To the followers of Christ who tried to win over their allegiance, the people replied scornfully that He, Christ, was a false prophet. They proved it from the prophecies in the Scriptures. (202:2) "The Messiah will sit upon the throne of David," they pointed out. "Where is the throne of the Nazarene?" (202:3) "Mount Zion will dance in the day of the Messiah. Who has yet seen this wonder?" (202:4) "The Messiah will rule with a sword. This Jesus does not even have a staff, let alone a sword." (202:5) "He will be a son of David, yet you say he is born of a virgin. He cannot fulfil this prophecy." (202:6) "Daniel has promised that He will be a prince. This Jesus is but a carpenter, and not a prince of noble birth." (202:7) "It is written that a holy one will not hang upon a tree, yet this Nazarene was nailed to a tree and hung." (202:8) "In Deuteronomy it states plainly: (202:9) "...he that is hanged is accursed of God." (Deut 21:23)
(202:10)
