Luke 13:35 (KJV)
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
The prophetic nature of our Saviour is displayed repeatedly in the Gospels. Here we see:
A prophecy of His crucifixion
His life would be taken in Jerusalem.
A prophecy of Jerusalem’s destruction,
An event that occurred in 70 AD, leading to the practical abandonment of the Promised Land for nearly 2,000 years, and the dispossession, oppression, and homelessness of the Jewish people during that time.
A prophecy of His return
This, of course, necessitated a prophecy of His resurrection—a matter upon which He insisted, and the Word of God rests.
If the nature of Christ was prophetic while He dwelt among us, it was equally evangelistic and gospel-oriented. In verse 34, He desires to gather them under His wings. In verse 35, He intimates it will be accomplished when He returns, and they welcome Him.
The atheist says the burden to prove the resurrection of Christ rests upon us, the believers. I say it has already been proven. I say, prove He is in the grave, and only then may they rest assured He will not come again.
