1 Thessalonians 2:15-16 describes a scene where Gods wrath has fallen upon to the uttermost those who killed the Lord and the prophets. In my opinion this uttermost wrath would be the destruction of Jerusalem in the first century.
The faithless in Jerusalem had also just a few years earlier exiled all believing in Christ Jews--with the exception of the apostles (Acts 8:1), and so may also be part of the reason why the Lord removed Himself from the hearts of the faithless in Jerusalem causing them to revolt against Roman rule that brought about their destruction.

Acts 8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.[/FONT]
