It isn't unusual for Bible-teaching Christians to be accused of anti Semitism while
Jehovah's very own criticisms, and the prophets' writings too, contain far more. For
example: the book of Isaiah opens with this:
• Isa 1:1-3 . . The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah
and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of
Judah. Hear O heavens! and give ear O earth! for Yhvh has spoken. Children I have
raised and exalted, yet they have rebelled against Me. An ox knows his owner and a
donkey his master's crib; but Israel does not know, My people do not think about it.
Oxen and burros are well known for their below-average IQ; but in His indictment,
Jehovah complained that those two species of barnyard beasts of burden have
more brains than His own people when it comes to appreciating His providence; and
Jehovah's statement: "they have rebelled against me" mirrors the age-old
colloquialism of biting the hand that feeds you.
There are so many anti-Semitic comments and remarks throughout the book of
Isaiah that sometimes it's actually difficult to believe it wasn't penned by a
Palestinian instead of a patriot; and that's only Isaiah, some of the other prophets
are just as harsh.
NOTE: More than fifty percent of the Jews living in the State of Israel right now
today are hiloni (secular). In my estimation, that's easily enough insubordinate
Jews all in one place for God to justify bringing down the whole country; and then if
you combine those with the number of insubordinate Jews all 'round the globe,
including the USA; it's not difficult to appreciate just how insecure Israel's future
really is.
A co-worker once informed me that his Jewish wife was seriously considering
migrating to Israel to help with its reconstruction. I advised him to talk her out of it
because without Messiah on the throne, that place is not safe. Plus, the Jews' God
has an era scheduled for them called the time of Jacob's trouble when that land and
its people will experience woes far more severe than any before. In fact without
Messiah's intervention, and were not that time kept brief, not one single Jew in
Israel would survive; it's going to be that bad.
