio
