A SIN COMMON TO MEN AND NATIONS

A SIN COMMON TO MEN AND NATIONS
Think about what these Bible people/nations had in common.
Moab
Ammon
Ishmael
Edom
Midian

Common Ancestry
They were all related to Abraham's blood line, through either Lot (his nephew), Hagar (his Egyptian concubine), or Keturah (his wife/concubine after Sarah's death).

These people/nations, along with other sons and descendants of Abraham have been leading enemies and persecutors of the"Jewish" people, from their origin (Ek. 35:5).

Ultimate Origin
The sin of anti-Semitism is devil spawned, since Satan has hated the chosen seed/nation from the beginning (Ge. 3:15). Satan has infected people from all racial, ethnic and family backgrounds with an unexplained enmity for the "Jews."

Ancient Hatred
There is an ancient hatred for Israel that has the semblance of a family feud. The various relatives of Abraham have coveted the Divine inheritance bequeathed to Jesus and handed down through David, Judah, Jacob (Israel), Isaac, and Abraham, from God.

Hatred Without Boarders
Satan stirs up anti-Semitism in families, communities, nations. Of course, the nations of the world have their own reasons to hate the Jews, but they are all so baseless. This hatred is deeper than natural hatred.

Anti-Semitism is not only found in Islam, it is promoted as a tenet of the Christian faith, by some people who call themselves Christians.

Ancient Promise
Genesis 12:1-3
(1) Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
(2) And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
(3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

It would be a good idea to allow God to check your view concerning the Jews, since Israel has a special realtionship and promised future with God. Those who bless Israel will be blessed of God and those who reject, despise Israel will be cursed by God.
