There are many reasons that many Jews are resistant towards the gospel of Jesus.
They have beliefs hat make it hard for Jewish people to accept Jesus as their Messiah and Savior.
Many Jewish teachers teaches the Moshiach (Messiah) will come if Israel repented in a single day, or if Israel observed a single Shabbat properly.
They have other thoughts like if Israel observed two Shabbats in a row properly or in a generation that is totally innocent or totally guilty.
Here is another thought that many Jews have, the Moshiach will come in a generation that loses hope; in a generation where children are totally disrespectful towards their parents and elders or he will come before the Jewish year 6,000 which is over 200 years from now.
Jesus fulfilled many prophecies that was observed. The Messiah/Moshiach will be a descendant of King David according to 2 Samuel 7:12-17 and when we read Luke 1:32-33, we see that Jesus is the Messiah.
The Messiah will come from the city of David, Bethlehem according to Micah 5:2 and we read in in Matthew 2:1-6, that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
The Jews thought that Jesus would be the conquering King to beat down the Romans Empire. They forgot to read that Jesus is the conquering King in his second coming and not his first coming. His first coming would be a suffering King when he redeemed the country of Israel and the world.
