Good Morning.
I’m Art Wolinsky and I worship with you right here.
Many of you were at the recent Live Not By Lies conference held here and if you were you know that our world is getting ready to be ruled by the Antichrist.
The Jewish people and Israel fit in with this in a big way.
So, given the status of things today, in America and in the world, I thought this would be a good time to talk with you about why hatred for the Jewish people and Israel is so prevalent today and in fact why it exists at all.
And if I can help you to understand that, I believe that it might also strengthen your personal witness to your Jewish friends who do not yet know Jesus, Yeshua, and to all unbelievers.
And I think that along the way I can help you to understand what the abomination of desolation is and it is something that you want to know about.
I myself am a Jewish believer in Jesus, a Christian.
So, Why are some people against the Jews?
We often hear that people are against the Jews because they haven’t been properly educated, so the answer is more education.
If that were the case surely the problem would have been cured long ago at least in some locations.
But that has not occurred.
Antisemitism is found all over the world.
No, the cause is much deeper than lack of education.
My friends, it has to do with the Messiah.
When the Messiah returns certain things are going to happen, bad things for the enemy of our souls, Satan.
He will be finished.
The Book of Revelation talks about this in detail.
Now Yeshua, Jesus, the Messiah, is Jewish.
He has a very strong connection to the Jewish people and they have a role in His return.
Let me tell you something.
If Jesus was not Jewish there would be no Antisemitism or Jew hatred.
If Jesus was Italian we’d be dealing with hatred of Italy and hatred of people descended from Italians both in Italy and in every other country where Italian people and their descendants dwell, instead of Jew hatred because the return of Messiah would be dependent on Italian people.
By the way, I don’t know why I chose to use Italian people in this example.
Maybe it’s because I care for Italian people and people of Italian heritage and knew many of them growing up in New York and then later on in Boston and in Pittsburgh and now in Chapel Hill.
Jesus however is not Italian.
He is Jewish and came from Israel.
Why did God make make the choice to love the Jewish people and to make them His Chosen People and to make Israel His Chosen Nation?
Maybe He’ll give us the details some day.
But the Jewish people and Israel are still His Chosen People and Chosen Nation today.
And by the way, my friends if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua the Messiah, and have a personal relationship with Him that means that God chose you also.
But your response to all this, to what I’m telling you, should be “Can you prove this Art?
Because what you’re saying sounds like utter nonsense to me”.
I believe that I can prove it.
And, if you believe my proof, what does that mean for Jewish people who may be hearing this message today?
Is what I am about to tell you going to drive them toward their Messiah, Yeshua/Jesus or is it going to drive them away?
You see, what I am telling you is absolutely outrageous.
I am telling you that anti-Semitism or Jew hatred is an indirect proof that Jesus is the Messiah, because Jesus, Yeshua, is a Jew and when He returns Satan is done for.
If the Jewish Nation can be annihilated - not one single Jew remaining alive - then the Messiah will not return.
That is what Satan wants of course and he’s been working on it for many centuries!
And as the season of Yeshua’s return draws closer Satan is ramping up his efforts much more aggressively.
Does this make sense to you folks?
In fact I hope you will soon see, this morning, that it is the only explanation for Antisemitism that makes any sense, any sense at all.
At this point I’d like to talk with you about definition of terms.
Technically Anti-semitism means against Semites and Semites are the descendants of Shem, one of Noah’s three sons, and from Shem came not only the Jews but also other descendants of Abraham including Arabs.
Anti-Semitism does not normally mean anti-Arab.
So a better term would probably be anti-Judaism.
But Judaism is the practice of a religion and anti- Semitism describes hostility or hatred of Jewish people whether they practice the religion of Judaism or not.
Hitler, for e.g., didn’t care if a Jew practiced Judaism or not.
To the Nazi’s a person was a Jew if he or she was a physical descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and having one Jewish grandparent was enough to count that person Jewish.
Such a person was to be eliminated, killed.
In fact I’m sure Hitler’s goal was to eliminate or annihilate the entire Jewish race.
And as we shall see there have been others in the past who also wanted to annihilate the Jewish race.
So what shall we call hostility toward the Jews with the desire to annihilate them?
I believe that we can call those who hate the Jews, Jew Haters and we can call the practice Jew Hatred.
And what about those who say they have no problem with the Jews at all, that it’s just Israel they hate?
If the Messiah was Italian, these people would say “We love Italian people.
We just hate the country of Italy and want to annihilate it”.
Now does that make any sense?
Of course not.
Such people are either badly confused and don’t understand what they’re saying or they are charlatans and deceivers.
Israel is a nation not just a land.
Israel is made up of the Jewish people, all of the Jewish people, whether they live in the land of Israel or not.
That’s how God sees it.
If you hate Israel you’re a Jew Hater plain and simple.
Now before we go further, we need to know three things:
FIRST: What is the evidence for Jew Hatred?
Is there such a thing?
Has Jew Hatred always been around?
Is it widespread?
Was it around before there was any significant return of Jews to The Promised Land, even before the modern State of Israel was founded in 1948?
Didn’t there have to be Jew Hatred in order for the Holocaust to have occurred?
Are there people and even governments today that deny that the Holocaust ever occurred?
I’m going to do my best to show you that the answers to all of these questions is yes.
SECOND: The second thing we need to know is the reason for Jew Hatred.
THIRD: And the third thing we need to know is this: is there a cure for Jew Hatred?
I’ve already said that education alone is not the cure.
So, is there a cure?
So, first, what is the evidence for Jew hatred?
I’m going to give you a relatively short answer because I believe that anyone with an open mind can see that Antisemitism or Jew Hatred is real.
We have many examples in the Bible:
We have Pharoah attempting to kill all male Hebrew children at birth.
Exodus 1:15-17
We have the attempt of Haman in the Book of Esther attempting to annihilate all Jews.
We have Antiochus Epiphanes in Daniel 8 and in the Book of 1 Maccabees in the Apocrypha attempting to expunge Judaism. 1 Maccabees is an not a divinely inspired book which is what it is in the Apocrypha and not the Old or New Testament but it is quite useful as history.
You will it in the NRSV Bible.
As a side note, what King Antiochus did led to a revolt led by the Maccabees who restored and cleansed the Jewish Temple and that led to the Festival of Chanukah which Jesus went up to Jerusalem to celebrate in John 10.
In post Biblical times we have the Spanish Inquisition attempting to annihilate all Jewry by either forcing Jews to give up their religion and all Jewish practices or killing those who would not obey this order.
And we have Hitler’s Final Solution in which Hitler tried to annihilate the Jewish race in Europe and had he succeeded I’m sure he would not have stopped until no Jew would be left on planet earth.
Now I certainly haven’t documented for you every major instance of antisemitism in history; there are many many more that could be mentioned.
But rather I’ve selected those instances in which either the annihilation of the Jewish race or the annihilation of the Jewish religion or both was clearly in the mind of the perpetrators and there is a particular reason for this.
We’ve already touched on the reason but we need to talk more about it and we’ll do that now.
To see what the root cause of Jew Hatred is we need to look at a particular Bible verse.
A very foundational Bible verse.
Let me read it to you:
Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.””
The Lord, God, is speaking in this verse.
He is addressing the Serpent and talking about the consequences of something that had just happened in the Garden of Eden involving our first parents, Adam and Eve.
God told Adam that he could eat the fruit of any tree in the Garden except the fruit of The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil.
And God warned Adam that if he ate of that fruit he would die, he would surely die, and he would die that very day.
