This text has always seemed like a conflict of differing tunnel visions. Jesus is completely focused on Jerusalem, while others have priorities that interfere with their embracing his agenda. They just can't see.
The French nation developed a strategy for its national defenses out of the pyric experience of World War I. The horrors of trench warfare led them to misinterpret the value of fixed defenses. Their "tunnel vision" led to the construction of a complex series of positions known as the Maginot Line. The Germans had learned different lessons from their experience. Instead of relying on fixed defenses they envisioned war as being an exercise of speed and maneuver. On May 10, 1940, the Nazis launched their offensive against France, not against the powerful Maginot Line, but instead through the countries of The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. The Maginot Line was outflanked and rendered useless. The Nazis entered Paris on June 14.
