The majority of people world-wide hate the Judahites (“Jews”). The reasons given for such hatred vary from person to person. Jew haters assume that their attitudes are self-generated.  But the real reason for their hatred is found in the Old Testament, specifically in Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26. Throughout the Old Testament we find God warning the 12 tribes of Israel, which included the three tribes that came to be called “Jews,” about the consequences of disobeying Him. His prophets spoke and wrote extensively about those consequences. But to no avail. As Bible students know, the Israelites disobeyed Him and paid a terrible price for doing so. Over time He orchestrated first the defeat, destruction and enslavement of the 10 northern tribes at the hands of the Assyrians. The Judahites failed to learn from the mistakes of their brethren. More than a century later God sent the Babylonians who did the same thing to them. Later He scattered all 12 tribes throughout the world just as He had prophesied He would do if they did not obey Him. As the world’s so-called “Christian nations” will soon learn, history does indeed repeat itself.

The reason the Lord poured out His wrath on His Chosen People was, and still is, SIN–the breaking of His Law (1 Jn. 3:3,4). As the series titled Who and Where Is Israel Today revealed, He will soon bring about the defeat, destruction and enslavement of ancient Israel’s modern descendants–specifically the United States, Britain and the Middle Eastern nation known as Israel.

Contrary to common reasoning, the world’s peoples do not hate the Jews for the reasons given in the previous posting. The actual reason for their hatred involves the work of Almighty God. Just as He turned the Assyrians against the ten northern tribes and the Babylonians against the three southern tribes, He has turned much of the world against their biological descendants who were identified in the previous paragraph. Other, self-proclaimed Christian nations will also suffer at His hands in the near future because of their rebellion against His Word. However, none will suffer as will the people of America, Britain and Israel who, after having received tremendous blessing from Them, rebelled against Them. As the Lord said in Proverbs 26:2, there is no curse without a cause. Today this Truth is known as the law of cause and effect. The Lord has led the world to hate modern Israel and will send them against His chosen people for the same reason He sent the Assyrians and Babylonians against their ancient ancestors–SIN–the transgression of His Law (Genesis to Revelation) which is summarized in the Ten Commandments.

Jesus of Nazareth, speaking under the power of the Holy Spirit, said that in order to spend eternity with Him and His Father, “Man must live by EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD” (Mat. 4:4). God, speaking through His prophets, apostles, Jesus of Nazareth and His ministers today, has made His Law available to the world. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear believe and obey it. Unfortunately, as Jesus warned in Matthew 7:13,14, only a few choose to do so. Many are called (to do so) but few are chosen (for having done so)–Matthew 20:16. Due to rebellion against Him the Lord is right now stirring up the world’s masses to come against His people. The result will be World War III, also known as the Great Tribulation. The end result of that three-year-long time of world-wide terror is written in the pages of His Holy Bible. L.J.
