After sharing His last supper with His closest friends, Jesus took them to the top of the Mount of Olives. From there, He looked across the Kidron Valley to the wall of Jerusalem.

He could see the Temple (which stood to the right of the golden Muslin Dome of the Rock of Mohammed).

He could see the ancient city of Jerusalem, and as He looked into the future, He began to weep.

He lamented, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace -- but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side... because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you." (Luke 19:41-44)
