Luke 13:35

“Behold, your house is left unto you desolate, etc.] That is, would be in a little time, both city and temple; (see Gill on “<402338>Matthew 23:38”) and verily I say unto you; affirm in the strongest manner: ye shall not see me; the Arabic version adds, “from henceforth”, and so some copies, as in (<402339>Matthew 23:39) and so the Ethiopic version, “from this time”; that he spoke these words, whether in Galilee, or in the temple: until the time come; or “until he shall come”, meaning himself, and his second coming: when ye shall say, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; not they themselves in person, but their posterity, who will be converted in the latter day: and shall…”

“13:35 your house is abandoned: Jesus predicted the destruction of Jerusalem that took place in AD 70. • Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! This refers to Ps 118:26. Psalm 118 was one of the psalms sung by pilgrims going up to Jerusalem for the annual festivals. Here Jesus referred to his second coming.”
