Claim. After Jesus restored the worldwide foundation of faith through the forty-day fast, the second worldwide course collapsed because the Jewish leadership and Judas Iscariot — operating in the position-equivalent of the faithless Israelites under Moses — refused to follow him from the JtB-position into the messianic position.
Elaboration. dp-3-the-providence-of-restoration-under-the-leadership-of-jesus §3.2.2–3.2.3 explains the failure mode. Jesus, having paid the JtB-role indemnity, then stood as the substantial fulfillment of “the three manifestations of grace and the Ten Commandments” — the dispensation-to-start was conducted via “Jesus’ own words and miraculous deeds” (rather than via three signs and ten plagues as Moses had received).
Had the Jewish people (in Cain-position) been moved to believe and follow Jesus (in JtB-position-Abel), they would have fulfilled the indemnity condition to remove fallen nature, established the foundation of substance, and laid the foundation for the Messiah — at which point Jesus would have risen from the JtB-position to the position of Messiah, engrafted humanity into himself, and “built the Kingdom of Heaven on earth in Jesus’s day.”
Instead, the text notes that Satan “left Jesus’s side until an opportune time” (13) after the wilderness temptations — meaning Satan returned via the Jewish leadership, the priests and scribes, and “in particular… through Judas Iscariot.” The structural parallel to Moses’s course is direct: as the Israelites had repeatedly fallen into faithlessness after each miraculous dispensation, the Jewish people repeatedly failed to attend Jesus despite his miracles. The second worldwide course therefore “ended in tragic failure” — neither the foundation of substance nor the foundation for the Messiah was completed. Just as Moses’s second national course required a third attempt, Jesus’s worldwide providence required a third — but with one fatal difference (see dp-third-worldwide-course-began-as-spiritual-only-because-jesus-crucified).
