JOHN 1:10 HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN

[DougE]

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Jesus is God and created the world.

Jesus came unto his own, which was Israel, to save them, but was rejected by them.

But many did receive him. The many believed on his name. During the earthly ministry of Jesus they were to believe on his name for salvation; they were to believe Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God.

But moost of Israel was waiting for an earthly messiah that would drive the Romans out of Israel. For many years Israel was about the country not the spiritual life or heaven.

But moost of Israel was waiting for an earthly messiah that would drive the Romans out of Israel.

Indeed they were... because that's what God promised in the scripture of the prophets.

Luk 1:67-75 KJV And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, (68) Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, (69) And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; (70) As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (71) That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; (72) To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; (73) The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, (74) That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, (75) In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.​

For many years Israel was about the country not the spiritual life or heaven.
