Why the Jews Did Not Accept Jesus—and Why That Matters
Too many Christians spend too much time and energy acting confused, flummoxed, or even offended that the Jewish people did not accept Jesus as the Messiah 2,000 years ago—and haven't since. But their rejection is rooted in scripture. The Jews read the Book of Isaiah and see a description of the Messiah that, in their interpretation, does not align with Jesus.
More importantly, consider the moment when the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. He responded with what became the most famous of all Christian prayers: the Lord’s Prayer. This prayer is not addressed to Jesus, but taught by Jesus—the eternal High Priest—to God the Father.
The prayer says, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." In essence, it is a plea for God to come and become King on Earth.
The Deeper Meaning of the Lord’s Prayer
Many Christians recite this prayer but interpret it in radically different ways. Imagine the Jews in Egypt praying for liberation from slavery—without fully grasping the magnitude of what they were asking for. Similarly, the Lord’s Prayer is a prophetic pointer. Through it, Jesus directs his followers not to himself as king, but toward the same figure the Jews have long awaited: the King of Kings, one who will establish peace and prosperity across the earth.
Jesus himself does not seem surprised that the Jews didn’t recognize him as the long-awaited Messiah. Yet many Christians remain troubled by this rejection.
This calls for humility. The more than 300 Old Testament prophecies fulfilled by Jesus only became evident in hindsight. Likewise, prophecies not yet fulfilled require patience, open-mindedness, and a deep humility.
The Messiah the Jews Await
The Lord’s Prayer calls on God the Father—Yahweh—to become King on Earth. But many Jews don’t realize their long-awaited Messiah is, in fact, Yahweh in human form.
They say the Messiah will be born in the line of David. But that prophecy has already been fulfilled—in Jesus. That part of the story is complete. What remains is the final act: the arrival of God Himself as King, as prophesied.
This is where interfaith dialogue becomes essential. Dialogue allows for deeper understanding across traditions—and can help clarify confusing or incomplete interpretations of prophecy.
Christians Have Been Praying to the Same God the Jews Worship
If Christians have been praying to God the Father—not Jesus—to become King of the Earth, then it makes little sense to expect Jesus to return and take the throne. The Lord’s Prayer is not addressed to Jesus but to Yahweh, who is known to Jews as Yahweh and to Hindus as Vishnu.
The "End Times" spoken of in scripture are not about the end of the world, but the end of this age. This opens the door to meaningful comparisons with Hindu cosmology, which contains the most detailed age-based framework found in any religious tradition. Was there an age before this one? Will there be another afterward? The Hindus say yes to both.
A Shared Prophetic Vision: Christianity and Hinduism
British colonialism left a legacy of deeply offensive and misleading narratives—still circulating in many Christian circles—that label Hinduism as a "false religion." These colonialists, despite claiming to be Christian, clearly never read the Book of Exodus. That book makes it unequivocally clear that God opposes slavery, colonization, and exploitation.
The British intentionally misread and misrepresented Hindu scriptures to discredit Sanatana Dharma. They were not spiritual seekers—they were thieves and thugs.
But if you actually ask Hindus: Has Lord Vishnu been on Earth in human form before? They’ll say, “Yes—He came as Lord Rama (see the Ramayana), and again as Lord Krishna.”
And Krishna left a promise: in the Bhagavad Gita, written 5,000 years ago, He declared that He would return—to reestablish Dharma (cosmic order). In other words, He would end the current age and begin a new one.
The Age Is Ending—The New One Is Near
I am telling you: He is here. This age will end within a few decades. The next age—the Age of Dharma—will begin. And that new age has already been vividly described in the Book of Isaiah.
If the Bible and the Hindu scriptures contradict each other, one must be false. But so far, I have found no contradiction. Instead, I see harmony.
Where Islam Differs
Islam and the Quran diverge in key ways. Christians affirm Jesus as the Son of God. Muslims call him merely a prophet. They deny the crucifixion and resurrection—foundational events in Christianity. Paul writes in the New Testament: "Without the resurrection, we have no faith."
Muslim eschatology claims Jesus will return to “break the cross” and assist the Mahdi in fighting the Dajjal (antichrist). Yet curiously, their descriptions of the Dajjal often sound like those of a progressive liberator—he’s said to do things like free women.
Jesus was not accepted by the priests of his time. When he healed people, they accused him of being possessed. Likewise, being a priest or getting baptized does not shield one from being misled by evil. The Devil is a very active spiritual force. That’s why devotion to God must be conscious, deliberate, and sincere.
The Great Danger: Misidentifying the Messiah
Here’s the danger: When the Messiah comes, many will say, “That’s the Devil.” When the Lord’s Prayer is finally answered, many Christians might recoil and say, “This can’t be Him.”
They will behave just as those in Jesus’s time did: “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”—as if familiarity invalidates divinity. They might respond with even more resistance.
Recognizing God in human form is difficult unless you understand that you yourself come from God. Your soul is indestructible, directly from the Divine. Heaven and Earth may pass away, but your soul will not.
The Final War and the Rise of a New Age
A final war has been prophesied in multiple scriptures. That’s how the last age ended. That’s how the age before that ended. Because those under the Devil’s influence do not listen to reason—they fight to the death.
But this time, something is different. The Devil now has his own religion.
The compassionate response is to reach out to Muslims and show them the path of God. Muslims are human beings, capable of transformation. Just as fallen Christians can repent and walk the right path, so can anyone.
All religions born in this age will pass with this age. It is written.
In the next age, humanity’s capacity for spiritual knowledge will be 100 times greater than it is today. As one scripture puts it, “God is about to say something new.”
We are approaching the end of spiritual primary school. Graduation is near.
