What we are seeing now in this
widespread public and sometimes violent display of hatred against the Jews is
heartbreaking and terrifying to all believers!
And surely to the Jewish people!
Imagine how they feel, especially those still alive who directly were or
indirectly had family members caught up in the horror of the holocaust!
Imagine!
If you are not a Jew, I doubt you
fully can. But seeing how I feel, I
think we can come close.
It is astounding and shocking to
see so many mentally and morally and spiritually blind people on college
campuses and on street corners in big cities and elsewhere chanting horrible
slogans and being so threatening against the Jews.
And why?
Because of the history of the
Jews, of course. Because they are God’s
original chosen people. (We Christian
believers have been grafted onto the root that is this group of people as Paul
tells us in Roman’s 11, so that today we are also God’s chosen people.)
All these screaming know-nothings
are just that: know-nothings. They hate for no reason. They have no knowledge or depth of
understanding.
Throughout history, from God’s
calling Abraham, the original patriarch of the Jews, there have been all sorts
of incidents that have led groups to hate the Jews. You can read about these. Early on there is the birth of Isaac through
whom God’s direct line for the Jewish people was transmitted. But that birth pushed aside Ishmael, born to
Hagar – a servant of Abraham’s wife Sarah – and Abraham. Ishmael eventually becomes the father of the
Arab people (Genesis 16).
And then there is the next
generation and Jacob’s supplanting the inheritance of his twin brother Esau
(Genesis 27). Again this is God’s line
for the people. But again Esau and his
descendants were pushed aside. Esau is
the ancestor of the Edomites who lived east of the Jordan.
From the very beginning the devil
has obviously hated the Jews. Somehow he
seems to have understood that reconciliation of people to God came through the
Jews, but he obviously did not understand how this happened or was to
happen. Apparently he thought he had
victory when he got Jesus onto the cross, but as we know that was in fact God’s
plan. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice
for our sins. He earned forgiveness for
us, and opened the way back to God for all who believed in him.
This evil one obviously thought
if he could just wipe out the Jews he would be ok. We see his surrogate in the leader of the
Nazis in WWII. What a horror. And we see the same sentiment and approach
all the way back to a couple hundred years before Jesus was born, to the nation
of Persia where the king was almost led to exterminate the Jews but God saved
the people through Esther. Persia, by
the way, is modern-day Iran.
We believers in the Lord Jesus
Christ who so eagerly await his soon return cannot sit idly by and let this
hatred of the Jews by so many spiritually and intellectually lost ungodly
people continue and build. Even in this
short time that remains before the Lord returns, we must all do our best to
stand against such outrageous evil. Pray
for peace and protection for the Jews.
Pray that this ungodly evil will dissipate and be gone. Take whatever steps you are led to take to
speak out or write or even – let’s hope this is not necessary – to physically
protect and shelter the Jews in an increasingly ungodly and lost world.
And take comfort in all this:
Jesus Christ is coming soon!
Thank God!
