I suspect your thoughts might hold a slighlyt different meaning than what we Christians would have for this news.

The good thing SheitlQueen, is that when someone comes to Christ and really loves Him, and they have the peace and joy that comes from Him, they also love the Jews too. And that is a plus.

Yes; my concern is with their behavior rather than their faith.
Unfortunately many Muslims, and especially Palestinians, rely
on violence and hatred.

If they become Christians, and experience peace and joy and
act accordingly, then I say that is a very good thing indeed.

Jesus can achieve what no earthly man has been able to achieve and that is to make ex muslims love jews.
Sheitl I often hear other jews say when Messiah comes there will be peace on earth etc.However man cannot force another to love and I often wonder how a mere man would do that .Will the Messiah you wait for wave a metaphorical magic wand and there will automatically be peace all over. Would that not interefere with the individual's free will? How will a mere man get muslims to truly love jews?
As Christians we come to Christ recognising that we cannot change ourselves and that we want him to do it for us.Dying to self is mentioned often in the NT since in order to truly have our hearts circumcised we must die to ourselves and our own desires.The beauty of it though is that God does not leave us to do this impossible task on our own.

I have read a few testimonies of ex muslims since I find them particularly fascinating.And most have been conditioned to hate Israel and the Jewish people.They start off acknowledging this and it is God who provides the healing.It is not something they can do just by themselves..the same goes for Israeli jews who have had to endure so much stuff from muslims.God provides the healing.
Thats why I think that a Messiah who is merely a man wouldnt be able to change the hearts of the people.Its people's hearts that need changing and only God can do this..to give us new hearts as was promised by the Prophets .
