It never ever fails. Christian proselytizing ALWAYS ultimately rests on the threat of violence. In the end that's all you have. It's the same mentality as the mafia.
No, it is the truth. No one is forcing you. But Salvation comes from nothing else.
YESHUA, the Great I AM said this:
Exodus 3:13-14
Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?
God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
Israelites then as now have trouble believing. Weird eh?
Sure!
Exodus 32:9
And the Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people!
Jesus further said this to the conniving Rabbis of His Day in John 8:24:
“I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”
BUT...eventually some Jews will wise up at the end (1/3 of them)
Zechariah 12:10
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.”
And...
David says this in Psalm 110:1
Of David. A psalm. The LORD says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”
Who is David’s Lord?
Who is the first Lord?
Hmmmmm.....
Do we want to talk about Isaiah 53 now?
How about Daniel’s “Seventy” sevens?
Well maybe so:
Daniel 9:26
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Do the math, the real math. Nisan 10, 33 AD Jesus walked into Jerusalem and proclaimed Messiah by the people and that was the end of the 69th week/seven of Daniel 9:25.
And we get to Romans 11:11. Jews continuing to stumble in spiritual blindness leads to jealousy.
“I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.”
