Matthew Poole and continuators on John 7:34

34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me : and where I am, thither ye cannot come .

Some think the meaning is, You shall seek me, to execute your malice upon me, but to no purpose, for you shall not find me. Or, you shall seek me to destroy me in my Church, and to root out my Name, but to no purpose. But the most probable sense is this; you wicked Iews, that now contemn the means of Grace by me offered to you, shall one day be in distress and calamity enough; and when you are so, then you will wish I were again amongst you; but I shall be Ascended to my Father;

and as deaf to your Prayers, as above the reach of your malice. There is much the same thing said in Mat. 23.39. That he here speaketh of his Ascension is plain from Chap. 13.33. He speaketh of Heaven as a place where he was at that time, for so he was as to his Divine Nature. It is [non-Latin text not transcribed], whither I go; which makes some think, it should not here be [non-Latin text not transcribed], but [non-Latin text not transcribed] vado. But others reject it, because it is a Poetical word, hardly used in the New Testament.
