Please forgive me, but chr*stians have been saying this for 2000 years and stating the claim does not prove it. Neither do the "new testament's" claims prove anything to anyone who doesn't believe it already.
According to the Talmud, 40 years before the destruction of the 2nd temple, God stopped accepting the sacrifices of the Jewish people, though there was no exile.
At that exact time, Jesus was preaching the Kingdom of Heaven, and performing miracles, and claiming to be God, and Son of Man, ... and called an agent of the devil by the Rabbis.
I think God showed the Jewish leaders of 30A.D. exactly what he thought of their spiritual discernment, and leadership of the Jewish people.
So you're saying that the Jews of the time actually knew that J*sus was the messiah but rejected him anyway just out of pure "meanness," like some villain from a stage melodrama? You must think the Jewish people are EVIL.
Please read my upcoming post which is pitched at antinomian Protestants like yourself.
> stating the claim does not prove it.
I stated the claim, and provided links to the evidence supporting the claim Sir. The evidence supports the claim, not my assertion.

No. Born Jewish myself. They are still the apple of God’s eye. See Romans 11, and please read the “yfiles” link I provided.
Given the Old Testament/Tanach describes the depravity of the Jewish people and leaders prior to the destruction of the 1st Temple, is it so surprising that they would be in a like state of spiritual darkness 40 years before the destruction of the 2nd?
Jesus claimed to be God, and did Miracles, at exactly the time Daniel and Moses said he would arrive, Daniel’s prophecy illustrated in the link I provided. The Rabbis said he cast out devils by the prince of devils. At the identical time, the Talmud says that God stopped accepting the sacrifices of the Jewish people.
This is not a coincidence. It is God calling out to the Jewish people and the world, to faith in Yehoshua Ha Mashiach.
