King James Version
3 But with me it is a very small thing
that I should be judged of you,
or of man's judgment:
yea, I judge not mine own self.
4 For I know nothing by myself;
yet am I not hereby justified:
but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time,
until the Lord come,
who both will bring to light
the hidden things of darkness,
and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts:
and then shall every man have praise of God.
If you watch the news, surely, you've seen how Jews are being kept from their campuses.
And yet, it's been said, many elite universities had been founded by Christians.
Have they forgotten their foundation?
So, I think to myself, what would be an alternative for the Jews?
To put up their own schools?
To go to Israel, where they'll be accepted?
Or to turn to the Bible for comfort?
As born again, I urge Jews to pray to know GOD's will.
Only GOD knows how to protect His people.
They must really seek to know GOD.
For all have been prophesied.
Man's folly has an end.
The world may fall apart.
But GOD's WORD remains.
All my blogs seek to know truth.
Through the Bible.
It is the ONLY SOURCE I go to.
GOD's WORD tells me all I need to know.
Whether it be on the past, the present, or the future.
Whether it be on GOD, JESUS, the HOLY SPIRIT, or man.
Whether it be on Jews, or Gentiles.
For sometime now, I've been pondering the "matter of the Jews".
Why are they so reviled?
How shall they overcome all this animosity?
JESUS tells us very telling things.
Putting everything in its proper perspective.
In short, Jews must expect these from the world:
Matthew 10:22
King James Version
22 And ye shall be hated of all men
for my name's sake:
but he that endureth to the end
shall be saved.
John 15:18
King James Version
18 If the world hate you,
ye know that it hated me
before it hated you.
John 15:21
King James Version
21 But all these things will they do unto you
for my name's sake,
because they know not him that sent me.
John 15:23
King James Version
23 He that hateth me
hateth my Father also.
Powerful, powerful Scripture!
Leave it to the LORD to explain things clearly.
But how shall Jews find peace?
How shall they find comfort?
Who can give them all that?
A psalm of David will surely help.
For this brave and faithful king was perpetually attacked on ALL fronts.
Psalm 55:1-11
King James Version
55 Give ear to my prayer, O God;
and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Attend unto me, and hear me:
I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked:
for they cast iniquity upon me,
and in wrath they hate me.
4 My heart is sore pained within me:
and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me,
and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!
for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Lo, then would I wander far off,
and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
8 I would hasten my escape
from the windy storm and tempest.
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues:
for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:
mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof:
deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
Psalm 55:16-19
King James Version
16 As for me, I will call upon God;
and the Lord shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray,
and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace
from the battle that was against me:
for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them,
even he that abideth of old. Selah.
Because they have no changes,
therefore they fear not God.
Psalm 55:22-23
King James Version
22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee:
he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 But thou, O God,
shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction:
bloody and deceitful men
shall not live out half their days;
but I will trust in thee.
Israel is loved.
GOD loves Israel.
She is the apple of His eye.
No one can destroy Israel.
That's like trying to destroy JESUS.
Well, He is indestructible.
JESUS is a Jew.
Salvation is OF the JEWS.
John 4:22
King James Version
22 Ye worship ye know not what:
we know what we worship:
for salvation is of the Jews.
Romans 1:16
King James Version
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek.
One quirky thing you must know --
The salvation of Gentiles is intricately bound with the salvation of Jews.
And vice-versa.
But few people realize that.
It is a foolish man who fights GOD's laws.
It is an even more foolish man who defies GOD's will.
The sooner we surrender to GOD, the sooner we shall all have peace.
For both Jew, and Gentile.
The Jews deserve to breathe easier, too, you know.
Imagine a life, where you're constantly on guard.
With nations aiming to wipe out your race.
Can the same be said for any other race?
Has anyone really had mercy upon Israel, as she defends herself all day long?
Has anyone really looked at how tiny she is, compared to others?
Why would we want more of her already tiny land?
Unless Satan wants her vanquished, and totally destroyed.
Which he does, of course.
Know the spirit that drives you.
If it's of love, then you are of CHRIST.
If it's of hatred, then you're of the enemy.
By your actions you have revealed yourself.
2 Corinthians 4:4
King James Version
4 In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.
Know, too, we are in the end times.
Thus, the aggravated animosity towards Jews:
Isaiah 5:20
King James Version
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
that put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
2 Timothy 3:1-5
King James Version
3 This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded,
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.
