I have had an interesting discussion with my brother-in-law and would like to see your alls thoughts...

If Israel had been operating in the way God had called them would Jesus have needed to come to establish the new kingdom?

If that were true, then why would their be so many prophesies -- like crushing the serpant's head -- (Genesis 3:15) in the OT?

The disease (death) needed a cure (resurrection)

Was man still in need of the Son of God to die on the cross just because Isreal accepted Jesus? Of course. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. Man would still have been man and would still have needed the bridging between himself and God.

Now, here's another question: how would this have happened if Isreal had accepted Jesus as their king? Boy, that's a thought-provoker. I mean, would He have insisted that the Jews crucify Him because (as He told His disciples) He must fulfill all things? Hmm.
