Question for Jews: Will you accept Jesus Christ if he comes for the second time?

There have been many dreams and visions among Christians and Muslims about second coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus was a Jew and his avowed mission was to retrieve the lost sheep of children of Israel. He was bestowed with earth shattering miracles, but the Jews did not accept him as a messenger of God . Because they were hard pressed by slavery of the Romans and wanted a Messiah who could liberate them. But Jesus wanted them to follow God's commands to win again His favor, so that He has mercy on them and free them from slavery. With hindsight, it was all a matter of priorities.
Now over 2000 years have passed. No Jewish prophet has come nor the diaspora has effectively ended. Would it not be a good idea to repent and accept authority of Jesus to rule from seat of David.?Prophet Muhammad has prophesied that when Jesus will rule the world, the earth will be blessed with bounty and peace. A cow will give so much milk that it will suffice a tribe and an apple will grow that could fill the stomachs of a whole family. Would you like to avail this last chance of repentance ?

Hi Kismet. What Christians think of Jesus is of no concern to us. The question is from Jews, would they give him another chance to explain his mission or reject him outright, as they did before?

The Jesus I am talking about will fulfill all the prophesies about return of Jews to Jerusalem and will also establish a just order which Christians call Kingdom of God on earth, but it will be same just and honest leadership as the Jews have seen in the era of David and Solomon. All nations will accept him as
their rightful ruler.

Question is, will Jews accept and recognize him when he comes and explains his mission or after he has estblished himself as ruler of the world?

My heart bleeds, you did not accept him because he came as a pauper and with no worldly power.Will you accept him this time or wait till he gains control of the world?I am afraid, at that time this option may not be available!

AlChaim JP!

I am talking about religion and not philosophy. Waht about prophecy Jesus made about destruction of temple of David and his words came true in that not one stone remained on the other, exactly as he said. And the diaspora which continued nearly for 2000 years. A messenger of God cannot speak on his own, but only says what he is askded to say.

I am getting disappointed. I have great respect for the intelligence and knowledge of Jews, but I am afraid, here I am talking to closed minds and closed eyes. It does not matter at all what Christians think of Jesus. The question is, if Jesus was a real messenger of God, who came with a program of salvation for Jews, how would they justify their refusal to accept him. Those familiar with 16th Century Feudal history of Europe, even a small feudal lord would not send his son to the door of a peasent, but an ordinary soldier or even a peon and the peasent will take his orders seriously and rush to his lord, leaving everything behind. But God Almighty, Who created, sustained and protected the Jewish nation and killed hundreds of kings and destroyed dozens of nations for them, sends His messenger to guide them to His true path, yet they reject him outright and still claim to be the chosen people. Choice always goes with responsibility and never with rejection and lax attitude.

Your anger is misdirected. I am asking Jews, Christian beliefs do not even have any relevance. As a 21st century educated Jews, who have reason and independent thinking, can they consider Jesus in light of his words and give him a chance to prove that He is the promised Messiah. Because if you reject Him, without even listening to him, you will automatically align yourselves with his enemies. If he was sent by God, the proof of which would be his second coming, then rejecting him will end your chances of redemption. How one person can make the world a bastion of peace and tranquality, unless he is supported by a sizeable population and your demanding him to do that without giving him your support is like putting the cart before horse. A religious leader, like any other leader, draws his strength from his supporters. Every nation has erred in one period, but to make the new generation hostage of it would not be a prudent thing, in my humble opinion

GERSHON B. All I am trying is to see things rationally. Take Hindu Avtars for example. As it does not suit a just God to deprive any section of His creation of true guidance, some of them might have been prophets sent for their guidance, who with passage of time became Avtars, that is God incarnated. A sect of Muslims considers Ali, cousin of Muhammad, to be God incarnated. But that does not reduce his worth among rest of the Muslim nation. If Jesus was a prophet and is believed as son of God, how it can free the rest of the humanity to give him a fresh look, when he returns?

A correction.Pls. read the last sentence
as follows: How it can free rest of the humanity from the responsibility of having a fresh look at what he says, on his return.

As a 21st century educated Jew who has reason and independent thinking, I have considered the book the christians use and realize that there are so many flaws in it that no intelligent person would accept it. It's a typical christian ploy to say Jews are blinded when that section in Isaiah talks about GENTILES, not Jews.

Your restating the facts into "What if it were true?" does not change this.

So, I'll ask you this question. If you studied the Torah and found many things that disagreed with the book the christians use that are fundamental to your beliefs, would you reject it?

Oh, and you are mistaken that no Jewish prophets have come. It's clear you don't even understand the definition of a prophet. Maybe you should get the basics down before suggesting Jews are not intelligent.

You are לו שכל. Surely, as a supposedly intelligent xtian, you will understand that. Oh, and if you think it's insulting, then you don't understand it. It's a simple statement of fact.

I'm sorry you are so misguided and misinformed.

It's very obvious why Jews don't and will not believe in jesus. As a few people here said, he did NOT fulfill the prophesies written in the torah. And, he does not qualify as Moshiach.

Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah because:

1) Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies.
2) Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah.
3) Biblical verses "referring" to Jesus are mistranslations.
4) Jewish belief is based on national revelation.

Jesus was not a prophet. He was a preacher. Prophecy can only exist in Israel when the land is inhabited by a majority of world Jewry. During the time of Ezra (circa 300 BCE), when the majority of Jews refused to move from Babylon to Israel, prophecy ended upon the death of the last prophets -- Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi.

What's very important is the fact that Jesus appeared on the scene approximately 350 years after prophecy had ended.

The man the christians worship may have been a good person, and he may have taught many good things. But he was not the Messiah for whom we await and have long awaited. He may have been crucified, and that's a horrible thing. But that merely proves to us that he was not the Messiah.

Jesus did not fulfill any of the basic duties of the Messiah.

You really need to pick up the REAL book, the Torah and the Tanakh and see what and who G-d is, read the prophesies and then you will see you are misguided with your thoughts.

But, no matter. Your original question was Jews, will we accept jesus if he comes a second time? NO.

short answer, no. even your bible says that Jesus would return within the lifetime of Jesus' deciples, that didn't happen, so obviously it was just a cleverly crafted fairytale. If you dont believe he was supposed to return in short order, you obviously dont trust the gospels and as such are not (by definition) a christian. The Messiah (Moshiach) concept is rather shaky anyway, personally i dont think its real since the only ACTUAL mention of THE messiah is in the Talmud, which is a fiction written by exiled babylonian Jews. they also took that time to alter the Torah, which is now just as adulterated as any religious scripture i can think of. for instance, animal sacrifice is a universally pagan concept (stay for some schools of hinduism) yet it is included in the torah as a normal practice, when at the same time torah is consistently anti-pagan in every imaginable way. worshipping in forests is forbidden, tattoos, boiling a kidd in its mother's milk etc etc. so you see what im saying

Just like you said, there is no doubt that Jesus (pbuh) is returning and there is no doubt that the anti-Christ will come to deceive many people before his return. It's not exactly who Jesus (pbuh) accepts, but rather who of US accepts him when he returns. That part is up to us, we get to choose whether we accept him or not. And our faith will determine our choice because those who are weak in faith will follow the anti-Christ instead, may Allah protect us from him and his corruptions. From what I know through many lectures, the majority that will follow Jesus (pbuh) will be Muslims true to their faith, and also some Christians who see the truth once he returns. But even many Muslims who are weak in faith will end up following the anti-Christ because he is very deceptive with his powers. The bottom line is, those who truly believe in One God and do not associate Jesus (pbuh) or anyone else to Him will see the truth inshallah and will be the ones who accept Jesus (pbuh). Those are the people with such strong faith that makes them aware of the deceptions of the anti-Christ. To my Muslim brothers and sisters, take the opportunity to memorize the first and last 10 verses of Surat al-Kahf so that if we live in the era of the Dajjal and Isa (as), we will be protected from the deceptions and be on Jesus' side! Salaam~
