Antisemitism
It seems as if the whole world has gone crazy with a hatred toward the Jewish people. The news is filled with violence on a Jewish person on a daily basis. The one and only Jewish country in the world, Israel, is constantly vilified for just trying to protect itself from those trying to eradicate every Jew from the face of the Earth. It seems as tho most nations want them to just stand still and take the beating and do nothing about it. I can’t think of any other country that would allow what is happening to Israel right now to just set back and allow this to go on. So they fight for their own survival.
All around the world on universities and college campuses we see this hatred. These schools which are supposed to teach students how to think for themselves are instead bastions of antisemitism. The young students are being brainwashed by professors that have an antisemitic point of view. These schools of higher learning are even allowing terrorist to come on their campuses to organize violence against Jewish students and the nation of Israel. It’s all under the guise of “freedom of speech”.
Some Christian churches have even jumped on this bandwagon. Down through the centuries there have always been Cristian churches, denominations and schools of theology, that have preached and taught hatred of the Jew. In the dark ages most people couldn’t even read, so they had to depend on the clergy to tell them what the Bible had to say. There were even some that would forbid a lay person from reading the Bible. But today there is no excuse. Most people can read now, and the Bible is in almost every language known to man. So read it for yourself and see what God has written for every person on earth. That means we are all without an excuse of knowing what truly is “thus saith the Lord”.
Most christians in the western world have heard the phrase “Christ killers”. A phrase that antisemitics call Jewish people because they want to blame Jews for rejecting Jesus and killing Him. If you knew your Bible you would know that isn’t true at all. Even if it were, we have Jesus on the cross saying “Father forgive them , they know not what they do” Luke 23:34
Do you believe that Jesus’ prayers were answered? If you do, then weren’t they forgiven? Yes they were.
Now heres the kicker, if you are a christian and antisemitic then you hate Jesus. Hebrews 13:8 (KJV) “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.” Jesus was born of a jewish mother in the land of Israel which was then and now again the nation of the Jewish people. If Hebrews 13:8 is true, and I believe it is, then Jesus is still a Jew. Gods word is true. Matthew chapter 1 starting at verse 18 reads…
Matthew 1 ESV
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us).
Jesus the only Savior in the world for mankind was born a Jew.
If you are a Jew hater you have a very serious problem with Jesus and you are on the losing side. If you call yourself a Christian and you are siding with so called friends that are Jew haters, either get them to except Jesus as their savior or get away from them. You all are in deep trouble with God. Israel is the apple of Gods eye…
Zechariah 2:8 (KJV)
For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
Some churches are trying to say that God replaced Israel with the Church. I can’t find that in any of my Bibles of differing translations. In fact they all say in Romans chapters 11 that one day all Israel will be saved. (please read chapters 9-11 to keep the context) That doesn’t mean every Jew that ever lived, it means all Israel at the time this prophecy is fulfilled.
Romans 11:1-2;16;25-29 KJV
1I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
29For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
So any church that is preaching that God replaced Israel with the church is wrong. If you have a pastor that is preaching this please leave and don’t look back. This is a hearsay that has surfaced every now and then going back to at lest the third century. And it always comes with antisemitism. As we have shown Israel is the apple of Gods eye.
Antisemitism is actually a spiritual problem, The devil hates the Jewish people because it was through them that God brought His savior into this world. So the devil seems content on making people hate the Jewish people and Israel. So I say again if you have a problem with the Jews then you will find yourself fighting against God! If your a Christian then repent and ask God to forgive you of your hatred toward those He loves. If your not a Christian then ask for God to forgive you and except Jesus as your savior. He loves you and wants you to be saved.
