Stranger, How do you see Matthew 23:38 'Look, your house is left unto you desolate'
In its context it says to me that Israels time as a chosen nation has reached its end point. The rejection of all of Gods promises, promises which culminated in Jesus, ensured their removal from their privileged position as a nation as foretold.
Yes, without a doubt Israel has been removed from her privileged position as a nation of God. It was and is desolate to this day. But it is a temporary move. God will establish Israel again.
It is interesting to note in (Matt. 23:31-36) that God is letting Israel fill up her cup of judgement in all these rebellions and rejections of God and Christ. (23:32). And God does this so He can give a full measure of judgement to them. But God not only judges Israel for the prophets she has killed, but for those that existed even before she existed as a nation, all the way back to Able. (23:35)
Why? Because that generation (23:36) of Israelites was so full of the spirit of anti-god and anti-christ that Israel represented all the anti-god sentiment that has ever existed by satan in the world.
Therefore, the Kingdom of God is taken from them. (Matt. 21:43) And it will be given to a nation instead which will bring forth the appropriate fruits of it. This does not mean it will be given to another nation of people other than Israelites. This means it will be given to another generation of Israelites yet to be.
So God at this time deals with Israel much like you see in the book of Esther. There is no mention of God in Esther. The Jews at this time are under the judgement of God. Yet God constantly and miraculously intervenes, watching over Israel, even though they are in unbelief and under His judgement.
