His time to “come down” was not then, and those who do not believe will be sorry when He eventually does come down. If Jesus had come down off the cross at that point, they would have had to have been killed, yes? Since they were lying?
Amazing that He is still waiting for that same permission, to establish His kingdom on earth.
And if He did come down, His work would not have been accomplished, being a sacrifice for the whole world for all ages.
My initial post was mearly to show the wicked fickleness of man. The challenge that the pharisees gave was empty. Even if he did come down, they would still not believe nor recieve him. Regardless if Christ brought down a Region of Angels to wipe out the wicked, they would still not believed him.
