WHY DON’T TODAY’S JEWISH RABBI’S BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST IS THE PROMISED MESSIAH THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR? [3 of 3] Imagine what would happen in our time if Jesus came along to challenge the powerful politicians running the world. How would they handle Him bringing up all their corruption and outright evil? Would they embrace Him? Most likely, no. They would try to save face, and preserve their ill-gotten wealth, which means they would council their nations to distrust Jesus Christ (actually, they already do). In fact, they would probably claim Christ is an intolerant liar who incites violence, hoping that would lead to the people somehow eliminating Him. It was no different two centuries ago when the rabbi’s were concerned about losing their authority to Jesus, and facing serious retribution from the people they had been ruthlessly controlling through thousands of rabbinic laws. Back then, the power was in the hands of religious leaders (the rabbi’s) who decided to crucify Jesus. And it would probably be the same reaction among our powerful politicians today. Those who had Jesus eliminated centuries ago didn't like the fact that He was jeopardizing the money, position, appreciation, and authority that the Jewish people had given the corrupt leaders. So, regardless of over three hundred Old Testament prophecies that Jesus was fulfilling, as well as all the miracles He performed to prove He is God, the Jewish leaders decided to turn the people against Christ, having Him killed so they could retain all they had. And two thousand years later in modern Judaism, the Jewish leadership is still pushing Jesus aside: They won’t even entertain the question of whether Jesus is the Messiah, which makes rabbinic writings extremely biased against Jesus, and they won’t allow Jews to decide about Christ for themselves—rabbi’s spread the assumption that “no good Jew” should even read the New Testament. So, their current policy on Jesus Christ allows no exploration of the truth, just the blind leading the blind. Still today, Judaism’s leaders don’t want anyone to learn about Jesus, and this follows two thousand years of Jewish rabbi’s covering up the truth about the most famous Jew in the history of mankind. Throughout the centuries and even up to today, Jesus has been the most recognizable name ever, and He is written about in history’s most read book. Yet, Christ remains Judaism’s unrecognized Messiah and its most widely held secret.
