Why the blind of Bethsaida had not go back to Bethsaida

[Giuseppe]

Because the "men as walking trees" were the Roman legions.

For the same motive, Peter had to go 'behind' Jesus: who was already 'behind' Jesus and was coming, was 'Satan', i.e. the Roman legions.

[Charles Wilson]

Because the "men as walking trees" were the Roman legions.

Josephus, War..., 5, 3, 2:

"But Titus, intending to pitch his camp nearer to the city than Scopus, placed as many of his choice horsemen and footmen as he thought sufficient opposite to the Jews, to prevent their sallying out upon them, while he gave orders for the whole army to level the distance, as far as the wall of the city. So they threw down all the hedges and walls which the inhabitants had made about their gardens and groves of trees, and cut down all the fruit trees that lay between them and the wall of the city, and filled up all the hollow places and the chasms, and demolished the rocky precipices with iron instruments; and thereby made all the place level from Scopus to Herod's monuments, which adjoined to the pool called the Serpent's Pool..."

Right here, you are absolutely, positively correct.

Mark 8: 23 - 26 (RSV):

[23] And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?"
[24] And he looked up and said, "I see men; but they look like trees, walking."
[25] Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
[26] And he sent him away to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."

"...and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly."
***
"... "Do not even enter the village."

Jerusalem is to be destroyed. It is very, VERY clear. Do not even go back... ]

"Bethsaida" => "Bezetha"
