Indeed sis! I sure do not remember anything at all about ending the command to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, or to stop loving our enemies and those who curse us. I do not mean the Huggy Bear kissy face love of the world but, a sacrificial love through prayer and treating them like we would ourselves. Just never understood the hate
Nancy, it was late when i first responded to you on here.
The most important aspect of the rise in anti-semitism is that The Deliverer is Coming.
Just as Pharoah was seeking to destroy the Jews during the birth and time of Moses = so also is the parallel when JESUS was born and now the 3rd parallel as the LORD is Coming Back to Deliver His Saints and at the same time to Deliver and Restore the Jewish people unto Himself = Romans ch11
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
26And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come from Zion;
He will remove godlessness from Jacob.
27And this is My covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”
28Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.
29For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.
30Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,
31so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.
i 32For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.
33O, the depth of the riches
of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments,
and untraceable His ways!
34“Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been His counselor?”
35“Who has first given to God,
that God should repay him?”
36For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.
