The Stones Will Cry Out

"Much people" were indeed present. Everything was favorable for the greatest demonstration toward making Christ the long-expected King.

5. The stones will cry out.—Inasmuch as the prophet had said that these words would be repeated at just such a time, they must be heard, even tho the stones of earth cry out, because the Word of God can not be broken. What He says is sure to come to pass, even tho it must be done in the most improbable way.

6. Their enemies.—How little the people realized the meaning of those sorrowful words! A generation later the Roman army was encamped on the very spot from whence these words were uttered, and it laid in ashes all the splendor of the city as it appeared on the day of Christ's triumphal entry thereto.
