Antisemitism – is not some new trend!
It’s an ancient spiritual opposition to God through hatred towards His chosen people – Jews.Literally from the first pages of the Bible we come across the examples of Antisemitism:
Pharaoh (Exodus 1-14)
Balak (Numbers 22)
Amalek
Aman (book of Esther)
Bloody examples of antisemitism can easily be traced throughout the history in most countries and cultures - throughout all the epochs of mankind development.These are the most notorious:
Crusades, initiated outbreaks of violence and massacres of Jews in Europe and Palestine, starting the “tradition” of “Jew bashing”.
Jewish blood Label that originated in Medieval Britain and served as a “successful” massacre tool to deal with unwanted Jews in many countries.
There were mass expulsions of Jews from European countries. They were forced to forfeit all of their property.
Horrors of inquisition. It’s hard to believe, but a very long time ago Antisemitism was in perfect step with the Church!
WWII. Almost complete and unthinkable in its cruelty was the extermination of the Jewish population in Europe during the World War II. Millions of children and adults were burnt in gas chambers of the Nazi camps, executed by shooting and tortured only because they belonged to the Jewish people. These events are known as “Shoa” – or the catastrophe of mankind.And the list goes on…
Today, 80 years later this horror, anti-Semitic attitudes are getting stronger in many educated and humanistic countries. Antisemitism and Nazism take new unexpected forms. And now they influence not only the Jews, but Christians as well.
Why is this happening? Such attitudes are caused and fuelled by certain spirits, fighting against God. Antisemitism is the devil’s weapon.
One of the main reasons the devil fiercely desires to exterminate the Jews is that the Messiah – Yeshua ha Mashiah was supposed to come and came from this nation.
The Second coming of the Messiah, according to the prophesies, hinges on the salvation of the Jewish people.
In the Word of God there are statements of how dangerous it is “to let Antisemitism loose” (Obadiah 1:10-17, Joel 3:2, Romans 11:17-26). This brings curses not only for Antisemites personally and their descendants, but for the whole territory, where people have turned a blind eye to these Godless spirits.
We believe that if we unite our strength in prayer, we will be able to actively stand up to this evil in the world! God doesn’t call us to remain silent, He calls us to acknowledge the facts of Antisemitism, repent and bless the Jewish people, Israel together (Numbers 24:9). This will bring freedom from the curse and release God’s will and blessing upon our land and our nations!
