3. Because you did not know the day of your visitation
There were many things that had been prophesied that the Israelites should have seen. It was inexcusable that by the time of the crucifixion they were not fully convinced that Jesus Christ was the Messiah.
Luke 19:44 and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
Once you knew that Jesus was the Messiah then you knew that Jerusalem would be destroyed by Titus.
Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
How did they miss this? There were wise men that came, the whole city was in an uproar when they heard that the Messiah had been born, Daniel's prophecy had to have been something they were aware of so they knew this was the right time frame. There was a horrible massacre that took place of little kids that the entire country must have been aware of. Two people in the temple prophesied of Jesus being the Messiah. John the Baptist was the child of a priest and his birth must have also been a very big sign to the nation.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
The Lord's ministry was a huge sign
Deuteronomy 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
Examine Jesus' History
It is outrageous these phony "experts" telling people "nothing good comes out of Nazareth" just like today where these phony experts tell us that "no one knows the day or the hour". They pretend to know Jesus' background yet know nothing at all.
Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Matthew 2:14-15 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Big Sign
Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Luke 23:18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas.
When I heard these people at the Stop the Steal rallies being called "deplorables" I knew I had to check it out. Jesus was a deplorable. When they declared that those who are unvaccinated were "othered" and would become the offscouring of all things I knew that being one with the unvaccinated was where Jesus was.
Psalm 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
Mark 14:10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
The January 6th false flag event, the betrayal of the deep state, the two impeachments, the Mueller investigation. All of this shows you who Judas is. All of their attacks tell you what the false prophet is most concerned with.
Zechariah 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
Matthew 26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
There are two groups, those without morals, without any guiding principles other than to take bribes, and then there are those who walk by faith. Election fraud was carried out with bribes, it is very clear that this was something of this corrupt religion and false prophets.
Zechariah 11:13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
Matthew 27:5-7 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
With His stripes we are healed
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Matthew 27:26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
He was numbered with the transgressors
Isaiah 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Matthew 27:38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
He was pierced
Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
They gave me vinegar to drink
Psalm 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
John 19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
They cast lots upon my vesture
Psalm 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
Mark 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
Not one of His bones is broken
Psalm 34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs.
Buried in a rich man's tomb
Isaiah 53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Matthew 27:57-60 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
