The greatest part of what is said here, was said by our Saviour before, Joh_7:34; (see the explication of it there); only here, instead of ye shall not find me, is,
ye shall die in your sins; a phrase we shall find in Eze_3:18,19, which doubtless signifieth, in the guilt of your sins, not removed from you; and is a threatening of eternal death, as well as temporal in the destruction of Jerusalem: and those who do so, cannot come into heaven, where Christ is.
