Now Revealed: The True History of the Early Christian Church - Chapter V - May 1967

Ronald D Kelly

It seems almost incredible the Jews rejected Jesus Christ when He came. They had been looking for the Messiah for hundreds of years. It had been four hundred years since the completion of the Old Testament writings, and TIMES WERE RIGHT for His appearance. More than ever, the Roman suppression caused the Jews to look for their prophesied Savior. By the time Christ was born, the Jewish people had served the Romans sixty years. They, more than all the other nations in the empire, desired to be free — not only free — but to be THEMSELVES rulers of the world. The prophets had written of a KING who would deliver them from bondage and set them on the pinnacle of world government. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
