"messenger before thy face" - If Christ Jesus Had Not been Executed





A Shinto Shrine around Tokyo with New Year's Visitors

If Christ Jesus Had Not been Executed

Why was Christ Jesus killed by the Jewish authority and the Roman Governor?  Did He do anything very bad?  Why would not His followers try to fight and save Him?

Many and various explanations have been made by Christian churches, scholars, and knowledgeable persons, but it seems that none has been satisfied by their explanations in these 2000 years.

Put simply, it was a result of the fight between angels and Satan.  From the beginning, Satan tried to destroy Christ Jesus.  However, angels protected Christ Jesus at every time Satan tried to kill Christ Jesus.  But, finally angels found that Satan would do more harm to human beings if they continued to protect the human life of Christ Jesus.  So, God intervened and let Satan do what it wanted, since He could restore life of Christ Jesus at His will as God is almighty.  But, whatever the reason was, Satan was glad to be given a chance to fulfill his wish to kill Christ Jesus, and Satan used the Jewish authority and the Roman Governor to execute Christ Jesus.

It is not a matter that can be explained in the domain of the human world, human interests, and human senses, since Christ Jesus was the Son of God or somebody like that.

The mistake of those Christian churches, scholars, and knowledgeable persons who tried to explain the death of Christ Jesus is that they handled the matter in the human phase while the matter was more related to the spiritual world and the domain of angels, Satan, and human souls.

The lesson we should learn from the death of Christ Jesus is that Satan is real and realistic while it is crazy enough to kill the Son of God or somebody like that.

So, it is not good for Christians today, including Christian churches, to only praise and appreciate the death of Christ Jesus (for the reason that He died for them) but not blame Satan.

And, we should think what had happened if Christ Jesus had not been killed by Satan.  It is the very reason that God approved Satan's plan to kill Christ Jesus.  At least, it looks likely that Judas should have been killed as a betrayer by the Jewish authority and the Roman Governor.  And in the worst case, all the Jewish people were destroyed in the coming Jewish-Roman War and Judaism should have been exterminated.
