Jesus came and they knew Him not, this my friend did cast their lot. <br />For Jesus was The One to come, The One foretold as David’s Son. <br />But God’s chosen people Israel, could not see that Christ did fulfill, <br />Ancient prophecies told by God, and soon will rule with an iron rod. <br /> <br />He was Light they couldn’t see; the Davidic promise destined to be. <br />He did preach on Israel’s sod, pointing men to the Kingdom of God. <br />From the Scriptures, He even read, but to a people spiritually dead. <br />He stayed with His people though, as the one they needed to know. <br /> <br />But Israel, God’s chosen Nation, was obstinate to God’s Salvation. <br />Instead the leaders plotted to kill, God’s Son, to appease their will. <br />In their blindness they’d fulfill, God’s Eternal plan on Calvary’s Hill. <br />As Christ was mocked and scorned, like prophets had forewarned. <br /> <br />Christ was pierced for me and you, and for the Nation of Israel too. <br />They will see the One they pierced, although for them it isn’t clear. <br />They’ll be filled with supplication, as God moves His chosen nation, <br />Then one-third will turn to Him, when Jesus cleanses them from sin. <br /> <br />Until then, God has turned to us, the Gentiles who believe and trust, <br />Through faith, He’ll return again, bringing Salvation to believing men. <br />Christ left us a witness as the Light, to come to God before the night. <br />How much more can you afford, to ignore that witness of The Lord? <br /> <br />(Copyright ©04/2006)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/they-knew-him-not/
