Why Was Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakkai Terrified to Die?

Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakkai was one of the greatest Jewish sages and compiler of the Mishnah and pioneer of rabbinic Judaism. He lived in the first century A.D. The record of his death shows a man who was terrified to meet God and who was uncertain about the salvation of his soul. Why was he so uncertain about the afterlife?

Yet Paul died in certainty of his fate.

Judaism is no different than Catholicism, Mormonism, Islamism, Buddhism, or JW’s. None have assurance of salvation because they get the deity of Christ Jesus wrong, which leads to worshipping an unbiblical Jesus, or they are relying on their “good works” to give them salvation. How many “good works” must they do to have assurance? That will always be the question they ask themselves. They believe it is arrogant of us in Christ to say we do have assurance of salvation, but It Is Written. Therefore I pray they see the error of their interpretation of theology, and come to the truth and wisdom of God, realizing that Jesus is the only way, He is our blessed hope. 💕🙏 May they put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ, Lord of lords and King of kings. 👑
