Jesus, the rightful king, came to His own in the 1st century, and knew that He was the rightful king and should be ruling over Israel. Instead, He was mocked, beaten, spit upon, and plotted against. He despised the shame, but for the joy that was set before Him beyond the Cross, He endured.
The true church, especially in these last days, know that they might be ruling with Jesus in the future, and are presently mocked, beaten, jailed, spit upon, and plotted against, especially by the 7-headed beast and its 10 horns. The "new world order" has already conquered America and is continuing to dismantle it and submit it to the cabal, eliminating the people's individual freedoms and liberties, and the people will soon be slaughtered. But Jesus' true church looks beyond it to the day we are in His company.
The majority of the Jews in the 1st century, wanted to put off the Roman empire, wanted a ruler to defeat the evil gentile overlords, and did not want to hear Jesus' message about dying on a cross. Nor were they willing to take up the cross daily (a term meaning death to every aspect of one's own soul - self thinking, self feeling, self willing) so that Jesus could be a person's intelligence, strength, and emotion. This walk is not embraced by most people who claim to want Jesus. Judas Iscariot and the zealots wanted Jesus to rise up and be their king and set them physically free from the evil empire.
Today, the majority of the "church" wants the same thing that the Jews in the 1st century wanted. And these "followers" do not want the same thing those Jews did not want. And likewise this church is told that they must suffer and endure for Jesus' sake if they wish to be saved, but this "church" does not want to suffer for Jesus' sake. It wants to escape.
This "church" has never learned the meaning of authority, even though they read about it and Jesus explains it to them every time they open a bible. This "church" wants others to serve them; wants others to listen to them; wants to be honored, esteemed, respected. Wants to be known and called by such titles as "reverend", "pastor", "father", "teacher", "Dr.", "Professor". in complete violation of Jesus' command (Matthew 23).
And when Jerusalem was obliterated in A.D. 70, the hope of the Jews lost, the same thing is going to happen to the "church" in these last days, the world over. They fail to see, and cannot hear the words of the True King, and they pin their hopes on man-made doctrines, having itching ears, gathering up teachers to suit their own likes.
