Nuggets from “Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations” by Dave Hunt

Today, those few Jews who believe in a Messiah are still awaiting His first appearance. Yet according to the Jewish prophets themselves, it is nearly two thousand years too late for Him to come – the first time. Israel will know at His Second Coming that He is the One they rejected when He came precisely as foretold – and will mourn and repent as never before in history (Zechariah:12:11-14).

Jesus was enthusiastically hailed as the Messiah by crowds lining the road. When the Pharisees demanded that He rebuke His disciples for calling Him the Messiah, Christ reminded them that this was the very day the Messiah was to ride into Jerusalem and that therefore, if no one else hailed Him, the stones themselves would cry out:

“And when he was come night, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out” (Luke:19:37-40).
