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
