1 | Every nation from Noah's son? | Bible general Archive 2 | following him | 122988 | ||
Let me start with the miracles Jesus performed. When Jesus performed a miracle at least for the Jews He often told them not to spread it around, ex. the leper Matt 8:4, the blind man Matt 9:30, dead child Mark 5:43, Deaf Man Mark 7:36 and even multitudes Matt 12:15,16. Jesus Tried to keep word about Himself from spreading around. The only people He seems not to give that admonision to were the Gentiles He healed. Jesus keeps demons from delaring Him to be the Son of God Mark 3:12 and Luke 4:41 When he cast them out He commanded them not to speak out Who He was. Peter's confession. Matt 16:13-20 "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God" Jesus said that it was His Father that had revealed that to them but also told them not to tell anyone that He was the Christ. The transfiguration. Matt 17:9 On their way down the mountian Jesus admonished The four disciples with Him not to disclose the vision to anyone until after Christ had been raised from the dead. Jesus Speaks in parables. Many christians have the misunderstanding that Jesus spoke parables to the multitudes to give them an easy way to understand the kingdom of God. But that's not true if we read to account Mark 4:11,12 Jesus explains that it was given to the disciples to understand but not to the multitudes. Mark 4:33,34 Mark writes that Jeseus did not speak to the multitude without parables but explained everything to His disciples. The prophecy Jesus quotes indicates that he spoke the parables so that They would hear about the Kingdom of God but not understand. They were not allowed by God to understand: Is.6:9. The only time Jesus let them know He was the Christ was at His trial before the high priest so that they could acuse Him of blasphemy. Of those who believed in Him after the miracle of feeding 5000 they all left when He told them they must eat his flesh and drink His blood. John 6:66. Of those who believed after Laz. being raised. many of those were also yelling criucify Him before Pilot. Luke 23. How many disciples were left after Jesus was crucified read Acts 1:12- 2:1. Very few Although many may had believed in Him while He was alive but for one reason or another most of them left. The reason They were not allowed to know Who Christ was can be found in 1 Cor 1:23- 2:8. The main verse being 2:8 "If they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory." If Jesus had made Himself know to them they would have tried to set Him up as King. They even tried once John 6:14,15, but Jesus didn't come to rule as king He came to redeem mankind. Heb 12:2 "For the joy set before Him He endured the cross" If Jesus had not been crucified where would we be now. We would all still be dieing in our sins seperated from our Heavenly Father. |

Just don't forget from Jesus's birth starting with Herod the King Matthew 2v1-3kjv the jews were aware of Jesus and Herod tried to destroy him. They desired an earthly king not a heavenly one. | ||||||

You are right they knew That a king was born but they did not know who it was this is why Herod had ALL the male children two years and under killed. Another point about Jesus deliberately hiding His identity from the Jews is the discussion between Jesus and Peter. Jesus told him that it was God who revealed to him that Jesus was the Son of God. Jesus also told them not to reveal that to anyone. But He also said that it was on that that He would build His church. It was on not only Peter's statement that He was the Son of God but on the revelation of this truth. The jews were looking for an earthly king they were not looking for it to be the Son of God. This revelation that would make them part of the church He kept from them. He specifically instructed His deciples to keep it to themselves; here and on the mount of transfiguration. The Jews at this time were specifically stopped by God from receiving the truth in order to be saved. After Jesus was raised from the dead is a different matter. Jesus did not come to evangelize he came to redeem. He left the evangelizing to those he trained to do it. | ||||||

Just keep in mind Herod did not know exactly which child was the messiah but he knew who he plotted out to kill. He shows how much so he wanted to complete this task by the actions he took. The key is that the wise men said we seek his whereabouts so they could worship him this was what invoked and sturred up not only herod but "all jerusalem with him"kjv math 2v3. This is all from the beginning shows their overall unbelief as prophecies were being fullfilled before their eyes mathew 3 vs 17-18. Also read John chapter 10 my friend referred me to this in hopes of you seeing that they did know who he was he plainly states it in this chapter.. good luck thanks for the discussion.....peter22 | ||||||

You are right. They knew that the messiah had been born. But they didn't know it was Jesus. Just as today we believe that the "Anti-christ" is alive now but we have no idea who it is. Can you point to one man and say this is the one? This is the point Jesus did not let them know that He was "THE" Son of God. If He did would He be a hypocrite after telling His disciples not to tell anyone, or shutting the mouth's of demons so they wouldn't tell? About John 10; even here Jesus does not tell them and they still do not know. Verses 1-6 This is a parable that left them all just as confused as before. "...This figure of speech (parable) Jesus spoke to them, but they did not understand what those things were which He had been saying to them." Parenthesis added. Verses 7-21 This part only deepened the confussion and and started arguing about whether Jesus had a demon or not. Verses 22-40 they asked Him "How long will you keep us in suspense?" they still didn't know even after all that Jesus had taught and the miracles He performed. But when He said "I and the Father are one." They tried to stone Him. Their perception was He was making Himself out to be God. But Jesus Gave them scripture in reference to that statment (Ps 82:6) which indicates that all of them were son's of God and that He was including Himself in that verse. Was Jesus telling them He was the Son of God? I would have to admit YES! But in a way that was ambiguous and would make sure they didn't get it. Just like the parables spoke the truth but also hid it. Jesus even here in John 10 does the same He didn't want them to know. Luke 19:42-44 "... saying, "If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side, and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation." They did not recognize the day that the messiah would come riding into Jerusalem on a donkey if they knew Jesus to be the Messiah why even after the crowd yells Hosanna in the highest does Jesus speak over them that they had not recognized it. |
