Jesus Christ's lament over Jerusalem in Luke's gospel includes a reference to the time of your visitation, which the Amplified Bible clarifies as the time when God was visiting you, offering salvation through Christ. Because of Jerusalem's rejection of God during this visitation, she was left desolate, with no structure remaining, a prophecy fulfilled in AD 70 when the Roman Emperor Titus destroyed the city and the Temple.

God's Visitation: Joseph believed the words that God spoke to Abraham concerning what would befall Abraham's children. He also believed that God would judge the strangers whom they would serve and bring them out of that strange land into the Promised Land. These words, handed down through Isaac and Jacob to Joseph, formed the trust and confidence in his mind that God would visit the children of Israel in a positive way, and then they would be led to their ancestral lands.

God's visitation reveals His profound kindness and tender nature toward humanity. He did not merely pity us from a distance or allow His compassion to remain an inactive feeling. Instead, He entered into our life, stooping from His high and pure abode as glorious God, veiling His divinity to assume our nature. He was tempted in all things like us, took our sicknesses, and bore our infirmities to be a merciful and faithful High Priest. He did not maintain a superior status but truly walked in our shoes, going about doing good. This act of visitation demonstrates His generous and merciful giving for the benefit of others, showing the heart of His nature. Despite our provocations, stubbornness, neglect, and rebellions, He dwells in us, standing ever ready as our High Priest and Intercessor to serve with yet more kindness.
