Prologue
Doctrinal error is nothing new to Christianity, but never before has a single doctrinal error had the far-reaching impact and posed such an enormous threat to global stability as this one. I refer to the widespread belief among America’s Evangelical Christian Community that America must always support Israel regardless of their behavior, otherwise America will suffer the curse of God. However, in reality, the actual consequences of this belief has not affected America at all, but instead has led to the destruction of one nation after another. Many of America’s most respected geopolitical analysts assert that most of the wars and regime changes that have been conducted or sponsored by America have been at the behest of Israel for the benefit of Israel[1], and also that America’s unlimited support of Israel is partly because of the Evangelical Christian Community.[2] At the present moment, this threat looms large. So, it is worth our time to examine the relevant Bible passages to expose the fallacy of this widespread belief. This presentation is directed only at the American Evangelical Community, not the Jews or Zionists. Nothing in heaven or on earth could ever dissuade the Jews from their staunch beliefs, so great is their need to be special and their willingness to be delusional. But it is my hope that Christians will be open to an objective presentation of God’s word.
A promise to Abram alone.
In all began with a promise to Abram, soon to be renamed Abraham, recorded in the Bible in Genesis 12:1-3. The main thing to notice about this important passage is that the promise is addressed to the man Abram alone and not to anyone else.
“Now the Lord had said to Abram:
‘Get out of your country,
From your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed’.” Genesis 12:1-3
To Jews, this is probably the best-known of all scriptures in the Bible. They cherish it and quote it all the time. but they always misinterpret it. They don’t know the meaning of the simple words “you” and “your” which God uses eleven times in this one passage. God’s words to the man Abram were intended for the man Abram alone. Read it again if you must. Nowhere in this passage is there an extension of the promise beyond the one-man Abram. Nevertheless, Jews throw around their assertion that verse 3, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you” as though it applies to anyone and everyone who claims to be Jewish today. It does not. ‘You’ means ‘you’ and ‘your’ means ‘your’. If I was to tell someone, “I am giving you something”, they know to whom I am giving something. If I was to tell someone, “I am going to do something for you”, they know precisely to whom I am speaking and who is the recipient of this promise. In this entire passage, God is speaking to the man Abram. Jews do not want us to have even the lowest level of understanding of a simple conversation. They want us to believe that “you” means “you and all your descendants”, but God did not say that, nor does the succeeding three millennia suggest that.
Proper biblical exegesis
It is now time to submit to the reader the proper way to conduct proper biblical exegesis. The first two requirements to arrive at the truth are these:
Believe the Bible
Interpret it objectively without any preconceived conclusions
The second requirement is especially crucial with this topic because the American Christian community has been thoroughly brainwashed on this topic and it will be most difficult to persuade them to believe otherwise. I most-heartedly encourage the reader to implement the above two requirements for determining the truth.
The blessing on Isaac and Jacob
The Lord then appeared to Abraham’s son Isaac and his grandson Jacob, and blessed each of them, but both of God’s blessings were about the land and Abraham’s “seed”. Nothing is said that would extend Abraham’s entire blessing to either of them. Gen. 26:2-5, 28:13-15
Later in a very dramatic encounter, Jacob wrestled with God all night, and Jacob said that he would not let go of God unless God blessed him. So, Jacob knew that he did not already have Abraham’s entire blessing. God did bless Jacob that night, but there was no mention of extending Abraham’s entire blessing to Jacob. (Gen. 32:24-30) If Jacob was going to inherit Abraham’s entire blessing, this would have been the time and place for God to do it. He did not.
No historical evidence of an ongoing blessing
Israel’s glory days did not last long. God was evident in the life of Israel from Abraham to Joseph to Exodus to Joshua’s time of conquest, and then to David and Solomon. But that was basically it. Immediately after the death of Solomon, the first king of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, Jeroboam, disobeyed God’s prophet. As a result, the prophet said:
“For the Lord will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, He will uproot Israel from this good land which He gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their wooden images, provoking the Lord to anger. And He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned and who made Israel sin” 1 Kings 14:15-16
There is a useful summary in Judges chapter 2 describing this same time when Jeroboam was king and going all the way up to the end of the Old Testament:
“Then the children of Isael did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served the Baals; and they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed other gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they bowed down to them; and they provoked the Lord to anger. They forsook the Lord and served Baal and the Ashtoreths. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. So He delivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies. Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for calamity, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn to them. And they were greatly distressed. Nevertheless, the Lord raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those who plundered them. Yet they would not listen to their judges, but they played the harlot with other gods, and bowed down to them. They turned quickly from the way in which their fathers walked, in obeying the commandments of the Lord; they did not do so.” Judges 2:11-17
There is also the significant matter of God’s curses as set forth in Deuteronomy 28 which Israel inherited as a result of their disobedience. This singular point will be covered in more detail later.
An objective reading of the rest of the Old Testament from this point on is confirmation of this. And every prophet, both major and minor, with the exception of Messianic prophecies, spoke judgment upon Israel and Judah for their unrelenting pursuit of evil.
There is also no historical evidence that God blessed anyone because he blessed Jews, or that God cursed anyone because he cursed Jews. I challenge anyone to show me, and you have over 3,000 years of history at your disposal. Nowhere in the Bible is there any occasion when someone blessed Isreal, so that part is covered. But many people and countries have cursed Jews and one would be hard pressed to show how any were cursed in return. For instance, several prominent military empires arose after Abraham and the exodus, including the Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian and Roman, all of whom demolished Israel and/or Judah. It is safe to say that demolishing the Jews and their nation qualifies as cursing them. Yet, I challenge any historian to show me how their conquest and subjugation (and in some cases, annihilation) of Abraham’s descendants brought God’s curse upon them. In fact, all of these military empires proceeded to go on to unimaginable greatness after conquering, and thereby cursing, the Jews.
The most dramatic conquests of Judah were by the Babylonians and Romans. The Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar conquered the entire land and escorted the entire Jewish population off into captivity in Babylon. The Romans were worse. They completely destroyed all of Judah as a nation, tore down the temple, killed or subjugated the entire population and removed Judah from existence.[3] Were the Romans cursed for this? Not at all. They went on to greater greatness. As for the Jews, the pitiful few who remained after the Roman slaughter were scattered all over the world, with no homeland. Their religion was reduced to a shell of its former self, becoming a mere Rabbinic clergy, without a temple, without sacrifices, without true Passover feasts, without Levites, without tabernacles and without their pharisaic culture. It is difficult to come up with words sufficient to describe the pitiful state of Jews from 70AD to 1948. Lost? Forsaken? Hated? Routinely Expelled? I think that qualifies as cursed. But Rome went on to become the longest-lasting of the great military empires.
God did make of Abraham a great nation, but that is not unique. There have been thousands of great nations, including the Arabs who became a great nation as a result of God’s promise to Ishmael (Gen. 17:20. So this part of the blessing does not support what Jews propose now.
The most conspicuous feature of the Jews’ nearly 2,000 years of diaspora was their expulsion from 109 nations. What other ethnic people can compete with that record of being offensive and repulsive to so many different countries? Ezekiel 36:16-28 explained it. Here is just a part of that passage:
“Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds; to Me their way was like the uncleanness of a woman in her customary impurity. Therefore I poured out My fury on them for the blood they had shed on the land, and for their idols with which they had defiled it. So I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the countries; I judged them according to their ways and their deeds. When they came to the nations, wherever they went, they profaned My holy name—when they said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, and yet they have gone out of His land’.” Ezekiel 36:17-20
God did extend His blessing to Abraham’s “seed”.
Now back to Abraham.
Three times, God promised Abraham that “in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed”:
“In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
Genesis 22:18
“And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands, and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.”
Gen. 26:4
“Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Gen. 28:14
God adds “and your seed” to His blessing on Abraham. Take special notice that on all three occasions, the word “seed” is singular.
When God extended His blessing to Abraham’s seed on these three separate occasions, God confirmed that His initial blessing in chapter 12 was limited to the man Abraham and not beyond. But God did extend His blessing to Abraham’s seed, so now we will look to see who is Abraham’s seed. The question is addressed and answered directly by St. Paul in the New Testament.
Who is Abraham’s seed?
Saint Paul discusses the “seed” specifically, and tells us who the seed is. First, Paul points out that the word “seed” was singular, not plural, and then that the seed was Christ. Paul explains that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, so that we might receive the blessing of Abraham. Paul states that this applies to the Gentiles, to whom he was writing, and then for everybody. It is important to note that this blessing is only possible because Christ removed the curse of the law. If you come away from this lesson knowing only one Bible passage, let it be this one:
“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith…. Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ.”
Galatians 3:13-16
And again in the same chapter of Galatians repeats the same point:
“And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abrahams’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Gal. 3:29
“Therefore, know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. … So, then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.”
Galatians 3:7, 9
The blessing of Abraham comes only through Abraham’s seed who is Christ, because the curse of the law needed to be broken. Paul makes the singular point that all of Abraham’s seeds do not receive his blessing, as Jews propose and pretend. Let’s look again at the verse that settles the matter:
“Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say ‘And to seeds,” as of many (all Jews), but as of one, ‘And to your Seed,’ who is Christ.”
Gal. 3:16
Do you see what Paul states so clearly? Three times. Do you get it? Paul removes any doubt on the subject. The blessing on Abram was to him and his “seed”, not seeds, and his seed is Christ, so only those who are of faith in Christ are sons of Abraham. Ethnic Jews have no claim to the promises.
Putting it all together, how can Jews be heirs of the blessing of Abraham if…
“Therefore, know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham…So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham…that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus…Now to Abraham and Seed were the promises made. He does not say “and to seeds’ as of many, but as of one, ‘and to your Seed’ who is Christ.”
Galatians 3:7, 9, 14, 16”
Got it? “Know that only those who are of faith (in Christ) are sons of Abraham”. Non-believing Jews are not sons of Abraham and do not have the blessing of Abraham. That is clear. Settled.
Who are God’s chosen people?
Saint Peter wrote that Christians are God’s chosen people, not Jews. Here is what Peter wrote to Christians:
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
1 Peter 2:9
Peter dramatically contrasts Christians from Jews. He makes it abundantly clear that those who have faith in Jesus are now God’s “chosen generation, the royal priesthood, the holy nation, God’s own special people who may proclaim the praises of Him who called them out of darkness into His marvelous light”. Peter made his point in his own inescapable way. God’s chosen people and then some.
Christians are the Israel of God
Christians have not only replaced Jews as God’s chosen people, but the Christian church has replaced the spiritual Israel. At the end of Paul’s letter to the Galatians, he calls these Christians
“the Israel of God”
Galatians 6:16
I take that literally. If Paul called the Christian church “the Israel of God”, that means that spiritual Israel has been replaced. This reality calls into question the long-honored belief among Evangelical Christians that the State of Israel has a profound spiritual significance to Christians. I personally do not understand the relevance of the nation of Israel to Christians. It certainly has no relevance to me. If Jews want to make it their homeland, that is their business. The same can be said of hundreds of other ethnic groups who want to make someplace their homeland. Most of world history is a record of ethnic groups fighting wars to carve out their own special place on earth.
This new spiritual reality was even difficult for the early disciples to accept. Right up until the very end of Jesus’ earthly ministry, they could not shed their worldly vision for Israel. They really wanted Jesus to return Israel to the worldly glory and status that it enjoyed under David. Consider this conversation that took place immediately before Jesus ascended to heaven, He had just told the disciples that “you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now”. (Acts 1:5) And how did they respond?
“Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Acts 1:6
They really didn’t get it. Today’s Jews are no different. They don’t understand that there is a new Kingdom of God on the earth and it is not the secular nation of Israel.
“for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 14:17
The context of this verse is a discussion of foods, but in the process, Paul provides a very useful definition of the kingdom of God under the New Covenant. He states that the kingdom of God is “righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit”. This stands in stark contrast to the kingdom of Israel which can be roughly described as ‘sin, war and turmoil in the spirit of antichrist’. Paul’s is not just a helpful definition of the kingdom, it is an instruction to steer clear of legalism and also a standard to which Christians should hold themselves.
Key Messianic Prophecies that Jews ignore
There are over 300 Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament that have already been fulfilled by Jesus. The “Jews for Jesus” organization posts its own list of the top 40.[4] I will provide several to give the reader some idea. The non-believing Jews of today have rejected them all, as have the Jews over the last 2,000 years. I will list a few here and put their full text in an Appendix.
Jeremiah 31:31 Tells the Jews that God will make a new covenant with the house of Judah.
Psalm 22:14-18 describes Christ’s crucifixion in excruciating detail
Isaiah 7:14 predicts Christ’s virgin birth
Isaiah 53:3-12 describes Christ’s complete work of redemption[5]
Daniel 9:26 foretells that the city of Jerusalem and the sanctuary (temple) will be destroyed after the Messiah comes. Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 70AD.
Jews have had these scriptures available since the time of the prophets. Rejecting them rejects Jesus as the Christ, which makes them antichrist.
Initial Conclusion
Anyone and everyone who asserts that Genesis 12:3 (“I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you”) applies to modern-day Jews is pushing false Jewish and Zionist propaganda that is devoid of biblical truth. Even if you only examine the Old Testament, you should be able to read what Genesis 12:1-3 really says, and the subsequent blessings on Isaac and Jacob, and the horrible biblical history of Israel and Judah from Solomon on.
New Testament references to “the Jews”
As every reader of the New Testament knows, the writers of the four gospels and Acts made reference to “the Jews” many hundreds of times, and every reference is to evil. It certainly is not to a group of godly, trustworthy, loving people acting like God’s chosen people. It is obviously to a group of ruthless, blasphemous, murderous enemies of God and His Christ. Was that not what you thought when you read “the Jews” in the gospels and Acts?
God’s blessings are conditional
“Now then, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine.” Exodus 19:5
“Today you have proclaimed the Lord to be your God, and that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments, and His judgments, and that you will obey His voice.” Deuteronomy 26:17
God’s blessings were only available if they disobeyed.
Deuteronomy 28. Blessings and Curses
The Jews were chosen to be God’s possession. But this was a two-way relationship. It involved blessings if they were obedient, and curses if they were not. An objective reading of their journey from Judges to Malachi was almost entirely a history of God’s curses on them because of their disobedience. The period of Joshua, David and Solomon was a brief respite. But, after their kingdom split into Israel and Judah, not a single king of Israel was obedient and righteous. Every single one was evil. Periods of God’s judgment and curses are repeated throughout.
The Jews constantly chased after false gods, principally the Canaanite gods Baal, Molech and Ashtoreth all of which involved idol worship, child sacrifice and temple prostitutes. Child sacrifice involved heating a large metal idol to red-hot and placing a live baby into its outstretched arms, whereupon the live baby burst into flames. They could also worship these gods by having sex with temple prostitutes. This idolatry was so widespread that during the days of Elijah, when the country’s population was five million[6], there were only 7,000 who did not worship Baal. (1 Kings 19:18) That left 4,993,000 who practiced this horrific form of idolatry.
The kingdom of Judah was not much better. The Babylonian captivity cannot be interpreted any other way. Take out the prophets, and what do you have? 1,500 years of disobedience. And the prophets’ message was always condemnation for their sins. How much blessing do you see, and how much cursing do you see?
Curses in Deuteronomy 28:15-68
Perhaps the single-most illuminating and relevant scriptural passage that explains all their problems is Deuteronomy 28. This chapter, dictated by Moses right after he delivered the law sets forth the blessings if they obeyed and the curses if they did not. Look at the 54 verses of curses and see if this doesn’t explain most of their history.
All the curses require 54 verses, too much for most people to read, so I have condensed it to about 10% and put that 10% in a footnote if you want to examine it.[7] In these 54 verses, God surely curses every single aspect of their life. That is a lot of curses, and it is difficult to find a single area of life that is not cursed in this passage. If you believe God’s blessings on the Jews, then you must also believe His curses. You must. All 54 verses of them. If Jews feel that they have had it bad, then maybe they should consider the possibility that they are cursed by God for their rebellion, disobedience, idolatry, dishonesty, unbelief and all the other commandments that they disobeyed, plus their rejection of their true Messiah. Think about what a curse it. It is not just punishment. It is an ever-present, all-encompassing misfortune and evil. It reads, “these curses will come upon you all and overtake you”. Deuteronomy 28:15
Israel persecutes Christians
At some point, I need to distinguish between regular Jews and Zionists. Not all Jews are Zionists. Jewish is an ethnic designation. Zionists are the Jews who advocate for or participate in the Jewish state, the nation of Israel. Not all Jews endorse the creation and maintenance of the State of Israel. In fact, some Jews adamantly oppose the formation of the State of Israel.
Just as the US Congress is split between the conservative Right and the liberal Left, Israel’s Knesset is split in their attitude toward Christians, but the clear majority is strongly anti-Christian, especially the Religious Zionists. The “Israel is for Jews” movement is quite popular. Another way to say that is, “Israel is not for Christians”. The predominant attitude in the Knesset and Israeli culture is adamantly anti-Christian. A close personal friend of mine pastors a Messianic congregation in Beersheba and he told me about the time when his church was violently invaded by a group of Orthodox Jews who attacked worshipers and destroyed the church’s interior. Fortunately, the rampage was recorded on video. The church went through all the appropriate legal channels with the Israeli government seeking justice, including a law suit against their attackers. The outcome would shock most Americans. The attackers were not punished in any way, but the church was fined the equivalent of $40,000.
The Israeli government is blatantly and actively anti-Christian, and turns a blind eye to all persecution of Christians and Messianic Jews. Prime Minister Netanyahu is fiercely opposed to all Christians in Israel but this is mysteriously unknown or overlooked by American Christians. This same Messianic pastor-friend is furious with American Christians, principally John Hagee, who donated $1 million to the Israeli government who in turn used it to persecute Christians.
Recently, the Israeli army attacked a Christian church, destroyed the interior, sliced off the face of Mary on a statue and beheaded a figure of the baby Jesus.[8] This is routine.
Outside of Israel, the press and Christians try to distinguish Israel from Netanyahu, who is blatantly obnoxious, self-righteous, hostile to Christians and a Jewish Supremacist. They claim that he doesn’t accurately represent Israelis. Nonsense. He does.[9] He is the longest sitting Prime Minister of Israel in its history serving 17 years as Prime Minister, 1996-1999, 2009-2021, 2022-present. He is antichrist and so is 95% of Israeli society.
If you are a Christian, you should know that most Israeli Jews hate you. They despise you. They spit on you. Just ask any Messianic Jew in Israel.
Christianity is a New Testament faith
How many Christians do you know that believe that supporting Israel and revering Jews above others is an integral part of the Christian faith? What if I was to tell you that this cannot be found anywhere in the New Testament. The entire Christian faith is contained in the New Testament and the prophets.[10] Nowhere else. If the Jews are still God’s chosen people and to be favored above others as a part of the Christian faith, then it should be in the New Testament. It is not. All mentions of Jews are in a very negative way. They constantly plagued, persecuted, harassed, tortured and finally crucified Jesus. One would be hard pressed to find anything in any gospel favorable to the Jews.
One of the last things that the Jews said before killing Jesus was, “His blood be on us and on our children.” (Matt. 27:25) They asked for it. They got it.
The book of Acts is a vivid account of the spirit of antichrist at work in Jews as they waged a relentless war against Christians.
Paul wrote 13 letters and stated that he “did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:26-27), and nowhere in Acts or in any of his letters did Paul bestow any special status on the Jews or on Israel. He did make it his practice to preach to the Jews first, but that does not bestow any other privilege on them other than first to hear the gospel. We will cover Romans 9-11 later.
After Paul’s letters, comes the Letter to the Hebrews. If there would be anyplace in the New Testament that would bestow a revered status on the Hebrews, it should have been in this letter. It does not. This letter is all about Jesus and the new covenant. Nothing about the Jews, at least not in a favorable way. Plenty of negative. This alone should be sufficient proof in itself that the Jews have no place in the gospel or Christian life and are not God’s chosen people, Christians are. The author of Hebrews states flatly:
“In that He says ’A new covenant’, He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”
Heb. 8:13
After Paul and Hebrews, come many letters from other apostles and none of them said anything about Jews or Israel having any special status or place in our faith. No “chosen people”. No revered status. The apostles made it perfectly clear that neither Jews nor Israel were anything special in their Christian faith. If they were, why didn’t Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, the writer of Hebrews, James, Peter or Jude ever mention it?
The Gentile Christians wanted to demonstrate how totally they had shed the shackles of Judaism by moving their day of worship from a Saturday-Sabbath to a Lord’s Day-Sunday. (Rev. 1:10). Paul did not take sides and declared the difference as irrelevant (Colossians 2:16), so Sunday has been allowed to persist as the day of worship for last 2,000 years and Christianity was not otherwise diluted and distracted by Judaism, until now, much to its detriment.
Christians who refer to our Father as Elohim or Yahweh and Jesus as “Yeshua Mashiach”, greet people with “Shabat Shalom”, and blow a shofar are not practicing a higher form of our faith as they suppose. They are misguided and diluting our New Testament faith with a pointless and destructive return to Judaism.
Antisemitism
Most issues, good and bad, that Christians encounter have an underlying spiritual explanation. Never was this more true than with the topic of antisemitism. With this topic, the most important and relevant scripture with a spiritual explanation is 1 John 2:22-23. From this one passage, all else falls into place:
“Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.”
1 John 2:22-23
The single-most conspicuous belief common to all non-Christian Jews is that they deny that Jesus is the Christ and Son of God. They have stuck to this belief for over 2,000 years. The spiritual result of this belief is they are liars and antichrist. Yes, all non-Christian Jews are liars and antichrist. John is clear about that. Isn’t he? How else can you label an ethnic people who uniformly deny that Jesus is the Christ and Son of God?
The Apostle John wrote this letter in AD 90.[11] He was the last survivor of the original 12 and knew first-hand how the Jews denied Jesus and behaved towards Christians. He may have even witnessed the stoning of James, the Lord’s ‘brother’ and Bishop of the church in Jerusalem, who was stoned by the Jews under the orders of the Jewish High Priest. He was more than well qualified to identify the antichrist spirit in the Jews, which makes John a devout antisemite.
John is not referring to The Anti-Christ as referred to in 2 Thessalonians and Revelation. John explains that there are many antichrists:
“Little children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.”
1 John 2:18
Few Christians have any trouble believing that Islam has the satanic spirit of antichrist. After all, they are constantly blowing-up innocent people. But Christians have a conspicuous mental block preventing them from believing that Jews have the satanic spirit of antichrist. What is the spiritual difference? This verse in 1st John states that those who say that Jesus is not the Son of God, the Muslims[13], also says those who say that Jesus is not the Christ, the Jews, are both equally antichrist.
Just as not all who profess to be Christians really are active Christians. They are Christians in name only and fail to practice the faith to any degree. So it is with Jews. I know many Jews and consider them valued friends, and most, if not all, of them are Jews in name only. My attorney, my doctor and my legal secretary were all Jews. I loved them and they loved me. And over the many years that we worked together, the issue of whether Jesus is the Christ never came up. I am confident that none of them ever thought about the issue. It would never dawn on any of them to go out of their way to deny that Jesus is the Christ. When I shared the gospel with them, they just remained silent. I dare not consign them to the status of antichrist. That is unthinkable. My all-time favorite scholar-commentator is Jeffrey Sachs, a Jew. Listening to him for 15 minutes is better than listening to anyone else for 15 hours. I have never heard him disparage Jesus or offer an opinion on His divinity. Secular Jews. The Jews of St. John’s day were very different. Their family life and community life was all about being Jewish, much like the Jews who live in Israel today. Both are aggressively hostile toward Christians. Constantly “breathing threats”. (Acts 9:1) They live and breathe antichrist. So, it is fair and accurate to identify those Jews who are destroying civilization and trying to destroy Christianity as antichrist.
Jesus was and is antisemitic
It may come as a big surprise to hear that Jesus is the biggest anti-Semite of all. But no one suffered more at their hands than He. No one experienced their spirit of antichrist like He. And there are many scriptures to prove it. All you need to do is read them and take them to mean exactly what they say.
Jesus told the Jews that they are of their father the devil.
“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.”
John 8:44 (for context, see [14] John 8:37-59)
Jesus told the Jews that they are in partnership with the devil. They work hand in hand.
Jesus called the Jews “liars”
Jews made false accusations against Jesus at His trial. Mark 14:57-58
Jews made false accusations against Paul at his trial. Acts 24:5-9
The phrase “he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” deserves additional attention. What are the devil’s resources? I submit that his resources are his total collection of lies that he has available for use whenever he wants. Jesus is saying that these are the same lies that the Jews have available and that they use. Look again at what Jesus told the Jews:
“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.”
John 8:44
Jesus also told the scribes and pharisees that they are “sons of hell”. Matt. 23:15
When Jesus told the Jews that they are of their father the devil and then describes the devil as a murderer and the father of lies, He was speaking from personal experience. He also said that they are sons of hell. Is that clear enough? Jews are antichrist in its purest form. Jesus’ antisemitism was fierce and quite personal. No one knows antichrist quite like the Christ.
Remember the times when Jesus condemned Jewish cities, including Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum for rejecting Him? Of them, He said,
“But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”
Matt. 11:20-24, Luke 10:13-15, 18
Jesus also unleashed His wrath on the Jews in dramatic fashion when He pronounced seven “woes” on them for their hypocrisy and evil. (Matthew 23:13-36[15]) He called them poisonous snakes, vipers and asked them, “How can you escape being condemned to hell?” (verse 33)
In the Book of the Revelation, Jesus wrote to the church in Smyrna:
“I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.”
Rev. 2:9
And to the church in Philadelphia, Jesus wrote:
“Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.”
Rev. 3:9
Jesus labels the Jews’ synagogue as a synagogue of Satan. How could He be more antisemitic?
When the Lord said, “who say they are Jews and are not, but lie”, the Lord refers to the requirement revealed in Galatians 3:16, that true Jews are only those who have faith in Him. Again, Jesus was being fiercely antisemitic.
Jesus told the Jews;
“For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are filled with dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.”
Matt. 23:27
“you are sons of those who murdered the prophets”
Matt. 23:31
“Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?”
Matt. 31:33
“that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth”
Matt. 23:35 (Think long and hard about this one)
Zionists and Judaizers always want to paint Jews with a special brush, overlooking any scripture that disparages them. But Jesus said,
“He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.”
Matt. 12:30
There is no middle ground when it comes to one’s position on Jesus.
When the Jews claimed special status, Jesus shut them right down,
Back to Jesus
“And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father’, For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.”
Matthew 3:9
Jesus’ conversation with Saul on the road to Damascus reveals His personal connection with the persecution of His saints, which no doubt remains true to this day. Jesus asked Saul, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”[16] Clearly Jesus said that Saul’s persecution of Christians was the same as persecuting Him. Can Jews who persecutes Christians be anything other than antichrist?
If you read the four gospels and make a note of every time Jesus rebuked, chastised and condemned the Jews, your writing hand will get very tired. He often complimented Gentiles[17], but He seldom, if ever, complimented a Jew for his faith. He only gave them priority in His ministry, otherwise, He harshly rebuked them and condemned them to hell.
It is equally revealing to notice what Jesus did not say. At no time did Jesus confer upon the Jews any special status. He never referred to them as God’s chosen people or revered Israel. He did acknowledge that He was sent to the earth to the Jews first. That was His designated landing site. For thousands of years, God had predicted that the Messiah would come to them. They were expecting Him. No other place on earth was. But while in their midst, He never mentioned any of the things that Jews claim, namely that they are chosen or blessed.
How do you think Jesus felt about the Jews after He devoted three years to the entire nation of over 1 million[18], teaching them, healing them, casting out their demons and basically pouring out His heart and soul for them, and then to have only 120 Jewish believers to show for it?[19] 120!!!
It is impossible to look objectively at what Jesus said about the Jews and all that the Jews did to Him and not conclude that Jesus considered them children of Satan. They certainly were His principal enemy and enemy of His followers. It is difficult to imagine what else Jesus could have said or done to demonstrate how adamantly antisemitic He was than what He already said and did.
Jesus taught us the truth. He was not giving mere opinions or groundless slander. He was speaking God’s truth. He said that Jews are “of their father the devil”, “murderers and liars”. (John 8:44) He taught us that Jews are children of the devil. Jesus taught us that Jews are “sons of hell”. (Matt. 23:15) He taught us that Jewish synagogues are “synagogues of satan”. (Rev. 2:9, 3:9) Jesus taught us that Jews are “vipers, poisonous snakes”, and that they are “condemned to hell”. (Matt. 23:33)
Jesus taught us that Jews are doing the works of satan. They are the enemy of God. Do you believe what Jesus said? He said that Jews are satanic and their goal is to steal, kill and destroy because they are of their father the devil. Wake up! If you believe Jesus, then you must believe that Jews are satanic, murderers, and liars!
The Apostle Paul was antisemitic
Chapters 9, 10 and11 in Paul’s letter to the Romans is devoted almost entirely to his position on the Jews. This letter was written to Gentile Romans and Paul felt the need to explain our faith’s Jewish background to these Gentiles. Here are some verses of note. None bestows any special status on Jews or Israel.[20] Rather notice how he condemns them:
9:8 “That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.”
9:31-32 “but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness. Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone.”
10:3 “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.”
10:12 “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.”
10:21 “But to Isreal he says: ‘All day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
11:7-8 “What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Just as it was written: ‘God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day’.”
11:20 “Well said. Because of unbelief they (the Jews) were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty but fear.”
11:23 “And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.”
11:28 “Considering the gospel, they are enemies for your sake”
11:32 “For God has committed them all to disobedience”
Even when Paul devotes three chapters to the Jews, he doesn’t say anything about them being chosen or special, or anything good about Israel. He does criticize them harshly. He says that the Jews are enemies, not children of God, are disobedient and contrary, unrighteous, unbelievers whom God has given a spirit of stupor, and eyes that don’t see and ears that don’t hear.
When Paul says “For God has committed them all to disobedience”, this is an all-encompassing condemnation of all Jews. It is not just a condemnation of their behavior, it is a statement of God’s judgment on them. “God has committed them” means just that. It means that it was God who committed them to His judgment. And God committed “them all”. And God committed them all “to disobedience”. They have certainly demonstrated all their disobedience to God. For this, they were “broken off” from God. For they are “a disobedient and contrary people.”
Paul was antisemitic.
Paul recounted his sufferings at the hands of the Jews:
“in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones.”
2 Corinthians 11:23-25
On one occasion, 40 Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul. Acts 23:12-35
Stephen was antisemitic
As Stephen was being stoned by the Jews, he said this to them:
“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers,who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.” Acts 7:51-53
Flavius Josephus, Jewish Priest, General and Historian was antisemitic
In his History of Roman-Jewish War, 66-74, a book described by the biblical historian Steve Mason as “perhaps the most influential non-biblical text of Western history”[21], Josephus provides a detailed account of this war in gripping prose. Born Yosef ben Matityahu, he commanded the Jewish forces in their rebellion against Rome and impressed all with his military genius. But in the process of leading this army of Jews, he constantly encountered the Jews’ barbarity and pointless stubbornness and was outraged by it. His descriptions of the Jews serve as a first-hand account of Jewish character. The word “horrible” is not nearly horrible enough to describe how horrible they were. Roman General Titus soon adopted the same opinion, which led him to retaliate by leveling the temple and annihilating the population. Because of his utter disgust with the Jews, Yosef changed his name to Flavius Josephus, renounced Judaism, became Roman and joined General Titus in Rome. The Romans were cruel and barbaric, but Josephus saw the Jews as much worse. They were and still are unredeemed to the extreme.
There was a second Jewish revolt against the Romans in 132 AD led by Simon bar Kokhba. This revolt resulted “in the near-depopulation of Judea through large-scale killings, mass enslavement, and the displacement of many Jews from the region.”[22] Demonstrating again what “the Lord said to Moses, I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people”. Exodus 32:9
Jews are Murderers just as Jesus said
Jews murdered Jesus.
Jews murdered Stephen.
Jesus told the Jews “you are sons of those who murdered the prophets”. Matt. 23:31
The Jews planned to kill Lazarus because Jesus had raised him from the dead. John 12:9-11
Stephen said the Jews “killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you (Jews) now have become the betrayers and murderers”. Acts 7:51-53
Forty Jews made an oath to neither eat nor drink until they had murdered Paul.
Before his conversion, Paul made “murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples”. (Acts 9:1) and approved of their murder. (Acts 7:58, 22:4-5)
Jews attempted to murder Paul by stoning him. Acts 14:19
Josephus was outraged by the Jews’ murderous rampages.
Jews murdered James, the Bishop of the church in Jerusalem and Lord’s ‘brother’.
Jews instigated the murder of Polycarp and other Church Fathers.
Martin Luther was antisemitic
In 1543, Martin Luther[24]wrote a 65,000-word treatise entitled “On the Jews and Their Lies” in which he denounced Jews and urged their persecution.
“In this treatise, he argues that Jewish synagogues and schools be set on fire, prayer books be destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, Jewish homes burned, and property and money confiscated. Luther demanded that no mercy or kindness be given to Jews, that they be afforded no legal protection, and ‘these poisonous envenomed worms’ should be drafted into forced labor or expelled forever. He also seems to advocate murder of Jews, writing ‘(W)e are at fault in not slaying them’…’In the treatise, Martin Luther describes Jews as a ‘base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth’ Furthermore, Luther writes that the synagogue has been an ‘incorrigible whore and an evil slut’”[25]
Connecting the Dots
It seems a good time to put some things together, namely the Jews and the devil. First, we will take a look at the devil. To do that, we will examine Jesus’ encounter with the devil recorded in Luke chapter 4.
“Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry… Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.” Luke 4:1-2, 5-7
The point of interest for us is that the devil claims to have authority over all the kingdoms of the world and is able to give them to whomever he wishes, and Jesus neither disputed this or denied it. Therefore, we may rightly conclude that it is fact.
Next, we will re-examine John 8:44, which states
“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.”
Jesus said this to the Jews. Note again that this is Jesus talking. He said the Jews 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 … he is a liar and the father of it.” It is inescapable that the devil is the father of the Jews. One might rightly ask “How is this possible?” The answer is that the Jews abandoned God and the devil took them up. When they disobeyed, they received all the curses as promised in Deuteronomy 28. When they were cursed by God, they were fair game for the devil. God’s judgment was also verbalized by the prophet immediately after the death of Solomon. Their entire history from Solomon to Jesus can only be described as catastrophic and is further evidence and proof of their satanic father.
Next, we will remind ourselves that “on the Jews was put all the righteous blood shed on the whole earth.” (Matthew 23:35) And the curse that this brings with it. Note that after Cain killed his brother Able, God told Cain, “ So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.” (Gen. 4:11) Cain was cursed for shedding righteous blood. Jesus said that “on the Jews was put all the righteous blood shed on the whole earth.”
Now, to connect the dots. The devil has authority over all the kingdoms of the earth, has the ability to give them to whomever he wants and is the father of the Jews, on whom was put all the righteous blood shed on the whole earth. So, let’s take a look at the results.
On a regular basis, political commentators make a curious statement about some leader of a country making an about-face or doing something nonsensical. The statement goes something like this: “…but then he just did what he was told to do.” Also on just as regular a basis, commentators ask, “Who is running the show?” “Who is telling them what to do?”
One direct connection is the new Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Marz, who is a former BlackRock executive, and who immediately backtracked on key campaign promises after being elected, and has been hailed as the worst leader in the world. (thewinepress.substack.com)
Kier Starmer, Prime Minister of the UK and the worst thing to happen to the UK since the Nazi Blitz in 1940 is not Jewish but his wife Victoria is Jewish and they are raising their children Jewish
You want to know who controls the world leaders, it’s the Jews. And you want to know who controls the Jews, it’s the devil. At this moment in time, and in an overly simplified way, there are four Jews who are causing enormous destruction on the earth. Rothschild, Zelinski, Netanyahu and Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock. They are all Jews. They are not only directed by the devil, they are protected by the devil. It really is that simple. All you need to do is believe the Bible. It has all the answers.
Jewish Bankers
It started with Mayer A. Rothschild, an Ashkenazi Jew, who kept his eldest son with him in Frankfurt, while he sent his other four sons off to different countries to establish financial institutions. Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836), his third son, went to London, England where he established N M Rothschild & Sons bank. Nathan was an inventive genius. If he wasn’t the first to think of it, he was the most successful to implement the idea that the best way to control a country was to lend it money. He famously said, “The man who controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply”.[1] This became the Rothschild family’s mantra; “control the world by controlling the world’s money supply”. The other Rothschild sons did the same. They made a fortune financing England’s part in WWI and learned that war pays. Nothing makes a country borrow money like a war, so the Rothschilds became the number one instigator of wars.
Karl Marx’s father, Herschel Mordechai, was a Jew. Leon Trotsky was a Jew. Vladimir Lenin’s great-grandfather, Moshko Blank, was a Jew. There is plenty of evidence that the entire Bolshevik Revolution was the handiwork of Jews and Jewish bankers. For example, there is Hassan Malik’s book, Bankers and Bolsheviks and an article entitled “The Internationalists & Rothschild Hegemony”. What follows is a quote from the article on Rothschild hegemony:
“Nathaniel Rothschild needed to overthrow the Romanoff dynasty in order to consolidate the domination of the Rothshchilds in Europe. With this in mind, he used Jacob Schiff and the Warburg brothers to finance a Japanese war against Russia. Rothschild hired Trotsky to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand in order to initiate WWI before arranging Wall Street finance to catalyze the Bolshevik Revolution. Trotsky, having married the daughter of one of Rothschild’s closest associates, Banker Abram Zhivotovsky, was lined up to lead the USSR following the revolution, but his position was usurped by Lenin, who almost immediately made peace with Germany.” (www.thebernician.net/the-internationalists-rothschild-hegemony/?amp=1)
The Jews control the money supply, so they control the country. And the Jews are children of Satan, so Satan controls the Jews. This explains so much. This explains why time and again the leader of a country does not do what the people want. He/she does what the Jews who hold the country’s debt want, which is what Satan wants. It doesn’t matter if 100,000 can march in the street. All that matters is that phone call from a Rothschild bank with his instructions.
In 1913, the Rothschilds established the current central bank in America, the Federal Reserve Bank. At this moment in time, Rothschild banks control most western countries. And who controls these Jews?
As much as I hate to use Hitler as an example, the stage has been set to present him as a good example. WWI left Germany in total ruins. There are newsreels of Germans pushing a wheelbarrow filled with German marks to buy a single loaf of bread. It is difficult to imagine any country in worst shape than Germany in 1933 when Hitler came to power. Six million Germans were unemployed and the economy was in total collapse. But in a matter of three short years, he raised Germany out of the ashes and into spectacular prosperity. Because the first thing Hitler did was throw out the Jewish bankers. He didn’t need legislative or judicial approval. He was dictator. He just threw them out and the result was nothing short of spectacular. Of course, he went on to show himself to be one of history’s most evil monsters, but his knowledge of Jewish bankers was right-on and is just as true today. He who controls a country’s debt, controls the country, and most of them are Jews.

The Military-Industrial Complex
This term was coined by President Dwight D. Eisenhower who had been the Supreme Allied Commander in WWII and had experienced first-hand the control they had over the weapons and materials that he was supplied. For instance, the Sherman tank was the worst on the battlefield. To get a glimpse into the working of this monster we will take a look at the top five weapons manufacturers and their shareholders:
Five of the top six global defense corporations are based in the U.S. They are Lockheed Martin, RTX (formerly Raytheon), Northrop Grumman, Boeing and General Dynamics. These five companies took in an astounding $196 billion in military-related revenue in 2022.
The Top Shareholders in these Top Five Defense Contractors are Vanguard Group, State Street, BlackRock, FMR LLC, Capital Group, Wellington Management Company, Newport Trust Company and Longview Asset Management.
Vanguard Group is intricately involved with Israel and its war in Gaza. (https://www.ulastempat.com/inernational/does-vangurar-grouop-support-israel-understnding-the-intricate-ties/)
Larry Fink, founder and CEO of BlackRock, is a Jew and extremely active in geo-politics. He invested $11 billion in land and minerals in Ukraine and a key player in the war there.
FMR LLC’s CEO Abigail Johnson is married to a Jew, George Hornyak.
The CEO of Capital Group is Michael C. Gitlin, a Jew
David Aaron Cantor, CEO of Longview Asset Management, is a Jew.
All the Church Fathers were antisemitic
In the history of Christianity, the “Church Fathers” have a significant place. These men were the second generation of church leaders, covering much of the Second Century, and were very devout, fervent and doctrinally pure leaders whose writings established the intellectual and doctrinal foundations of our faith. They wrote extensively about many doctrines, but all agreed that Judaism had no role in our true faith and adhered to what is called “replacement theology” which holds that Christianity completely replaced Judaism. They also bestowed no reverence for, special status to, honor, role or place on Jewish believers or Israel. In fact, they were all fiercely antisemitic. They serve as good role models for the church on this matter. Here is what some of these great Church Fathers believed and wrote:
Ignatius of Antioch (107-128), greatly revered among the Church Fathers, instructed his readers to oppose all things Jewish.
Polycarp of Smyrna 71-155
Here is a quote from a book about the Martyrdom of Polycarp:
“One of the consistent aspects of the Apostolic Fathers that bears considerable scrutiny is the nearly universally negative portrayal of Jews and Judaism in them. At times this portrayal is somewhat crude and at times it is relatively seriously done, and here in the Martyrdom of Polycarp we have another interesting look at the portrayal of Jews that has its own distinctive flavors of negative portrayal.”[27]
The Martyrdom of Polycarp documents that the Jews played a significant role in stirring up antagonism against Polycarp that led to his martyrdom, and their exultant behavior during his burning, and even afterward. Both Polycarp and his biographer were devout antisemites.
Justin Martyr (100 – 165 AD) is significant, because he was the very first Church leader to use the term ‘true Israel’ in reference to the church.
Irenaeus of Lyons (135-202) wrote extensively about the church being the true Israel. He advocated “replacement theology”, which places Christianity as a replacement for Judaism.
Tertullian (155-230) wrote a piece entitled An Answer to the Jews in which he spoke very disparagingly about them, including the statement that the Jews are “the seed-plot of all the calumny against us”. His rejection of all things Jewish is characteristic of the Church Fathers whose role in our faith is unquestioned.
Origin (182-254) wrote that the only positive function of physical Israel is that of being a type of spiritual Israel. The promises were not made to physical Israel, because according to Origin, she was ‘unworthy’ of them and ‘incapable of understanding them.’ Thus, Origen effectively disinherits physical Israel.
Clement of Rome (35-99) was the earliest of the Church Fathers and served as the third Bishop of Rome from 88 to 99. He is best known for a letter that he wrote to the church in Corinth in 98AD. In this letter, he addresses unity and honoring the leaders before them, such as Paul, but makes no special mention of Jews or Israel.
All of these early church leaders were prolific writers, too much for me to read all of it, but enough to know that there was not a single Jewish Christian among them. My personal observation is that the Apostle John was the last Jewish church leader. Their abundant writings not only did not include any reverence or honor for Jews, but rather they profoundly and unmistakenly made it clear that the Jews are nothing special and not a part of the faith and are not to be placed in any special position or status, but the exact opposite.
Antisemitic?
If you had asked Peter, Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, James, Jude or any of the Church Fathers, “Are you antisemitic?”, they all would have said, “Yes, of course I am antisemitic. Jews are the principal enemies of Christ and Christians, and violently so, and I am a Christian.”
Enemies
There are so many complexities in the world that it is a welcome relief when you can reduce any complex conflict down to just two parties. Those two parties are God vs satan, or to be more specific, Christ vs antichrist. Spiritually speaking, the root of all human conflict can be reduced down to the conflict between Christ and antichrist. All else pales in comparison. It is difficult to compete with God vs satan.
First, you must understand that satan is the ‘god of this world’ (2 Cor. 4:4), and his principal evil spirit[28] in his war against Christ and His Christians is the spirit of antichrist. So, you can understand that Christians’ world-wide adversary is the spirit of antichrist.
“Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that theAntichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.”
1 John 2:18
So, Jews are antichrist and if one can accept the fact that Jews are possessed with the spirit of antichrist, then one can understand that we have identified the personification of our enemy.
“Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.”
1 John 2:22
A high ranking and well-informed political figure, Harold Rosenthal, said in 1976, “Most Jews do not like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer and we are his chosen people. Lucifer is very much alive.”[23]
Once you identify the Jews as the principal agent of the antichrist, then your understanding takes a giant leap. Isn’t it helpful to be able to identify the principal agents of satan in any society? Then you understand the connection between the predominance of Jews in positions of power and influence and the proliferation of evil in that society.
“Concerning the gospel they (Jews) are enemies”
Romans 11:28
This is not a radical conclusion. It is nothing more than the only logical and reasonable conclusion that one could draw from the unequivocal facts presented.
The Pro-Israel Lobby
Presidents Nixon and Carter said that any Congressman who speaks out against support for Israel will not be in Congress the next term. Such is the power and ruthlessness of the Israel lobby. Carter said, “”There is no debate in America about anything that would be critical of Israel.”[29]
There is an organization named “Pro-Israel” that is used to funnel money into the campaign chests of US Senators and Congressmen (Representatives) in order to further the interests of Israel. What they contribute is available online on “opensecrets.org”. Here is what I learned about their contributions for the years 1990 to 2024:
Pro-Israel contributed $298,848,000 to US Congressmen in the US House of Representatives between 1990 and 2024.[30]
Pro-Israel contributed $40,491,000 to US Senators from 1990 to 2024. [31] Their contribution to Joe Biden was $4,230,000.
Most of these contributions were huge, many millions or many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Imagine if you will, if Pro-Israel gave $2 million to any one senator or Congressman personally, would he hesitate for a minute about supporting Israel with US taxpayer dollars? What do you think?
In addition to the Pro-Israel organization, there other organizations who contributed to Senators and Congressmen to advance Israel’s cause. Here are the top 5 for 2023-2024:
American Israel Public Affairs Committee $43,452,013
J Street $6,689,217
Republican Jewish Coalition $5,604,735
NorPAC $1,657,573
Democratic Majority For Israel $1,634,996
Total:
$298,848,000
$40,491,000
$43,452,013
$6,689,217
$5,604,735
$1,634,996
$396,719,000
You don’t need to be a political expert to understand what $400,000,000 can buy.
In addition to Pro-Israel, there is AIPAC, which is bigger than Pro-Israel.
“American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a powerful lobbying group widely known as AIPAC, has officially spent more than $100 million in the 2024 election cycle so far, pouring staggering sums into Democratic primary races in an effort to unseat progressive opponents of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip.”[32]
AIPAC carefully selects the races and candidates that matter the most to Israel and pours its money into them generously. Any candidate who is against Israel’s war in Gaza can expect his opponent to be flooded with all the cash that he wants.[33] It has been a good investment for Jews and Jewish Zionists. Israel owns Congress and the media.[34]
Before he was elected, Donald Trump was a generous contributor. His Evangelical Christian constituents had led him to believe that it was the equivalent of giving to God.
Mossad motto: “By way of deception, thou shalt wage war”.
Mossad claims that its motto is a quote from Proverbs 24:6, but true to their motto, that is deceptive. Prov. 24:6 actually reads “For by wise counsel, you will wage your own war”.
American Jewish billionaires are well organized in their pursuit to control Congress and the media.[35] The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, is Jewish.
Whenever you want to identify an evil organization, just look for whatever organization the Jews are vehemently denying that they are partnering with for evil. And as is their custom, accuse all critics of being anti-Semitism. For instance, there is the Freemasons, a well-known satanic organization. The vehemence with which the Jews deny their involvement is staggering. Yet even the Jews admit that numerous countries have accused the Jews of being leaders and prominent members of the Freemasons. (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Portugal, Serbia, Russia, Eastern Europe and Japan)
Not only are Congressmen financially motivated, they are also politically motivated. The Evangelical Christian Community is a significant part of the conservative voting block and they are led by pastors who are easily bought, and cheaply too. Just a few dollars spread around this bunch and they are all strong advocates of the “bless Israel-bless America” mantra. They are the principal target of this article.
Although this article is aimed directly and solely at the American Evangelical Community, I feel the need to distinguish between practicing Jews and secular Jews. My home city had a large Jewish community and I enjoyed many as close friends. They all identified as Jewish, yet none were practicing. I doubt that any attended any of the Jewish denominational (Reform, Conservative, Orthodox or Reconstructionist) synagogues regularly or ever wore a yarmulke even once. I do not accuse any of these secular Jews as antichrist. To me, they are no different than the multitude of Americans who identify as Christians but lack even a scintilla of evidence thereof in their lives. There is a big difference between vocalizing an adamant denial of Jesus as the Christ and being indifferent and silent. I just want to point out that supporting Israel is not biblical and antisemitism is biblical. Inciting the wrath of the powerful Pro-Israel lobby is bad enough without insulting millions of secular Jews.

In her book, You’ll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again (1991), Julia Phillips details her career as a film producer in Hollywood and discloses the power games and debauchery there in the 80’s and 90’s.[36] She lays blame for the dishonesty and debauchery principally at the feet of the Jews who controlled Hollywood and asserts that the only motive of the Jews in Hollywood that was more important to them than greed was the desire to destroy anything and everything godly. And in today’s society, Jews are also among the leading ultra-liberals, which equates to ungodly policies, such as abortion, gay rights, radical feminism, and gender flexibility.
The Talmud
The Torah was written before Jesus came, but the Talmud has many references to Jesus and Jews revere the Talmud almost as much as the Torah. It is quite revealing about their beliefs and teachings. Here are some quotes[26]:
Quotes about Jesus:
“Jesus…went and stood up a brick and worshipped it as an idol…he caused the masses to sin…Jesus the Nazarene performed sorcery, and he incited the masses, and subverted the masses, and caused the Jewish people to sin.”
Sotah 47a:14
“On Passover Eve they hung the corpse of Jesus the Nazarene after they killed him by way of stoning…because he practiced sorcery, incited the people to idol worship, and led the Jewish people astray.”
Sanhedrin 43a:20
“Didn’t the infamous ben Stada (Joseph) take magic spells out of Egypt… his mother’s husband, who acted as his father was named Stada, but the one who had relations with his mother and fathered him was named Pandeira, his mother Miriam (Mary)…This one strayed from her husband.”
Shabbat 104b:5 (Jews teach that Jesus’ real father was a man named Pandeira and that He was illegitimate.)
Judaism’s Talmud teaches that a sorcerer, through necromancy, raised Jesus Christ from hell where He was boiling in hot feces.
Gittin 57a:3-4
Jesus is commonly referred to as “ben Pandeira”, “Balaam” and “that man” in the Talmud. Sanhedrin 106a:42
Quotes commanding Jews to murder Gentiles (Goyim):
Sanhedrin 59a “Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal.”
Abodah Zara 26b “Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed.”
Sanhedrin 59a “A Goyim or Gentile who pries into the Talmud is guilty of death.”
Libbre David 37 “To communicate anything to a Goyim about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of Jews. For if the Goyim knew what we teach about them, they would kill us openly.”
Libbre David 37 “If a Jew be called upon to explain any of the Rabbinic books he ought to be given only a false explanation. Whoever will violate this order shall be put to death”
Yebhamoth 11b “Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age.”
Hikkoth Akum x1 “Do not save Goyim in danger of death. Show no mercy to the Goyim.”
Choschen Hamm 3a15 “If it can be proven that someone has been given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth.”
Choschen Hamm 266 1 “A Jew may keep anything that he finds that belongs to the Akum (which is another name for Gentile), for he who returns lost property to the Gentiles sins against the law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the law. It is praiseworthy however to return lost property to honor the name of God. Namely if the Christians will honor the Jews and look upon them as honorable people.”
The Three Oaths
In the interests of disclosure, I should bring “The Three Oaths” to your attention. There is a sizeable group within the Jewish community that is staunchly anti-Zionist and some of them base their opposition to the Jewish State on three verses in Song of Solomon and Midrash (a form of rabbinic exegesis) in the Babylonian Talmud. which they interpret to forbid the return of Jews to Palestine until God does it. Here are the verses:
2:7 “I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it (he) pleases.”3:5 “I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it (he) pleases.”8:4 “I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it (he) pleases.”
I do not understand their interpretation at all, but some Jews see something there. They interpret the third verse to say that Jews should abide by popular worldwide opinion in their approach to the State of Israel. To me, all of this is a stretch in the extreme.
Divine Protection or American Protection
Zionists believe in divine protection. They brag about it. But American Christians don’t. They think that they are Israel’s protection. To me, these American Christians are getting in God’s way.
Throughout the Old Testament, there are situations that can only be attributed to divine protection. And each time when God rescued Israel, He did it without the help of another country. He did it, not some other country coming to Israel’s rescue. He wanted the Jews to know that it was God who did it. It would appear that American Christians do not believe any of this. They think that America must protect Israel. So, we must ask ourselves the obvious questions, “Why are these Christians doing it?” and “Is America getting in God’s way?”
Genocides
Many genocides have been committed over the centuries, including:
Muslim Jihad that killed between 400 and 600 million from Spain to India.
Genghis Khan’s Mongol conquests (1219-1256) that killed 40-60 million (11% of world’s population), including 75% of the population of Persia.
Bangladesh in 1971 when 3 million Bengali nationals were killed.
Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia killed 3 million between 1975 and 1979.
Ottoman Turks killed over 1 million Armenians which amounted to 90% of their population, 750,000 Assyrians, and all Greeks living in Turkey between 1894 and 1922,
1994 Rwanda where ½ million Tutsis were killed
But to Jews, the worst, if not only, genocide in all of human history was the Nazi genocide of Jews during WWII.
Ask a Brit, Frenchman, American or Chinese “How many of your countrymen died in WWII?” and they can’t tell you. But ask anyone “How many Jews died in WWII?” and everyone can tell you, “6 Million”. Why is that? And who exactly calculated that figure? It is called the “Holocaust Derangement Syndrome”. Jews use the holocaust to advance their mantra that Jews are above all criticism, blame and accountability, even after 80 years and all the trouble they have caused in those 80 years. They are masters of it and it works.
Does America’s welfare depend upon its treatment of Israel?
Many Christians believe this point so firmly that they will get in your face to say it with attitude and defiance. First of all, one must ask, “Why does this relationship apply only to America? I have never seen this applied to any other country. Why is that? Why does America’s welfare dependent upon its treatment of Israel, but not any other country? Or all other countries?
My first reaction is to demand an example, any one example of this proposition. Shocked by the predicament, they cannot and never do provide an example. In reality, there have been plenty of disasters in America, but very few anti-Israel administrations since 1948. Eisenhower is the only anti-Israel administration that I am aware of and that was a wonderful time, perhaps the most wonderful, time for America.
In my personal experience, President Trump’s first term (2016-2020) was the most avid pro-Israel presidency and at the same time, America suffered its worst natural disasters in decades, wildfires covering five states, and the worst flooding that the Pacific Northwest has ever experienced.
As stated, America’s most prosperous time in the post-WWII era was during the Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961). It was truly a wonderful time. And of all presidents during this post-war era, Eisenhower was the most pro-Arab and least pro-Israel. He compelled Israel to evacuate the Sinai Peninsula after the Suez War, and he advocated Israel’s abandonment of both the West Bank and Gaza. PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) Chairman Yasir Arafat stated that he “still dreamed that another US President might do what Eisenhower did”.[37]
On the other extreme, America’s four years under Joe Biden were beyond horrible. He perpetrated a continuous stream of atrocities that devastated America, especially from a Christian point of view. It was a four-year disaster for America from which America may never recover, and Biden was so adamantly pro-Israel that he declared himself a Zionist. Biden told Netanyahu, “I don’t believe you have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I am a Zionist”.[38]
On May 19, 2011, President Barack Obama released a declaration describing his strong pro-Israel position.[39] What was the result? Two days later, on May 21, 2011, a devastating tornado struck Missouri; one that was so terrible that it earned a Netflix documentary and a memorial ceremony 14 years later.[40] Missouri likened the tornado’s destruction to WWII. The state of Missouri has a motto: “The Show Me State”. They should challenge all American Zionists to “show me” proof of their theory.
I have examined the welfare of America from 1948 to present, and in my considered opinion, as stated, the best time was the 1950’s when the pro-Palestinian Eisenhower was president and the worst time was 1963-1972 which included the assassination of JFK in 1963 and the Vietnam War (1964-1972), most of which was during the presidency of LBJ. So, were JFK and LBJ pro-Israel or not? It just so happened that JFK gave a speech in 1960 in which he set forth the significance of the establishment of the State of Israel in a profound and articulate manner.[41] Read this speech and you will conclude that he considered the establishment of the State of Israel as an event of enormous importance. LBJ was staunchly pro-Israel.[42] So, the best time in post-WWII America was when an avid anti-Israel man was president and the worst times were when two avid pro-Israel men were president. This whole proposition is a joke, and the perpetrators of this lie should be exposed for what they are, liars and frauds!
Identifying our enemy
Why is it that Christians cannot identify their enemy right before their eyes? Paul wrote that Christians do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the wiles of the devil, satanic powers. (Eph. 6:11-12) And John wrote that those who deny that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God have the satanic spirit of antichrist. (1 John 2:22-23) So, Jews have the satanic spirit of antichrist which is the wiles of the devil against which we wrestle.
Paul is a great example. Jews were Paul’s principal adversary. (2 Cor. 11:23-25, Acts 23:12-35) Jews blatantly manifested the satanic spirit of antichrist.
Those Christians who are students of eschatology (end-times or last-days theology) are acutely aware of the importance to recognizing the Anti-Christ and distancing themselves from him. They can start by recognizing that non-believing Jews are antichrist and that they pose a special brand of danger to Christians.
In one particular passage of scripture, Paul warns Christians about various evil behaviors that mark the last days. (2 Timothy 3:1-9.[43]) Conspicuous among these behaviors are those that are characteristic of most Jews:
“But know this, that in the last days perilous (fierce, stressful) times will come; for men will be lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers… unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away.”
2 Timothy 3:1-5
Remarkable isn’t it, that those people who have already been designated as antichrist would also have so many of the same traits as the evil people in the last days? A professional profiler couldn’t describe Jews any better than that. Yet a large portion of America’s Christian Community reveres the Jews and Israel. How deaf, blind and stupid is that? Paul warns, “from such people turn away”.
The Promised Land
I have saved our discussion of the “Promised Land” until now because it is a vast topic, fairly lengthy and may not be of interest to all. The first thing to know about the promised land is that it is a totally different topic than what we have discussed up until now. The promise to Abraham and his seed was conditional upon their obedience and subject to the curses in Deuteronomy 28. The “promised land” was promised to not only Abraham, but also to Isaac and Jacob and their descendants. That is totally different than the other promise. And it was not conditional. It was like a deed, recorded in the word of God. Throughout the ages, all people, Jew and Gentile alike, who owned land had a deed and their ownership was, and is, not contingent upon how they behave. They own it. When we look at these promises, we need to notice three things. They involve:
- only land
- the gift passes to them and all their descendants
- the gift is “forever” or “everlasting” (not conditional)
Land to Abraham and his descendants forever
Genesis 13:14-17 “And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15 for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever. 16 And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. 17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”
Genesis 15:18 “On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates”
Genesis 17:8 “Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”
Land to Isaac and his descendants
Genesis 26:3 “Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you (Isaac) and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.”
Land to Jacob and his descendants
Genesis 28:13 “And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: “I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you (Jacob) lie I will give to you and your descendants.
Understanding this promise will help us understand what has happened to the Jews over the past two millennia. After the fall of Jerusalem in 70AD, Jews were scattered all over. But they were not welcome anywhere. Jews were kicked out of their host countries 109 times.[44] (other statistics say 79 times)[45] This is a fact. What other ethnic group can compete with this statistic? Jews blame this on antisemitism persecution, but they were expelled for many reasons. So, why?
Why Iran?
At present, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is pushing America to bomb Iran. Why? Iran is not within the promised land. (Gen. 15:18) The River Euphrates is in Syria and Iraq. No part of the river is in Iran. Either Netanyahu does not know his Bible or does not know his geography. Probably both.
109 antisemitic countries
In order for Jews to be expelled from 109 countries, they must be repulsive. Why else? Their ability to inspire hatred is unique in world history. In my home city, Jewish businessmen have a saying, “If you let me cheat you, it’s your fault”. All these countries expelled the Jews to protect their country’s culture and social order. It is apparent that no other ethnic group can compete with the Jews’ ability to be as abhorrent to their host country like Jews can. Are you going to say that 109 antisemitic countries are wrong and the Jews are right?
The only flattering Explanation
The only flattering explanation for why Jews were expelled from so many countries is that God did it. He had promised them their own land, but they weren’t interested. They wanted to run profitable businesses where their only competition was “Stupid Goyim”. There is no denying that they are good at it, but why would they want to do business someplace where all their competition was other Jews? But starting in 1869 and running right up to WWII, God unleashed His plan to get the Jews to go home. Here is my personal rationale of three events specifically designed by God to influence Jews to immigrate to Palestine.
First, in 1869, Mark Twain published The Innocents Abroad, which was an account of his personal trip to Palestine. This alone is miraculous. Why would America’s greatest writer want to leave America, stop writing and travel to Palestine by himself? But he did, and his book describes the land in great and vivid detail, as only one of America’s greatest writers could. (I read it) He found that the land was void of all things civilized. He walked the better part of the entire nation (he commented on how small the nation was) and found no paved roads, no normal houses, no schools, no hospitals, and no stores , and no churches outside of Jerusale. And very few people. Outside of Jerusalem, he saw only Bedouins who lived a nomadic life in tents. He was thoroughly disgusted with the Bedouins. He put them at the very bottom of the ladder of civilized life. Here is one story that he told. As he and his traveling companions were walking down a dirt road, they saw a group of Bedouins approaching them from the other direction. There was a woman holding a small child in her arms and the child’s eyes were surrounded by black. Twain was surprised that this woman could afford dark goggles for her child because he assumed that the black was goggles. But when they got closer, he could see that the black was not goggles but two swarms of flies. Flies covered both eyes completely, and the mother did nothing to wave them off. Twain was grossed-out.
Jerusalem was different. There, he saw roads, houses, stores, churches and different groups of people. All the people seemed to be there for religious reasons. There were five groups; Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox Christians, Orthodox Jews and Muslims.
There were some Jews in the countryside, but not many. They had bought land from the Bedouins, who sold them only the worst land, either rocky or swampland.
Mark Twain wrote dozens of books and short stories and was wildly popular. For instance, Twain wrote Tom Sawyer (1876) and Huckleberry Finn (1885). Twain’s book about Palestine was a real eye-opener to most and broadcast to the world that there was no visible presence of the Ottoman Empire, and that Palestine was there for the taking.
The next step in God’s Master Plan for the promised land was via Theodore Herzl. I will quote Wikipedia:
“Theodor Herzl (2 May 1860 – 3 July 1904) was an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist, lawyer, writer, playwright and political activist who was the father of modern political Zionism. Herzl formed the Zionist Organization and promoted Jewish immigration to Palestine in an effort to form a Jewish state. Due to his Zionist work, he is known in Hebrew as Chozeh HaMedinah (חוֹזֵה הַמְדִינָה), lit. ’Visionary of the State’. He is specifically mentioned in the Israeli Declaration of Independence and is officially referred to as ‘the spiritual father of the Jewish State’. … Confronted with antisemitic events in Vienna, he reached the conclusion that anti-Jewish sentiment would make Jewish assimilation impossible, and that the only solution for Jews was the establishment of a Jewish state. In 1896, Herzl published the pamphlet Der Judenstaat, in which he elaborated his visions of a Jewish homeland. His ideas attracted international attention and rapidly established Herzl as a major figure in the Jewish world.”[46]
This man did all that he could to get Jews around the world to immigrate (called aliyah in Hebrew) to Palestine to occupy their promised land. The estimated 24,000 Jews in Palestine in 1882 represented just 0.3% of the world’s Jewish population.[47] His efforts produced some, but not much, success. “In the late 19th century, 99.7% of the world’s Jews lived outside” Palestine.[48]
The third part of God’s Master Plan was the “Balfour Declaration”. After WWI, all of Palestine was awarded to Great Britain, thanks to the British’s defeat of Germany and Turkey in Palestine. (Lawrence of Arabia) But while the war still raged on, Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour wrote a letter to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, dated Nov. 2, 1917, which reads as follows:
“His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
This declaration from the British Government, who at the time was the sole administrative authority over Palestine, granted all Jews the world over to immigrate to Palestine under the full authority and protection of the British government. The results were again negligible, pitiful in fact.
Statistics depend upon your source and are routinely inconsistent, but this will give you a general idea of the number of Jews that were in Palestine:
1896 20,117
1922 84,000
1931 174,610
1936 384,000
1939 449,000
In 1939, there were 16,600,000 Jews in the world. Half of them lived in either America or Poland. The 449,000 who lived in Palestine was a mere 2.7% of the world’s Jews. The percentage of Jews who lived in Palestine had only risen from 0.3% in 1896 to 2.7% in 1939. God had done His best to invite Jews to Palestine to fulfill their divine destiny and inhabit their “Promised Land”, using Mark Twain, Herzl and Balfour. But the Jews apparently wanted to stay where they were and run their successful businesses.
The Jewish population in Germany is perhaps the best example. Hitler published Mein Kampf (My Struggle) Volume I in 1925 and volume 2 in 1926 in which he wrote that Judaism and Communism were the world’s two great evils. He also raged against the Weimar Republic, Social Democrats, and Marxists, whom he said were controlled by Jews. Did the hundreds of thousands of Jews who remained in Germany read his books? Most Germans did, especially after he came to power in 1933, but in 1933, there were still 522,000 Jews in Germany. And in 1933, the persecution of all Jews became official Nazi policy and synagogues were destroyed, all Jews were denied all civil rights and Jews were publicly beaten by Nazi Brownshirts. Then on Nov. 10, 1938, the Nazis launched the “Night of Broken Glass” when all Jewish businesses were violently attacked. But still, 214,000 Jews remained in Germany. Can you imagine the level of stiff-necked-stubbornness required to do this?
So, in my opinion, God had to pull out His big guns. The Holocaust. I know that even a suggestion of such a thing is repugnant to many, if not most. But I ask you, how do you explain it? The Jews had flatly refused to go to Palestine. My opinion is shared by Moses who described the Jews as a “stubborn and stiff-necked people”. (Exodus 32:9) If God wanted to fulfill His promise, how was He supposed to get them to do it? That is apparently what it would take. And it did. It is not necessary that you agree with me, but tell me, would Israel be a country today if there had been no holocaust?
2018 Nation-State Law
In keeping with the philosophy that Israel is for Jews, Israel passed the “2018 Nation-State Law”, which is more of a declaration than a law, but that’s its name.
This Israeli law does three big things:
- It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people.”
- It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”
- It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”
That first provision that states that “the right to exercise national self-determination… in Israel is…unique to the Jewish people” is the most controversial part because it denies all non-Jews in Israel all national rights. Technically, Jews who live outside of Israel have more rights than non-Jews who live in Israel.
The irony of the American Jew
American Jews relish their success in America. They prosper. They live without any real persecution and without any fear of being expelled. Christians revere them as God’s chosen people. They got it made in America and never consider leaving. But what if Jesus returns while they are in America and they have not yet believed in Jesus? They are surely condemned. But for those Jews who are in Israel, they will be afforded a good chance of salvation.
“they who dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer. And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel, says the Lord God.” Ezek. 39:26-29
Thus, America with its undying and limitless devotion to Jews becomes the principal violator of God’s plan for the Jews.
Israeli Prime Ministers who changed their names
In a desire to appear more Jewish than Eastern European, many of Israel’s Prime Ministers changed their names to a name that sounded more Jewish. Here are some:
Adopted Jewish Name Birth name
David Ben-Gurion (1948–53) David Grün
Moshe Sharett (1953–55) Moshe Chertok
Levi Eshkol (1963–69) Levi Yitzhak Shkolnik
Golda Meir (1969–74) Golda Mabovitch
Yitzhak Rabin (1974–77) Yitzhak Rubitsov
Yitzḥak Shamir (1983–84) Yitzhak Yezernitsky
Shimon Peres (1984–86) Szymon Perski
Ehud Barak (1999–2001) Ehud Brog
Ariel Sharon (2001–06) Ariel Scheinerman
My story
I came to faith in Christ in 1971 and have been an active believer ever since. I was immediately indoctrinated into the “Jews are God’s Chosen People” camp and believed that right up until the time I began this Bible study. As is my practice, I began this study in accordance with my own two guiding principles: (1) believe the Bible and (2) start without any preconceived conclusions. I really was surprised with what I discovered and ever-so-slowly as I unearthed more and more biblical evidence, I eventually became a vehement antisemite. My personal conclusion is that non-believing Jews are antichrist, very active enemies of Christ and Christians, truly evil and a principal source of turmoil, problems, trouble and wars on a world-wide scale and the corruptor of societies. They are evil.
Let the light shine on you
Once you understand that Anti-Semitism is biblical, the blinders come off and a whole new light of understanding flashes before your eyes
Summary
Abraham’s blessing does not extend to modern-day Jews. The blessing was only for the man Abraham himself (Gen. 12:1-3) and to his “seed” (Gen. 22, 26, 28), Christ. So, only those who have faith in Christ, whether Jew or Gentile, have the blessing of Abraham. (Galatians 3:16) Modern-day Jews have no biblical claim to the blessings of Abraham.
Deuteronomy 28 includes both blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The biblical history of Jews provides plenty of proof of their disobedience and the 54 verses of curses brought upon them in reply.
There is no historical evidence that those who bless Jews are blessed or those who curse Jews are cursed. And there is no correlation between American presidents who supported Israel and blessings or between presidents who did not support Israel and curses.
Jews are not God’s chosen people. Christians are (1 Peter 2:9).
There is nothing favorable to Jews or Israel in the New Testament. Only condemnation. Christianity completely replaced Judaism.
St. John wrote, “Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either, he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” 1 John 2:22-23
All the Church Fathers of the 2nd Century were staunchly antisemitic.
Jesus, Paul, all the Apostles, Flavius Josephus and all the Church Fathers were all antisemitic.
Antisemitism is biblical.
Jews have been and still are opponents, adversaries and enemies of Christ, Christians and Christian values. The government of Israel is anti-Christian.
Antisemitism is justified, and any Jew who screams “antisemitism” should be challenged about its justification and held accountable for their ungodly actions.
Pro-Israel organizations gave $400,000,000 to members of the US Congress between 1990 and 2024, plus donations from AIPAC to buy their support for Israel. It worked.
America’s welfare is in no way connected to its stance on Israel.
Support for Israel is contrary to God’s will.
The promised land is different
Appendix A
Jews expelled from nations
19 CE Expulsion from the city of Rome by Emperor Tiberius together with practitioners of the Egyptian religion.
38 CE Jews were expelled from one of their quarters in the city of Alexandria, in Egypt, under the instigation of Aulus Avilius Flaccus.
41–53 CE Claudius’ expulsion of Jews from Rome.
73 CE The Jewish defeat in the First Jewish–Roman War (66–73 CE) resulted in significant loss of life from battle, famine, and disease, extensive city destruction—including Jerusalem—and widespread forced displacement. Many Jews were enslaved or sent into forced labor in locations such as Egypt and the Isthmus of Corinth, while others were dispersed across the Roman Empire. Young men were coerced into gladiatoral combat, and others were sold into brothels or slavery. As a result, a substantial portion of the Jewish population of Judaea was either expelled or displaced.
117 The suppression of the Diaspora Revolt (115–117) involved a devastating campaign of ethnic cleansing that resulted in the near-total annihilation and expulsion of Jews from Cyrenaica, Cyprus, and large portions of Egypt.
135 The Bar Kokhba revolt (132–136 CE) had catastrophic effects on the Jewish population in Judaea, resulting in massive loss of life, extensive forced displacements, and widespread enslavement, which left central Judea in a state of desolation. Some scholars describe the Roman suppression of the revolt as constituting an act of genocide. Following the revolt, Jews were expelled from the vicinity of Jerusalem and the districts of Gophna, Herodion, and Aqraba. The revolt triggered a significant migration of Jews from Judea to coastal cities and Galilee. Jewish captives were sold into slavery and dispersed across various parts of the empire, causing a significant influx of new slaves into the market.
415 After a massacre of Christians by some Jews, Jews were expelled from Alexandria under the leadership of Saint Cyril of Alexandria. Sources differ over whether all Alexandrian Jews were expelled or just the ones involved in the massacre.
418 Jews expelled from Minorca or asked to convert.
Sixth to tenth centuries
612 Visigothic king Sisebut mandated that every Jew who would refuse for over a year to have himself or his children and servants baptized would be banished from the country and deprived of his possessions.
629 The entire Jewish population of Galilee massacred or expelled, following the Jewish rebellion against Byzantium.
7th century
After his victory in the Battle of Medina, Muhammad sat and watched as 700 Jewish men from the Banu Qurayza tribe were beheaded in front of him, an event so well documented that Muslims have been unable to hide. Muhammad then expelled the Jewish tribe Banu Nadir from Medina, and the Jewish settlement of Khaybar was ransacked.
Eleventh to thirteenth centuries
Expulsions of Jews in Europe from 1100 to 1600
Mid-12th century
The invasion of Almohades brought to an end the Golden age of Jewish culture in Spain. Among other refugees was Maimonides, who fled to Morocco, then Egypt, then Palestine.

Key Messianic Scriptures
Jeremiah 31:31
“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah”
Psalm 22:14-18
“I am poured out like water,
And all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted within Me.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.
16 For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
They pierced My hands and My feet;
17 I can count all My bones.
They look and stare at Me.
18 They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.”
Isaiah 53:3-12
“He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
9 And they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
11 [o]He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He shall divide the [p]spoil with the strong,
Because He poured out His soul unto death,
And He was numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And made intercession for the transgressors.”
Isaiah 7:14
“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”
Daniel 9:26
“And after the sixty-two weeks
Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;
And the people of the prince who is to come
Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The end of it shall be with a flood,
And till the end of the war desolations are determined.”

17 “Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
18 “Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

20 “The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all …plague cling to you
22 The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword with scorching, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish
23 change the rain of your land to powder and dust
25 defeated before your enemies.
26 Your carcasses shall be food for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth
27 boils
28 madness and blindness and confusion of heart
29 you shall be only oppressed and plundered continually
30 You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall lie with her

39 worms shall eat them
40 your olives shall drop off

42 Locusts shall consume all your trees and the produce of your land.
you shall come down lower and lower
45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you
47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything
48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you
51 And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed.

58 “If you do not carefully observe all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, THE LORD YOUR GOD,
59 then the Lord will bring upon you and your descendants extraordinary plagues—great and prolonged plagues—and serious and prolonged sicknesses.
60 all the diseases of Egypt
61 every sickness and every plague
63 And it shall be, that just as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good and multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you and bring you to nothing; and you shall be plucked from off the land which you go to possess.
64 Then the Lord will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you shall serve other gods
65 And among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place; but there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and anguish of soul
68 you shall be offered for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, Deuteronomy 28:15-68

[13] Qu’an Surah Al-Baqarah Ayat 116
[14] “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.”
39 They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.”
Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 You do the deeds of your father.”
Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 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. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50 And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51 Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”
52 Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’ 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?”
54 Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is [o]your God. 55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”
57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going[p] through the midst of them, and so passed by.
[15] 13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. 14 [a]Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
15 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of [b]hell as yourselves.
16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’ 17 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that [c]sanctifies the gold? 18 And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’ 19 Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore he who [d]swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. 21 He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who [e]dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.
23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 24 Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and [f]self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and [g]adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. 33 Serpents, brood[h] of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? 34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.” Matt. 23:13-36

“For the Palestinians, efforts to delegitimize Israel will end in failure. Symbolic actions to isolate Israel at the United Nations in September won’t create an independent state. Palestinian leaders will not achieve peace or prosperity if Hamas insists on a path of terror and rejection. And Palestinians will never realize their independence by denying the right of Israel to exist.”
“As for Israel, our friendship is rooted deeply in a shared history and shared values. Our commitment to Israel’s security is unshakeable. And we will stand against attempts to single it out for criticism in international forums. But precisely because of our friendship, it’s important that we tell the truth: The status quo is unsustainable, and Israel too must act boldly to advance a lasting peace.”

[40] “The “horror of the Joplin tornado” is the subject of a new documentary film, released nearly 14 years after the twister struck Missouri with cataclysmic force, ripping into a hospital, destroying neighborhoods and killing around 160.
“You see pictures of World War II, the devastation and all that with the bombing,” Kerry Sachetta, then the Joplin High School principal, told The Associated Press on the evening of May 22, 2011, after the school was destroyed.
“That’s really what it looked like,” Sachetta said.
As he spoke on that dreadful night, fires from gas leaks burned across town. The EF-5 twister, then the single deadliest in six decades, packed winds of 200 mph (320 kph). At times, it was nearly a mile (1.6 kilometers) wide. Left in its wake was a hellscape of cars crushed like soda cans and shaken residents roaming streets in search of missing family members. About 7,500 homes were damaged or destroyed.” https://apnews.com/article/joplin-tornado-2011-missouri-netflix-documentary-91e905d6d4693d14e86ad7e2a8c24bc5

And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.” 2 Timothy 3:1- fn a times of stress
