Why don't they know? If it is hid who or what is hiding it from them? tsk@Luke:19:42 today has an interesting set of links to other scripture old and new in several regards. There is the thread of their hearts, one that turns and is made new, one that hardens and is turned fat. There is a thread of fear, the truer fear of God verses the fear taught by the precepts of man. The thread of wisdom, one that considers it's later end, one that is brought to a sudden end, one that is understood by the heart and one that sees but does not perceive failing to call when He is near. Then there is the eerie thread of who/what else might be behind this, a slumbering spirit the LORD pours out, a veil placed over, a blinding god of this world, a strong delusion sent. Needless to say it effects all as He says this looking out upon the holy city, even those rushing ahead to cheer and praise Him likely. It will remain even after the city itself has been leveled to the ground and millenniums latter. It is said to know Christ is to know all these things. It could then be said that the reason they do not know these things is because they know not Christ. At this stage we can surmise that they know not Christ because the Father/Spirit is still in the process of making the Son Christ known by sending Him through to the cross, have Him to die for our sin and resurrecting Him to the right hand of HIS own throne. How else are we to know Him as He actually is? This is the day/week of visitation and some/many are already sensing something big, but what it is and what it all means is quite unknown. The situation becomes much more profound after Jesus accomplishes this earthly Christ mission. Then what can be known of Christ is readily available to any and all willing to see to it. That is when judgment really has it's teeth as it did upon the temple destruction decades later. That is both the opportunity and the accountability we hold even today. The question for us is now that Christ can be known is He known? Have we sought to know Him fully unto His utter Lordship and our utter servitude?
