Jesus Christ lived in Palestine among the Jewish community of the country.
If you can guess who said this and when, I’ll reply with a bunch of weird hexbear emotes.
Also the complete lack of theological knowledge in that twitter thread is embarrassing, bible quotes and all. Do they even know why the Jews rejected Jesus Christ as the Messiah and why he was no longer “King of the Jews” after his resurrection? Have any of these people actually read the Bible outside of the 5 sentences their pastor chooses to focus on every Sunday?
The reason why Jews reject Jesus Christ is quite simple. They believe that when the Messiah comes, he will organize His Kingdom on the earth, eternity will begin and time will end. Jews do not believe that people can bring about this just world before the end of time. However, the Messiah has not yet come, so we are still awaiting the end of time from a Jewish perspective.
However, from a Christian perspective, the message of Christ through his death and resurrection is quite clear, and a radical break from Judaism: the Kingdom of God is not on this earth and never will be. The reason the Son of God was defeated on the Earth and crucified, then resurrected to absolve humanity of their sins, is obviously because it was never the intention of the Christian God to establish His Kingdom on this Earth. Thus from a Jewish perspective, Jesus Christ is not the Messiah and the Jews are right not to recognize Him as such. Jesus can no longer be “King of The Jews” as there has been a radical departure from the Jewish theology. He no longer fulfills their criteria for being the Messiah.

At least as it’s portrayed in the gospels, Jesus very clearly was establishing the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. That’s one of Matthew’s central theses: the kingdom of heaven has drawn near (Matt 4:17), we are to pray as Jesus did that God’s will be done on earth as in heaven, and Jesus’ return will see the fulfillment of the kingdom on earth.
