* SIGN OF THE TIMES: PUBLIC HATRED OF THE JEWS - TAKING A STAND

 


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!
