There is something going on with this modern day Christian pop culture that is leaving a very bad taste in my mouth, and I am not referring to last night’s dinner.
So-called Christian scholars are trying to tell us that God has given the Jews the Holy Land AND Israel unconditionally, no matter what form of genocide they commit against the Palestine’s on their right and just pathway to inherit Israel as their homeland.
The brainwashing has spread to such an extent and the lower echelons of Christianity are so convinced that this is so that they are effectively saying that fire and brimstone is going to reign down over the US because of the Barak Obama’s administrations failure to further support Israel.
Then they have come out with this baloney about Obama not even being an American citizen thereby making him ineligible to be an American president. How much further is this type of tripe going to go?
FOR LITERALLY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF YEARS SO-CALLED BIBLE SCHOLARS HAVE BEEN TELLING US THAT GOD HAD MADE SOME SORT OF UNRESERVED COVENANT WITH ISRAEL TO RESTORE THE HOLY LAND TO THEM AS THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHT.
THESE SAME SCHOLARS HAVE ALSO SAID THIS IS UNCONDITIONAL COVENANT THAT GOD HAD MADE WITH ISRAEL AND THAT HE WAS COMPELLED TO FULFILL THIS PROMISE WHETHER THEY DESERVED IT OR NOT.
THAT KINGDOM WAS PROMISED TO BE DELIVERED WHEN CHRIST CAME, BUT 2000 YEARS HAS GONE BY, AND ISRAEL STILL HASN’T RECEIVED IT. SO, EITHER, THE COVENANT WAS NOT UNCONDITIONAL, OR THE JEWS DIDN'T REJECT CHRIST, OR SOMEBODY HAS LIED! MY GUESS IS THAT HAS SOMEBODY LIED. BUT WHO?
THE SO-CALLED BIBLE SCHOLARS, OF COURSE!
MEN LIKE DR.JOHN DARBY; DR.C.I. SCOFIELD; DR.CHARLES A. RYRIE; DR.THOMAS ICE; AND A HOST OF OTHERS FOR THE PAST 200 YEARS, BEEN LYING; GRANTED, SOME MAY HAVE BEEN DOING SO INNOCENTLY, SOME OUT OF SHEER IGNORANCE, BUT THERE STILL REMAINS QUITE A FEW OTHERS THAT I AM NOT TOO SURE ABOUT, EITHER DIDN'T READ THEIR BIBLES, OR THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY HAD READ IN THEIR BIBLES.
"KNOW THEREFORE THAT THE LORD THY GOD, HE IS GOD, THE FAITHFUL GOD, WHICH KEEPETH COVENANT AND MERCY WITH THEM THAT LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS"; (DEUTERONOMY 7:9)
PLEASE READ THAT VERSE AGAIN CAREFULLY.
GOD WOULD HAVE KEPT HIS PART OF THE BARGAIN WITH ISRAEL IF ISRAEL HAD KEPT HER PART OF THE BARGAIN. BUT ISRAEL DOESN’T LOVE GOD AND STILL DOESN’T KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.
BUT GOD STILL KEPT HIS PROMISE TO ISRAEL. IN THE MEANTIME GOD HAD SAID HE HAD TO SORT OUT ISRAEL TO FIND OUT WHO SHE REALLY WAS. THAT HAS TAKEN YEARS. NEVERTHELESS, GOD HAS STILL FULLFILLED ALL HIS PROMISES TO THE JEWS AS HE SAID HE WOULD.
THE WORST PART OF ALL THIS IS THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY MORE LIES FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE AND THAT WE HAVE BEEN DECEIVED BY THOSE THAT CALL THEMSELVES BIBLE SCHOLARS --- LIES THEY'RE STILL TELLING US.

An open letter to the newly appointed EU president Herman Van Rompuy:
The founding father of the Treaty of Rome Bilderberger Henri Spaak
Dear Mr. President;
As a provision of the Lisbon Treaty we, the world, waited with eager anticipation as to just who was going to receive the presidency of the EU. Right up until the time that the announcement was made that you had been granted the post the ex British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, ran as the red hot favorite.
As if your goal was global dominance just as soon as you were appointed to the role you came out with a speech advocating a Global Government or a New World Order? Then just recently without any fanfare whatsoever you were effectively handed the keys to the city when you were appointed as the head of the Economic Government of Europe, meaning that because you now control the Euro you rule the EU. You really are now beginning to sound very much like the one my Bible calls the Beast of Revelation?
Whether by accident or divine invention, I know not which, I have noted that the both yourself as the current unelected president of the EU and the founding father of the EU Henri Spaak, (which away back in 1955 began as the Treaty of Rome) both share similarities: both were/are Bilderbergers and both were former Belgium Prime Ministers.
I have also noted that when the EU was originally founded Spaak he came out and made a statement which said:

I have also noted that when the EU was originally founded Spaak he came out and made a statement which said:
"We do not want another committee, we have too many already. What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all the people and to lift us up out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and whether he is of God or devil, we will receive him.”
But the most curious anomaly of all is that as the founding father of what become the final world empire of the EU Spaak’s original conception of the Treaty of Rome is quite clearly mentioned in my Bible. I know this is so because at the end of the verse in question the Bible describes this horn as having a look that was (hyphenated: past tense) more stout than his fellows – meaning that he was fat or overweight is certainly not a description of physical appearance that I would attribute to you in any shape or form whatsoever but one that can be and is attributed to Henri Spaak.
Daniel Chapter 7, Verse 19 and 20:

Daniel Chapter 7, Verse 19 and 20:
19. Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
20. And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
Then as surely as night follows day further down the page we are able to see the result of the initial concept of the Treaty of Rome that becomes the full blown modern day EU of which you now hold the reigns of power over. In the following verses we are also able to see another horn, a more powerful horn, a horn the Bible describes as being the Antichrist which could only describe you as being the chosen one that is to rule the EU.
Daniel Chapter 7, Verse 24 and 25:
24. And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. (That’s Antichrist when it speaks of the end times.)
25. And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
There is a direct tie in between those two verses and Revelation Chapter 13 Verse 1
Revelation Chapter 13, Verse 1:

Revelation Chapter 13, Verse 1:
1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
If you are the Beast then you would have to have both ten horns and ten crowns, as you quite clearly have; with your ten horns being the ten nations of the Euro Mediterranean Union and your ten crowns being the ten nations of the European Council of Ministers. Need I say too much more?Henri Spaak should now be turning over in his grave when he said: Send us such a man, and whether he is of God or devil, we will receive him.” He did not get a man from God but instead they have received a man from Satan and that man is you. Others may be fooled by your unique mild mannered looks and quietness but I for one am certainly not for I surely know who you are as certainly as the sun is going to sink over the horizon tonight.

The Day of Judgement
Oskar Ernst Bernhardt
PLEASE NOTE: the author of this article Abd-ru-shin (civil name Oskar Ernst Bernhardt) passed away in 1841.
In the attached article he speaks of the Day of Judgment or the purification of the earth’s creation at the coming of the Lord.
He mentions the resurrection of the dead as being the constant theme of the end time’s Bible prophecy. There is nothing whatsoever mentioned relative to a Rapture of the Church which only goes to prove without any doubt in my mind whatsoever the idea or concept of a Rapture of the Church is nothing more than a recently invented add on to the scriptures that has been satanically inspired by False Prophets to lead the unsuspecting into Hell fires.
THE DAY of Judgment! Every prophecy that is connected with this proclaims the resurrection of all the dead for the Final Judgement! But this mankind has again introduced an error into the concept of the expression; for it is not meant to denote: Resurrection of all the dead, but resurrection of all that is dead! That is: The animating of all that is without movement in Creation, so that it may become alive for the Divine Judgment, either to be strengthened in its activity or annihilated!
Today nothing remains motionless; for the Living Power that now flows with greater intensity through all Creation urges, presses and forces everything into motion. Thereby it grows stronger, including that which has hitherto been inactive or dormant. It is awakened, strengthened, and thus must become active; in this awakening activity it is, so to speak, dragged before the Light, even if it wished to hide. It can also be said that it comes to the Light of itself and must reveal itself; it can no longer remain dormant, wherever it may be. As the popular saying is: “It comes to light!”
Everything becomes life and activity in this entire Creation through the new penetration of the Light! The Light thereby exerts a powerful attraction . . . whether that which rests or perhaps even hides in this Creation wishes it or not; and finally it will also come into contact with this Light, it cannot escape It, even if it had the wings of the morning no place in the entire Creation can grant it protection from the Light. There is nothing which will not be lit up.
But in the movement of being attracted, anything that cannot endure the radiation, thus anything that is not already voluntarily striving towards this Light, must be shattered and burnt up by the Light. What is attuned to the Light, however, will blossom and grow strong in the purity of its volition!
So is it also with all the qualities of the souls of these earthmen. What has hitherto appeared to be dead, what has slumbered in them, often unknown to men themselves, will awaken and become strong under the Power, will develop into thought and deed, so that according to its nature it will in manifesting judge itself by the Light! Reflect, whatever is slumbering in you will come to life! Therein lays the resurrection of all that is dead! The Living Judgment! The Day of Judgment!
Then you must deal with all that is within you, must purify yourselves, or you will perish with the evil if it is able to become too powerful in you. It will then hold you fast, break over your head with foaming and bubbling, to sweep you down with it into the abyss of disintegration; for it can no longer exist in the radiance of Divine Power! ––
To you I have now given the Word showing the way that, in the awakening of this Creation, leads you unerringly to the Luminous Heights, the way that will not let you fall, whatever happens and tries to flare up within you! If you have turned your gaze to the Light in loyal conviction, if you have rightly grasped my Word and absorbed it in your souls, then you will calmly ascend out of the chaos, cleansed and purified, free from everything that might once have hindered you from entering Paradise.
Watch and pray, therefore, that you do not let your clear outlook be dimmed by vanity and conceit, the most dangerous snares for these earthmen! Beware! As you have now prepared the soil within you, so will it happen to you during the purification of Creation!

The Icelandic Volcano Eruptions and Herman Van Rompuy
The International Air Transport Association has sharply criticized European governments for their lack of leadership in handling airspace restrictions in light of the Icelandic volcano eruption. The association has urged a rethink of the decision making process.
They were quoted as saying we are far enough into this crisis (and that’s what it is a crisis – whether man made or a natural occurrence I know not) to express our dissatisfaction on how the governments have handled the situation with a no risk assessment, no consultation, no coordination, and no leadership being shown relative to the situation.
The crisis is costing airlines at least $200 million per day in lost revenues and the European economy is suffering billions of dollars in lost business.
In the face if such dire consequences it is incredible that Europe’s transport ministers have taken a full five days to organize a teleconference. IATA criticized Europe’s unique methodology of closing airspace based on theoretical modeling of the ash cloud.
This means that the governments have not taken their responsibilities seriously enough to make clear decisions based on facts. Instead, it has been the air navigation service providers who had announced that they would not provide the service. And these decisions have been taken without adequately consulting the airlines.
This has been a test for the chosen one; the newly appointed president of Economic Government of Europe, Herman Van Rompuy and it seems to be a test that he has failed miserably -- or has failed deliberately?
It does seem to be very curious that the European politicians, Herman Van Rompuy in particular, have done nothing to render the circumstance of Icelandic Volcanic eruptions impotent so that they don’t affect European Airspace?
This inaction on the part of Van Rompuy suggests the fulfillment of Bible prophecy whereby we are told that the Antichrist achieves certain objectives and helping mankind is not one of them.
Revelation Chapter 6
From the King James Version
1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The Jews Are NO longer God’s Chosen People
Just as it is a lie of Satan there will be a Rapture of the Church, and just as it is a lie of Satan that the Antichrist will also be Jewish because the Lord Jesus Christ was Jewish, it is also a another lie of Satan to believe that the Jews Are Gods chosen people and are entitled to illegally occupy the Holy Land as their God given right.
By Harry Bethell
NOTICE: This writer does not advocate illegal discrimination or racism or violation of civil rights of Jews or any other group. This article is NOT anti-Semitic. Christians should love the Jews and pray for them.
It is a lie from Satan that Jews are God's chosen people and many pastors embrace and teach Satan's lie that Christians should support the State of Israel (Zionism). Also, another lie from Satan is the teaching that God blesses those who bless Israel and He curses those who curse them, that has not been true for more than 1900 years.
Jews claim to be God's chosen people, but they were His chosen people. Only the elect of the Jews (which is an extremely small minority) will be saved.
Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate, pronounced judgment on the Jews for rejecting Him:
The Jews generally rejected Jesus, the true Messiah, therefore Jesus cursed the fig tree, which represents Israel, saying, "May you never bear fruit again!" (Mat. 21:18).
When the Jewish chief priests and elders questioned Jesus' authority He said to them, "I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people [Gentiles] who will produce its fruit" (Mat. 21:43).
When Jesus told a parable to the Jewish chief priests, scribes, and elders (Lk. 20:19), they knew He was talking about them when He said that the vine-growers, to whom the owner had sent his son, killed his son. Then in the parable Jesus asked what will the owner of the vineyard do to those who killed his son, to which He said, "He will come and destroy these vine-growers [Jews] and will give the vineyard to others [Gentiles]."
After hearing this and knowing that Jesus was talking about them, those Jews "tried to lay hands on Him that very hour...and they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so as to deliver Him up to the rule and the authority of the governor" (Lk. 20:9-20).
A loving, longsuffering and merciful God sent Jesus to "His own [the Jews], and His own received Him not" (John 1:11). The reason that the Jewish prophet John (the Baptizer) came baptizing with water was to reveal Jesus to Israel (John 1:31). And Jesus said that He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel (Mat. 15:24).
Near the end of Jesus' earthly ministry Jesus said, 'O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. (Mat. 23:37-38).
Paul quoted Isaiah in his epistle to the Christians in Rome, "Concerning Israel he [Isaiah] says, 'All day long I [God] have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people [the Jews]'" (Rom. 10:21).
After the apostle Paul had preached the Gospel to Jews in cities throughout Asia and was, for the most part, rejected by them, he turned to the Gentiles and ministered to them.
Near the end of Paul's ministry, when he was in Rome under house arrest, he spoke to a large gathering of Jews. Paul explained and declared to them the kingdom of God and tried to convince them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
The great apostle concluded his sermon by saying, "The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your [Jewish] forefathers when He said through Isaiah the prophet: 'Go to this people and say, 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn and I would heal [save] them.' Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen" (Acts 28:17-28).
When the Jews cried out over and over to crucify Jesus, and Pilate wanted to release Him, all the Jews said, "Let His blood be on us and on our children!" (Mat. 27:25).
Jesus prophesied God's destruction of Jerusalem that would take place in 70 A.D. at the hands of the Roman general Titus (Mat. 24:1-2; Lk. 19:41-44). According to Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, more than 1,000,000 Jews died when Jerusalem was laid siege to and destroyed as Jesus had prophesied 40 years earlier.
That horrific suffering was second only to the suffering of the twentieth century Holocaust under Hitler. This was because of the general rejection of Christ by the Jews, and until this day they still reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Savior and the only way to heaven.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man [including Jews] cometh unto the Father, but by Me" (Jn. 14:6). There are very few Jews today who will repent of their sins and be born again and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and only way to God to Father.
In 614 A.D. the Persians captured Jerusalem and massacred the inhabitants. The so-called "Christian" Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099. Several times since then Jerusalem has fallen into the hands of Moslems and "Christians." There is no reason to believe that the Crusaders were truly born-again Christians, anymore than the vast majority of Roman Catholics.
The Jews have continued to reject Christ throughout the centuries and the last great slaughter of Jews was during the Holocaust. It is claimed that six million Jews were killed in a few short years under the hand of Hitler (the number is probably exaggerated).

What should be the attitude of Christians toward Christ-rejecting Jews?
Christians should love the Jews just as we should love the heathen in Africa. Paul wrote that "all Israel shall be saved" (Rom. 11:26), but the apostle also wrote that "though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant shall be saved" (Rom. 9:27).
All true Israel is only a remnant. During the Great Tribulation 144,000 Jews will be saved, but this is only a small remnant compared to the millions of Jews living today. The Christ-rejecting Jews are no different than anyone else who has not repented of their sins and been born again. Pray for the Jews, love them, ask God to have mercy on them, and share the true Gospel with those who will listen.

NOTICE: This writer does not advocate illegal discrimination or racism or violation of civil rights of Jews or any other group. This article is NOT anti-Semitic. Christians should love the Jews and pray for them.
It is a lie from Satan that Jews are God's chosen people and many pastors embrace and teach Satan's lie that Christians should support the State of Israel (Zionism). Also, another lie from Satan is the teaching that God blesses those who bless Israel and He curses those who curse them, that has not been true for more than 1900 years.
Jews claim to be God's chosen people, but they were His chosen people. Only the elect of the Jews (which is an extremely small minority) will be saved.
Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate, pronounced judgment on the Jews for rejecting Him:
The Jews generally rejected Jesus, the true Messiah, therefore Jesus cursed the fig tree, which represents Israel, saying, "May you never bear fruit again!" (Mat. 21:18).
When the Jewish chief priests and elders questioned Jesus' authority He said to them, "I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people [Gentiles] who will produce its fruit" (Mat. 21:43).
When Jesus told a parable to the Jewish chief priests, scribes, and elders (Lk. 20:19), they knew He was talking about them when He said that the vine-growers, to whom the owner had sent his son, killed his son. Then in the parable Jesus asked what will the owner of the vineyard do to those who killed his son, to which He said, "He will come and destroy these vine-growers [Jews] and will give the vineyard to others [Gentiles]."
After hearing this and knowing that Jesus was talking about them, those Jews "tried to lay hands on Him that very hour...and they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so as to deliver Him up to the rule and the authority of the governor" (Lk. 20:9-20).
A loving, longsuffering and merciful God sent Jesus to "His own [the Jews], and His own received Him not" (John 1:11). The reason that the Jewish prophet John (the Baptizer) came baptizing with water was to reveal Jesus to Israel (John 1:31). And Jesus said that He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel (Mat. 15:24).
Near the end of Jesus' earthly ministry Jesus said, 'O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. (Mat. 23:37-38).
Paul quoted Isaiah in his epistle to the Christians in Rome, "Concerning Israel he [Isaiah] says, 'All day long I [God] have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people [the Jews]'" (Rom. 10:21).
After the apostle Paul had preached the Gospel to Jews in cities throughout Asia and was, for the most part, rejected by them, he turned to the Gentiles and ministered to them.
Near the end of Paul's ministry, when he was in Rome under house arrest, he spoke to a large gathering of Jews. Paul explained and declared to them the kingdom of God and tried to convince them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
The great apostle concluded his sermon by saying, "The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your [Jewish] forefathers when He said through Isaiah the prophet: 'Go to this people and say, 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn and I would heal [save] them.' Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen" (Acts 28:17-28).
When the Jews cried out over and over to crucify Jesus, and Pilate wanted to release Him, all the Jews said, "Let His blood be on us and on our children!" (Mat. 27:25).
Jesus prophesied God's destruction of Jerusalem that would take place in 70 A.D. at the hands of the Roman general Titus (Mat. 24:1-2; Lk. 19:41-44). According to Josephus, the first-century Jewish historian, more than 1,000,000 Jews died when Jerusalem was laid siege to and destroyed as Jesus had prophesied 40 years earlier.
That horrific suffering was second only to the suffering of the twentieth century Holocaust under Hitler. This was because of the general rejection of Christ by the Jews, and until this day they still reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Savior and the only way to heaven.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man [including Jews] cometh unto the Father, but by Me" (Jn. 14:6). There are very few Jews today who will repent of their sins and be born again and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and only way to God to Father.
In 614 A.D. the Persians captured Jerusalem and massacred the inhabitants. The so-called "Christian" Crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099. Several times since then Jerusalem has fallen into the hands of Moslems and "Christians." There is no reason to believe that the Crusaders were truly born-again Christians, anymore than the vast majority of Roman Catholics.
The Jews have continued to reject Christ throughout the centuries and the last great slaughter of Jews was during the Holocaust. It is claimed that six million Jews were killed in a few short years under the hand of Hitler (the number is probably exaggerated). (Also killed were Christ-rejecting Gypsies, homosexuals, and a few others.) All of this mass-killing took place as a sovereign and just God looked on.
Paul in Romans 9:27 referred to Isaiah when he wrote, "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant shall be saved."
The apostle Paul (a born-again Jew) said that the minds of the Jews have been made dull and to this day a "veil" covers their hearts when the Old Covenant is read, and only in Christ is it taken away (2 Cor. 3:14-16).
Paul wrote concerning the Jews, "You who brag about the Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law?
As it is written: 'God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you'" (Rom. 2:23-24).
Justin Martyr, in 116 A.D. wrote, "The Jews were behind all the persecutions of the Christians. They wandered through the country everywhere hating and undermining the Christian faith."
