Matt 23:39
For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
When is this referring to, specifically?
Is this referring to the 2nd coming of Christ when they see him coming in judgment?
Is this referring to his triumphal entry?
Is this referring to such a time as individuals convert and thus "see him" in the new spiritual house he now dwells in (his church) as opposed to the old physical house that has now been "left to you desolate"?
Is this referring to something else?
The big shot Dispensational I know would say this refers to Christs 2nd coming when national Israel is converted when they "look on him whom they have pierced" (or one third of them do at least. Or something.) But I am in the process of shedding that system...
I've read mixed opinions. Set me straight if you are able
