HE CAME TO FULFILL - PERSECUTION: DRIVEN BACKWARD

When the Messiah was to be arrested, those who were to seek to take Him were to be driven backward. It was to be a testament of His true nature and power to all the disbelieving ones. 

The officials who came to arrest Yeshua drew back and fell to the ground as written in John 18: 3-6 (NIV). 

The all-powerful showed his persecutors how mighty He was. Letting them know He could defeat them, yet choosing not to. He showed His disciples that love is the answer, even if unrighteously persecuted. 

Meek our Messiah was. Truly strong. Meekness is a quality of the strong. Though they can destroy all, they choose not to. They choose not to use their power to full capacity.
