Jewish & Gentile Misunderstanding of Messiah Thru the Bible: Jeremiah / Romans The Jews misunderstood Messiah…His purposes & His kingdom being spiritual and not just natural. God promised a future in their land in safety where Messiah would rule on David’s throne so they assumed such was the only purpose of Messiah. So when He came born of a lowly birth, living the life of a wandering teacher, was condemned to die on a cross which made Him cursed by the law - it completely removed Him from consideration as Messiah in their view. The Jews did not see the suffering of Messiah. As a whole they did not see the time of the Gentiles, nor a later fulfillment of God’s promise to them regarding their land even though it was prophesied many times. In like manner The Gentiles misunderstand salvation. They believe everything culminates in Jesus a Savior alone and that ALL His tpurposes are ONLY spiritual which is also a mistake. Many Gentiles not only fail to see the Millennial reign of Christ, but they believe Jesus has already fulfilled ALL Old Testament prophecies which in fact He has NOT...but He will! If God is NOT going to be found a liar, all prophecy MUST BE FULFILLED and if they have not yet been fulfilled that does not simply ‘suggest’ a future fulfillment - it requires it! Blessings!
