Will Israel ever accept Jesus Christ as it's Messiah?

Post #1

Post by Elijah John »

Will Jews collectively, (Israel), ever accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah? This is what Paul predicted, and what so many Evangelicals seem to hope for.

Is there any evidence that this will happen?

Why would any devout Jew accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah, or their "personal Lord and Savior"?
My theological positions:

-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.

I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

But perhaps Israel has learned to see the messianic in human things rather than in the treacherous divine. Jesus spent most of his divine breath preaching against the Jewish establishment.
For reasons he regarded where presenting GOD inaccurately.
Things are seldom what they seem...
Well until they are, the jury is out.

Of course they will, but probably not all of them…

It is prophesied, in Ezekiel 37, that all of Israel (including the lost 10 tribes) will be resurrected physical in a future event. This event is known as the first thousand years of the reign of the Son of God. The "influence of rebellion" towards God's ways will be removed and all will be taught the truth and what is required to have life beyond the physical.

We would think that "all" would embrace this marvelous gift, but that will not be the case. In Revelation 20:7-9, it is recorded that after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison and will begin to deceive many again (a number as the sands of the sea) for a short time period. It seems that his approach will be the same this time around, as it was from the time of Adam and Eve, introducing false claims, as related to the ways of God and the true Messiah (the Son of God).

So, the probability that most of Israel (Jews) will accept the Son of God as the true Messiah will be high, but not 100%. This will hold true for the remainder of mankind (which are resurrected) as well.

I have the terrifying feeling you believe this. Adam and Eve are poetic characters from Genesis so it doesn't mean much to talk about "their time" unless we are speaking neanderthally. The "approach" then was to survive with one's club.

Hilarious.

Israel won't even allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect their (alleged) nukes and treats the world as something other than itself.

Those in the nation who are looking for their messiah are not looking and have never looked at Jesus as being the one. If they did they might have to change the way they currently handle Palestinians.

Nope. What they want in a messiah is someone who can exert the permanence of their attitude into the world and keep that world a separate entity from Israel.

Separate and by all impressions, inferior.

Certainly historically Christians have not being nice to Jews, so it is hardly likely Israel will bend to the Christian idea of messiah because they are a people who do not forget - fair enough - but also do not forgive, or find ways of solving issues with their enemies which require the ingredient of forgiveness.

They tolerate Christians who support them, but only as a matter of opportunity to further their own agenda (re their messiah) and any christian country willing to give them lots of money isn't going to be openly scorned for that...and will even be labeled a 'friend'...but Israel is not about to become a member of the rest of the world because they view themselves as 'a people apart' as is clearly demonstrated in their lack of cooperation in being accountable and transparent, just like their idea of GOD behaves.

eta; the above is not 'anti-semetism' it is simply narrative of actual events. I for one would welcome any real effort Israel might do to 'be the bigger man' in relation to the middle east conflict, as I wrote about in my essay;

Israel and Palestine.

Is there an amicable solution or is that not really part of either agenda?
