Publisher’s Preface
Greetings! The following presentation is volume thirteen of a 36-volume production of some 6,000 pages on “Ezekiel and YHWH’s Judgment for the Good News People,” all of which is on the Internet at the www.AgeEnd.com web site.
This overall effort provides an interpretation of the Good News message in the New Testament, its linkage to the book of Ezekiel, and an application of both to the age-end prophecies relating to certain nations and peoples now out in the world. In order for this single volume to be understood and comprehended, it is imperative that the study be read from its beginning--from page one of volume one.
Anyone trying to read this volume or the study’s 6,000 pages at any mid-point will end up in a state of confusion without having read and digested the preceding material. It is crucially important that this work be read in sequence from its beginning--otherwise, the reader will almost certainly end up missing the essence of the message!
The effort was originally set on a Macintosh computer with Microsoft Word 6.0.1. It was set in Helvetica, 12-point type (18 pt on chapter headings); single line spacings; and margins: left 1.2”, right 0.8”, top 0.7”, bottom 0.8” and footer 0.6” (for page numbers).
For further information on obtaining this study in 18 computer floppy disks (IBM-formatted, high density, 2HD, 1.44 MB, 3 1/2 inches); in a single CD-Rom; or in hard copies (when the Internet or a compatible computer is not available); please write the publisher at the above address and send a stamped, self-addressed, long (legal-size), return envelope.
With a CD-Rom or computer floppy disks, the study is readable on Macintosh (systems 5.0 and later) or IBM/compatible (with Microsoft Word-Windows) personal computers. May The Great CREATOR and SOVEREIGN OF THE UNIVERSE bless you as you study His word to learn His will and to obey Him. Shalom (peace) to you and yours!

Chapter 184--Attitude Toward Jews and Judaism
What is Needed
Any person who undertakes a serious study of the Word, with a view of obeying it, must quickly come to grips with the reality that a new and different attitude and perspective is needed on the question of the Jews and Judaism.
As detailed in the former chapters, there was substantial good in Second Temple Judaism and in the Second Temple synagogues. This is a hard pill for Christians to accept. But it is the real world in terms of the Scriptures. This conclusion is not something this writer has dreamed up from the Old Testament. No, it is the absolute truth and teaching of the New Testament (NT).
It is the New Testament which tells us about YESHUA, Shaul, Kefa and the other persons in YESHUA’s movement and the eventual Apostolic Assembly. We know from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, etc where those people worshipped and indeed how they worshipped in terms of procedures, liturgy, music and so forth. We know because the New Testament lays it out.
Yes, the NT unmistakably teaches that the Apostolic Assembly was made up of religious Jews or House of Yisrael Israelites who, out in the Diaspora, were in the process of conversion to Judaism. That’s the real world. Of course, of supreme importance, we know that YESHUA, Shaul and many, most or all of the others in YESHUA’s group were religious Jews of the Hillel Pharisee persuasion.
But Change Came In
Now, in citing the marvelous and wonderful benefits of Second Temple Judaism, this writer is simply not suggesting or implying that the succeeding years didn’t see some modifications in the ideology and framework of Judaism, following the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans. It’s too bad, but some changes were introduced into Judaism which were not good after 70 CE.
These changes have been detailed in previous chapters. They need no further focus here. Suffice to say, the Jewish devotion to the Talmud on a law and authority level is not good. Yet, the Talmud is an outstanding book for true believers to study because it explains and clarifies so much of the New Testament and the life of YESHUA and the other members of His group.
However, to the credit of the many dedicated and conscientious Jewish people, sages and scholars over the years, much of the culture and mental outlook on life and religion has been preserved in modern Orthodox Judaism. This is not to say that modern Orthodox Judaism is near the admiral level of Second Temple Judaism. It is not! But it is close and so close that a believer must respect it.
On this reasoning, it is also useful to realize that there are many important distinctions and differences between the Orthodox Judaism of Sephardim as opposed to Ashkenazi Jews. Manifestly, the Sephardim are far closer to truth and righteousness than the Ashkenazim.
It seems that the Ashkenazi European Jews have been heavily influenced by the evil thinking of Amalekites who have come to that definition over the years.
Undoubtedly, it has been the evil Amalekites and their propensity for sin to have allowed the development of the current Reform Jewish movement and its fall-outs. While the Conservative Jews are substantially better than Reform Jews, they too have some problems.
The Real Needs
Based upon the above remarks and the findings detailed in the former chapters on Judaism, any open student of truth must turn to Judaism to find answers on worship procedures, liturgy, music, congregational prayers and so forth, as found in modern Orthodox Judaism. As will be conclusively proven later herein, Christian worship simply will not fit the needs of truth and righteousness.
Hence, there must be a turn to Judaism and to it with an open attitude and not being close minded, as is true with so many Christians and Christian denominations.
The Historic Problem
As noted earlier, historic Christianity has always had a basic hatred and animosity toward Judaism. Interestingly, Christians have not had a particular dislike or hatred toward racial or ethnic Jews. But their venom has always been turned toward Judaism and any Jew who is religious and sincere in practicing Judaism.
The Christian predecessors in ancient sun worship Greece started this vile hatred of Judaism with the death of Alexander the Great. The Greeks were not able to convert the religious Jews to the Grecian sun worship faiths. So the Greeks responded with enormous hatred toward the Jews who wanted to keep their Scriptural Hebrew faith.
Historically, for vast centuries, the Christian hatred and opposition to Judaism was out in the open. Religious Jews were slaughtered by the thousands and/or millions. All they had to do was give up their faith. But many religious Jews refused.
The same problem has also faced so-called Gentiles or goyim (in the Hebrew), in reference to people who are not Jews. Any person who has practiced many or any of the Scriptural requirements of the Old Testament has been in trouble in the secular society for the past 2,000 years.
It’s been all right to obey OT commandments which promote humanism and define man’s duties, needs and requirements with other men. But when a person undertakes to show love to The MOST HIGH and observe things which will demonstrate that love (like in keeping certain religious feasts, eating certain food or engaging in certain liturgy in worship), the person is then in trouble.
Since some form of religious freedom has come about in the last one hundred years in much of the Christian West, things are not as bad now as they once were. It used to be that if you tried to keep the Seventh day Sabbath and the watching society found out about it, you would be burned alive at the stake. The Christian world presently does not impose that punishment upon people obeying the Torah.
But the groundwork is being laid on right now in the New World Order to re-impose that former dictatorial religious state. It’s coming. We can be sure of it--not whether, but only of when.
The Jewish Role
In describing the great hurt and persecution which has come upon good religious Jews over their acts of faith and obedience of the Torah, it must be noted that the Jews themselves have somewhat brought on the punishment which has befallen them.
The worst thing which the Jews did was to allow John Hyrcanus and his colleagues to forcibly convert the diabolical, Satan directed Amalekites before 100 BCE. These workers of evil and depravity, in the form of the Herods and the Herodians, brought enormous hurt upon good Jews. Surely, they were the main force to perpetuate the Roman wars and the destruction of Jerusalem.
With the conquest of Jerusalem, many or indeed perhaps most of the Amalekite workers of evil vanished from the ranks of Jewry. Many of the Amalekites in the Jerusalem area were killed and destroyed by the Romans. Others fled Palestine for the North. And many, of course, sold out to the Romans and became Roman citizens (this gave the Romans a surge of Amalekites into its ranks).
Not content with being largely free of the Amalekite children of Satan, world Jewry in the 8th century CE allowed the Khazars of Eastern European (who seem to be the very Amalekite people who had earlier fled Palestine) to convert to Judaism and reassert their work of destruction once more. This was a terrible blunder by the Jewish leaders to allow these Amalekites into their midst.
Much of the persecution and trouble on the Jews in Europe in the succeeding centuries came about precisely because of the presence and works of evil from these Satanic people. This was certainly true in the pre WWII days, when Germany, under Adolf Schicklgruber, turned against the Jews to punish and hurt both good Jews and bad Jews.
As noted earlier, and as will be proven later herein, it was the Amalekite workers of evil who completely set WWII up. Amalekites--like the Roosevelts, Schicklgruber and likely Churchill (whose mother was evidently an Amalekite Jewess)--led the way in murdering and killing millions of people in Europe.
In discussing the work of these Amalekite Jew workers of evil, it must be said that huge numbers of Amalekites have also converted to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and other worldly religions. Too, many of them are outright atheists.
But regardless of their religions, many of them are in the US and White British Commonwealth nations where they have been accepted and allowed into leadership roles--just as happened in the first century BCE and first century CE in Palestine. The Jews made a mistake in those days and the gullible Christian goyim have done the precise same thing in the last couple hundreds of years in the US and Britain.
Therefore
This exact situation therefore brings into play something that few people are ever able to grasp in today’s modern world. There is a sharp distinction between true, religious Jews (who probably have some good Adamic gene lines) and the evil Amalekite children of Satan who pretend to be Jews (but are not Jews).
True Jews and the Jewish religion (other than the Reform religion which is basically evil) are good things. The Amalekite Jews are bad. It has been and will continue to be the Amalekite Jews who have brought such great hurt on not only the good Jews, but indeed upon the world at large.
The Confusion
Certainly, the world at large, and particularly the world of Christendom in the US and White British Commonwealth, is totally lost in trying to recognize this distinction in the broad classification of the Jews. People simply are unable to distinguish between the Jewish religion and good Jews and other ethnic Jews who are actually Amalekite sons of Satan.
This indictment applies to the whole world. It seems to affect all of Christendom, to include even the world of Christian Identity. It appears that there are few, if any, persons out there claiming to be Christian Identity adherents, who have the foggiest notion of what Judaism is and is not and what and who the Amalekites are and who they are not. People are simply lost on these issues.
What is sadly needed is a whole new approach to the Jewish question. Assuredly, this new approach will come about in the world tomorrow when YESHUA rules this globe directly. But the need is ever present in the world right now.
This writer has broached this difficult theme at length in the previous chapters addressing Judaism and the Jews. But in an effort to reduce the dilemma down to its basics, the following chapters will present the reality of the problem and particularly of it in terms of the modern Christian Identity movement.
There may be only a few people who do grasp the significance of the problem. But hopefully, there will be some out there who benefit from the following presentation made in this production.
This outline of the problem and an attempt to understand it will set the stage for succeeding commentary on what should comprise the age end congregation of righteousness. In order to properly address this coming ideal entity, it is imperative that the student of truth have some perspective on the Jews and the importance of Judaism.
Chapter 185--Race and Religion Enigma I
The Topic of Race
Although there is no intent presently to rehash the several previous chapters in this publication on race, there is a need to point out something which the reader perhaps has not yet grasped in the context of why this theme was handled the way it was herein.
Race, racial differences and racial identifications are profoundly important topics in YHWH’s Word. This reality is in sharp contrast to what the modern Christian culture and society tell the dumb sheep under their control.
The Scriptures offer an abundance of data on race and acknowledge that The ELOHIM has made a large number of His decisions based precisely on this factor--whether anyone likes it or not.
It is The MOST HIGH Who has chosen to make the primary separate races of humans/humanoids (Adamite, behemah and chaiyah). Put another way, The ELOHIM, Himself, has created the three major races of White, Black and Red peoples. He is responsible for the different races!
These all were good creations. They were all made for various purposes, whether any modern Christian can understand them or not. From these basically good creations, Satan and men collectively have chosen to alter The SUPREME’s creations, as if there was something inherently wrong with them (as they were created by The CREATOR).
Beyond the basic three races, Nachash quickly seduced Eve and apparently introduced a fourth racial type into history. Shortly thereafter, the messengers also came down and cohabited and crossed with the various humans/humanoids.
And very quickly (pre-flood and later), the Adam kind began miscegenating with the descendants of Kain, the behemah, the chaiyah and messengers to produce a whole variety of mamzer and nokri/nekar peoples which today are found all over the globe.
With these numerous acts of miscegenation to produce the great racial variations found today, they clearly constitute efforts on the part of Satan and limited little men to change and alter the basic separate creations of humans/humanoids which The HIGHEST created as good at the beginning.
Why would anyone want to change the marvelous and perfect creations of wonderful true Black, White and Red peoples into imperfect, flawed mongrels? Why would anyone want to change what The MOST HIGH created as good into something that is obviously not good? Yet, this has happened and is happening regularly.
Addressing the Differences
Of course, this production has had to deal with the various words used by YHWH in His Book to describe the different classes of so-called human beings (the different races) and outline His plans for them in the context of the creation and in the definition of who are the people of the Good News.
Despite this necessity, however, it must be realized that there are enemies of truth out there in the world who will take these words and misuse them by attacking this effort as racist of some sort. People can and do easily twist truth in order to serve their own evil purposes.
Never mind what the Scriptures say, these wretched souls will burn the midnight oil in an effort to condemn, hurt and punish, if possible, this work simply because the (politically incorrect) subject of race (however important it is in the Word) is a taboo topic which no one can dare address in today’s contemporary society. To be politically correct, this issue must be swept under the rug.
Perhaps one of the main problems is that whenever the Amalek-Edomites claim to be The MOST HIGH’s chosen people (Israel), society looks upon this as being normal and good. But let any other group come along and claim to be The ELOHIM’s chosen people (Israel) and they are immediately branded as racists. And if they are White, they are furthermore called White supremacists.
Christian Hatred
As suggested earlier, this hysteria has created a situation whereby society at large has a great fear of the Judeans, as was true in YESHUA’s day (Jo 7:13). While the general public has this incredible fear of the Judeans, it is interesting that most Christians have a most extraordinary hatred of the Jewish religion, in particular, though there aren’t many around with the same passionate hatred of Jews racially or ethnically.
The position of Christians historically has been that racial and ethnic Jews are wonderful people if they abandon Judaism and convert to Christianity. This was always the cry in the dark ages when Rome ruled the world and persecuted “religious” Jews without mercy.
During the Spanish inquisition, the only way out for a religious Jew to survive was to abandon his faith and become a Christian. Specifically, he had to submit to Catholic Christian baptism (“Hunted Heretic,” p. 6). Jews were either baptized or they had better flee for their lives because Catholic authorities would murder them if they were caught.
Once the most vile, evil and diabolical Amalek-Edomite of all has left Judaism and declared himself a Christian (even if he still is a secret Satanist in his heart), he will be accepted by the Christian Israelite community with open arms--all the while that these Israelites foolishly ignore his real plan and purpose of destroying them because he positively hates them as a result of his blood and seed lines.
The exception on this racial acceptance, if there is one, is primarily among Christian Identity religious adherents, so-called right wing participants and historic Nazi figures. A relatively “few” of these people have “supposedly” had enormous hatred for both Judaism and Jews without distinction.
But there is little or no proof of this alleged hatred because there have been any number of Amalek-Edomite Jews in the German Nazi party (including the Nazi leader Adolf Schicklgruber, himself); the American Nazi party; the Ku Klux Klan; and more recently, in the modern Christian Identity movement.
There is also some question about the incredible hatred which the modern Arabs bear for Jews. Some of this hatred seems to be along racial or likely political lines and not involving religion at all. Arab hatred of Jews was outlined in a former chapter and will be further addressed in later chapters.
Some Examples From History
Even one of the most famous, alleged, Jew haters in American history, Gerald L. K. Smith (who was an ordained minister of the Disciples of Christ Church), really had no particular problem with the Jews, per se.
As his biographer Glen Jeansonne mentioned, Smith believed that Jews could become religious brethren by renouncing Judaism (which he considered to be the forces of the Devil) and accepting “Christ” (“Gerald L. K. Smith, Minister of Hate,” p. 102). In 1964, Smith publicly supported Christian Jew Barry Goldwater for president, per Jeansonne (ibid, p. 166).
The same condition existed with Martin Luther of the 16th century--who had a fantastic reputation for anti-Semitism and Jew hatred. But this reputation collapses when one looks more carefully at the real thinking of the famous reformer Martin Luther. An article by Rick Aharon Chaimberlin on “The Judgment” in the Oct-Dec 1999 “Petah Tikvah” (p. 14-15) laid out some interesting things about Luther.
As Chaimberlin wrote, Luther, at first, wrote and spoke well of the Jews. Apparently, he did so in the context that he expected them to join in with his brand of Protestant Christianity that was developing. When they did not abandon Judaism to join him, he turned on them with a vengeance.
One must understand that this Luther hatred of the Jews was not really a racial hate at all. He hated Judaism. Any Jew willing to convert to Christianity was a good Jew. Any Jew who refused to convert was a bad Jew. Luther took his hatred out on these so-called bad Jews who would not convert.
This “Petah Tikvah” magazine quoted Luther from “The Jew in the Ancient World” by Marcus (p. 167-169), which was cited by William Nicholls in “Christian Anti-Semitism.” The essence of this Luther condemnation was an attack upon Judaism. Luther argued that the synagogues should be burned down, that Jewish prayer books and the Talmud be kept from them, and that “rabbis” be forbidden to teach.
While he spoke against Jews, Luther did so in the context of them being Jews--religiously. Again, the evidence is persuasive that those Jews who abandoned being a Jew and Judaism in order to convert to Christianity was a good person. There is no question about it whatsoever, Luther hated Judaism and not racial/ethnic Jews, per se.
It seems that any Jew and/or Edomite willing to become a Christian is a good person in the eyes of even the biggest of Jew haters. This is a most fascinating phenomenon because the liberal establishment has come to call these right wing people “White supremacists, racists, anti-Semites, bigots and Jew haters.” In truth, they really have little or no problem with racial Jews or Edomites at all. Their problem is with Judaism.
The one thing that all Christian Israelites (with few if any exceptions) readily agree upon is that they totally hate Judaism and want to see it destroyed, just as the racial Edomites want to see them destroyed. Christians, including right wing types, are typically not racists at all. Their main focus is on religion. They may be religious bigots. But they are not racists in terms of the Jews!
This Christian anti-Judaism goes back a long way. The evidence is most persuasive that it started within Christendom at the very beginnings of Christianity in Rome in c42-50 CE (to be assessed in some detail in later chapters)--although the tragedy was much older, as will be shown in the succeeding comments.
The Real Source of This Hatred
While some persons might try to make a case that the ancient Romans were fairly tolerant of all religions (including Judaism), this is not totally true. The problem with ancient Rome and the Roman Empire is that its culture and civilization was Grecian. This reality will be addressed in some detail in subsequent chapters.
The “Dictionary of Judaism in the Biblical Period” (p. 43) addresses this issue in an article on pagan anti-Semitism. This article suggests that before 200 BCE, there was some pagan neutrality towards the Jews. But as early as 200 BCE, the story was told that the Jews worshipped a donkey in the Jerusalem Temple (per a writer named Mnaseas of Patara).
This article also says that evidence for pagan anti-Semitism primarily developed during the times of the Maccabees. Advisors to the Seleucid king maligned the “misanthropic and impious customs” of the Jews. Apparently, the Romans were not as bad as the Greeks. But even some Roman literature had condemnations of Judaism and Jewish practices (circumcision, Sabbath keeping and not eating pork).
The “Dictionary of New Testament Theology” (DNTT, v. 2, p. 310) has an article which discusses the terms Judah, Jew, Jewish and Judaism from the standpoint of early historical times. This source suggests that the word “Jew” was used by Gentiles as a contemptuous term of abuse and that the Gentile world did not understand the peculiarity and necessary separation (kodesh) of the Jewish people.
Going on, DNTT says that because the Jews could not take part in the Gentile cults and social life, they were regarded as godless, haters of foreigners, and even haters of men in general (yes, pagan Greek sun worshippers looked down upon Jewish followers of YHWH and the Torah as “godless,” just as they still do today in Christendom).
DNTT adds that Alexandrian writers, in particular, spread horrific tales about the history and worship of the Jews which were readily believed and copied. Contempt for Judaism also resulted in hatred which worked itself out in bloody persecutions (per DNTT).
Perhaps some of these tales commenced the incredibly ridiculous theory of Jews sacrificing Christian children at Passover (as is assessed in some detail in other comments herein). This charge is too stupid to be discussed. But it became the real world of Christian thinking for the long, dark ages that the Roman Catholic Church effectively ruled the world and called the shots for secular kings.
The above remarks establish the reality that very early in the times of Grecian rule (when the Greeks imposed their culture on the civilized world), enormous hatred was developing for Judaism. This hatred was never against the Jews, per se. Instead it was essentially focused upon the Jewish faith and religion.
Surely, the fact that a religious Jew would not participate in pagan ceremonies, holidays and customs must have been a primary focus of this hatred. If the Jew would but compromise his faith and act like the pagan sun worshippers, then everything would have been all right. He would be a good Jew. And this happened among some Jews in the context of Hellenism. Many Hellenistic Jews compromised their beliefs.
Of course, all that the Greek sun worshippers wanted was for the Jews to do like everybody else--assimilate, mix, integrate and adopt the Greek sun worship religion, culture, gods, holidays, customs and practices (all of these will be addressed in detail in subsequent chapters herein).
Probably, it was the failure of Greek rulers to impose the Greek religion and culture upon the Second Temple Jews which made them such arch enemies of Judaism. This reality has been discussed in previous remarks. Needless to say, the Greeks tried hard to convert the Jews to Grecian thinking. But the work of the Maccabees in the second century BCE put down this evil effort.
The failure to make Greeks out of the Jews must have hurt their pride. After all, they seemed to have success wherever they went in Asia and Europe in making the people adopt the Greek polytheistic religion, culture, philosophy and civilization. It was only in Palestine with the Jews that the Greeks failed.
Hatred for the Jewish Religion
In any case, it was soon established that the Greeks had a passionate hatred for Judaism (not the racial or ethnic Jews, per se). The focus was effectively upon religion. As always, any Jew who was willing to turn from his religion and adopt the Greek religion and culture was a good Jew in Greek eyes. The problem was manifestly those Jews who would not convert.
This prevailing Greek hatred of Judaism (not racial or ethnic Jews) continued through the years until the establishment of Christianity. It was picked upon and became a cardinal part of Christian theology, almost from Christianity’s earliest days.
Certainly, the anti-Judaism position was well established in Christianity and the Roman Empire by the mid second century CE when Justin Martyr wrote his attack upon Judaism (“Who Wrote the New Testament? The Making of the Christian Myth,” p. 267). Later chapters herein will discuss Christian history in some detail to prove how the seeds were successfully sown for this venomous hatred against Judaism.
In any case, there has been an enormous anti-Judaism motivation within Christendom from its earliest days. This has continued on into modern times. Christians have no problems with Jews, per se (if they turn their backs on Judaism and become Christians). Christians have problems and hatred for Jews who will not abandon Judaism. Judaism, in Christian eyes, is one of the primary enemies of Christianity.
The “Why” For This Continuing Christian Hatred
The question must inevitably surface on the “why” for this incredible hatred by collective Christianity toward Judaism? This writer is convinced that the Christian motivation here is its intense hatred and animosity toward the Torah and YHWH’s mitzwot. Most Christians thoroughly hate YAH’s Torah, as was discussed in comments heretofore.
Sometimes, it is possible to believe that this Christian hatred even extends to the Old Testament YHWH, Himself, and particularly in view of such depraved thinking by early Christians--like the kook Marcion, discussed at length previously. It’s not that any Christians are going to admit it. They won’t. But they do possess these motives which spill over into their hatred toward Judaism.
The problem with Judaism is that it teaches the Torah and obedience of all of YAH’s commandments and not just the few of them that some Christians will highlight and espouse. It’s not to say that Jews understand all of The ELOHIM’s laws (like laws dealing with environmental pollution). They don’t! But they don’t talk against them (as Christians routinely do).
Christians are opposed to such teachings about the Torah and obedience to it. Hence, they respond by criticizing and attacking Jews, the Talmud and the Jewish religion, never understanding what the real problems are in their own Western Christian religion and culture.
If asked, the usual Christian will commence with some diatribe about the Jews rejecting “Christ,” never understanding that people who reject YHWH’s Torah and disobey are themselves rejecting the NT Jewish MESSIAH.
Yes, faith is tied to obedience and works (Jas 2:1-26). It is impossible to have the true gift of faith, described herein, if one is in rebellion towards the perfection, righteousness and love found in YHWH’s Torah.
People may give lip service to and offer meaningless words about some so-called acceptance and belief in Gee-Zeus. But if they reject YHWH YESHUA’s Torah, they categorically reject Him. At least, the religious Jew is informed and intellectually honest on what he believes in his rejection of YESHUA. He is not a hypocrite in this rejection.
Ignorant Christians are generally like other sun worshipping pagans who know not what they believe (I Cor 2:2-16). At best, they may have some zeal for The ELOHIM while in a state of ignorance (Rom 10:2). However, in all cases, they are hypocrites when they claim to believe in Him while rejecting His words and commandments.
The Christian Attitude
The Christian position was well stated by Conservative Vatican leader Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (as cited earlier herein). He created a storm of protests among Jews when he publicly declared that “the Catholic Church is waiting for Israel and Jews to embrace Christianity” (Sep 22, 2000, “Jerusalem Post,” p. 3). Yes, that has been the cry for virtually all of Christianity for 2,000 years.
Christians generally (to include Christian Identity people, almost without exception) want Jews to abandon Judaism and become Christians. Christianity has never hated Jews. What Christendom hates is Judaism! Once a Jew abandons the Scriptural Sabbath and feast days (Passover, Sukkot, etc) and accepts Sunday, Christmas and Easter and once the Jew starts eating pork, then he becomes a good Jew.
In Christian eyes, it is religious Jews who are bad (really because they keep Scriptural feasts and eat Scripturally clean foods). Moreover, it is Jewish men who wear beards and Jewish women who are covered in public--both of which constitute problems in the Christian world. If they would just change and give up those OT practices, they would become good Jews--fully deserving of Christian love, care and concern.
John Sturgnell
There is one more feature of this discussion on race and Judaism which must be acknowledged as being of enormous importance. This condition was brought out by John Sturgnell, former chief editor of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a professor of archaeology at Harvard University. In preparing his book on “Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls” (p. 260-261), Hershel Shanks interviewed Sturgnell.
Like almost all Christians, all over the world, Sturgnell has absolutely nothing to say against Jews. But he is extremely anti-Judaism. He postulates the Christian position that the Jewish problem would be immediately solved by their “mass conversion” to Christianity.
But Sturgnell goes one step further when he outlined his primary complaint against Judaism. He charged that it “is originally racist...it’s a folk religion; it’s not a higher religion” (“Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls,” p. 260). While Sturgnell was very biased and prejudiced because of his Christian religion, his remarks are interesting, although largely incorrect.
Incidentally, Sturgnell is known to have had a problem with alcoholism (May/Jun 2002 “Biblical Archaeology Review,” p. 33). So maybe, he was drunk when he uttered those words.
While he was editor of the Dead Sea Scrolls (from 1984 to 1990), his work (or lack of work) brought much criticism from other scholars. During his tenure, he only published one volume of material on the Dead Sea Scrolls. This compares with 30 volumes published by his successor Emanuel Tov from 1991 to 2002 (ibid, p. 34). Possibly, when Sturgnell left the scrolls’ project, he left with some bitterness toward the Jews.
Chapter 186--Race and Religion Enigma II
Modern Hypocrite Christian Identity Leaders
Recently, this writer watched a home video documentary put out by “Saxon” productions on Christian “Identity.” The gist of this effort was a short presentation by several of the leading Christian Identity preachers on the subject of Identity and now evident social and moral problems in the United States.
In the presentation, there was much discussion about “God’s law” and the fact that Americans are in rebellion toward that law. Over and over, some of the speakers would condemn the rest of rebellious Christendom for their opposition to the law, as if Christian Identity people know about the law and keep it.
While these speakers could make these statements, one could look at their physical appearances and immediately perceive the absolute sin and rebellion in each of their hearts.
All of them were clean shaven (a couple of mustaches were present) and it is doubtful that there was a one of them who had the foggiest notion that YHWH’s law addresses that question (Lev 19:27). One of the biggest law advocates in the group is reportedly a pork eater which goes to establish that he is a hypocrite for sure. As will be discussed later, the Torah says that they were all in sin!
Going on, one can be sure that the very clothes which they were wearing was in rebellion toward the Torah--probably with mixed blends of cloth since that is mostly what the secular society sells. Indeed, a true commandment keeper must go out of his way to obey YHWH on this mitzwah (Lev 19:19; Deut 22:9-11).
If someone would mention to these preachers topics like physical circumcision, Sabbaths, Scriptural feast days, dwelling in booths at Sukkot, dogs being unclean animals and environmental pollution, they would laugh and make fun of the very suggestion.
You can just about bank on it that not a one of these Christian leaders had any information at all about phylacteries (Ex 13:1-16; Deut 6:4-9; 11:13-21), and talitoth (the plural of talith) with tzitzityot (Num 15:37-41; Deut 22:12). Instead, the film tried to make points by questioning an elderly Jew with a beard, who appeared to be in obedience of these physical laws.
Easy Marks of Identification
Now, these are just some of the physical issues which an observer can immediately spot without even listening to spoken words or attempting to ascertain what is really in hearts. Question, when people refuse to obey even the simplest physical points in the Torah, how in the world can they ever begin to appreciate the weightier matters in the Torah, involving loyalty, compassion, truth and justice?
In listening to these Christian leaders, it was quite manifest that they were all very proud and self righteous individuals (as almost all Christians are). In that sense, they were classic hypocrites (just like almost all other Christians and Jews as well). It is no big deal when a person meets a proud hypocrite because so-called human beings tend to lean in that direction. As Augustine said, pride is the essence of sin.
Thus, if Christian teachers are opposed to physical circumcision of the flesh, it is inconceivable that they would know anything at all about spiritual circumcision of the heart where the evil, proud, vain hearts are cut and crushed and replaced with genuine humility. This whole theme on pride and circumcision was addressed in previous chapters.
Another Illustration of Christian Identity Thinking
For a number of years, there has been a unique Christian Identity preacher named Clyde D. Edminster (or Edminister), who has lived and/or worked out of Western Washington (in the Tacoma and/or Rainier areas). His work was known to me some 20 years ago. Whether he is still in the Christian Identity business or not is unknown now. But his story can be told the way it once was.
This Edminster was/is a classic Christian Identity Sunday keeper who talks about obedience, but doesn’t obey much of anything himself--at least in terms of the Scriptures. He seems to be a Pentecostal or Charismatic Holy Roller, as is true with a huge number of other Washington state, Christian Identity people.
Edminster once published a Christian Identity periodical and used to visit different Identity groups for revivals and/or Christian meetings. Having heard him speak on a couple of occasions, it was apparent to me that he didn’t like Jews (as is the normal Christian Identity mode).
Clyde may not have hated the Jews as passionately as some of the other Christian Identity types, but he clearly was no fan of them (or at least, he was supposedly no fan of Jews, as he conveyed that impression publicly in his meetings). In many of Edminster’s evangelistic and preaching campaigns, he has had a much younger man with him (whose name may have been Smith, as was reported to me).
This younger person was interesting in his own right because he was/is Clyde’s son-in-law and Clyde advertises him as a converted “Christian Jew” in his Christian Identity preaching campaigns. If Smith was/is his name (as was suggested to me), one must be suspicious that his name was something else in earlier years (perhaps Smithinberg or Smithinstein or something else).
Likely, he or one of his paternal ancestors changed the Jewish name to a more Anglo name--like Smith. Presumably, this Edminster son-in-law believes in the Christian Identity message and theology since he often travels with Clyde and seems to present the same pitch and outreach.
Now comes a problem. Why is it or how is it that a Christian Identity, Jew hater can have a Jewish Christian son-in-law and take him to his Christian Identity, Jew hating meetings and proudly introduce him as a Jew? This is quite a paradox and especially since Edminster and his Christian Identity colleagues all accept and fellowship with the Jewish man without a whimper of opposition.
Well, the solution to this dilemma is not so difficult after all in the case of Clyde and thousands of other Jew hating, Christian Identity people. When all of the fat is boiled away (down to the meat of the issue), neither Clyde or most or all of his Christian Identity colleagues hate Jews, per se. What they hate is the Jewish religion (just as is true with Christianity at large).
Since Christian Identity people seem to be more prone to loudly advertise and talk about their alleged Jew hatred (as opposed to what one normally hears from nominal Christians, who tend to be quieter about the subject in today’s controlled society), it appears that they probably have a demonic problem that is fueling their enormous hate. As a minimum, they never understand the issue (just like other Christians).
In any case, when this Smith fellow (or whatever his name was or is) became a Christian and married Clyde’s daughter, he automatically became a good person (in the eyes of the Christian Identity movement).
Now, whether Smith was a true Israelite Jew or an evil Amalekite pretender matters little or nothing in Christian thinking. Once he converted, he became good in the eyes of Christendom and its Christian Identity stooges (another perfect illustration of this Christian Identity hypocrisy surfaces in the case of former Christian Identity leader William Potter Gale, a stealth Jew, who will be addressed in later chapters herein).
Christian Identity people are such gross hypocrites, coupled with some very present ignorance and lack of understanding. Whenever they think about Jews and however much they may froth and foam at the mouth in alleged hatred, the true is that they don’t hate Jews at all. What they passionately hate with venom is Judaism (just like generic Christianity at large).
Earl Jones and the Christian Problem
This production has quoted Christian Identity preacher Earl Jones of Deming, New Mexico from time to time (Jones died in 2001). Mr Jones was an elderly man at his death and was very unique in many ways while he lived. He was an intelligent man and an excellent researcher and teacher (as evidenced in his bi-monthly publication “Intelligence Newsletter”).
Jones was a Christian and specifically a Christian Identity proponent. If he had one weakness, he was like other Christians in that he seemed to be Scripturally shallow and weak in the Word. He was good on history and race, but sadly lacking in terms of comprehending the Book. This is not unusual for Christians. In the generic sense, Christians are grossly inadequate in terms of the Scriptures.
Christians may know some NT verses and can quote them. But tragically, they usually misquote them; and certainly misunderstand them because of the general Christian rejection of the Tanakh. Couple this reality with the fact that most Christians are extremely proud and vain (like everyone else in the world) and some of them are even downright stupid or grossly lacking in any scholarship ability.
There is a great source of pride, arrogance and hatefulness among many of the Christian Identity people. Some groups have significant problems. For example, the Christian Identity newspaper “Jubilee” for Sep-Dec 1999 (p. 12) said that the Christian Identity, Aryan Nations sect (previously cited) was made up of idiots, morons and feds.
Certainly, this is a true assessment for Aryan Nations which not only has a problem with IQ levels, but is entrapped into occult ceremonies, political Nazism and worship and/or adoration of Adolf Schicklgruber (who is addressed in some detail elsewhere herein). Thus, much of the Christian Identity movement is in the buffoon class (and this clearly is true with many of the motion’s preachers, teachers and leaders).
Like generic Christians, the Identity people are Scripturally shallow and filled with intense hatred for the Jewish religion (as discussed earlier). They differ from other Christians (who tend to keep their hatred and animosity quiet toward Judaism), in that they are very vocal and come out in public with their venom (which they express toward all Jews--who are still Jews and have not yet converted to Christianity).
Anyway, Earl Jones was in this class of Christian Identity, Jew haters (despite the fact that he was a man of intelligence and a capable writer and teacher--not on the Scriptures, but on history and race). Regularly, Mr Jones used to put out some very excellent material in his bi-monthly letter. Normally, it was hard to criticize him at all.
Jones Zeroed In On the Talmud
But Jones certainly bombed out in his Jan-Feb 2000 issue (p. 1-4), which was a sad demonstration of his hatred for Judaism (not Jews, per se, if they convert to Christianity, but Jews who choose to remain as Jews). As always in Christian hate, the Talmud and the Pharisees are the whipping posts in discussing Judaism.
Of course, Jones focused upon the Talmud and the Pharisees, neither of which he obviously knew much about. He opened his barrage with a charge that Christianity did not come from Judaism (which he was actually correct on--but in a strange way, not understood by him, as will be proven in later chapters on Christian history).
He then asserted that “Jesus Christ came to save Israel from the Talmudic Pharisees,” by trying to use Luke 1:68-73. Jones went on by charging that the enemies discussed by Zechariah in Luke 1 were the Talmudic Pharisees and that “Jesus” spent his entire ministry countering the effects of Talmudism. Per Mr Jones, the entire chapter of Matthew 23 was dedicated to the problems of the Talmud.
While the case can be made that the NT Zekharyah spoke of the racial Amalekites in his use of the word “enemies” (as cited by Mr Jones), there manifestly was no way that he could have been referring to the Talmud or the Hebrew religion that he was in profound support of.
After all, Zekharyah was a priest intimately involved in both work at the Temple and the development of the Talmud (that was still in the theory stage in those days).
For sure, any person who believed this Jones nonsense still believes in the tooth fairy business. The utter failure of these remarks is assessed in detail throughout this publication at hand. Jones could not have been more wrong on all points (except that Christianity did not come from Judaism--which it categorically did not). He simply never got any thing right in his statements on the Talmud.
In some few of his other charges, Jones did a little better (by getting them partly correct). As he saw the problem, the Talmudic Pharisees controlled both of the governments of Rome and Judea. Per him, it was because of the strong opposition to Talmudism, including overturning the money changers’ tables, which brought about the death of The MESSIAH.
Though he has these complaints wrong, there are some elements of truth present. For instance, the overturning of the money changers’ tables played a key role in the execution of YESHUA (as will be established in subsequent chapters herein on YESHUA’s murderers). It is also true that there were some evil Amalekites in Rome and Judea who were calling the shots (to be later established and proven).
Jones Lacked Understanding
But the thing that Jones was completely ignorant about is the fact that the Amalekites are not religious Jews. They may “pretend” to be religious Jews (just as they pretend to be atheists, Muslims and Christians). But in fact, they are true racial and religious sons of Satan. They are Satanists/Luciferians--which is exactly what Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 say.
As far as the Talmud or the zillions of Christian commentaries on the Scriptures, none of this stuff has any relevance whatsoever to Satanic Amalekites. Of course, some Amalekites may quote and use the Jewish Talmud--just as they may quote and use the writings of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ellen White, Joseph Smith, Matthew Henry, John Calvin and thousands of other Christians.
But all of this is mere window dressing because Amalekites are not interested in any of this stuff--only in the pursuit and promotion of Satanism/Luciferianism and the destruction of Israel. So, what Christian or Jewish books Amalekites use is quite irrelevant. It means nothing!
Previous chapters have already described the Talmud in some detail. There is no need to go though those remarks again. The short of it is that the Mishnah is a commentary on the Torah, and the Gemara is a commentary on the Mishnah. Much of this stuff is opinion and means nothing in terms of authority.
Admittedly, some of it in the Talmud may be irrelevant to the Torah or even be bad information (just as is true with Christian commentators like Ellen White, Matthew Henry, Adam Clarke, John Calvin, John Wesley, Joseph Smith, Billy Graham, the Pope, Wesley Swift, Earl Jones, Pete Peters, Dave Barley and tens of thousands of other Christian writers who have written some bad stuff or irrelevant remarks).
Jones Missed the Point
Beyond all of the bad information that Jones passed along in his Jan-Feb 2000 letter, perhaps the worst of it came out when he said. “By historical definition, Phariseeism is Talmudism and a Jew is one who believes in the Talmud. It has nothing to do with race...”
First, all Jews do not believe in the Talmud. Many do, but not all--in NT times or even today (i.e. the Essenes, Karaites and secular Jews, to include Amalekites, can be cited). Next, the Pharisees in Second Temple days were but one sect or part of Judaism. Judaism and the Jewish people were far bigger definitions than just the Pharisees.
The Pharisee dimension (however much modern Christians may not understand the Pharisees or Second Temple Judaism) included YESHUA, Shaul and most of the Apostolic Assembly, as proven earlier. Last, the primary question in the NT is exactly one of race and nothing else.
There is no particular focus or concern over any alleged evils of the religion of the NT people (although some of the sects had problems and shortcomings, which were criticized from time to time by YESHUA and the Apostolic Assembly, but never the theology of the Hillel Pharisees).
Besides the general attitude of disobedience, the conflict, trouble and sin that the Adam kind faced was on race from day three of Adam in the Garden of Eden and on forward. It was on racial sins in Noah’s day and racial sins in Israel in the days of the judges and kings. Racial sins were the point in Second Temple days (in that the Jewish leadership allowed evil Amalekites into fellowship).
There is still a problem today over racial sins (in that the House of Yisrael nations have done exactly what the Jews did some 2,000 years ago when they allowed evil Amalekites into their nation and became subservient to them). There is one major difference on this between the Jews of historic times and the modern Christian Israelites in the House of Yisrael nations.
The difference is that the problem is far more serious today than it was 2,000 years ago. Just as the Jews were unable or did not correctly deal with the difficulty back then, the modern House of Yisrael nations have followed suit in not dealing with the problem of race. Jones completely missed the point.
The Church of Jesus Christ, Christian--A Classic Case
The Church of Jesus Christ, Christian, better known as the Aryan Nations in North Idaho, mentioned above and in earlier chapters, offers perhaps the best illustration of all on how confusion persists in Christendom between race and religion. This group is supposedly a Christian Identity Church. But they are heavily into political Nazism and various occult activities, as noted earlier.
To top it off, this sect is fully devoted to Adolf Hitler. The Church salutes Adolf, praises him, parades on his birthday and effectively adores, worships and pays homage to him. The church magazine, “Calling Our Nation,” had his picture on the front cover of issue #12 of 1999, as the man of the millennium. The interesting thing about this adoration and worship is that Adolf’s biographical information is well known to them.
The “Universal Jewish Encyclopedia,” “Encyclopedia Britannica” and various other biographical sources plainly reveal that Adolf was a Jew named Schicklgruber. His great evil proves conclusively that he was an Amalekite Jew. There can be no dispute on this reality. Yet, the Jew hating people at Aryan Nations love, adore and worship the Amalekite Schicklgruber (just like German Christian Nazis of 70 years ago).
There is no doubt but that the Aryan Nations leadership knows the truth about Adolf because a Jewish Defense League (JDL) man on local radio ridiculed both Schicklgruber and the Aryans for their planned march on Adolf’s birthday in 1998 (surely, the Aryans heard his words). Too, this writer wrote them a letter about it and offered to supply documentary proof on Adolf’s origin if they would contact me. They never bothered to contact me.
So here, we have a group of Christian people who excessively and regularly hate and condemn Talmudic Jews, but who simultaneously love and adore a racial Amalekite who was extremely occultic, evil and corrupt. This reality is an illogical and incomprehensible paradox. These Church of Jesus Christ, Christian people simply do not understand the problem.
Like other Christians, they will complain to no end about Talmudic Jews and then worship and adore an evil Amalekite. Obviously, the truth quickly comes out. The Aryan Nations people are just like other Christians. They hate Judaism and not Jews, per se. Since it is Judaism that they hate (and not Jews), why then do they even use the word Jew in their condemnations. Why not be honest and just address Judaism?
Again, the Problem
There is one undeniable proof of this Christian hatred for Judaism and not for Jews (unless those Jews practice Judaism). In any conversation with most Christians about Jews, it is inevitable that they commence a tirade of hate about the Talmud. Christians like to condemn and blast the Talmud and Talmudic Jews, as if they are the problem (because of Jewish attachment to the Talmud).
The truth is that the Talmud was reality ages before John Hyrcanus went down to Edom and forcibly converted the Amalekites to Judaism. The Amalekites didn’t invent or originate the Talmud. The Talmud is a commentary on the Torah from religious Jews who had been exiled to Babylon or who came back to Palestine from Babylon. It contains a multitude of beliefs, ideas and thinking from many diverse positions.
One can find a host of pro and con arguments in it because the speakers/writers involved were free men who were allowed to have absolute freedom to express their wills and positions without fear or restraint (which is not true in modern America and particularly in modern Christianity where thought crimes and political incorrectness can bring enormous hurt upon a person).
Admittedly, some Amalekites surely made contributions to the Talmud after they came into power in Judea under Herod. But these contributions were made in the context of religious freedom. They could say whatever they wanted to say. And many did (just as many Amalekite Christians make contributions to the various Christian Talmuds).
It is a paradox that the Christian haters of the Jewish Talmud themselves do not have religious and speech freedom. They had better watch out what they say. Actually, Christians need to take a look at the Jewish Talmud and see if they can ever begin to grasp what true religious freedom is. The Jewish Talmud is an expression of genuine, religious freedom.
This genuine and real religious freedom characterized Judaism in the first century when YESHUA lived and practiced it as His religion. Perhaps the case can be made that this religious freedom was the feature which made Second Temple Judaism so good. A man could have and could express an opinion which differed from others without fear of castigation and condemnation for being politically incorrect.
The Real Hate
So the biggest Jew haters in America (to include the Christian Identity people) reveal their true colors. They hate the Talmud and Judaism. In every writing or speech focusing on Jews, a reference inevitably is made to Talmudic Jews. Over and over, the Talmud is condemned/criticized. This is really quite a joke because Amalekites are not concerned with the Talmud, the Tanakh or anything else of a Scriptural nature.
The Amalekites (and even those many who pretend to be agnostics and atheists) are truly children of Satan (both physically and spiritually). Whatever religion they have or express is always in the vein of service to Satan. Yet, ignorant Christians condemn Jews generally (including the Amalekites) over the Talmud (which the Amalekites could care less about).
On rare occasions, some Christian Jew haters will mention the Edomites. But even then, their words are expressed in a state of Christian confusion and not with any evidence of real understanding and knowledge (because these Christians are in a state of ignorance and lack real knowledge and understanding). After all, the problem has been with the Amalekites for 2,100 years plus and most Christians are uninformed on this issue.
Yes, this Christian hatred of the Talmud and Judaism is enormous. It actually goes back even earlier to the Greek sun worship of 2,300 years ago when the Greeks were determined to destroy the OT religion which had found a presence and acceptance among the Jews in Second Temple days (from the work of Ezra and others).
More Astounding Christian Confusion and Hypocrisy
As will be broached in subsequent chapters, this writer lived in Northeast Washington and became acquainted with some Holy Rollers in a divided group North of Colville near the Canadian border, who “ostensibly” keep the Sabbath (apparently, they are not overly committed to it, but do give some lip service to the idea of the fourth commandment in the Decalogue).
By and large, this group of Holy Rollers are Christian Identity people and fantastic Jew haters. In almost any conversation, it isn’t long before they spew out this hatred and bitterness toward Jews.
This writer is also acquainted with an elderly man who is not a Holy Roller. But otherwise, he seems to have quite a bit of fellowship with the Jew haters. This elderly man or old gent was commented upon in preceding chapters on pride and vanity. He is a very proud individual and likes to boast and brag about his “Bible” knowledge.
In any case, he doesn’t share this Jew hatred which most of the others exhibit in conversation. One could almost call the old gent a Jew lover because he does say good things about the Jews and avoids the hatred and animosity. He doesn’t necessarily argue and support the Jews publicly too much in his dialogue with the Christian Identity haters. But privately, he has expressed his pro-Jew position to me.
Now comes the kicker. At a first glance, one would have to suppose that this old gent and the Holy Roller Identity people are in worlds apart and that reconciliation between them is impossible. But in actuality, they are virtually in the precise, exact, same frame of mind in terms of the Jews. You see, the problem is not with the Jews in either case. Both parties have a problem with Judaism.
The Christian Identity Jew haters have no complaints with Jews who abandon Judaism and convert to Christianity. In the view of these Jew haters, their hatred ends if and when a Jew converts to Christianity. So all the hype, talk and foaming at the mouth about the evil Jews is really a gross hatred of Judaism.
The old gent involved is in precisely the same profile. While he does not complain and carry on about Jew hatred, he makes it plain that he hates the Talmud and the Jewish religion. So this is quite a paradox. A group of Jew haters are actually in the same ball park with a Jew lover.
Both parties really have no problem with racial or ethnic Jews, per se. Their whole focus is upon the Jewish religion which they both hate passionately. The writer of this study at hand has seen, known and talked to a number of Christian Jew haters and Jew lovers over the years. And this indictment holds true for all of them known to me. They all hate Judaism--not Jews, per se.
More Christian Identity Hatred and Hypocrisy
This Christian (and particularly Christian Identity) hatred and hypocrisy surfaces in all kinds of strange ways--which can completely leave the student of truth dumb frazzled. For instance, one of the favorite Christian Identity tricks arises when they attack the words and instructions of The MOST HIGH and call them Jewish and therefore not applicable to Christians (usually from the OT, but also the NT on occasion).
Yet, by some strange quirk of intelligence and justice, these same Christian Identity adherents will gladly substitute some man-made rules and rituals that are totally foreign in both the OT and NT. For people with brains above the idiot level, they can quickly ascertain that the substituted doctrines and theology have their basis, in fact, with some bad Jews of over 2,000 years ago. They are totally a product of bad Jews.
The best illustration of this stupidity and hypocrisy concerns the matter of the acceptance of the OT--the Masoretic Hebrew text used by the Jews (which seems to have some support from the previously discussed work at Hebrew University on numerical sequencing codes) or the Greek Septuagint text used by the Greek Orthodox Church. This subject has been described in some detail in prior chapters.
Suffice to say, people with some honesty, intelligence and integrity must wake up and have brains enough to understand that the Hebrew OT is not an invention of the Jews. The Jews didn’t originate it or dream it up. It came from The CREATOR, Himself. The only tie it has to the Jews is that YHWH committed His Word, the Hebrew OT, to the Jews for preservation and transmission (Matt 5:18; 23:1-3; Rom 2:17-20; 3:2).
Romans 3:2 is profound and cannot be confused. The ELOHIM committed His Words in Hebrew to the Jews. These Words were not those of the Jews, nor did they belong just to the Jews. The only issue is that The HIGHEST chose the Jews to serve Him. He did not choose the Greek Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church, the Protestant Church, the British people or the modern Christian Identity movement.
He chose the Jews (obviously religious Jews and not Judean Amalekite tares). And the Jews have done t
