ANTISEMITISM IS DEMONIC

ANTISEMITISM IS DEMONIC
Antisemitism is amazing. Most hatred actually comes about because of the inherent characteristics of that which is hated, or because the one who hates actually is repulsed by the hated one. In antisemitism, the hatred is actually the result of Satanic influence. Yes, there are some Jews that have characteristics or habits or culture or history which is repugnant to some people. But most of the hatred is a "family thing." In other words, most people hate Jews because their own family or their community hates Jews. Jews are the most hated group in the world, but they are far from being the most hateful group in the world. The incredible smallness of their numbers disqualify them from being the most hateful. There are not enough Jews to actually warrant the hatred they receive. Though there are Jews who have done despicable things, they have not done anything more abominable than any other group. (By the way, it was not just the Jews who crucified Christ. In fact, Christ was crucified because of all of us).

HYPER HATRED

NO, the Jews are hated beyond reasonable proportion. They are hated because families have taught hatred for the Jew. They are hated because religions have taught hatred for the Jew. They are hated because ethnic and racial prejudices have taught hatred for the Jew. I have known people who gave their reason for hating Jews, but when the "reason" was examined, it was not equitable.

SPIRITUAL HATRED

Hatred for the Jews is a spiritual hatred that comes directly from Satan. This is because the Jews are central in God's plan to rule over the world. It always has been and it still is. Most people do not even know this fact. They hate the Jews because they think that they have some insight into Jewish repulsion, when in fact they have been maneuvered by Satan to actually hate the tools and channels through which God redeems people.

GOD HATRED

The importance of Israel, the Jews, the Jew is found throughout the Old Testament and then is reiterated in the New Testament. Jesus came as a Jew, to fulfill the sacrificial plan of God. God is not finished with Israel. Christ will establish His earthly Kingdom, with headquarters in Jerusalem and He will give the Jews a special place of service. God made promises to Israel that are not transferable. God will set up His eternal Kingdom with a New Heaven, a New Earth and a New Jerusalem.

RACIAL HATRED

Entire cultures, regions, religions hate the Jews, not realizing that their hatred for the Jews becomes a wall of separation between themselves and God. A wall that can not be removed until hatred for the Jew is removed.

UNDESERVED HATRED

One other thing to notice here. The hatred is so great, that no amount of reason changes the hatred . It takes the grace of God to overcome this sin of the spirit. Let's face it; even if the Jew was as inherently evil and obnoxious as some people say, then it is still a small matter, because God commands, and then He enables us to love even our enemies. The hatred for the Jew is not deserved, but it holds an antisemitic person in bondage until that person accepts the Lordship of Christ, repents of his hatred, receives the grace of God and lives under the authority of the Bible.

It is socially acceptable to be antisemitic, but it is spiritual suicide.
