Luke 19:41-44

 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.”

From Background Notes [BN] for August 11^th & 12^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Here are stones of a different sort than the one at the boundary of Lazarus. These are rubble stones, inflicted by war, the failure of Israel’s leadership to “recognize the time of God’s coming.”

 

[BN, 3]
