the vast majority of people love to throw around the term anti-semite, while being wholly ignorant of its meaning. when you read the scriptures and God enlightens your mind with his Truth, you will come to understand the true meaning of terms such as anti-semite.
rather than type it all over again, here is a post i wrote not long ago addressing this very topic:
once you recognize that Christ is the source of all truth, not the ADL or the vain notions of men, Emile's views will make perfect sense.
for Christ is the son of David, of the tribe of Judah, and son of Abraham. Christ is the greatest Jew there is. there is none greater Jew than Christ. Christ is the greatest semite as well, for a semite is simply a shemite--from the tribe of Shem, one of Noah's three sons.
therefore to be against Christ makes you the greatest Jew hater in the world--for Christ and his bride the Church are one flesh. all their offspring--Christians--are children of Christ and children of Abraham as well.
therefore those who oppose Christ are opposing the greatest Semite of all. whomever opposes Christ is the true anti-semite. not just oppose mind you, for the word "anti" does not solely mean against. it also means "in place of". Emile simply condemns those who seek to put themselves above and in place of our Lord and His Church. they try to assume titles that are reserved for Christ and His Church alone, in the spirit of their father the devil--for he was the original usurper. Emile is simply reproving, rebuking, and exhorting with all long-suffering and doctrine the unfruitful works of darkness. that is not hatred, but love. Emile loves his Lord so much that he hates to see Christ's name sullied and hijacked by the synagogue of satan.
now, father Emile has the glorious light of Christ our Lord shining within him, and is not in darkness. hence he recognizes and understands just who it is that are liars but call themselves Jews. they are nothing more than usurpers as the devil himself. in the spirit of their father the devil and in the spirit of antichrist, they seek to usurp every good name which is reserved solely for God's faithful followers who abide in His Son.
let's be clear. Christians are the true Jews. Christians are the true Zionists. Zion is a term that the bible applies to both Christ and His people the Church. the same applies to the term Israel. Jesus Christ is the true Israel, and so is His Church. how the title is applicable to both is readily apparent when you recognize that Christ is married to His bride the Church and the scriptures inform us that in marriage:
"Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." (Matthew 19:6)
this is further clarified by St. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians:
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. (Ephesians 5:23)
i hope Emile will permit me to clarify something on his behalf. Emile often rails against what he terms "Christian and Jewish Zionists". he is correct in his assessments; the earthly Zionist movement is the personification of evil and is of the devil. but it would be helpful if he clarified more often that there are two major types of Zionists, just as their are two major applications to the term Zion.
there is the heavenly Zion, which represents Christ and his Church. Satan's counterfeit opposition to this, designed to seduce and confuse the nations, is earthly or worldly Zion and a carnal or worldly Zionism.
those who are risen with Christ set their sights and affections on the heavenly Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, and the heavenly promised land--the spiritual Israel.
those who are of their father the devil are carnally minded. they glory in earthly things such as the land of palestine in the middle east. they set their hopes and affections on a worldly kingdom of might and power. they seek an earthly king to rule on their behalf, rejecting the King of kings and Lord of lords which is now reigning from heaven. the devil confuses his children by deceiving them into believing that they are somehow chosen of God simply based upon their ethnic lineage. the devil deceives them into believing that God is gathering them back into the earthly land of Israel so he can come back and put their enemies under the feet. these people falsely call themselves Jews, they falsely call their nation Israel, and they are falsely called Zionists. they falsely believe and teach others that they are God's chosen. actually they are Satan's chosen.
Christians like Emile speak out against this usurping that is done to take the blessings and titles given by God to Christians for themselves. the single greatest antichrist force in the world today comes from the carnal kingdom which has falsely called itself "Israel". it is of course inhabited by millions of antichrists who falsely call themselves "Jews".
it is only in this context can we understand the meaning of scriptures such as Revelation 2:9 and 3:9.
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. --Revelation 2:9
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. --Revelation 3:9
Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness. --Isaiah 48:1
now most Chrisitans recognize that the words "truth" and "righteousness" are two of many titles given to our Lord Jesus Christ. this verse in Isaiah speaks to the "house of Jacob". Jacob means "supplanter" or one who takes something that does not rightly belong to him. Notice this supplanting nation which tries to heap the blessings and promises given to Christians upon themselves, calls themselves Israel. but they do not do it in truth or in righteousness, which is to say that they do not do it in Christ. for Christ is the way the truth and the life. Christ is THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Jeremiah 23:6).
so this usurping nation that makes vain mentions and swearings of the name of God, but not in truth or righteousness, do not have Christ. for let's look at the verse again but substitute the name of Christ for "truth" and for "righteousness".
Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth [Christ], nor in righteousness. [Christ].
this nation which claims itself to be Israel, which swears that they are of God, but does not have the truth--THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, are nothing more than the synagogue of satan. |
