I see...what was it that Yeshua told the Jews veteran? Oh yes I remember now: "For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord."
Remember Yeshua was talking primarily to the tribe of Judah when He made this statement.
In Yeshua Messiah,

No, it is NOT primarily to or about the tribe of Judah, it's to those of the "synagogue of Satan" bowing in worship to Him at the feet of His elect during His thousand years reign. Jesus wasn't saying that to all the people of Israel, but specifically to the unbelieving hypocrite scribes and Pharisees...
Matt 23:29-39
29
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35
That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see Me henceforth, till ye shall say, "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."
(KJV)
Luke 19:28-39
28 And when He had thus spoken, He went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when He was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as He had said unto them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 And as He went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37
And when He was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying,
Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him, "Master, rebuke Thy disciples."
(KJV)
Just as Jesus came to Jerualem from the East via the Mount of Olives at His first coming, and the Pharisees rejected Him as Messiah then, so likewise it will be with the children of those Pharisees at His second coming, the main difference being they will bow to Him as LORD, but they won't willingly accept Him as The Saviour.
