Since you asked for the common understanding of this, I'm going to turn to several well-known Bible commentaries, all conveniently located [here, associated with the verse in question, an BibleHub.com][1]. Some seem to think that it is prophetical, and fulfilled in the destruction of Jerusalem, and the slaying of the Jews, who rejected Christ. > **Pulpit Commentary** > > Verse 27. - But those mine enemies, which would not that I should > reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. An obvious > reference to the Lord's dealings with the chosen people, and an > unmistakable reference to the awful ruin and disaster which was so > soon to overwhelm the city and temple and the whole nationality. > > > **Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible** > > But those mine enemies,.... Meaning particularly the Jews, who were > enemies to the person of Christ, and hated and rejected him, as the > King Messiah; and rebelled against him, and would not submit to his > government; and were enemies to his people, and were exceeding mad > against them, and persecuted them; and to his Gospel, and the > distinguishing truths of it, and to his ordinances, which they > rejected against themselves: > > which would not that I should reign over them; see Luke 19:14 > > bring hither, and slay them before me; which had its accomplishment in > the destruction of Jerusalem, when multitudes of them were slain with > the sword, both with their own, and with their enemies; > > > > **Clarke's Commentary on the Bible** > > Those - enemies - bring hither - the Jews, whom I shall shortly slay > by the sword of the Romans. Others seem to believe that it refers to the ultimate fate of all who reject Christ. > **People's New Testament** > > > 19:27 Those my enemies. This portrays the fate, not of church members, > but of those who would not have the Lord reign over them. It embraces > all the impenitent. Compare Mt 13:49 21:44 25:30:00 2Th 1:8-10. > > > **Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary** > > 27. bring hither, &c.—(Compare 1Sa 15:32, 33). Referring to the awful destruction of Jerusalem, but pointing to the final destruction of all > that are found in open rebellion against Christ. Either understanding seems to be common, just with different groups and commentators. [1]: http://biblehub.com/commentaries/luke/19-27.htm
