A JEWISH STATEMENT ON CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTIANITY |

A prayer from Jewish Liturgy |
Many times have I heard people say something like-"The Jews today don't have a drop of Abrahamic blood." Or that, "The Jews have no racial or historical connection to the Bible and Palestine." Some Christians explain who the Jews are, saying, "The Jews (or Israel) are people who missed (or rejected) the coming of the Messiah and thus were cast aside by God, and so now God deals with the Gentiles."
Arab historian Jarid al-Kidwa told an Arab TV audience, "all the events surrounding Kings Saul, David and Rehoboam occurred in Yemen, and no Hebrew remnants were found in Israel, for a very simple reason--because they were never here." |
Leaders of replacement theology churches, ministries and preterists/amillennialist do not acknowledge the biblical and prophetic significance of what is unfolding in Israel and the world today.
Included are examples from a commentary and sermons from Chuck Colson, Dr. Joseph (Skip) Ryan and Dr. John Piper on Israel, Jews and the covenant land. |
ASHDOD, Israel, Sept. 14 (JTA) - They have been branded as one of the worst enemies of the Jewish people. They have attacked the authority of the rabbis and claimed the Talmud is full of falsehoods, and were allied with some of the cruelest adversaries of the Jews, including the Russian czars and Nazi leaders.
Yet today the Karaites - members of a Jewish offshoot that denies the talmudic-rabbinic tradition - are flourishing in Israel. In fact, some members suggest that the community is experiencing a rare high point in its 1,300-year history.
Mainly concentrated in the cities of Ashdod and Ramla, Israel's Karaite community is about 30,000 strong. There are about 5,000 Karaites elsewhere in the world, mainly in the United States. |
Most importantly, I was shocked that Mel Gibson had Jews in a movie set in a period two thousand years ago. Why, for at least one hundred years, the Arabs and Moslems have been telling the world that the Jews don't come from Israel and have never lived there. They have been telling everyone who will listen that the so-called "Palestinians", or Arab inhabitants of the Land of Israel, are the genuine inhabitants of Israel and that the Jews are nothing more than foreign invaders, or as they like to call them, "colonialists." |
