Zionism, Mossad, the True Remnant, and Antisemitism


Wow, how's that for a topic? I was looking at several 9/11 truth videos, and a few pointed to the Mossad and Israel as being the real culprits behind the attacks, and that when it is revealed, the U.S. will be so angry that she will destroy Israel, wiping Israel completely off the earth was one way one of the speakers put it. It may be so that there were Zionist factions behind what happened on September 11th 2001, there are some suspicious occurrences which make it seem possible, even probable, that Israel had something to do with it. And what if that were so? What if the truth comes out, and the truth points directly and unavoidably at Israel being at the very core of all that mess to get us to bomb all her enemies to kingdom come? Is it a Christian response to bomb Israel off the face of the earth?

I personally do believe there were Zionists (both Christian and Jewish) who were "in the know" and involved in at very least allowing or facilitating and assisting (if not in the actual planning and full carrying out) in the 9/11 atrocities. I do not agree with the "eye for an eye" system of justice. As the saying goes, if we play by that rule, we would all be blind, and I do believe the Lord wants us to see what He is going to do. Yes, Israel has made mistakes, so has the United States, and any other country you want to name. We've all blundered as individuals, and as nations, we all fall short of perfection. Why is the world's solution to viciously repay for any wrongdoing, perceived and otherwise?

Jesus said to "watch and pray". I believe His solution is best. He will handle everything perfectly in His time. The world will continue to wage wars for all kinds of reasons. I personally believe that the main reason wars are fought is because there are bloodthirsty people that want to continue the atrocities. We won't stop them, Jesus will at the appointed time. In the meantime, we as His sheep are to watch, and pray.

Antisemitism and Shulamit Aloni

Shulamit Aloni is a former Israeli minister:


She says the labeling of antisemitism is a trick used to justify mistreatment of Palestinians. Whenever anyone challenges Israel of wrongdoing, they are reminded of the holocaust and accused of being an antisemite.

And a journalist received this death threat (recording on phone message machine):

 

I'm not even going to pretend to know all the answers about the problem. Of course the devil is behind it. Of course, Israel is not saved, and as of this time is still a nation of this world. Yes, there are special promises that God promised to Israel. I acknowledge that fact. I also acknowledge the fact that they are a nation of fallen people prone to error just as anyone else is. To cover up their errors and blindly support everything they do, is not being a "friend of Israel". It is no more being their friend to do so, than it would be kindly to support "a friend" with an alcohol or drug problem. We need to be honest, and honesty says we need to tell them the truth, that they are subject to sins and mistakes, and that they need to repent before a holy and forgiving God, Jesus, whom they have rejected.

Honesty is still the BEST policy.

Israel Today




The general consensus in Evangelical Christianity today seems to believe that Israel can do no wrong, that we are to lock arms with Israel in a spirit of unity and ecumenicalism. Paul told us they are cut off, but not to glory in ourselves in feelings of superiority about it. Israel has been cut off for a reason.

The Apostle Paul stated in Romans 11 that we are not to be "wise in our own eyes" and "arrogant" about this fact, that Israel is disobedient at the present time just as we were disobedient, so that God can show mercy to all  (Romans 11:31-32) and that the blindness of Israel is only until the fulness of the Gentiles has come in (Romans 11:25). 

At the present time Israel is still "antichrist" and until the Lord truly opens their eyes, they are against Jesus. That isn't to say that we shouldn't pray for Israel, and evangelize Israel. Paul pleaded with Israelites and Stephen lost his life trying to evangelize Israel. We cannot lock arms with Israel in a "spirit of unity" because Israel (that is to say SECULAR Israel and Israel that is still steeped in Judaism) is still in apostasy. Many Christians I've spoken with think that there is no need to evangelize the Jews because they "get it" through their genetics. There are blessings that Israel has been promised through Abraham (which we also share in) and through Jacob (which is specific to Israel, but it is bound to the present mortal time on earth), however, in order to be saved eternally, it is through being changed by the Holy Spirit, just as we had to be. To not tell Israel about that fact, and to pretend they can "get it" some other way through genetics, isn't honest. But we are not to tell them in such a way that we make ourselves better than they are. We are not any better than they are. We need God's mercy, just as they need God's mercy.


Let us pray for the peace (true peace in Jesus) of Israel.
