Matthew 23:34-38 "
34 “Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, 35 so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. 38 Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! 39 For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
The Lord is sending prophets, The Lord is wanting to gather Jerusalem and the nation under His wings. The Lord is declaring the current leadership of the Jewish people to be left desolate. The Lord is saying when the "until" for the full restoration of the promises to the Jewish nation will be.
The Lord is Yeshua, Jesus, as He makes clear in this section.
(A lot of scholars, say He only makes "God" statements in the Gospel of John which was written much later, but I think I am reading this correctly in Matthew and He is declaring right here that He is God.)
