Israel lives to just have peace. This isn’t just the religious Jews but the non religious as well. The Jews believe that Messiah will come and the most important thing is He will bring peace. That is why they are ripe for antichrist.
The Messiah came and Him they did not accept.
John 5:43 – 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
Right now there has been a cease fire between Israel and Gaza. The only reason there was a cease fire is because the terrorists were running low on weapons and rockets and Israel was getting ready to go in with the ground forces to clean up.
Israel is ripe for antichrist. It just wants someone to enforce peace. Is that all the Christ was supposed to do?
No.
The Christ was to come and take away the sins of the world.
John 1 :29 – 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
They have never looked for that Messiah and still aren’t.
In a couple of days we’ll keep on that topic.
