Listening to all the constant hostile protestors with their extreme hatred of Israel and the Jews, I wonder why they don’t understand where their confidence and foundation for this hatred come from.
They do not know God, nor His Word and promises. I read what God says; what He has said from the beginning about Satan’s extreme hatred and warring against Israel and the Jews ever since God called Abram to His purpose. Since the beginning of God choosing Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the 12 tribes of Jacob, God’s choosing them to show Himself faithful and true – has produced enemies jealous and envious of God’s favor on the Israel nation. The city of Jerusalem He calls His “footstool” when His promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is fulfilled. The earth is their inheritance and God won’t allow the Jews nor the nation to be overtaken and no longer remembered.
“The Lord said to Abraham, ‘I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed THROUGH YOU.’” Genesis 12:2-3
Abraham’s first son, Ishmael – through Hagar, Sarah’s Egyptian maidservant, was not Abraham’s son of God’s promise to him; Isaac was through Sarah and Abraham. Isaac was their miracle child, as Sarah was over the age of child-bearing, unable to bear anymore, so she thought.
Ever since Abraham ‘failed to wait’ on God to fulfill His promise with God opening Sarah’s womb for the son of His promise to Abraham – all the lineage of Ishmael have been enemies of Israel (the land of God’s promise) and its people the Jews. This ancient ongoing hatred (governed by Satan himself) will not end until the coming return of Jesus Christ. God’s number one enemy (the devil), who was booted out of heaven for trying to take God’s Son’s position and authority – has been the root of all of Ishmael’s lineage throughout history full-on HATRED of God’s favor on the Jews and Christians as well.
Certainly these Jew/Israel haters don’t know the One True Living God. They believe they are right and justified in their hatred and warring. They say, “’Come, let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.’ With one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against God’s people, those He cherishes.” Psalm 83:4-5
God gives a message to true and faithful Jews: “I know your afflictions and your poverty – yet you are rich! I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are NOT but are of the synagogue of Satan. Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I till you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution…Be faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you LIFE as your victor’s crown.” Revelation 2:8-10
Not only does the devil hate Jews, but also Christians because we love the Jewish race. Jesus Christ our Savior was a Jew from the line of Jacob’s son Judah. Jesus is called “the Lion of Judah.” Jesus WILL and must return to end this hatred and warring against all His people. The return of Jesus Christ with His servants is a promise from God. Of His Son He says:
“…He is Faithful and True. With justice He judges and wages war (the last war – Hallelujah!). His eyes are like blazing fire, and on His head are many crowns. He has a Name written on Him that no one knows but He himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood (the blood that brought us salvation), and His name is the WORD OF GOD. (John 1:1-5) The armies of heaven follow Him…and coming out of His mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations (governments of unbelievers). He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On His robe and on His thigh He has this name written: KING of Kings and LORD of Lords.” Revelation 19:11-16
When it’s all done in Christ’s thousand-year reign on earth, “He who is seated on the throne says, ‘I am making everything NEW!’ Write down these words for these words are trustworthy and TRUE….I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give living water without cost from the spring of the water of LIFE. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. BUT the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars – they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” Revelation 21:5-8
All that God once called “good” (Genesis 1) will be restored and made new, just as Jesus said in His prayer: “As it is in heaven it will be on earth.” GLORY to GOD! This is what keeps me from absolutely ‘losing it’ with all the rapidly increasing evil and constant protests and warring against God’s people.
