FACT: WHILE ISLAM HAS A HISTORY OF KILLING THE JEWS, MORE JEWS HAVE BEEN KILLED UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE CARRYING OF THE CROSS, THAN OF THOSE CARRYING THE SIGN OF THE CRESCENT MOON. (Islamic sign). There are 4 questions Christians must learn to answer.
BIBLE PROOF THAT WE ARE LIVING IN THE CLOSING SESSIONS OF THE DISPENSATION OF GRACE. ANTI-SEMITISM: is a Sin and as Sin it damns the soul. Genesis 12 v 3 “ I will bless those who bless you and whoever curse you I will curse”. It is time for the Christians to stop revering the dead Jews of the Old Testament bible, while they despise the Jews across the street. It is ungodly. In April 33AD Jesus of Nazareth was crucified. The New Testament church exploded and we saw the first division between Jews and Gentiles beginning to emerge. This was a DOCTRINAL DIVISION Acts 15. The real problem for the Jewish Christian was not whether Gentiles could be saved, but whether Gentiles had to adhere to the laws of Moses and be circumcised. The controversy intensified largely due to the success of the new Gentile churches. This argument was mostly led by converted Pharisees who occupied the Jerusalem church. These people were called Judaizers (ACTS 15 V 5) They preferred a legalistic religion and not one based on FAITH in Jesus Christ ONLY. Paul, Barnabas and the other religious leaders believed that although the Old Testament laws were very important it was NOT a requirement for salvation. Peter and James (the brother of Christ and the leader of the church at that time both believed that Salvation was by Faith in Jesus Christ with evidence of change by rejecting the old life style. After a meeting of the Council in Jerusalem the issue was formally settled although it continued to be a problem for many years. The second division was a DIVISION BY WAR….In 70AD, 37 years after Christ was crucified, in AD 70 , the Roman army under the leadership of General Titus with 80,000 men, besieged the city of Jerusalem for 6 months. THEY BLOCKED THE CITY, SO NO ONE COULD GET IN OR OUT. The Jews fought fiercely, but in the end 1 million Jews lost their lives. There was hunger and starvation so severe that human flesh was eaten to stay alive. Many who survived were taken into captivity, and carried off as slaves to the ends of the earth.. This is called the DIASPORA, (meaning they were dispersed from their land) The dispersal of history. 70,000 Jewish captives were taken to Rome where they were used to build the Coliseum eventually leading to the major entertainment for the Roman amusement games of feeding Jews and Christians to the lions, and using them as torch lights around the Coliseum. Jesus had made this prophecy on his way to the cross while the women were weeping, Luke 23 v 28 “ Do not weep for me, weep for yourselves and for your children’s children.” When the Diaspora began the Gentile Christians living in Jerusalem fled to a city called Pela, This the Jews considered Abandonment. They had believed the teaching that Jesus gave to the Jews and Gentiles in Luke 21 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that it’s desolation is near”. The Jews who stayed were slaughtered or went into captivity. After that besiegement Rome ruled the city, then in 132AD the Jews revolted and fought the Romans for 3 years, but lost the battle in 135AD by the Emperor Adrian, who slaughtered 500,000 Jews and blood ran like water in Jerusalem. They re-named the country of Israel Palestine, as an insult to the Jews naming it after the Jewish long time enemy the Philistines. The land of Palestine never existed before it was made up by Rome, all the original Palestinians were Jewish people. WHY DID THE JEWS FIGHT AGAINST THE ROMANS SO FIERCELY? When other regions that the Romans had conquered accepted their ruler ship which brought growth and prosperity and stability, the Jews rejected the Romans because the Romans had a Polytheistic belief of many gods. They didn’t object to the Jewish God, as long as the Jews accepted all the other gods as well, one could bring many gods, dozens of gods, but they could not tolerate the Jewish belief in only one God. The Jews refused the worship of multiple gods and only accepted the 1st Commandment. Rome placed an eagle as a symbol of their god at the end of the Synagogue and the Jews fought them fiercely. PRESENT DAY AMERICA has now began to embrace the Polytheistic belief, no absolutes, many Gods- the God of paganism. HOW WILL IT BE? WILL WE SERVE JEHOVAH GOD OF THE BIBLE OR MANY gods. The God of witchcraft is being taught in our schools, children have been given reading assignments on the Harry Potter books, teaching them to embrace the occult. 2nd King 17 v 33. God describes a backslidden Israel. “ They worship the Lord, but they also serve their own gods.. could that possibly describe America? We have become a pagan society when the Boys Club of America refusing to accept homosexual Scout Masters are getting censored and penalized. We become a pagan society when it becomes acceptable for a teacher to explain in detail to a 10 year old the occurrence of a homosexual act, yet it is illegal to hang the 10 Commandments in the schools. We have become a pagan society when we have voted to endorse abortion on demand. We have become a pagan society, when we have allowed the legal marriage of people of the same sex, in the meantime the courts are having request from the public to allow Polygamy (multiple wives) WE MUST EITHER HAVE ONE GOD OR MANY GODS. IF WE HAVE MANY GODS THE GOD OF HEAVEN WILL FORSAKE US. Allah is NOT Jehovah God of the Bible!!!! Buddha is not the God of the Bible. Satan is the god of this world, Hedonism is the god of pleasure; Secular Humanism is the god of intellectual idolatry. Our God is Jehovah Jirh; Jehovah Shalom; Jehovah Alssi, Jehovah Rophe . Jehovah God he is ONE God. He is our Provider, He is our Peace, He is our Banner, He is our Shepherd. He guides, he provides, He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemy, He anoint my head with oil. Now lets go back….The separation of Jews and Gentiles began DOCTRINALLY as we had said before in Acts 15 then the Jewish revolt against Emperor Titus of Rome in 70AD, followed by the revolt against Adrian in 135 AD in which 1.5 million Jews died defending the 1st Commandment. Now comes the vicious attack on the Jews by the Historical Church Fathers. The historical church fathers were greatly influenced by the Greek and their lack of knowledge of the Jewish roots of Christianity. They practiced REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY through ALLEGORICAL interpretation of the bible. Listen to the historical church fathers: Justin Martha: He lived 100AD to 165AD – He claimed God’s covenant with the Jews was no longer valid and that the Gentiles had replaced the Jews in God’s economy. 2 POINTS HE MADE: (A) God had broken his covenant with the Jewish people. (B) The CHURCH had replaced the JEWISH PEOPLE. HE IS WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS!!!! Then there was LUCIVIOUS another church father. He lived 263-339 AD – He declared the church was the true Israel of God and had replaced literal Israel on God’s covenant. Then there was John Christenstone he lived from 334 AD – 420 AD. He was the Bishop of the church in Antioch- He was described as the greatest preacher of his time. He said “ It is the duty of the Christian to hate Jews. The synagogue is worst than a Brothel, the synagogue is a temple of demons devoted to idolatry. It is a place of meeting for those who killed Christ, God hates the Jew and I hate you too!!” These are words from the most powerful church leader of that time of the historical Christian church. THAT MESSAGE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM MOHAMMED WHO SAID “Kill the infidels, persecute them until they submit” Then there was Jerome He lived 345-420AD “The Jews are incapable of understanding the scripture and should be severely persecuted until they convert to Christianity”.
