"When JESUS had come in sight of the city, HE wept over it, and said, 'If only today you knew the ways of peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. Yet days will come upon you, when your enemies will surround you with barricades, and shut you in, and press on you from every side. And they will dash you to the ground and your children with you, and not leave stone upon stone within you, for you did not recognize the time and the visitation of your GOD.'" - Luke 19:41-44
(In this discourse the Gospel uses the style of apocalyptic books. In this kind of literature signs announced great events.
The discourse comprises words pronounced by JESUS in very diverse circumstances. JESUS refuses speculation and reminds us that Christian history is one of persecution; HE encourages us to be faithful.)
