On Why The Israelites Reject Jesus
Part 2
Preamble
It is not for the servant to dictate for the
master,
what should be done.
Rather, as is fitting, it is the master that dictates
for the servant,
what should be done.
Again, the servant does not question his master
with the intention to blame.
Instead, the servant does whatever is the wish
of His master.
And I add, I warning notice, to all:
Enter the banquet hall,
before the gate is closed.
Time is running out.
Once the gate is closed,
it is no longer possible to enter in.
John 6:60-69
1.
Many Disciples Turned
Away from Jesus. Refer to the record of John, how multitudes left Jesus when He
offered His body to them. It shows that Israelites even rejected Jesus while He
was with them.
First, let us read what
transpired between Jesus and the Israelites.
26 Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I
say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the
signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not labor for the food which perishes,
but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will
give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."
John 6:26-27
32 Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to
you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the
true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives
life to the world."
34 Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread
always."
35 And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He
who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who
believes in Me shall never thirst…
John 6:32-35
52 The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying,
"How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?"
53 Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to
you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have
no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will
raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink
indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in
him. 57 As the
living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me
will live because of Me. 58 This is the
bread which came down from heaven — not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live
forever."
John 6:52-58
The above narrative
shows that Israelites were not spiritually awake, enlightened and experienced. The
three wise men from the east (India, Persia And China), were so spiritually
awake, enlightened and experienced that they were able to recognize the fact
that God was visiting the world. And they made preparations, and traveled long
distance to go to Israel to welcome Him and offer their gift.
As the man who saw God
face to face, I say that people not only seek to see and hear God, but should
strive to eat His body and drink His blood in order to live forever. I have not
only seen and heard the Lord. I have also eaten His body and drank His blood. Now,
and thenceforth, and even from everlasting to everlasting, I not only have life
but also give abundant life to whoever that is ready and willing to receive if
free. All your logics, reasons, arguments and unbelief remain what they are –
irrelevancies.
2. On the issue of the central belief of
Judaism, which is the absolute unity and singularity of God, - "Hear
Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one."
The Israelites
are not right in their belief. Certainly, God is one. However, the same God
manifests Himself in various forms. I have seen and met God in over thrity (30)
different forms – the same God in different phases. Therefore, unity, trinity
and multipliicity of God are correct, just as one person can appear in so many
different dresses. The dresses do not change the person. The person appears in
diferent forms, and is still one person. In the Bible, God spoke about His
various forms saying,
But I
did not show them myself as Jehova…x:y,z
For the
Israelites or Torah to rule out a trinitarian God is not correct, because I
have seen God as Holy Trinity – the same God as Almighty Father, Almighty Love
(Jesus Christ) and Almighty Presence (Holy Spirit). This is the Truth, and Truth rmains what it is whether you believe it or
not.
3. They do not believe Jesus because a Messiah
who is killed before completing the task failed.
To
everyday human understading, Jesus may appear to have failed because He died on
the cross. Yet, spiritually, it was His death that brought the everlasting
victory for the people of God. Knowing the truth about God and life is not
obtained by human reasoning or logic, but by the teachings from the Holy
Spirit.
4.
Jews expected
the Messiah to fulfill the messianic prophecies of the Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel. According
to prophet Isaiah, the Messiah should be a paternal descendant of King David
via King Solomon.
Jesus is a
descendant of Abraham and David. That is why He is the Lion of the Tribe of
Judah.
5.
Rather
than being redeemed, the Jews were subsequently exiled from Israel. They
believe Jesus caused (nations) to destroy Israel by sword, to scatter their
remnants and to humiliate them.
The Israelites
were exiled and persecuted because they failed to recognize God when He visited
them. And that was why Jesus wept, because the exile and persecution could have
been prevented. But the jews made it unavoidable.
34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the
prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I
wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her
wings, but you were not willing! 35 See!
Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not
see Me until the time comes when you say, 'Blessed is
He who comes in the name of the LORD!'"
Luke 13:34-35
And I warn them
that a greater destruction, even everlasting doom, awaits those who would not
accept God as saviour.
6.
According
to the Torah, the
condition for a person to be considered a prophet of God in
Judaism is that he must not advocate changes to God's word.
Actually,
changes were made to the worship, laws and commandments of God. But those
changes were not made by Jesus. He even said that He did not come to abolish
them.
17 “Do not think
that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but
to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to
you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle
will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least
of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom
of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven.
Matthew
5:17-19
The changes
which have been made in the worship of God were made by the anti-Christ,
without the priests knowing that anti-Christ was at work. And there are so many
such unauthorized changes. The priests wer not
spiritually awake, enlightened and experienced. And I add that nobody is
qualified to teach about God and life if he has not studied spiritual science.
As is compulsory, the churches and schools should introduce spiritual science.
7. Judaism
does not share the Christian concept of salvation, as the israelites do not
believe that people are born in a "state of sin".
The Israelites say this because they
are not spiritually developed and advanced. Indeed, people are dead without
knowing it. The everyday life you experience here on earth is not the original
life intended by God for His people. It is an illusion and a fae one. And I
confrim what Jesus said, “Leave the dea to bury their own dead (leave the
spiritually lazy ones to continue in their foolishness).” People are not only
dead. They are also lame, dumb, deaf and paralysed, even without knowing it.
Truly, I say to you that I have not only seen God face to face. Also, I saw God
face to face and became God, even one with the Almighty. Can you now understand
how far behind humanity are on the ladder of spiritual development. Humanity
have fallen from glory to grass, and it takes sacrifce to restore them to the
original glory, just as somebody must sacrifice to pay for a helpless debtor.
8.
The human mind has no power to reach the
thoughts of the Creator, for his thoughts and ways are unlike ours.
People
do not know the power of God. It is easy for the saints to know the thoughts of
God, by telepathy, which is called the inspirtion of the Holy Spirit. In fact,
in heaven, people communiate by thoughts only. You see and hear thoughts of
oithers as loud as you hear the spoken word. You are able to read the mind of
others, and they as well read your own thoughts.
9.
Jesus Did Not Fulfill the Messianic
Prophecies, which are:
Specifically,
the Bible says the messaih will:
·
Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel
37:26-28).
·
Gather all Jews back to the Land of
Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).
·
Usher in an era of world peace, and end
all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall
not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore."
(Isaiah 2:4)
·
Spread universal knowledge of the God of
Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King
over all the world ― on that day, God will be One and His Name will be
One" (Zechariah 14:9).
One, it
is not must
that the fulfilment take place in the order in which they are listed above.
Two, peole should understand that God does things by due
process. That is why evolution is the
long process of creation. God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, but it
took many years and diverse experiences before that was accomplished.
Three,
among all the men of God that lived, irrespective of their religions and tribes
or languages, it is only Jesus that is spreading the universal knowledge of God
to the ends of the world, by taking several people to heaven. The people come
back to write, publish and distribute the experiences and teachings thye have
had.
10.Because no one has fulfilled the Bible's
description of messaih, Jews still await the coming of the Messiah.
The
truth is this. There is no other Messiah. And it is God Almighty that came down
on earth to die and save a lost world. What is even surprising is that the
israelites and religious leaders talk about God and life without studying spiritual
science. How can a person teach what he does not know? Or, give what he does
not have?
11.Messiah should
be a Prophet.
Prophecy is the distinguishing characteristics of
God. God is God of Prophecy, and He is a Prophet. What other proof do they
want?
12. Prophecy
ended upon the death of the last prophets ―
Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. TheIsraelites say that
Jesus appeared on the scene approximately 350 years after prophecy had ended,
and therefore could not be a prophet.
…
13.As evident in history, thousands of
religions have been started by individuals, who attempted to convince people
that he was God's true prophet. The israelites believe that personal revelation
is an extremely weak basis for a religion.
This is the
height of stupidity. Even, Judaism started with only Moses before God met with
Israelites on Mount Sinai. So, if one man alone cannot start a religion, then
the religion of Judaism is fabrication by the people of Israel. They are bearing
witness against themselves. And it is dangerous.
14.Even if the individual claiming personal
revelation performs miracles, the miracles do not prove he is a genuine
prophet.
Judaism stared
with signs and wonders on monut Sinai, where Moses saw the burning bush. All
these are human reasoning, which the Angels call what they are – irrelevancies.
Is God is no longer a God of signs and wonders? He gave Moses miracles so that
the israelites would believe and follow him, and they believed and followed
Moses out of Egypt.
15.Judaism, as unique among all of the
world's major religions, does not rely on "claims of miracles" as the
basis for its religion.
They do not rely
on miracles. And that was why they failed in the time of Jesus. They did not
believe the good works God did in their midst through Jesus. A true people of
God should be able to understand when God is moving and follow suit. Not to
seat back and be critising the good works of God, to their
own deceit and detriment. A servant who cannot recognize his master is a
trustworhy servant.
16.Of the thousands of religions in human
history, only Judaism bases its belief on national revelation ― i.e. God
speaking to the entire nation. If God is going to start a religion, it makes
sense He will tell everyone, not just one person.
This is another
show of studpidity, because Judaism started with one person, Moses, on mountain
Sinai. God does not need a majority to
start His good work.
· Abarham
alone was called out of his father’s land, and not with all the Israleites.
· Joseph
alone went to Egpt and became
ruler, not with all Israelites.
· Gideon
started his great exploits with only an Angel, not with all the people of
Israelites.
· Saul
became king when he met Prophet Samuel, who anointed him king, not before the
entire people.
· David
was anointed king in his
father’s house, not in the public.
· King solomon became their king without God appearing to all the
people of Israelites.
· Isaiah
became a prophet of God, not by the presence of multitudes.
· Ezekiel
became a prophet, alone, and not with populations.
· Jeremiah
became a prophet of all nations, in privacy, not in the public gathering.
If the
Israelites believed all these men of God and their works, they should have
believed Jesus. And I add, they are still proving
stubborn to their own deceit and detriment. Those who reject Jesus end up in
the hell fire. Every kingdom has one common identiy for its citizens. Jesus is
the only one idenetity for the kingdom of God.
The Israelites
should answer this question: A man has so many children who have gone out to
his farm and he wants to call them back home. Does the man send out all his
servants or just one servant to call all the chidren back home?
Surely, he sends
only one servant. This suffices, and a word is enough for the wise.
17.The
Israelites based their beliefs on the Revelation at Mount Sinai, which they saw
with their own eyes and heard with their own ears, and not dependent on the
testimony of others.
The problem with
the world is that it is not God, who does not want people to see and hear Him.
Instead, it is people that refuse to see and hear God by their everyday
actions.
If the
nations of the worlld are ready to live in righteousness, God would appear in
their midst from time to time.
“The Messiah has
come,” says the man who saw God face to face.
“and is still doing His glorious works of salvation and
restoration,
by
evolution, which is the long process of creation.
There is no
other Messiah.”
