HATE JEWS?
You Gotta Be Kidding Me!
It really upsets me when I hear or read blatantly anti-Semitic comments, especially when they are made by professed Christians. That kind of ignorance is inexcusable because those who are guilty of it cannot find a shred of justification in the Scriptures.
Historically, anti-Semitism
within the early Church sprang from the belief that all Jews were to be blamed
for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. But even though God holds the nation
of
“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good
news) of Christ, for it is God’s power working unto salvation [for
deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a
personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to
the Jew first and also to the Greek” Romans 1:16 (Amplified Bible, emphasis mine).
“But glory and honor and [heart] peace shall
be awarded to everyone who [habitually] does good, the Jew first and
also the Greek (Gentile)” Romans 2:10
(Amplified Bible, emphasis mine).
“I ask then: Has God totally rejected and
disowned His people? Of course not! Why, I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a
member of the tribe of Benjamin! 2 No, God has not rejected and
disowned His people [whose destiny] He had marked out and appointed and
foreknown from the beginning. Do you not know what the Scripture says of
Elijah, how he pleads with God against
“Now if their stumbling (their lapse, their
transgression) has so enriched the world [at large], and if [
The Book of Revelation says the Lord Jesus Christ will return and set up His kingdom on earth and reign for a thousand years. The capital city will be Jerusalem and the twelve tribes of Israel will form the nucleus of all those around the world who are destined to enjoy the wonderful benefits of living under a theocracy—the absolutely perfect form of government in which the Son of God will rule the world as a loving and benevolent Sovereign—and in which those ruling with Him (the Church, formerly comprised of both Jews and Gentiles, but at that time will be glorified and beyond such human distinctions) will show no tolerance for evildoers. Operating under His guiding hand they will “shepherd” the nations righteously and rigorously (hence the symbol of an “iron rod”):
“And he who overcomes (is victorious) and who obeys My
commands to the [very] end [doing the works that please Me], I will give him
authority and power over the nations; 27 And he shall rule
them with a sceptre (rod) of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces,
and [his power over them shall be] like that which I Myself have received from
My Father” Revelation 2:27 (Amplified
Bible).
Yet the world despises the very mention of Jews enjoying
such prominence and anti-Semitism is probably more widespread today than it has
ever been—which is really saying something in light of how much persecution
Jews have suffered. But what many do not understand is that it began long
before the crucifixion of Christ! Satan knew the Messiah would come through the
offspring of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and he did everything within his power
to destroy them. Then as
And speaking of
the term “holocaust,”—often used to describe the “final solution for the Jews”
instigated by Adolph Hitler during WWII—do you know what the word actually
means? The following definition is taken from the on-line encyclopedia
Wikipedia:
“The term holocaust
originally derived from the Greek word holókauston, meaning a
"completely (holos) burnt (kaustos)" sacrificial
offering to a god. Its Latin form (holocaustum) was first used with
specific reference to a massacre of Jews by the chroniclers Roger of Howden and Richard of Devizes in the 1190s.”
In the New Testament the Greek word holokautōma is rendered as “burnt offerings” in Mark 12:33;
Heb.10:6 and 8. But to apply that sacred Christian symbolism to the horrific
acts millions of Jews have suffered at the hands of evil men—apparently with
the intent to call to mind the sacrificial system God commanded them to observe
under the Law of Moses—is totally inappropriate. All of the burnt offerings, or
“holocausts” in the Bible were clearly intended by God to picture the sacrifice
His Son made on the cross. And as heart-wrenching as the murder of those
innocent victims truly was, their dying was not a sacrifice to Yahweh God as
the application of the term “holocaust” might seem to imply. However, on the
other hand, as
Also we need to understand there is a trait among the Jews as a race of people that contributes greatly to anti-Semitism. For reasons known only unto God He continues to give many of them an uncanny ability to make money and prosper—regardless of the nation or part of the world to which they have been forced to flee from persecution. And over time they have become some of the most powerful and wealthy individuals among the world’s bankers and financiers. But that tremendous wealth is being misused by some extremely wicked individuals among them—in some cases involving entire families that go back for generations—as they operate financial empires having no national allegiance or recognizing any borders. Their insatiable lust for power has played a major role in most (if not all) of the wars that have been fought over the last two hundred years, because they provide money for both sides of the conflicts and then reap obscene profits when the damaged national infrastructures are rebuilt. The toll in human misery is incalculable, but the totally unfair result is that because of the evil deeds of a relative few, all Jews tend to be blamed by the rest of the world.
Another aspect of the problem is that today roughly one
fifth of the world’s population is Muslim and even though they often fight
among themselves, there is one thing that galvanizes them into a united front
and temporarily sets aside their philosophical differences—the rabidly insane
ideology that insists Israel must be “pushed into the sea” and cease to exist
as a nation. The source of the blind hatred they have for
After that conflagration (thought by many commentators to be WWIII) some among the Jews will believe they have finally entered the golden age of the Messianic era because the New Age christ—the antichrist of the Bible—will appear on the scene, perform miracles intended to deceive them into thinking he is their Messiah and doubtless take credit for their victory. That dramatic appearance will be the “revealing of the man of sin” as per 2 Thess.2:3, which along with the “falling away” (apostasy) also mentioned there, are the two prerequisites that must take place before the “Day of the Lord” can begin. But does their fulfillment necessarily mean the Tribulation Period—the onset of which constitutes the beginning of the Day of the Lord—will commence immediately after they are met? If not, the possibility will exist that several years could elapse prior to the antichrist confirming the 7-year covenant with Israel (Daniel (9:26-27)—at which point God’s prophetic “clock” will definitely start ticking once again to count down the “seventieth week of Daniel” and all the horrors it holds for the Jews.
In the interim the Illuminist Jewish financiers will
doubtless play a key role in the kingdom of the Antichrist. My understanding is
that they are presently at the very top of the unfinished pyramid of
power brazenly displayed on the backs of our one dollar bills and will stop at
nothing to ensure the installation of “the christ” as its “all-seeing eye”
capstone. Then once he is firmly established as ruler over the entire world
they will gain unrestricted control of all its goods and services—something for
which they have long sought. Being thoroughly secular, the only god they
recognize is money and the power it affords them. But what do you suppose is
the reason behind their mania to “have it all?” They already have more money
than could reasonably be spend in multiple lifetimes, so why keep on trying to
amass more wealth? In my opinion it is because centuries of persecution have
filled them with the desire to gain the upper hand and exact retribution upon
the “goyim,” or Gentiles whom they feel have been responsible for their misery.
And that brings us to the subject of their activities up to the midpoint of the Tribulation Period.
One of the most interesting and widely discussed aspects of the Book of Revelation—even among secular writers—is found in chapter 13 where the “number of the beast” (666) is mentioned. And is it not interesting that in the same passage (vs.16-18) containing the mysterious number, it says no one can “buy or sell” unless they have that “mark of the beast?” Of course buying and selling speaks of commerce and the apostate Jewish financiers will literally “have the market cornered.” Every individual and company in the world will either do business with them or cease to exist. Their desire for the ultimate monopoly will have been achieved and the masses of the world will be forced to grovel at their feet!
Then during that time I think it highly probable the
economic monopoly and prosperity enjoyed by the Illuminist interests within
Israel will prove to be the catalyst drawing those of the Diaspora—the Jews now dispersed among the nations—back to their
ancestral homeland. And since Satan’s master plan is to kill them all, does it
not just make sense that this would be about the only way relatively affluent
Jews could be coaxed back to a centralized location where efforts to
exterminate them would be vastly more efficient? Today the prospects for high
paying jobs within
“But as to the suitable times and the precise seasons and dates, brethren, you have no necessity for anything being written to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the [return of the] Lord will come [as unexpectedly and suddenly] as a thief in the night. 3 When people are saying, All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 (Amplified Bible, emphasis mine).
Of course the Bible tells us God is going to spare some of
His chosen ones among them and they will escape the antichrist’s death squads.
They will survive to populate the
And if you have been paying any attention to the news lately, headlines are being made by Jews such as Bernie Madoff, the man who “made off” with billions of dollars (from fellow Jews, along with numbers of others duped into investing in his phony investment scheme), Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, presently pumping trillions of fiat dollars into “salvaging” banks founded by Jews, and countless others who are connected to the financial institutions of the world. Nations are reeling from the shock and mind-boggling sums of money have just vanished! Where did all of it go? My friend, you can just about bet the farm on the proposition that the cabal known as the Illuminati is in possession of those funds and the final stage of their centuries-old plan has now rounded third base and is headed for home!
However, even though we—Christian and non-believer alike—abhor such despicable acts, we must not “paint all Jews with the same brush.” Most are decent law abiding citizens and are in no way involved in such activities. Also there are growing numbers among them who have become“completed Jews” in that they now know and proclaim Jesus Christ as their Messiah.
So no matter how much evil is done by some bad apples among them, we must be on guard and not allow the god of this world to infect us with the devilish virus of anti-Semitism.
If you have been born again and received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never placed your trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior, but have come to sense His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to receive His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you truly believe in Him as Lord and Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually. If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order Kingdom of Antichrist in their daily news.
