IS GOD AN ANTISEMITE? OLD TESTAMENT EVIDENCE
By Rev Simon Weismann
By Rev Simon Weismann
MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE CHURCH: This article aims to dispel a number of misconceptions prevalent among White Nationalists, especially in North America who view the church negatively. One called it: ‘Judaism lite’ & ‘Judaism for Gentiles’. In a way this is true but…and it is these ‘buts’ we shall consider. The church began as an attempt to reform Orthodox Judaism, which was resisted, suppressed & then expelled from Jewish society. As an independent entity within Gentile society the Church long harboured hopes of reconciliation with the synagogue but overtime Jewish enmity hardened the church’s attitude.
This persisted for 19 centuries then in 1943 everything changed when a subversive ‘takeover’ began of all church bodies, minister training colleges & churches by Enemy agents. The assertion that the Church is ‘Judaism lite’ thereafter came true. Does that mean we abandon the church to Enemy control? No more than we allow Enemy agents control of our towns & cities. A Church with one billion captive souls & billions of dollars in assets is either FOR us they will be used AGAINST us.
THESE ARTICLES: It is hoped these articles will provide points of contact to those lost white souls now trapped in fallen churches. How? Christians, especially Biblical fundamentalists, revere their Scriptures. If you can prove a political point using a Bible quote with them you’ve won half the argument. From there you can proceed with logic once you’ve opened the door to WN views. Extensive quotes have been provided below to help counter the popular belief amongst churches that the Chosen are ‘fellow believers’ & ‘allies’ in a War on Terror.
WHICH WAR? It is true the Christian West is in a ‘war’ not only with Islam but with atheistic humanism, a creation of the Chosen. There alleged ‘war’ against the West by Islam is really against the Chosen. We’re simply a shield they hide behind. They use us to escape the consequences of their evil acts. A good comparison for the current WoT is WWII. Two West democracies, France & Britain, declared war on Germany. Later the US & Britain allied with their former foe, the Marxist Russia. After these ‘allies’ defeated fascists of Europe & Asia they returned to their previous war - with each other.
ETERNAL WARFARE: Since 2001 we have been in open warfare with the Islamist heresy. This is simply a continuation of the war begun by them in 622AD. In seeking allies against Islam we would be mistaken to believe: ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’. Just as in WWII, this is false. The enemy of my enemy can ALSO be my enemy, such as the Chosen. Our hope is these articles will awaken the Church to this. How? This first in the series examines how the Jews own Scriptures describe them. The second in the series, ‘Is God An Anti-Semite? New Testament Evidence’, will look at what Jesus & others in the Christian Bible had to say about them.
GOOD, BAD & UGLY? The American Christian position since 1948 has been subsumed to that of the US’s malignant step-child, Israel. The obvious evil of this alliance has driven many away from America’s churches, seen by millions as the tool of Others. A first step to redeeming the Church is for its members to see the Chosen as God does. Ignore the modern, Western media portrayal of them. This paper will show how GOD initially chose Israel but over time became impatient with their non-cooperation. After a millennium of threats & punishments GOD moved on to another group, choosing them to reach the wider world. We’ve substantiated our argument with numerous Bible texts.
WHY CHOOSE ONE NATION OVER OTHERS? Direct communication with GOD was severed by the Fall free grace of Adam, GOD’s first human contact. GOD wished to restore contact with Man but under this time only strict criteria, where in return for respect & obedience Yah would award blessings. For this reason He initiated a treaty with an Iraqi, Abram, using the then popular ‘High King/Vassal King’. This reconnection with Man was a success. Abram’s family was showered with blessings if & when they obeyed GOD. They were to be role-models for all mankind: obey Yah & you too will benefit. However, a HK/VK treaty includes just as many curses as blessings, these being invoked by non-compliance. Abram’s descendants routinely forgot this – to their cost. Abram’s family later adopted the name of their most prominent member, Jacob/Israel. From his family grew a nation, Israel.
BLESSINGS WITHOUT OBEDIENCE? Israel wanted the blessings of GOD’s treaty but refused to obey. Further, they misinterpreted the relationship between GOD & themselves as ‘exclusive’ i.e. they imagined GOD to be their tribal possession. Israel tried to keep Yah away from others. They would not share Him. This defeated GOD’s plan for a wider salvation to extend through Israel to the world. Within Israel, the Chosen even came to see GOD as reliant on them. When Israel did choose to obey GOD it was not from devotion but out of self-interest. Eventually GOD tired of this wayward nation. He un-Chose them. But what vehicle now to use for world restoration? After 1,000 years of trial & error GOD’s His new model of relationship with Man would be the Church. Is there a conspiracy? No, it’s public policy to ‘sell’ the simple-minded US public well-worn stereotypes & clichés. Most Americans find it difficult to break free or seek new information, especially if they know friends will be hostile. We hope this paper helps them.
FROM CHURCH TO CHOSEN, AGAIN: Till in 1942, when a NYC advertising executive coined the phrase ‘Judo-Christian’, the two groups had been polar opposites. With one word he had created a third group – neither Jew nor Christian but claiming to bridge the historical divide between them. What had changed? US was needed to defeat Germany. Linking Jews with Christians would ally America’s influential churches with the Chosen War effort & their plans for a post-War world. They succeeded but thereafter deformed the Church beyond recognition. After 19 centuries of opposing Chosen power from 1945onwards empathy towards Israel by most ministers & the Western media caused a drift from their basic tenets & into the Judo-Christian camp. They became enmeshed in a lie: that Yah still blessed the Chosen post-Resurrection & they remained His sole vehicle for salvation. This confused many Christians. They began to idolise Israel & accept erroneous doctrines, like female clergy. Bewildered, true believers quit the faith. After 1948 Western churches slowly started to empty. By 2012 one would find it difficult to locate a non-J.C. mainline church in the West.
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE: Believers in the Judo/Christian dual salvation heresy, where both groups have preeminence, should ask themselves:
1. if GOD’s plan for world salvation is still through the Chosen then His son die for nothing.
2. If the Chosen are saved the past 2,000 years of Church history have been unnecessary.
3. Do the Chosen deserve our respect when they attack & kill Palestinian Christians? Christian support for anti-Christs, especially those who kill Christians, is clearly un-Biblical
4. If the Chosen, not the Church, are GOD’s Body (visible manifestation in the world) we must judge them by the standards laid down in their Old Testament. The media regularly leap on every defect, personal or professional, of Churchmen they never mention the failings of the Chosen e.g. their role in the theft of Wall Street’s billions 1987, 1997, 2001, 2003 &2007-2009.
EVANGELISM or EXCLUSIVITY? A major hurdle to the Chosen, which the Church overcame, is as GOD’s Elect they can’t make recruits. You’re either born Chosen or you’re not. Judo-Christian sycophants can’t answer this: if the seven million Chosen are ‘saved’ then what of their one billion Christian stooges? Their god has deluded them. Pro-Chosen Churchmen refuse to answer: why be Christian if only the Chosen are ‘saved’? A close examination of this contradiction would empty Churches overnight – as it has since 1967 when the US openly backed Israel. So the question is never put. Pro-Zionist Christians maintain a cognitive dissonance in holding opposing ideas at once. The mass of pew-warmers don’t notice. If the Chosen are saved, the Church is not.
PROOF-TEXTS: We must judge the Chosen according to GOD’s criteria. The following quotes from the Jews own Bible should help you. We’ve grouped our proof-texts into four categories:
1.GOD’S PROMISES FOR ISRAEL IF THEY OBEY;
2. TREATY PUNISHMENTS ON ISRAEL IF THEY DISOBEY;
3. GOD’S PLANNED BLESSINGS TO ‘THE NATIONS’ THROUGH THE CHURCH
4. WHY GOD REPLACED ISRAEL WITH A CHURCH of ‘ALL WHO HONOUR ME’.
[Our proof-texts from KJV, a direct translation, & GNB, a dynamic equivalent. Emphasis is ours].
1.GOD’S PROMISES FOR ISRAEL IF THEY OBEYED
Genesis 47.13-24 & 27: “There was famine in Egypt. 13 The people bought corn from Joseph [Jewish Prime Minister of Egypt]. 14 When all the money was spent the people came to Joseph & said: ‘give us corn!’ 15 Joseph answered: ‘bring me all your livestock’. 16 So they did. 17. That year he supplied them with food. Next year people came to Joseph & said: ‘give us corn! We have nothing left but our bodies & our land. 18 Buy us & our land. We’ll be the king’s slaves & he will own our land’. 19 So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt. 20 All the land became the king’s. Joseph made slaves of all the Egyptians. 21 Joseph said to the people: ‘here is seed. Sow the land. At harvest give 20% to the king’. 24 The Israelites in Egypt grew rich”. 27(Exodus 12.35-36): “Yah said to Moses: ‘I will make the Egyptians respect you so that when you leave there you will not go empty-handed. 21 Every Israelite woman will go into her Egyptian neighbours house & take whatever clothes or gold & silver jewellery she wants. In this way Israel will carry away the wealth of Egypt”. 22. (Exodus 3.21-22). “The Israelites did as Moses commanded them & had demanded the Egyptians hand over their best clothes, their gold & silver jewellery. 35 Yah made the Egyptians fear the Israelites so they gave them whatever they asked for.

I’ll give you father of another nation, larger & more powerful than these’. 14 Yah was furious enough to destroy you but I talked Him out of it. 19 You made Yah angry…22 when you rebelled.

Destroy their sacred sites & any relics of their gods. 5 Yah did not rescue you from Egypt because you were great – you were the smallest nation of earth. 7 He simply wanted to display His power through you”. 8 [i.e. YAH wanted to reach all nations but one-nation-at-a-time. 1,000 years of failure by Israel forced Him to use His Son to found a Church, bypassing Israel to broaden His appeal. Israel’s resentment at this usurpation lead to a 2,000 year-long war against the Church].
Psalm 2.1-12: “The nations plan rebellion 1 & their kings plot revolt against their Chosen king. 2 They say: ‘let us throw off their control’. 3 Yah laughs at the plans. 4 He terrifies them 5 saying: ‘My King rules from Zion’. 6 This king declares: 7 ‘GOD has given the whole earth to me. 8 I will rule them with a rod of iron & shatter the nations like clay pots’. 9 Now listen kings of the earth: 10 all must serve 11 & bow down or your death will come suddenly’. 12

He was distressed & Yah was angry with them. 10 Moses told Yah: ‘They keep whining!’ 13 Moses told Israel: ‘purify yourselves – Yah has heard your whining 18.

Yah replied: ‘they’ve tried My patience over & over and still refuse to obey Me’ 22. He said to Moses: ‘how long will these wicked complain about Me? I’ve had enough of them!’ 27 I’ll do for them as they asked: 28 none will enter the Promised Land 29. You’ll wander in the Wilderness till every last one of you is dead 33.

I see it. 11 I speak to you regularly but you refuse to listen. 13 I destroyed Shiloh – I’ll destroy your Temple, too. 14 Then I’ll drive you out of My sight’. 15 Yah said: ‘don’t pray for this people or cry or plead. I won’t listen. 16 Don’t you see what they’re doing? 17 I’ll pour My fierce anger out on their Temple, their animals & their crops. 20 I sent my prophets to them but none of them listened. 25-26 Just like you, Jeremiah.

They’re like Sodom. 14 I’ll give them poison to drink. That’ll teach them to spread godlessness throughout the land. 15 Ignore them & their lies. Nothing they say is from Me! 16 They tell sinners ‘all is well’ & ‘no disaster will befall you’. 17 None of these priests know Yah’s thoughts. None of them understand Him. 18 Yah’s anger is a wind, a storm that rages against these wicked. 19 Yah said: ‘I didn’t send these priests. 21 I AM a God who’s everywhere, not just in one place only.

They will fall. 12 These false prophets mislead My people. 13 The prophets’ lies strengthen the hand of evil so none turn from wickedness. 14 Flowing from these prophets, profanity fills the land. 15 Ignore them. They speak for themselves only, not Me. 16 They say to all who despise Me ‘peace’ & to the wayward ‘no evil shall befall you’. 17 A tornado from Yah & will strike these false prophets. 19 God will execute them. You must understand this. 20 I did not send them. If I did they’d be turning people from sin. 22 Instead, they get people to forget My Name. 27 My Word is a fire & a rock that smashes rock. 29 I oppose any who steal My words 30 as they cause mislead My people with lies. 32 They pervert the Word of God. 36 For this I bring on Jerusalem a perpetual shame’”. 40

Lamentations 3.39, 42-47 & 52: “Why complain when punished for your sins? 39 We sinned & God does not forgive Judah. 42 He pursued & killed us. His mercy was hidden by His anger. 43 Clouds of His fury were too thick for our prayers to penetrate. 44 Yah made us the rubbish tip of the world. 45 We’re insulted & mocked by all our enemies. 46 We suffer disaster & ruin; we live in danger & fear 47. We are trapped like birds by enemies hate us without reason”. 52

The formerly rich now paw through garbage looking for scraps. 5 Our rich rulers, once pure as snow. 7 now lie dead in the street, unknown, their faces black & skin shriveled. 8 They starved to death slowly. 9 Mothers boiled their own children for food. 10 Yah turned His full fury on Zion. He lit a fire that burned it to the ground. 11 This happened because our priests caused the death of innocents. 13 Our rulers are so stained with blood no one wants to touch them. 14 They wander from nation to nation. No one welcomes our arrival. 15 Yah no longer cares for us. It was Yah who scattered us. 16 We looked for help that never came. No nation would aid us”. 17
Lam 5.2-12, 16-18: “Strangers now control our property. Foreigners live in the homes we built. Our fathers were killed by aliens. 2 We’re forced to pay for the water we drink & the fuel we use. 4 We’re driven hard like donkeys but allowed no rest. 5 We’re ruled by slaves but no one can save us from their power. 8 Murderers roam the countryside. 9 Our wives are raped in every town, our daughters are forced to submit. 11 Our leaders are hanged. 12 Nothing is left of everything we were once so proud of. We’re doomed. 16 Wild jackals prowl our ruins”. 18
Ezekiel 2.3-7: “Yah said: ‘I send you to Israel, a rebellious nation. They sin against Me, 3 they’re stubborn & don’t respect Me. 4 Whether they listen to you or not they’ll have to admit Yah has sent a prophet to them. 5 They’ll defy & despise you. It’ll be like living with scorpions”. 7

I’ll scatter the survivors in every direction. 10 You defiled My Temple so I’ll cut you down without mercy. 11 two-thirds of you will die by sword or famine. 12 Neighbouring nations will mock you”. 14
Ezekiel 6.3-13: ”Yah said: ‘tell Israel I’m sending a sword to destroy 3 all their cities . Everything they’ve made will disappear. 6 People will be killed everywhere.

These will be exiled. 8 They’ll remember I punished them because of their lack of faith. 9 Cry out because of Israel’s disgustingly evil behaviours. For these they’ll die by war, famine & disease 11 with the full force of My anger. 12 Only when I destroy their whole country will they acknowledge Me as GOD’ ”. 14
Ezekiel 7.8-11 & 18-26: “Yah says: ‘I’ll pour a torrent of My anger on [Israel] to repay them for their sinful behavior 8 neither sparing nor showing mercy. I’ll punish their deeds so they know I AM God, the Punisher’. 9 Israel’s violence bring disaster on them. It overflows. Their pride puffs them up. 10 Soon none of their wealth will remain. 11 They’ll toss their gold & silver in the street as neither will save them from Yah’s fury. It was lust after gold & silver that lead them to sin. 19 Yah will make their wealth repulsive to them. 20 Yah says: ‘I’ll allow foreigners to rob them. 21 I’ll let foreigners loot My Temple. 22 Israel is full of murderers. 23 I’ll bring the most evil nations here & give them your homes. These will profane all your holy places. 24 You’ll seek peace but never find it. 25 One disaster will follow another. You’ll beg your priests for advice but they’ll have none to give’ ”. 26
Ezekiel 8.2-18: “I saw a vision of a fiery human who shone like polished bronze. 2 He grabbed my hair, dragged me to Jerusalem & took me to the Temple. There an idol outraged God. 3 Yah said: ‘look at what disgusting things Israel does! They drive Me from My own Temple’. 6 The angel showed me other disgustingly evil things Israel did there. 7-9 They worshipped idols 10-12 celebrated a pagan goddess 13 & worshipped the sun. 15-16 Yah said: ‘they deliberately offend Me! 17 For this they’ll feel the full force of My anger. I’ll show no mercy. They can pray to Me – I won’t listen’ ” 18.
Ezekiel 9.1-10: “I heard Yah shout: ‘come here, those chosen to punish [Jerusalem]. Bring your weapons’. 1 Six men appeared in the Temple. With them came a seventh holding a writing pad & pen.

Kill! Spare none. Show no mercy 5 for the young or old, men, women or children. Spare only those marked’. They began killing the leaders of the people, right there in the Temple. 6 I said: ‘Yah, are you so angry? Will You kill all of Israel?’ 8 He said: ‘Israel is guilty. They committed murders all over this land. They filled My city with crime. They say I don’t see them, but I do. I won’t pity them. I’ll do to them exactly what they did to others’ “10.
Ezekiel 12.9-19: “Yah said: ‘tell these rebellious Israelites…9 they’ll all be made refugees. 11 I’ll let a few survive the war, disease & famine. When they’re amongst foreigners they’ll realise just how disgusting they’ve been. 16 Tell them: ‘you’ll tremble when you eat & shake with fear when you drink’ as everyone in Israel was so lawless their land had to be stripped bare, 19 their cities destroyed & the whole land made a wilderness’”. 20
Ezekiel 15.1-7: “Yah said: ‘what use are these vines & branches [symbols of Israel] compared to trees of the forest? 1-2 They’re useless except to be burned in the fire. 4 [They’re] more useless after being burnt than before. 5 People of Jerusalem,,,6 fire will burn you up!’ ”.7

Bring wood! Fan the flames! Boil them, burn them 10 till they’re purified. 11 The scum must be consumed by fire. 12 Jerusalem, I tried to purify you but you’re still defiled. To be pure I must pour out all My anger on you. 13 The time has come to act. I’ll show neither pity nor mercy. 14 I’ll take away their Temple, their pride & joy that they so love to visit. Then I’ll take away their sons & daughters, too’ ”. 25
Ezekiel 34.1-4, 8b-10: “Yah said: ‘preach to the rulers of Israel. Tell them: you’re doomed! You’re selfish. 1-2 You rob & steal. 3 You never care for the weak or heal the hurting or bring back wanderers. Instead you’re cruel to all. 4 You utterly selfish, 8b listen: 9 I’m your Enemy’ ”. 10

Hosea 6.4-10: “Yah said: ‘Israel, what am I to do with you? Your love for Me has evaporated. 4 That’s why I send My prophets with messages of destruction. 5 As soon as I got [Israel] into Canaan they breached their treaty with Me. 7 Gilead’s a city of murderers. 8 Their priests are a gang of robbers, ambushing on the open road.

Their sins surround them; I can’t avoid seeing them. 2 All are treacherous. They get angry, ridicule their rulers, then kill them. Their kings assassinate one another but still no one prays to Me. 7 Israel’s own arrogance rebukes them. 10 They’re doomed! For their rebellion against Me they will be destroyed. They worship Me falsely. 13 They’re pagans. 14 I made them strong 15 but they rejected Me’ ”. 16

You say: ‘this guy’s insane – what a fool!’ Your sins are numerous so you hate what I say. 7 Yah sent me to warn Israel but they carry on as if they’re God’s enemies. Even in His Temple 8 Israel is hopelessly evil. 9 Yah says: ‘Israel obeys other gods. That disgusts Me. 10 Israel’s greatness flew away. I’ll abandon this people. Terrible things will befall them. 12 I hate them: I’ll drive them out of My land’. 15 These people reject Me so He will make them wanderers amongst all nations”. 17

I’ll tear you to pieces. 8 I’ll destroy you, Israel! 9 Your guilt is on record. 12 Israel had a chance to live but was foolish. 13 I can’t rescue this people from Death. Bring plagues, oh Death, bring destruction! I’ll no longer pity these people. 14 They’ll try to prosper but I’ll send the East Wind against them.

Amos 8.2-7 & 10-12: “Yah said: ‘The end is near for Israel. I’ll punish them 2 & turn their songs of joy into cries of mourning. Dead bodies will lie everywhere.

Then we’ll overcharge & cheat our customers, 5 we love selling worthless goods at exorbitant prices. In this way we enslave the poor with debt‘. 6 Yah says: ‘I’ll never forget you evil deeds. 7 Your festivals I’ll turn into funerals. 10 I send you a famine, not of bread but of hearing My Words. 11 You’ll search the country for a Word from Me but you won’t find it‘ ”. 12

I’m determined to destroy them. 4 Israel, I think as much about you as I do the Sudanese. I’m the One brought Philistines from Crete, Syrians from Kir & you from Egypt. 7 I watched you grow ever more sinful. I’ll wipe you from off the face of the earth 8. I’ll sieve you like corn. I’ll shake you amongst the nations, so removing the worthless. 9 Your sinners will die especially all who say: ‘GOD won’t let any harm befall us’ ” 10.

Because you mislead My people you’ll get no more visions & all your predictions will be wrong’. 6 True courage is telling Israel what their sins are. 8 You rulers of Israel hate justice. You built Jerusalem on a foundation of murder & injustice. 10 You govern for bribes; the priests twist the Law for pay & the prophets claim: ‘no harm can come to us – GOD is with us’. 11 For this I will plough Zion like a field.

Your teachings [Talmud] have lead many into error. You’ve broken the covenant between us. 8 You don’t obey Me alone.’ ” 9
Malachi 3.9: “All Israel is cursed because they cheat Yah out of His tithe [a 1/10 Temple tax]”.

You gave [Israel] power over their men & kings. 24 But Your people rebelled. They disobeyed You & turned their backs on Your Law. They killed all the prophets You sent to urge them to repent. Indeed, they insulted You time after time. 26 For this reason You let their enemies conquer & rule them. 27 When You brought peace to them, they again turned to sin. You let their enemies conquer them, again. 28 You again warned them to obey but didn’t. They rejected Your Law. 29 Year after year You warned them & sent prophets to them but Your people have become deaf. So once again You let other nations conquer them’ ”. 30

But they, too, rejected Me. 5 For this I’ll send ‘wild beasts’ to kill them. They’ll be too afraid to leave their homes. 6 Why should I forgive them? They abandoned Me! ‘7 8 I’ll avenge Myself on this nation. 9 I’ll send enemies who’ll destroy all they’ve built. Why not? They didn’t build it for Me. 10 Israel & Judah, you’ve completely betray Me. 11 [Israel] asks ‘why has Yah done this?’ Tell them: because you refuse to serve Me in this land, I’ll send you into exile in other’s lands. There you’ll be forced to serve foreigners. 19 Say: ‘you foolish people of Judah! 21 who neither see nor hear. I AM GOD: why don’t you fear Me? Why don’t you tremble before Me? 22 You foolish rebels. You abandoned Me. 23 You never honour Me. 24 By rejecting Me you deny yourself numerous blessings. 25 The evil among you prey on others 26 as a way to become rich & powerful. 27 There’s no limit to their greed. They put justice out of reach for the poor. 28 For all this I’ll punish [Israel]. 29 Your priests & ministers preach nothing but lies. Their congregations don’t object.

Judah plot against Me, 9 refusing My will. Israel breeches our treaty. 10 I’ll destroy them. When they cry out, I won’t listen. 11 Judah & Jerusalem served other gods so let these save them. 12 Don’t pray for them or plead with Me. When they’re in trouble & call Me I’ll refuse to hear. 14 They do evil, even in My Temple. They rejoice in evil. 15 I once called them leafy green but now I’ll set them on fire. 16 I planted Israel now I judge them. They brought it on themselves. Their evil provoked Me”. 17

A CHANCE MEETING: A chance meeting in 1993 lead to the writing of this paper. At a Christian dance conference we met a young trainee Palestinian Anglican priest. A Palestinian Christian? We learned that Christians comprise 20% of the Palestinian population. But aren’t all Palestinians Muslim fanatics? No. Hannah Ashwari, a Christian, was one of the PLO’s top negotiators at Camp David in 1993, where a separate State was founded. Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein trusted only one man, his Christian Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz. We were told 10% of Iraqi people are Christians as were Saddam’s Armed Forces. In Egypt 10% of the population are also Christian. This boggled our minds. Did US troops know during both Gulf Wars they were killing not the hated Muslim foe but, 10% of the time, fellow Christians? The narrow US media dichotomy held, falsely, that only two sides existed in this Arab conflict. That there was a third side was seen as too complex for the US audience. GOOD GUY VS BAD GUYS: In the US ‘media values’ utilize a simplistic device called ‘binary opposition’ of ‘black hat’/’white hat’, good guys versus bad guys. Under this system if Chosen equals ‘good’ then Arab equals Muslim & must be ‘bad’. Thanks to the US media dominance of world information flow, their portrayal of Israelis/Jews as pro-Christian makes it ‘OK’ for them to bomb Palestinian civilian areas, as they do routinely. We’re not told if 20% of the resultant casualties are Christian. The same US media systematically deny key information to the public, keeping them dumbed-down. In this way they won’t notice the growing antipathy in the outside world towards the US’s isolationist existence. Christians who do notice are conflicted. Church officials assure us that ‘Israel is the good guy’ but...if Arabs are automatically ‘bad’ what of Arab Christians? US Christians are immoral if they support a State that is kills Christians. Many in the Church are silent on this issue.
LOADED QUESTIONS: We were approached while preparing this paper by a secular White Nationalist who asked: ‘the US civil liberties union (ACLU) is controlled by the Chosen. Why do they aggressively seek removal of their own Ten Commandments & the entire Bible from public life - schools, courts or hospitals? If they are THE Chosen why don’ they advance the causes of their GOD, YHWH?’
FROM CHOSEN TO CHURCH – BIBLE PROOFS: To reiterate: how GOD began with Israel but rejected them. He began the Church as ‘a New Israel’. This new vehicle, the Church, at first miffed then angered Israel. They refused to believe they’d been bypassed. They directed their anger at this new rival for Yah’s affection. They murdered the Church’s Founder & His closest associates. Then the Chosen began a generalised attack on the entire Body of Christ which has continued for 2,000 years.
Israel should have ‘seen it coming’. Evidence of GOD’s anger at & rejection of Israel littered their Old Testament. We will examine the nature of the relationship between Yah & His social laboratory, Israel. Such a vicious race required an equally savage god, not the modernist god, a marsh-
mellow fantasy favoured by secularist-humanists. Thus may seem radical today but for 1900 years the Christian Church worshipped this GOD.
ISRAEL, THE UNDESERVING: In 1942 Israel deserved pity but not help. They were God’s test-bed for reconnecting Him with Man, but repeatedly failed Yah for 1,000 years then failed Him for 2,000 years by rejecting His own Son, Messiah Jesus. Due to their repeated failures before 400 AD after that time Yah no longer forgave them. He’d a new plan, a New Israel: Jesus’ Church. Since 400AD no prophet has appeared to Israel. So after 2,400 years of waiting the Chosen re-cast themselves as gods, self-deification. A scholar of theirs boasted: ‘our collective will is the revealed mind of god’. Such blasphemy explains their behavior & perpetual faith in their impunity when caught out in lies & fraud.
