It was God's purpose of the dispensational course during the 4,000 years for the chosen nation of Israel, for the Jewish people to perform their mission in compliance with the Divine Will and Requirements.
In fact, God desired to bring the 4,000-year Providential History to an end by sending Jesus, His begotten Son, to this race and people and making him accomplish complete and perfect redemption of the flesh and spirit of all mankind.
But their refusal to serve and follow Jesus as their central figure led mankind to lamentation.
Though coming within the spheres of an age, a generation, and an hour for terminating the Providential History and bringing God's ideal garden, Jesus was not recognized by the race and people, and was compelled to have a pathetic life for 30 years.

You should know that one consoled Jesus, and he had not a fellow to appeal to.
Then why in the world was it impossible for Jesus to get out of a sorrowful life, who was to be the object of the pleasure of Israel, the Jewish people, and all of mankind?
It was the lifetime object of Jesus to take the responsibility of history for God's desire, reality for God's Will, and further the eternal future for God's Providence.
But the then-chosen people and order were ignorant of it.
Hence, Jesus' grief stands for a historical one of God and those of all the sages and wise ones who had lived during the 4,000 years of waiting for Jesus. You should know this fact. When Jesus arrived, God, angels, and all the spiritual men sided with him, whereas the Jewish people and the order rejected him.
Since such a historical sorrow of Jesus was not restricted to his age but passed on to us, you can and should side with the sorrow of Jesus.
In Gethsemane, foreseeing that his crucifixion would finally result in the nullified Providence of the 4,000-year course of Israel, the collapse of the Jewish people, persecution of his disciples and followers, etc., Jesus couldn't restrain his tears.
In this age, Jesus is coming for the race, people, and all entire mankind. You are invited to bear in mind that Jesus' sorrow stands for 6,000 years of sorrow of both heaven and earth, not the 4,000-year one.
Jesus went up Golgotha for the race of Israel and the Jewish people, and when he comes again, he goes up the worldwide Golgotha for the world of Israel and the world of Jewish people.
Consequently, unless you succeed in standing for reality as well as historicity, you can hardly expect to have something to do with the coming Jesus.
For you to get in touch with Jesus coming for universality and historicity, firstly, you should be familiar with all his environments, because Jesus is to come again, following in his previous footsteps.
It was the reason for the coming failure of Jesus' mission on the earth: the chosen Israel, the Jewish people, had rejected him, and his family and the world had thrown him over, and particularly even John the Baptist, the chosen, has walked out on Jesus.
Not only was Jesus sorrowful, but also lonely, and has there been anyone who was more miserable and lonelier than Jesus?
As Jesus bore heavenly and earthly solitude, sorrow, and discomfort, you should serve him in your life.
Now is the time for the religious group standing for the historicity, the family group of Jesus for the reality, and the apostolic group for the futurity to appear.
Therefore, you should be the tribe and order of Jesus for the past, be his family and brother for the present, and be his future apostles by making yourselves his protectors.
Had there been some tribe, family, parents, brothers, and apostles siding with his heart, his gospel would never have turned to the Gentiles.
Accordingly, you should be the heavenly tribe, family, brothers, and apostles to restore the standpoints of parents and brides and grooms for Jesus' heart, on which Jesus could come again.
What the current Christians should do is to stand for Jesus' parents, disciples, and apostles who rejected him, and for that purpose, you can and should stand above the barriers of family, parents, brothers, or race.
Since now is the time equivalent to the Judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah, you should not follow the woman cursed by looking back.
