And that’s it in a nutshell. And they also killed practically all the prophets that announced His coming. When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!” And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”
The owner of the world’s biggest pornography-provider is a rabbi! When the US Supreme Court ruled that abortion was no longer a constitutional right, three hundred rabbis announced that Jews considered it a natural right (rite?) for themselves. Of course there are righteous Jews…but they’re very scarce or very quiet.
I read somewhere (a history book? Mystical literature?) that the powerful corrupt Sanhedrin actually chose a “messiah “ at about the same time that Jesus was born- one of their own, a sickly little boy, the son of one of their members. He boy died at an early age. To their minds the messiah would have to be one of their own, and born in the splendor of Jerusalem- how could God dispose otherwise? But God chose a humble carpenter and a little girl - the perfect flower of humanity,completely unknown to the world, the immaculate conception, the sum of all perfections to bring the messiah into this desolate world. And he was to be born in Galilee of all places! A backward province so far removed from the glory of Jerusalem and its temple and the pompous Sanhedrin. could those treacherous arrogant vipers in the Sanhedrin recognize him!!? How could they not reject him and try to destroy him? and they will level you to the ground, and throw down 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.” Luke 19: 44
