    Matt.24:1 "Your house"

    This places the entire indictment stated in Ch.23 as a final denouncement in context of his visit to Jerusalem the great city of the great King, and he was within the temple precincts. When he caps it with this as malediction "Behold, your house is left unto you desolate./For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth" we can place it in historical context.

    The temple stood facing eastward and we have in the vision of Ezekiel this verse clearly referring to the entry of Christ.The east gate consequently shall be shut, "because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut."(Ez.44:2) Here the visions of Ezekiel and of John are setting the two worlds of the body and of the Spirit in juxtaposition. Ezekiel speaks of the historical temple. This symbolic shutting of the gate presages desolation that Jesus refers. In the New Jerusalem only it shall be opened, "And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day."(Re.21:25). It is opened for the saved nations to enter therein.

    Jesus leaving the temple is characterized as the glory, "Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims."(Ez.10:18).This sets the way to the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 and beyond.

    The Prince, the Lord of heaven proved his deity with his Ascension. " This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.(Ac.1:11). Ezekiel foretold, "And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof."(Ez.46:8;44:3)

    In this context the temple worship of Israel was merely a shadow of the House of Prayer for all Nations being prepared in heaven. So 'your' qualifies the house fit for hypocrites, no better than a whitened sepulcher, hiding behind every uncleanness.
