Bible Question: Isn't the jewish people still awaiting their messiah? What is it that prevents them from recognizing Jesus and the new testament? |
Bible Answer: Perhaps one of the strongest reasons for this that immediatly comes to my mind is found in Isaiah. Ch. 63 and Ch. 40:3-5 They all speak about the second coming of the messiah. However many Jews believe this will be how the messiah comes first. With all his glory and might laying his wrath upon the earth and those that are not his elect. How do we know this isnt the case? That answer is in Isaiah too, ch. 7:14 and ch. 9:6-7. Probably the biggest reason they dont believe is because Jesus pretty much broke them when he came. He did things they didnt believe he should do and exposed them for what they were. He went so far as to make a whip and clearing out the temple. |
