    A Self Application

    They had pronounced their own doom! Under Jesus’ searching gaze they knew He read the secrets of their hearts. They saw in the husbandmen a picture of themselves.SS 367.4

    Regretfully Christ asked: “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.” Matthew 21:33-44, RSV.SS 367.5

    The Jewish nation determined they would not receive Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah. Henceforth their lives were surrounded with darkness as the darkness of midnight. The doom foretold came on the Jewish nation. In their blind rage they destroyed one another. Their rebellious pride brought on them the wrath of their Roman conquerors. Jerusalem was destroyed, the temple laid in ruins, and its site plowed like a field. Millions were sold as bondmen in heathen lands.SS 367.6
