Gill's Notes on the Bible
Behold your house is left unto you desolate. Signifying that the city in which they dwelt, where they had their ceiled houses, and stately palaces, would, in a little time, within the space of forty years, be destroyed, and become a desert; and the temple, formerly the house of God, but now only their's, and in which they trusted, would be abandoned by God, he would grant his presence no more in it; and the Messiah, the proprietor of it, and who was now in it, would then take his leave of it, and never more return to it; and that also should share the same fate as the city, and at the same time. Our Lord seems to have in view those passages in Jeremiah 12:7 and which the Jewish o writers understood of the temple. The author of the apocryphal the second book of Esdras has much such an expression as this:
"Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Your house is desolate, I will cast you out as the wind doth stubble.'' (2 Esdras 1:33)
o Targum & Kimchi in Jer. xii. 7.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Your house - The temple. The house of worship of the Jews. The chief ornament of Jerusalem.
Desolate - About to be desolate or destroyed. To be forsaken as a place of worship, and delivered into the hands of the Romans, and destroyed. See the notes at Matthew 24:0.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Matthew 23:38. Behold, your house — Ο οικος, the temple: - this is certainly what is meant. It was once the Lord's temple, God's OWN house; but now he says, YOUR temple or house - to intimate that God had abandoned it. Matthew 23:21; see also Clarke on "Luke 13:35".
