Till ye shall say, etc. This refers to the future conversion of the Jews (comp. Romans 11:25-32.)

Blessed is he that cometh, etc. Our Lord had been thus greeted by His followers as He entered the city (chap. Matthew 21:9), but Jerusalem said: ‘Who is this.' The heavy judgments would inevitably come, but hope still remains.
