For The Haters

About 5000 years ago [circa 3000 B.C.], God called a man named Abram out of modern-day Iraq to come to modern-day Israel. God renamed this man Abraham and told him that He would make Abraham into a great nation (ie, Israel) and would bless all peoples on the Earth through him (ie, Messiah). God also told him:

"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse." [Genesis 12:3]

According to Webster's 9th Collegiate Dictionary, to curse someone is to bring great evil upon them. Historically [that is, until 1948], EVERY nation that has ever cursed, or brought "great evil" upon, the nation of Israel or the Jewish people has suffered destruction! Look back to the Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans and Germans. ALL were utterly and completely destroyed AFTER they brought "great evil" upon this nation and/or these people. They were either completely erased from history or now pale in comparison to what they were when they made the fatal mistake of cursing Abraham's progeny. Why? Because God has chosen them as His nation and His people, and has declared them "the apple of His eye". [Zechariah 2:8]

So, be warned . . . if you hate, or despise, or wish harm to either the nation of Israel or the Jewish people, you are in opposition to God and you WILL suffer at His very hand!! And so there is no mistake, be warned again . . . you will pay dearly if you poke a stick in God's "eye"!

If you have any hatred, resentment, racism or any other like feelings toward the nation of Israel or the Jewish people, repent. Get on your knees and ask God to, first, forgive you for these feelings and, second, replace them with a loving heart for Israel and the Jewish people. Then pray for Israel, for all Jews everywhere, and for peace in Jerusalem. [Psalm 122:6]

For The Christians

If you claim to be a Christian, and you hate Jews, YOU ARE A FOOL!! Don't you realize that your claimed Lord and Savior was BORN, CIRCUMCISED, REARED, and DIED an ORTHODOX JEW. He was a RABBI! It doesn't get any more Jewish than that.

We, Christians and Jews, are brothers in God Almighty. And if you know anything about Christianity, you know that you cannot HATE YOUR BROTHER and be pleasing in the eyes of God. Such hatred grieves the heart of Our Lord. Please — repent and hate no more.

For The Jews

Although I am no spokesman for anyone but myself, I would like to say this with all my heart — I am personally saddened by all the horrible and un-Christian things that have been done to you, your people and your homeland since ancient times by the thousands, maybe millions, of so-called Christians. These were the misguided acts of misguided people — most especially when they were done "in the Name of Christ". As Christians, we are to love, so I do not understand the hate.

Therefore, I can certainly understand your mistrust of anything Christian. But I ask you to please trust me on this one thing:

a true Christian — a genuine disciple of Jesus of Nazareth who knows, understands and believes the Bible — truly loves, admires and is grateful to you and your people. The branch of my faith that is Christianity, grows from the very root started in you by the Holy One of Israel.

So, it is my sincerest prayer that someday each of you will meet and befriend a true Christian and realize these truths for yourselves. Maybe then will the forgiveness, the healing, and the mutual understanding begin.
