Anti-Semitism: Ancient Roots
By J. James Estrada (08/07/06)
Bill Bennett’s Morning in America radio program had a caller ask on August 7th, “Besides the fact that the Jews crucified Christ, why are they as a people so hated around the world?” This is an ignorant question from a theological point of view and a dumb question from someone who supposedly is paying attention. Bill and crew handled the question from the latter perspective: Israel is the lone prospering nation in the Middle East; anti-Semitism has its roots in Shakespearean England (?!). The answer is Jesus came to earth, through the Jewish people, and came to die (no one took his life, he willingly laid it down) to bring salvation and rescue mankind from the grip of Satan. That’s why Jews and Israel are hated.
My brother Rick Estrada sent an e-mail to his network of churches last week on this very topic. I’d like to relay that message here, called, Why Is There Anti-Semitism?
"Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel."
1 Chronicles 21:1
Dear Friend,
Why is there anti-semitism ? Because the old ancient foe is still
inciting people today against Israel and God's beloved Jewish people.
The above passage shows how Satan caused David to stumble in his walk
with God. But more important we see in the passage the nature of Satan and
his hatred for Israel, and how through his demonic legions will supernaturally
incite people to hate the Jews.
He has demons who are specifically assigned to Nations, to certain demonic religions, to certain susceptible individuals thoughout the world to incite hatred for the Jew and the state of Israel.
Those who hate the Jew in this present world have been raped by demonic forces and have become puppets of the Devil.
This hatred is not normal, it is supernatural. It is inspired by a human bodies
inhabited by demons.
WHY DOES SATAN HATE THE JEWS SPECIFICALLY ?
WHY DOES HE HATE ISRAEL SO MUCH ?
"Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"
"Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied"
Matthew 27:11
"Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
Matthew 27:37
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
Hebrews 13:8
SATAN HATES THE JEWS, BECAUSE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD
IS JEWISH. SATAN HATES JESUS CHRIST, HIS PEOPLE, AND HIS COUNTRY
SATAN INCITES ANTI-SEMITISM BECAUSE HE IS AT WAR WITH JESUS CHRIST. SATAN HAS AN ARMY OF DEMONS WHO ARE INSPIRING THIS WARFARE ON EARTH.
"Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
Ephesians 6:11-12
WHAT WAS ONE OF HIS "SCHEMES" ?
To possess a man by the name of Hitler, and through him kill 6 million Jews.
What was his scheme in this ? To declare Hitler a "Christian", and say that
it was done in the name of Jesus Christ or Christianity.
This was a wicked diabolical scheme conceived by the ancient foe.
Satan, a masterful genius of evil plots, plotting daily to deceive humanity.
He executes his intrigue on the earth to charm with lies, deception and trickery to blind humanity from the loving truth of the Savior. A serpent of perversion he is. He seeks to pervert God's message and the truth concerning Christ.
WE ARE DEALING WITH A DERANGED PSYCHOTIC GENIUS,
A MASTER OF DECEPTION, IN WHOM IS MURDERER
"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
John 8:44
WHY SUCH HATRED FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND THE STATE OF ISRAEL?
BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTIFUL PLANS GOD HAS FOR HIS COVENANT PEOPLE WRITTEN ABOUT IN ROMANS CHAPTER 11
" And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob."
Romans 11:26
"Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you."
Romans 11:30-31
IS SATAN CURRENTLY IN OUR GENERATION DECEIVING AND INCITING
ENTIRE NATIONS ON THE EARTH?
"He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time."
Revelation 20:3
WHY IS ISRAEL AND THE CITY OF JERUSALEM CONSTANTLY THE VICTIM OF TERRORISTS, AND WHY ARE THE SURROUNDING NATIONS PLOTTING WAR AGAINST ISRAEL ?
For the answer to this question you must read the end time biblical
prophecy's found in Ezekial 38 and 39. also Zechariah 14.
WHY DO CHRISTIANS SOMETIMES FALL PREY ?
Why was Mel Gibson uttering anti-semitic remarks while under the
influence ?
Friend, if you have had an impact for the kingdom of God;
or if you are disciple who has done damage to kingdom of darkness;
or if you are destined to have great impact for the Kingdom of God;
You will become a priority target of demonic forces, and they will
seek to exploit your weaknesses.
The Devil has a plot against you. He will wait for an opportuntity to capitalize on an indescetion. He has a scheme and a trap set for the diciples of Jesus Christ. His goal is to destroy you or bring shame and disgrace upon you. He wants to make a fool of you and make a public mockery of Christianity.
The Devil even entered Peter in a moment of weakness, and spoke through
him (Matthew 16:23).
King David was incited by Satan in a moment of weakness
(1 Chronicles 21:1)
"The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus."
John 13:2
IN THIS WAR
HOW DO WE STAY FREE OF DEMONIC INFLUENCES ?
"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings."
1 Peter 5:8-9
DID SATAN COME NEAR TO JESUS ?
"As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him."
John 13:27
WHO WILL WIN THIS WAR?
THE MESSIAH OF THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES JESUS CHRIST?
OR WILL SATAN AND ALL OF HIS EVIL FORCES?
"The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you."
Romans 16:20
"And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross."
Colossians 2:15
ANTI-SEMITISM IS THE DEVIL'S WORK
"The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work."
1 JOHN 3:8
WHAT IS THE FACT ABOUT SATAN'S FUTURE ?
THE ANCIENT FOE, THE ANCIENT SERPENT OR THE DEVIL
THE MASTER OF EVIL AND DECEPTION
WHAT IS HIS FUTURE?
"And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
Revelation 20:10
ANTI-SEMITISM IS A DEMONIC SCHEME & PLOT
"in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes."
2 Corinthians 2:11
HAVE YOU PERSONALLY BEEN RESCUED FROM THE DEVIL'S DOMINION
"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you] to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
Colossians 1:10-14
Dear Friend,
Pray this prayer: Lord Jesus I love you. Come into my heart, fill me
with the fire of your Holy Spirit. Fill my heart with love especialy for your
Jewish people. Give me a heart for Israel. Let me to have an impact for your
kingdom. Cause me to be a blessing, endow me with your presence. Reveal
yourself to me through your Word. Protect me from the enemy, lead and guide me. Let your grace prevail upon me. Cause me to crush satan under my foot. Let me bear much fruit for the Fathers glory. Amen.
"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile."
Romans 1:16
"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter."He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
Revelation 19:11-16
