Background
The
illegitimate High priest Ciaiphas was a political appointee by
Rome. He represented Rome, not the
Jews. Herod, as well as the High Priest
felt threatened by this “King of the Jews” and entered into a political
plot to kill Jesus Roman style; by crucifixion.
Only a handful of Jews were involved in the plot. They certainly did not represent the Million
Jews living in Israel and Egypt. Nine
out of ten Jews lived outside the city of Jerusalem. The Guards were Roman, not Jewish.
It was “US”, the Gentiles that Crucified Jesus; but, the blame fell to the Jews.
Jesus prayed for God to forgive those that
had crucified Him, and God did,[1] but WE didn’t.
Anti-Semitism started when the
early church fathers labeled the Jews as Christ Killers, children of the Devil, demonic,
blood thirsty pagans, and plague carriers.
Bishop John Chrysostom in AD 345 wrote
this statement:
The Jews are the most worthless of all
men. They are lecherous, greedy and
rapacious. They are perfidious murders
of Christ. They worship the devil; their
religion is a sickness. The Jews are the
odious assassins of Christ, and for killing God there is no expiation possible,
no indulgence or pardon. Christians may
never cease vengeance, and the Jews must live in servitude forever. God always hated the Jews. It is incumbent upon all Christians to hate
the Jews.
Sometime around 1118, a
French knight named Hugues de Payens founded a military order devoted to protecting
pilgrims while they were visiting the Holy Land. He calling them “The Poor Knights of the Temple of King
Solomon” and later were simply
known as “The
Knights Templar”. In 1129 the
knights received the formal endorsement of the Catholic Church as over flowing huge donations
and new Templar recruits poured in from all across Europe. These fierce warriors developed a network of
banks and wielding enormous financial clout.
These Crusaders became a group of robbers, thieves and
rapist whose sins were “Pre-forgiven” by the Pope plus cancelled any
debts they owed to the Jews. Their goal
was to take control of Jerusalem and the Muslims as well as punish the “Christ Killer
Jews” on the road to and from Jerusalem.
Blood
Libel is the BIG
LIE,
a medieval lie against the Jews. Stories
were fabricated that the Jews kidnapped Christian children, ritually killed
them and used their blood in the making of unleavened bread for Passover as
well as for other religious purposes. They
drank their blood; they were blood suckers.
They required their children to cause harm to others; to kill non-Jewish
children and take their goods. This creating even more hate. Christians were
ignorantly caught up in this propaganda and Anti-Semitism was born; HATE and division; Hitler
used it as well as the Ku Klux Klan.
The Roman Catholic Church cut loose the Spanish Inquisition. Jewish estates were confiscated by the Church. People were whipped and tortured on the rack
till they confessed their sin of converting to Judaism.
Jew Hunters are
used in God’s plan today to aid in the return of the Jews to the nation of
Israel. First, He will fish for them and
pull them in by love, later
He will drive them in with fear.[2] Today, although Anti-Semitism still exists, many Gentiles are being drawn to
the Jews and seek to help them, knowing that down the road it will help
themselves.[3]
The USA as a “Nation” has certainly
supported Israel;
Pray that it continues.
It’s in the Book
[1] Luke 2:34 - Father,
forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing -- Zechariah 8 23 – Ten
men will grab one Jew and ask to go with them because they are blessed of God
[2] 2 Kings 19:28 – God will
put a hook in them and cause them to return to Israel
[3] Zechariah 8 23 – Ten men
will grab one Jew and ask to go with them because they are blessed of God
