King of the Jews

Was Jesus an "eccentric Rabbi" and leader of a small religious group or was he the rightful king of Judea and therefore the faithful of Israel?

The whole story of Jesus is the story of a King being born, being hailed as the Highest son of David, taking the kingdom from an apostate group who sat in the seat of Moses and appointing that kingdom to His Little flock.

Did the Jews accept Jesus as king?

Thousands did accept Him and some Jews reject He who was proclaimed the Highest son of David and some said they had no King but Caesar. To call him Christ is to call him the anointed King, the Messiah. Yes, the Kingdom of God is different from the kingdoms of the world of Pontius Pilate.

Why Doesn't Judaism Accept the Christian Messiah?

There are at least four common reasons that Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah besides the obvious reason which the Pharisees displayed.

1. Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).

The temple was never to be built of dead stone. It was meant to be in you, in your heart and in your mind, in the midst of you.The temple was to be built of "living stones".

2. Gather all Jews back to Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).

It was to usher in a gathering of the faithful Jews to Israel which is simply the "place where God prevails". The apostles were faithful Jews and most of the people who were willing to get the Baptism Of Jesus at Pentecost were also Jews. Many of the people who were a part of the lost tribes of Israel were also followers of Jesus as the Christ/Messiah. The "seed" would be all the descendants of faith of Abraham who had eyes to see and ears to hear. They will have the character of Christ written in their hearts by God and willing to do those things taught by Jesus and Moses. There was an in gathering in a network of Tens which was commanded by Christ that reached beyond the Roman Empire.

3. An era of peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering, and disease. This Nation appointed by the Messiah would be one of peace. (Isaiah 2:4)

Early Christians were a nation of people dedicated to peace. They not only did not covet their neighbor's goods like the Corban of the Pharisees and Rome but they did not raise up arms against those who opposed them. And those who actively persecuted them continued to decline and fall while Christian communities thrived. Eventually, a false Christianity would rise up, persecute Jews and Christians, make war, return to covetous practices and become entangled in the elements of the world and a yoke of bondage.

The knowledge of God and The Way reached all over the world by that network but many reject that knowledge because they do not have eyes to see nor ears to hear.

4. "God will be King over all the world... His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9). While the Jews that opposed Jesus as the Messiah claimed they had no King but Caesar, the Jews who accepted Christ said there is another King, one Jesus. Tyrants fell and Christians prospered. If people would repent the power of the world would again diminish and liberty under God would prevail in the world again.

Some will add to this that there needed to be a resurrection of the dead. Of course, there was a resurrection of the dead both spiritually and physically.

Those who became followers of Christ and did what he commanded were literally the new Jews or citizens of Judea. The ministers of His Kingdom worked daily in the temple rightly dividing the bread from house to house. Those who rejected Jesus as the King called themselves Jews but they were not.

"Bishops, presbyters(Elder) and deacons occupy in the church the same positions as those which were occupied by Aaron, his sons, and the Levites in the temple." Jerome, Ep. 146. Both the Levites and the early Church appointed by Christ were "called out" to be a peculiar people who were to serve those who would repent and seek the ways of God.

When Jesus told his disciples "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple." the word hath meant their property. Luke 14:33

Both the early Church ministers appointed by the Christ and the Levites owned property but they held it in common as join heirs because the ordained ministers of the Church or "called out" and the "called out" of Moses were to belong to God and serve the people who depended on charity rather than force to provide the welfare or Pure Religion of God.

The Legal definition of the Church was also a group of people called out to serve with "corporate elements". They were the corpus of Christ, appointed by Him, for His purposes, and in one accord. That body of ministers holding all things in common were called out and gathered to serve the society in Free Assemblies.

Rome steadily declined in a well-populated Europe and Asia. There were many attempts to raise up new Nimrods and Babylon... But many people lived in Peace with no real threat of world domination. After a thousand years, the adversary was unchained. Now the whole world is back in bondage, numbered and serve governments that abort children by the millions to the chagrin of modern Moleck.

Most Modern Christians and Jews violate the Ten Commandments regularly as a matter of policy both their covetous practices and systems of Corban. This and their lack of Pure Religion is why they have returned to the bondage of Egypt. They have coveted the wages of unrighteousness provided by the gods of the world who they covenant with to get benefits at the expense of their neighbor.
