According to the Christian interpretation in the "NT", Jesus will
return and fulfill all the "kingly" Messianic prophecies. I guess the
reason why he didn't when he was here the first time is like when the
Israelites leaving Egypt didn't have faith God would save them and so
He refused them entry into the promised land.
Jesus uses the parable of the Wedding Feast, where the invited guests
didn't want to come (the Jews), so he invited others (the Gentiles.)
This doesn't mean the Jews are to burn in hell or are the "children of
the devil" or any other moronic interpretation of the Bible. It is
like Paul says:
Ro 11:11 - GNB
I ask, then: When the Jews stumbled, did they fall to their ruin? By
no means! Because they sinned, salvation has come to the Gentiles, to
make the Jews jealous of them.
