STAGESETTING FOR TRIBULATION ANTISEMITISM
“JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The Israeli army has released a photograph of a toddler dressed as a suicide bomber that it says was discovered in a Palestinian militant’s house in the West Bank city of Hebron….Ordinary Palestinians said if the photograph were genuine it was likely the child had been dressed up for fun and did not mean Palestinians were about to use children in suicide bombings – something they have never done. Children have been seen dressed up as suicide bombers at school ceremonies and rallies supporting militants spearheading a 21-month-old uprising against Israeli occupation.” (June 28, 2002)

THE MISTAKES OF MANY CHRISTIANS CONCERNING JEWS STATED AND CORRECTED (John Wilkinson, from)
“Prejudice is blinding. We readily assent to this in the case of the Jew. The Jew has been, and to a large extent is still, prejudiced against Christ and Christianity, and that prejudice blinds. Many Christians are still prejudiced against the Jews and are to the same extent blinded. Hence, in the case of the Jew, the Scriptures which relate to the Messiahship of Jesus are misinterpreted under the blindness of prejudice; and in the case of the Christian, the Scriptures which relate to the Jew are misinterpreted under the same blind influence. It is a mistake to suppose that NATIONAL REJECTION, which is but TEMPORARY, and which affects necessarily only TEMPORAL INTERESTS, has imperiled individual salvation…[see Romans 11:1, 10:12-15, 1:16]. Then if national rejection of the Jew has not imperiled his individual salvation, it has always been, and is now, the imperative duty of the Christian…to preach to him the Gospel….Furthermore, it is a mistake to suppose that the guilt incurred in the crucifixion of Jesus hinders Jewish conversion. How frequently have hard thoughts been suggested, and hard words uttered by even Christian ministers and commentators when quoting the imprecation: ‘His blood be on us, and on our children [Matt.27:25].’ Now we readily admit that judgment came on the NATION as the result of rejecting Jesus as the Messiah; and it must be admitted further that individual Jews rejecting Jesus as Saviour necessarily died in their sins, for Jesus said, ‘If ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.’…the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus not only affected the national and temporal interests of the Jews, turning the nation out of Palestine and scattering them among the Gentiles…but that the deliberate rejection of Jesus as Saviour affected the spiritual and eternal interests of multitudes of individual Jews then as the same conduct in Jews and Gentiles does now. But when we consider that tens of thousands of Jews of that same generation were truly converted after the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus, we are justified in maintaining that the spiritual and eternal interests of the people as a whole were not unfavourably affected by the people’s imprecation, ‘His blood be on us, and on our children.’….Admitting, however, that for purposes of retribution God does permit imprecations to fall on the heads of the wicked themselves, He does not permit the wicked to dispose of the spiritual and eternal interests of their children. If imprecations on others were to be answered, the Romanists would have made short work of the whole Protestant world before now; and even drunkards would barter the eternal interests of their children for the intoxicating cup….They crucified knowingly a MAN. They crucified knowingly an INNOCENT man…They crucified knowingly, not only a man, an innocent man, but also a Divine Messenger, as His works testified. But they did not crucify knowingly ‘the Lord of Glory’ [1 Cor. 2:8, Acts 3:17]…It must also be remembered that our Lord’s prayer on the Cross for His crucifiers was based on their ignorance of what they were doing [Luke 23:34]….The sin of crucifying Jesus was a sin, and a great sin, but it was not THE sin of the Jews. THE sin of the Jews then, as now, is THE SIN of the Gentile also – rejecting salvation through the blood after the blood was shed….Thus we regard it as a mistake to suppose that the imprecation uttered nearly 2000 years ago has unfavourably affected the spiritual interests of untold millions of Jews in subsequent generations.

BRITISH ISRAELISM [REFUTED], BY D.M PANTON (1927)
“Very holy people can hold very serious error; therefore it behooves us to be cautious in our judgments of persons: but also, error can be disastrous to life and character; therefore it behooves us to be equally cautious of our creed…British Israelism is historically impossible and a myth. No migration of a vast horde has ever occurred without carrying with it language, customs, physiognomy; synagogues and circumcision (for example) mark today every city to which the Jew has wandered: yet British Israelism supposes that two or three million Israelites poured into these islands, and somehow dropped everything – language, physiognomy, records, customs, even their names, their very memory; so that for two thousand years no one in the world even suspected this stupendous fact. The entire lack of evidence simply means that the event alleged never occurred. That a race which once wrote FROM RIGHT TO LEFT should (without government compulsion), with no conceivable motive, and leaving not a single trace of the process behind – that an entire race should thus revolutionize its penmanship by now writing FROM LEFT TO RIGHT is one of the most extraordinary fantasies that can ever have entered the mind of man…British Israelism is irreconcilable with explicit Scriptures…British Israelism is an unconscious betrayal of the Gospel….British Israelism is a profound overthrow of Dispensational Truth…British Israelism is, fundamentally, an abandonment of Grace for Law. National blessing, it is true, still follows national obedience; but to found that blessing, not on obedience but on blood, is something the Law itself never did, and is profoundly hostile to grace…British Israelism presents to the world a pitiful travesty of the Kingdom of God. ‘The Prince of Wales – Prince David, as he is known at home – is the hundredth generation from Israel’s King David.’ (“British-Israel Truth”, p,189) For the surrounding nations to hold that the British Empire is the Divine Kingdom on earth, and the British throne the Throne of David to which all nations must ultimately bow, is too utterly tragic, and (to the nations) ludicrous, if it were not also so politically dangerous…British Israelism, by denying that the coming wrath is upon all nations, robs the world of its most urgent warning. The most High has said, again and again, that he will ‘punish the WORLD for their evil’ (Isa.xiii.11); that the hour of trial will fall ‘upon ALL the world’ (Rev.iii.10)…British-Israelism, on the contrary, affirms that…Anglo-Saxondom ‘now embodies in itself the Church of Christ’…”

REPORT: GENETIC EVIDENCE THAT MODERN JEWS ARE DESCENDED FROM ANCIENT JEWS
“Genetic research continues to provide additional proof that the Jewish people are descended from a common ancient Israelite father, with new evidence indicating the genes of North African Jewry are virtually indistinguishable from Jews from Iraq, even though they have been separated for over 1,000 years…These conclusions are reached in an article published recently in the American Journal of Human Genetics…Surprisingly, the study shows a closer genetic affinity by Jews to the non-Jewish, non-Arab populations in the northern part of the Middle East than to Arabs. These findings indicate that the Jews are direct descendants of the early Middle Eastern core populations, which later divided into distinct ethnic groups speaking different languages…It is believed that the majority of today’s Jews – not including converts and non-Jews with whom Jews intermarried – descended from the ancient Israelis that lived in the historic Land of Israel until the destruction of the Second Temple and their dispersal into the Diaspora…” (ICEJ NEWS – 11/20/2001)
