It is certainly not a surprise in the world we live in that hatred of Jewish people is on the rise. I say that, however, a part of me thinks it’s absolutely mad that we have forgotten the terrors of Nazi Germany so quickly. The Jewish people have a saying “never again,” speaking of the holocaust. Unfortunately never again happened on Oct. 7th 2023. I am not here to deal with that, we have spoken on that hideous attack with all its atrocities on many occasions.
The point of my essay today is to share the reason of this demonic hatred of a people that really are a bother to no one. They live their lives. They make the world better through their scientific and cultural activities. All they really want is to live in peace in their homeland, yes it is theirs from antiquity. Given to them by God to the Patriarch Abraham, passed down to Isaac and Jacob. In that same line we find our Savior Jesus Christ. Aw, now we are getting somewhere.
The pure demonic hatred is found from the beginning. From Haman, the Roman emperors, to Hitler and all points in between. It all started in the garden. It still flourishes today. The anti-christ spirit that lives in this world was spoken of in 1 John 1:18. It was alive then and it is on steroids today. The pure hatred brandied about on our college campuses by Marxist professors and students rivals the rise of Nazism in the 30’s in Europe. So it really is a sign of the times, but also a deep thread of evil that a sinful unrepentant world loves to soak in. Evil has to hate something or someone, and the Jews are an easy target.
Surprisingly even some Christian denominations have forsaken the Biblical command to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. To lift up and pray for a people who through them came the sure Word of God and our Messiah. God is not finished with Israel. The very fact that this small country bothering no one is under heavy attack military and economically is proof they are still a part of God’s plan. Replacement theology is a lie.
The backlash to this is the saying of the radical Islamist who declare boldly they are coming for the Saturday (Jews) people first then the Sunday (Christians) people next. Mark my words the anti-Christ spirt is targeting and will increase attacks on churches and Christians. We are already seeing this happen in Europe, Africa, and Canada. Not surprising. This so called religion of peace, demands to “convert or die.”
Hate Israel if you want, but if you do, you will be standing and fighting against Almighty God. I choose to stand with Israel. That doesn’t mean I agree with everything they do, but it does mean I want to be on God’s side. I stand with the Word! I stand with Israel!
