29 - “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders! For you build the tombs of the prophets and you decorate the monuments of the righteous, 30 saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have joined them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 Thus you witness against yourselves, that you’re sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents and brood of vipers, how are you to escape the sentence of gehenna? {This slow gehenna crucible - entropy, “which does noT quit”.} 34 Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog and persecute from town to town.” {Like Saul/Paul did!!} 35 “So that on you may come all the righteous blood shed upon earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, who you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly, I tell you, all will come upon this generation {70 CE}.

     37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!” {‘Micro’ example of the macro Truth.’Micro’ fulfillment of prophecy/effects of cause and effect, God’s wrath/orge/passion ..as opposed to humanity as a mere ant farm?} “How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you - you will not see me again - untiL you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’” {Cross references: Rev.7:9,4 and 12:17, chapter 12 as the middle of three tellings of the revelation vision, which rejoin at the sounding of the 7th trumpet.}
