101. Jews Persistant Against Christ ~ The Son of David
"After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: For He would not
walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill Him." ~ John 7:1
From the start, when Jesus first cleansed the temple at the beginning of his
ministry according to the Gospel of John, 'The Jews' were set against him and
did seek to kill him.
The Isrealite Hebrews of Galilee, being distinguished from the 'Jews of
Jerusalem' (though all 'known' Israelites of this date were refered to as
'Jews' whether their ancestry was from Judah or from another son of Jacob),
would have made Jesus King of Isreal because of his deallings with them about
the lands of the Sea of Galilee. In this respect, it ought to be established
that the cliquish 'Jews' of Jerusalem were quite particular and would even
tend to discriminate against the Hebrews of Israel as well as all those of
other lands who claimed to be of the house of Israel. While this
discrimination is more particularly and generally spoken of as applying
directly against the Samaritans, Jerusalem's nearest Hebrew neighbor, they
also practiced such discriminary manners against the Grecians (Hebrew Greeks),
Galilians and all the numbers of the 'Jews' or 'Hebrews' of other lands. And
this was particularly the case if those Hebrews did not profess a direct
descent as a proper 'Jew', meaning of the house of Judah and those acceptable
of the priests of Levi, which were those assigned to minister unto the Jews
of the tribe of Judah.
The Jewish Rulers take a hardline against Jesus Christ the Son of Daivd, who
ought to be the rightful King of the Jews. And they do this in connection
with the House of Herod, that throne of Israel to which Jesus was heir and
the Herods were but pretenders unto. This hardline of opposition was not
solely against Jesus, but it was also a stance of the Jews against the House
of David and their rejection of both Christ and the House of David as being
rightfully of the Jews.
Who Then Is My Neighbor?
Say We Not Well That Though Art a Samaritan?
Say not that he was the King of the Jews!
The King of Israel not Judah.
The Lord of Ephraim
