I get it. You make a very valid point. I find it interesting that Judaism does not proselytize (at least as far as ive been told)but the religions that are offshoots of Judaism do, such as my own. Hmmm.
None of us saints and prophets who were used to testify on behalf of God did any proselytizing. It's religious people who steal our words and use them for their selfish benefit who do all the proselytizing. Jesus, Peter, Timothy, Stephen, Paul and myself only preach the Gospel to those who God chose to listen to his voice. He puts them in our path and since they already know God somewhat, they love listening to his voice and the sweetness of the knowledge that pours out from it. Some of these believers may try use some of our words and try convince someone else to come and listen to us but usually they aren't chosen to participate in the Gospel.
The people who are chosen to come and listen to the Gospel of God and completely reject it are part of the crowd that eventually gets us killed according to God's will ( plan ).
Revelation 6
9: When he opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne;
10: they cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?"
11: Then
they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
Psalm 79.
1. O God,
the heathen have come into thy inheritance; they
have defiled the holy temple; they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2.
They have given the bodies of thy servants to the birds of the air for food, the flesh of thy saints to the beasts of the earth.
3.
They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.
4. We have become a taunt to our neighbors, mocked and derided by those round us.
Psalm 116
16.
Precious in the sight of thy Lord is the death of his saints.
Revelation 11
3: And I will grant my two witnesses power to prophesy for one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth."
4: These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.
5: And if any one would harm them, fire pours out from their mouth and consumes their foes; if any one would harm them, thus he is doomed to be killed.
6: They have power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.
7: And
when they have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer them and kill them,
Revelation 12
17: Then
the dragon was angry with the woman, and
went off to make war on the rest of her offspring,
on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.
Revelation 16
5: And I heard the angel of water say, "Just art thou in these thy judgments, thou who art and wast, O Holy One.
6: For
men have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. It is their due!"
Revelation 17
4: The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and bedecked with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication;
5: and on her forehead was written a name of mystery: "Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth's abominations."
6: And
I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her I marveled greatly.
Revelation 18
17: In one hour all this wealth has been laid waste." And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off
18: and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, "What city was like the great city?"
19: And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, "Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste.
20:
Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!"
24: And
in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on earth."
Revelation 19
1: After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
2: for
his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and
he has avenged on her the blood of his servants."
Revelation 20
4: Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also
I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.
They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
The 1,000 year reign of Christ is ending with the death of the servant who is writing this sentence.
