Matthew 23:39

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem

37 ^a“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets ^band stones those who are sent to her! How often ^cI wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks ^dunder her wings, but you were not willing!

38 See! Your house is left to you desolate;

39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ^a‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

Matthew 23:37-39

Jesus is lamenting His own death in Jerusalem, coming up very soon. He is also lamenting the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD coming up soon also, and He foreshadows the time of Jacob's troubles, as well coming up soon. The repeated word Jerusalem, Jerusalem, cries of personal anguish, much like the repeated Martha, Martha in Luke 10:41. God's love for us has always been there, as ours should be for these little children.
