The more they stay the same: Ecclesiastes 1: 9. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
He came in peace, but they mocked, scourged, and put him to death, because of His language . . . the things that He said (or so they thought) . . .
Genesis 50: 20. But as for you, ye thought evil against me; BUT GOD meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Psalm 58 1-2 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? 2) Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
Matthew 10: 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Psalm 81:13-15 Oh that my people had hearkened unto Me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 14) I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 15) The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto Him: but their time should have endured for ever.
Ironically, like Jesus, because many take issue with, what they perceive to be negativity in my speech, the message which He imparts through me, fall on deaf ears. Regardless of what you think of me or my tone; focus on the message, and confirm it in The Word. If you fail to see the situational parallel between His generation and this generation, and willfully continue in sin, then there is no more sacrifice for sin . . .
The more things change, the more the stay the same: there is no new thing under the sun.

Yet
Psalm 58 1-2 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? 2) Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
Therefore, this time
Matthew 10: 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Because
Psalm 81:13-15 Oh that my people had hearkened unto Me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 14) I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 15) The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto Him: but their time should have endured for ever.

REPENT!
The more things change, the more the stay the same: there is no new thing under the sun.
