The Gospel is written after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD by the Romans and uses the event to put into Jesus’ mouth what he would have thought about it. And what is he making of it? That the destruction of Jerusalem comes because Jesus own people have failed to grasp the opportunity to respond to God’s compelling invitation to welcome the Kingdom Jesus is inviting them to become part of so God’s Reign may commence.
