In ACTS Luke describes Paul's appeal to the Jews of Antioch to accept Christ. His presentation is the quintessential appeal beginning with repeated references to Judaism with which his audience has to agree and in their minds they are thinking - yes, true, correct, true, of course. Paul closes with references to Christ's coming and reveals that he has indeed come and everything the Jews believed has come true and, for a finish and to urge those still not convinced, he references Habakkuk 1:5 which describes how the Jews did not believe what they saw and he suggests they will perish if they don't believe.
