Is the growing hatred of Jews and Israel, particularly by Christians, an omen of something extraordinary happening "soon"?

So the more they turn your attention to Israel, the more they try to take the attention off themselves.
It's called projection and they have it mastered.

Who are the REAL racists?
Projection does not work when WE, THE PEOPLE, are awake.
Q
AGREE

Rev 3:2
Wake up and strengthen what remains, which is about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God.

Modern Israel today is not Ancient Israel at all.

There are a lot of people who hate Israel:
There a lot of people who also hate America they call it the Great Satan.

However there are still many people who just want to live regular normal day to day lives which is not bent on hell raising…

There always extremes from the left to the right…

Best to be grounded on the Stone, yeah? Yeshua.

If you build on the saying of Jesus you are like a wise man not swayed by the winds of the world and all its dark stuff it comes with… of course there is beauty too…


I don’t hate anyone - I just might not like attitudes of some people - but the reality is this…

God loves all people and not all people from different sections of religions are all hell bent on doing some evil hateful stuff to others…

That’s the biggest problem in my opinion.

Matthew,
The days of living regular normal lives are fading fast.
You will have to choose a side.
You will either stand with God or with the World.
And the world is burning.

God Bless You

IMO, this post deserves its own thread. "May have" mercy on all ≠ he will show mercy to all.

Romans 5:18 esv
Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

Your problem is your inability to distinguish between Jews by race and Jews by religion.

Here is a response:

That's a common but misleading framing. Jewish identity is ethnoreligious—it's both a people with shared historical ancestry/culture (not 'race' in the outdated 19th/20th-century pseudoscientific sense) and a religion that people can convert to or leave. Most Jews today are secular or cultural Jews, yet still identify with the Jewish people. The distinction you're drawing often gets weaponized to deny Jewish self-definition or to push conspiracy theories about dual loyalties, 'racial' influence, etc.
What's your actual point here? If it's about policy disagreements with Israel or specific individuals, we can discuss facts without rehashing old essentialist tropes.

This is what Jesus said after his resurrection. Obviously Jesus is referring to the Father's plans.

Acts 1:6-7
So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.
And you cut it off at verse 7 because?

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,

Imagine claiming to be a faithful follower of Jesus and pretending to be doing the Father's will while simultaneously persecuting Israel and its Jews.

A gaping hole in much of Christian theology is that Jesus discards Jews and others like trash and burns them alive forever. That isn't at all how it works. Jesus will unite ALL THINGS in himself. The following scriptures describe that God will have mercy on ALL.

There are bad Jews but they nonetheless remain God's chosen people and we should support the will of our Father by supporting Israel.

Romans 11:29-32
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now[e] receive mercy. 32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.
You are badly misinterpreting that passage. Paul is saying that God wants to have mercy on all people, including all Jews and Gentiles, but He only has mercy on those who humble themselves and repent (Luke 18:9-14).

Christians, including Jew and Gentile believers united as one body, are God's chosen people!

Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

Galatians 3:26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,

Through the Jews Jesus is saving the Gentiles but will also, of course, save the Jews.

Romans 11:11 esv
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.

Jesus' disciples were Jews by race. Did He discard them?

Was John referring to Jews by race, or to Jews by religion?

1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

1 John 2:22
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Was Jesus referring to Jews by race, or to Jews by religion?

Matthew 23
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

John 8
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
Exactly. The level of ignorance in this thread is off the charts. Dispensationalists have no understanding of the Bible at all.

Did you get that from Nazi Minister Joseph Goebells?

He has been saving Jews by making them jealous through the salvation of the Gentiles for the past almost 2,000 years.
