THE ROOT OF ANTI-SEMITISM (Pt.1) Anti-Semitism is not just a racial hatred against Jews. It is a spiritual hatred.

ISRAEL’S STRUGGLE IS SPIRITUAL “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this present world (system), against spiritual wickedness in high places.” - Eph. 6:12

The nations rage against little Israel The nations rage against little Israel. And hatred towards Jews continues. What is the root cause of anti-Semitism?

The races of the world have a grudge against the Jewish people. Why The races of the world have a grudge against the Jewish people. Why? What is behind all this hatred?

Neo-Nazis in Poland. Do anti-Semites know the spirits driving them into this twisted devotion?

The Ku Klux Klan in America The Ku Klux Klan in America. Do anti-Semites know the evil spirits who are pulling their strings?

Hezbollah gives the Nazi salute. Or is it the Roman salute Hezbollah gives the Nazi salute. Or is it the Roman salute? This is one of many armies rising up to rage against Israel.

The rise of anti-Semitism in recent years is clearly seen on this graph.

Neo Nazi skinheads in Germany are on the rise Neo Nazi skinheads in Germany are on the rise. An existential emptiness of the soul is now filled with anger and hatred against Jews. Why?

Psalm 2 1 Why do the nations assemble with commotion [uproar and confusion of voices], and why do the people imagine (meditate upon and devise) an empty scheme? 2 The kings of the earth take their places; the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and His Anointed One (the Messiah, the Christ). They say, 3 Let us break Their bands [of restraint] asunder and cast Their cords [of control] from us. (Ampl. Bible)

Psalm 2 4 He Who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision [and in supreme contempt He mocks them]. 5 He speaks to them in His deep anger and troubles (terrifies and confounds) them in His displeasure and fury, saying, 6 Yet have I anointed (installed and placed) My King [firmly] on My holy hill of Zion. (Ampl. Bible)

Psalm 2 7 I will declare the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, You are My Son; this day [I declare] I have begotten You. 8 Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like potters' ware. (Ampl. Bible)

Psalm 2 10 Now therefore, O you kings, act wisely; be instructed and warned, O you rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with reverent awe and worshipful fear; rejoice and be in high spirits with trembling [lest you displease Him]. 12 Kiss the Son [pay homage to Him in purity], lest He be angry and you perish in the way, for soon shall His wrath be kindled. O blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are all those who seek refuge and put their trust in Him! (Ampl. Bible)

The spiritual venom of Anti-Semitism is not just coming from deceived and depraved men. Dark angels pull the strings of the children of disobedience.

THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS FEAR AND LOATHE THE COMING OF MESSIAH The hatred of deceived anti-Semites is agitated from a higher level by the principalities and powers, the dark angelic rulers who control the current world system. They hate Messiah and fear and loathe His coming.

Angelic rulers operate out of the lower heaven or second heaven

THE PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS KNOW THEIR TIME IS SHORT The dark angelic rulers rage against the Jewish people and Eretz Israel because they know that Israel’s restoration and redemption means their doom.

The dark angelic rulers are destined to be cast down along with Lucifer when the Jewish Meshiach returns at the climax of the age. They know this. And that is why they foment this anti-Israel sentiment and stir up this raging in the nations.

12 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning 12 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; (Isa.14)

I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.' 15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit. (Isa. 14)

The principalities and powers of this world loathe and dread the coming of the Jewish Messiah.

In Part 2 we shall look closer and discover the root of anti-Semitism. End of Part 1. In Part 2 we shall look closer and discover the root of anti-Semitism. As we shall see it relates to the Throne of David

The Root of Anti-Semitism - Pt. 2 Here we shall discover that the target of the anti-Semitic hatred is the Throne of David.

ANTI-SEMITISM IS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST MESSIAH ANTI-SEMITISM IS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST MESSIAH. IT IS THE HATRED OF THE THRONE OF DAVID WITHIN THE JEWISH HOUSE OF JUDAH

The hatred and venom directed towards the Throne of David If hostility and wrath against the Throne of David is the root cause of Anti-Semitism then where did we first see it demonstrated as such in the Holy Scriptures?

Shimei stones David in early instance of this raging against the Throne of David

Rebels rage against the Jewish House of Judah in the nation of Israel Rebels rage against the Jewish House of Judah in the nation of Israel. And the presence of Jewish people sets off a raging response in the evil angels who pull the strings of depraved men. Anti-Semitism is a wicked rebellious raging against the throne of David and against the promise of the coming Messiah.

The ten northern tribes rebel, rebuking and rejecting of the House of David

The ten northern tribes rebel from Judah in the south and renounce their allegiance to the Throne of David 1Kings 12:16 Now when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying: "What share have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Now, see to your own house, O David!" So Israel departed to their tents.

Could lost Israel have cursed themselves into partial blindness with these words? "What share have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Now, see to your own house, O David!”

If the Lost Ten Tribes are out there today then they are as lost Gomer, in partial blindness, lost, and in a state of amnesia. Painting by John Grimshaw

separated from her true Betrothed, But wayward Gomer, separated from her true Betrothed, seeks another covering and the sword of the princes of the heathen.

UNCONSECRATED CHRISTIANS JEALOUS OF THE HOUSE OF JUDAH IN ISRAEL AND THE EDOMITES WHO LIVE IN THE RICH PARTS OF THE WEST COMMIT ATROCITIES AGAINST OUR JEWISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS. It appears that whenever we come to significant turning points in history the dominant people in Christendom at the time become frustrated and restless. They feel deprived and robbed. Christendom is jealous of what the Jews have. They look at the Jewish connection to Israel and the promises given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And they want it for themselves. And they have come to believe that they can’t get it. This too is a lie. Why do people hate each other? People hate other people because they believe the other people have something they themselves do not have and cannot ever have. But they want it desperately. And they have come to believe that they can never have it. This is the situation in Western Christendom. Deep down in the European soul there are memories of an ancient feud. There are hidden memories of a broken covenant and a lost connection. With this comes a longing to know what has happened. And there is a desire to enter into those glories yet unseen. That is why westerners in times past sold all their goods and went crusading. Their armies homed in on the holy City, Jerusalem. Like salmon returning to the place they were spawned, they were going back home. They were returning to the Middle East. For evangelicals this longing has been wonderfully fulfilled. They already have a connection to Israel. It comes through the indwelling Christ. He is that promised Seed of Abraham. Many others under state religion and those in nominal Christianity are not as blessed. But the desire is still there. Along with it comes the emptiness and angst within the soul. Here are the facts well researched by Yair Davidiy (Britam.org). Many Westerners come from a people who were taken captive by the Assyrians around 722 B.C.. Caucasians were once a people milling about back at the Caucasus Mountains. But these people cannot remember what happened way back then. They have amnesia. They are unaware of their Hebrew roots as European people. And they have not yet come to know their Hebrew connection through their Jewish Messiah who is part and parcel of their Christian faith. Our Apostle Paul tells in Romans chapter 11 that Christians, as a wild olive branch, have been grafted back into Israel. Their angst would cease if they would just invite Him into their hearts and lives. But for those who remain unsaved the longing is still there. Westerners are still drawn to Israel. The Caucasians do not realize where their people migrated from. Nor do they know the places of their Assyrian captivity and the identity of their original homeland in the northern Kingdom of Israel. They do not know that their forgotten heritage is in the the lost ten tribes of Israel. (See Britam.org) But the desire cannot be denied. It is still there. And it is at the thresholds, the turning points of economics and history, that unfulfilled longing and jealousy breaks out. There is no proper spiritual guidance and no redemptive Biblical counsel and so these nominal Christians, who do not know Messiah, proceed to act out in the flesh. They enter into the crusader’s folly and failing to find peace with the indwelling Messiah they use His name to attempt to take dominion of holy things by the sword. The restless Edomites among them join them in the uprising, And so all this pent up anger erupts as a violent anti-Semitism. This is not happening in China or India or Africa. What is so sad to report is that this anti-Semitism keeps popping up, - right inside Western Christendom!

The early 20th Century saw the Pogroms of Communist Russia persecute the royal Jewish House of Judah. And then World War two saw another series of Anti-Semitic outrages. In this photo Lithuanian militia order Jewish civilians to strip off their clothes before a mass killing.

German police at a mass execution early on in the war.

Jewish women in the Ukraine stand in line before being led off to be shot. These genocidal outrages were committed under the auspices of some leading nations in western Christendom. Now let us ask the big question. Were these crimes against the royal Jewish House of Israel prompted by Jesus Christ? In other words, were these acts committed by true Christians? Or were they committed by Edomites in our midst?

ANTISEMITISM IS PART OF A WIDELY DISEMMINATED SPIRITUAL MALAISE IN THE WEST AND INDICATES JUST HOW DESPERATE OUR NEED IS TO INVITE THE MESSIAH INTO OUR HEARTS AND RECEIVE HIS SALVATION. It appears that whenever we come to significant turning points in history the dominant people in Christendom at the time become frustrated and restless. They feel deprived and robbed.
