I am well aware that Israel is a deeply divided country. The culture war there is more vehement than in the US.
However, if destructive foreign influences prevent the Messiah from comming, then how can you claim that Jesus was the Messiah? Occupied Israel was full of Hellenizers and collaborators.

Jesus said that all the nations will have an opportunity to hear his word. "The Passion of Christ" is one great example of that.
I hope so. Europe and 1/3 of Americans need it.

If you were looking for Jesus he would come, if your not looking for Jesus he won't. Reading the Old Testament Scriptures is what makes sense when you read the New Testament Scriptures.

I know your a Jewish un-beleiver. G-d gave us all free will. All I can say read the scriptures GOSPELS intently pray about it. Ask and Pray to G-d to reveal to you if Jesus is the Promised Messiah, you don't have to ask any body but G-d let him be your answer, and if you do that sincerely, G-d will show you and tell you because G-d does not lie to us..

Is that a fair statement?

Astute point

Ungodliness in Jacob will not prevent the coming (or return if you will) of the Messiah.
