Antisemitism

Gtcotr/ss050524

John 4:22  “You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.”

Antisemitism is hatred of the Jews. Hatred is a seed sown by the devil in his efforts to destroy God’s plan to save the world from sin.

·        Antisemitism is the same spirit as the spirit of the antichrist.

·        1 John 4:3 The spirit of the Antichrist is now already in the world.

·        Love is born of God and love is the motivation God uses to lead His children. (1 John 4:7-8)

·        Hate is born of satan, and hatred is the motivation used by satan to lead his children. (1 John 3:10 … do not love … children of the devil.)

·        Love is filled with compassion, forgiveness, joy, peace, and life.

·        Hate is filled with anger, excuses, violence, pride, and death.

·        God is Love.

·        Satan is fear.

Everyone’s hatred is rooted in fear. The perfect love of God will cast out fear while the hatred of satan will feed fear. Fear will make you hate; Hate will breed murder. The devil hates Jews and Jesus because he fears them.

When hatred is attached to a people group, anyone associated with that group and those attempting to protect or defend them from aggression becomes the enemy. Hate hungers to kill, and cannot be satisfied with less.

·        Love multiplies peace while hate spreads violence.

·        Love is like a peaceful sweet fruit while hate is a bitter raging fire.

Antisemitism is hate and we see it all throughout history in both the Biblical and the secular historical accounts.

One of the most well-known Biblical accounts of hate, which was motivated by fear, is that of the Jews living among the Egyptians for more than 400 years. The first few chapters of the Book of the Exodus reveal how the Egyptians feared, despised, and hated the Jews (Genesis 46:34). This hatred motivated Pharoah and the Egyptians to enslave, torture, and ultimately attempt to exterminate the Jews. It was the work of the devil because he was afraid.

When this didn’t work, the Egyptians expelled them from the land and then attempted to hunt them down and kill them like dogs. If they had succeeded, there would have been no Jews going forward from that day. What would have happened to the plan of God? Exactly … that’s what the devil is trying to do today with his demonically inspired antisemitic rhetoric and pursuits! Satan is filled with fear, and hate, and murder and it’s manifesting in his children. Their names are Hamas and Hezbollah, Persia, Gog, and Magog to name a few … and we hear their chants of rage.

Again, this is nothing new, but it is getting worse. In Acts 18 the Bible records the expulsion of Jews from the capital city of Rome during the reign of Emperor Claudius in perhaps AD51 or so. This was not the first or the last time all Jews were expelled from a city or country. History records:

·        1290 Jews were expelled from Britain.

·        1306 Jews were expelled from France.

·        1348 Jews were expelled from Switzerland.

·        1394 Jews were expelled from Germany.

That’s just one random snapshot of a single 100-year period of our world history. If that is not enough to reveal the sinister, longer reaching plan of some power beyond mere mortal preferences of race and religion …

·        During the Russian revolution, (1918-1920), according to Wikipedia, in more than 1500 programs in over 1300 locations, 250,000 Ukrainian Jews were murdered and up to 300,000 Jewish children were orphaned, while a half a million Jews were driven out from or fled their homes in Ukraine.

·        20 years later – Hitler and the Nazi leaders of Germany, along with the support of their political party, murdered another 6,000,000 European Jews in gas chambers and death camps, starving and branding others who survived until the allies rescued them.

·        Fast forward through the 1950’s, and 1960’s, and 1970’s, and 1980’s, and the first and the second intifada, and even up to October 7, 2023, and until today on college and university campuses and the streets of American cities – people are calling for the extermination of the Jewish people … and they are acting on it.

·        Right now public demands are being made for the disinheritance and the death of the Jews living in Israel and threats of personal harm and physical attacks perpetrated against Jewish students around the world. These students pose no threat to the aggressors.

I feel compelled to speak up. This is not the time for politics, poll driven directives, or vote pandering antics. Antisemitism is the epitome of lunacy and it’s nothing short of demonically inspired idiocracy. Unfortunately, the devil finds people in every generation to influence with his fear and his hatred of Jesus and the Jews.

But why does the devil hate the Jews so much? Because he hates and fears their God …

Psalms 68:20  Our God is the God of salvation; And to GOD the Lord belong escapes from death.

Satan knows the God of the Jews is a God of salvation. Satan hates the fact that God’s children will escape death, over which he no longer has power. Jesus spoke clearly about the devil and his children:

John 15 NKJV

17  “These things I command you, that you love one another.”

18  “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.”

23  “He who hates Me hates My Father also.”

25  “But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’”

John 8 NKJV

42  Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me … but …

44  “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.”

The devil hates everyone and everything but especially he hates what God loves … and God loves Jesus and the Jews.

Listen Church, Antisemitism is not a new thing, but it is absolutely crazy to hate and discriminate, expel or exterminate any ethnos. And those who call for genocide should be stopped in their tracks, held accountable, and brought to justice long before they spread their fear and hit their personal 6 million murder mark. People who promote the destruction of Israel hate God.

I challenge you to stand up, speak up, and defend Jesus and the Jews from this current wave of the spirit of antisemitism, which is the spirit of the antichrist. It is your time , your turn in history, and your God-given responsibility to weigh in in support for Israel, Jesus, and the Jews.

Protest in peace and let your voice be heard.

I pray for your strength … you will need it.
