We're going to be looking as some different things that we haven't looked at in exactly the same way that we're going to today. Coming out of a world that is basically a 'religion' of Protestantism—whether we were in Protestantism churches or not is neither here nor there—or basically a Catholic religion.
When we first come into the Church of God we read books like:
- The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop
- Mystery Babylon the Great by Ralph Woodrow
So, we approach it from the point of view that what is commonly accepted in the world as Christianity is in degree 'Christian,' and in many more degrees pagan. We've also looked at it from the point of view that we need to follow the Old Testament as well as the New Testament, which is true; and we need to follow the Laws of God, which we know we ought to do. The first thing that we come across is that we need keep the Sabbath, which is the seventh-day of the week.
Since there are others who keep the seventh-day of the week—supposedly they keep it; we are told that they keep it, that is the Jews—we have grown to have an affinity for Jewish things, which may not necessarily be the proper affinity because we have assumed that anyone who keeps the commandments has got to be close to God.
If we assume that the Jews have indeed kept the commandments, then all they need to do is take one step and they will become Christian. Isn't this how it's been portrayed to us? Therefore, the Jews have been looked upon as very benign, benevolent or friendly to Christians, especially those who are Sabbath-keepers. But we never thought to ask:
- Though they have the Sabbath, do they worship God?
- Is it possible to have the correct day but still dishonor God?
- while you think you are 'religious'?
- maybe even make an open show of being 'religious'?
- Yes! Sure it is! It's very possible!
There have been some people who put out material concerning the Passover and Pentecost, saying that the Jews were right all along. And a very favorable thing concerning the Jews that 'the Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses, therefore, whatever they say we should do,' without ever realizing that we are not under the Pharisees, we are under Christ!
With this kind of thinking, it really becomes a problem to be able to sort out some of the difficulties that we have encountered.
Why is it that everyone is afraid to say anything about the Jews unless it is favorable? If you don't say anything favorable about the Jews—in other words if you say something unfavorable about the Jews—then you're an anti-Semite.
In San Francisco there's a Jewish commentator whose name is Ron Owens. You can tell, if you listen to him for a long period of time, that he is a Jew through and through. He will tear down anything that is Christian, he will not even allow the word on his program. His loyalties and allegiances politically are to Israel—i.e. the 'Holy Land'—where the Palestinians and the Jews are having their comeuppances.
We have all been trained and programmed, especially since WWII, to say nothing bad about the Jews anywhere. After all, Hitler killed six million Jews. Of course, there were more than six million Jews killed; I hope you understand that. There were approximately 24-million people killed in Russia alone; that's not counting the six million.
I have some thoughts as to why that occurred, because we take a benevolent, benign view toward them because ostensibly on the surface they keep the commandments of God. So therefore, in keeping the commandments of God they are nearly right. But if gave you a hundred dollar bill that was a counterfeit, that was nearly correct, but you could go around and buy anything you wanted to because someone not knowledgeable that it was counterfeit would accept it. If you would say, 'That's counterfeit money.' No, look at that! It's not counterfeit money!
I will divert a little bit to the history of Judaism. After the Jews were carried into Babylon and spent their 70 years in captivity, they developed their own religion called Judaism.
When Ezra and Nehemiah came back, they pretty well had the pure religion of the Old Testament at that particular time. But we are not told that, so this is for the 'sacred namers,' anybody who thinks we ought to use the sacred names today. Here's something you need to consider. You really don't have the sacred names, nor do you have the proper written script in the Hebrew today, because the Hebrew script is really the Babylonian script that Ezra brought out of Babylon, and he re-wrote all the books of the Bible in the Babylonian script so that the people could understand it. They did not follow the long-hand script that they had before they went into captivity.
Not many people know that. The block style of the Hebrew today comes from Babylon. That's not to say it's wrong anymore than to say that since this is in English that it's wrong. That's not saying it's wrong, but it's for all these fetish people that want to believe in sacred names, which is merely trying Judaize Christianity.
The main goal of Jesus was to un-Judaize 'Christianity.' To go to the whole world! Not to do as the Jews did and still do today, that it is theirs only and everybody else is wrong.
Mark 7:1: "Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes from Jerusalem came together to Him." The rabbinical system that we have today is noted to be that of Pharisaism. There is by admission of the Jews, by direct documentation a continuous steam of authentication that the Judaism today comes from Pharisaism. Pharisaism evolved:
- after the days of Ezra and Nehemiah
- after the problems of the upheaval of the Macabee rebellion
- after the problems of the Hellenization of the Jewish people in Palestine
- after the conquering by Rome
From the conquering by Rome onward Pharisaism became a major sect of Judaism. Here we have the Pharisees, and let's notice what Jesus told them. This becomes very important, and is not just a matter, not just a slight matter, it is a major matter. We have never stopped to ask:
- Since the Pharisees were the ones who developed what is now Judaism, have they ever changed their attitude toward Jesus?
- Is their religion keeping the commandments of God?
or
- Have they become so traditional in the things that they do that they have the Talmud and the Kabala and the Mishnah—which means to teach—to replace the Word of God?
Do you think that's possible? Yes, it's entirely possible! It has happened just in the same way that tradition in the Catholic Church has replaced Scriptural teaching.
Verse 2: "And when they saw some of His disciples eating with defiled hands (that is, unwashed hands), they found fault. For the Pharisees and all the Jews, holding fast to the tradition of the elders, do not eat unless they wash their hands thoroughly. Even when coming from the market, they do not eat unless they first wash themselves. And there are many other things …" (vs 2-4)—not just a few; read Code of Jewish Law.
Did you know that the Code of Jewish Law is very thick and it regulates everything that a Orthodox Jew must do! Just to give you some examples (paraphrased):
- To start off the book, speaking of hand-washing: The Bible says, "I will wash my hands in innocency"; therefore, upon rising from bed a Jew must wash his hands before doing anything. He cannot do anything; he cannot touch anything lest he be defiled. He must wash his hands because at night evil spirit descend upon the person and they are left on the fingertips of his hands. This is just one little scratch!
So, the way that you wash the hand is you have the water in a pitcher and you take the left hand and pour the water over the right hand and then you take your right hand and pour the water over your left hand. You do this three times while you say, "I will wash my hands in innocency." Then you're at liberty to go to the bathroom. If, however, there is an emergency then they have an escape hatch for that.
- On the Sabbath when two are studying, it's lawful for one to tip the lantern, the little lantern that they have, so that the flame will get brighter and you can read. But if there are not two of you, one is not allowed to tip it because that is igniting.
- On the Sabbath if there is a bushel of apples that are spilled, you cannot gather them back up into the bushel if they are spread around, because that is harvesting. However, you may eat them one at a time.
- If a house catches fire on the Sabbath, a person is not allowed to carry anything out of his house to save it. However, if you are wearing it you can walk out with it.
- On the Sabbath you cannot kill a flea. However, someone else can pick it off for you.
And on and on and on! It is the most disgraceful, God-rejecting thing you could ever read. It is negative, oppressive, absolutely unbelievable!
I gave it to one woman and she said that the regulations concerning marriage and that was enough for her.
"…many other things that they have received to observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and brass utensils and tables. For this reason, the Pharisees and the scribes questioned Him, saying, 'Why don't Your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?'" (vs 4-5).
The Jews ask today, 'Why do you Christians not do as the Jews?' Their view of Christianity is looking at Catholicism. We'll have to keep that in mind. I will read you some quotes out of the book Judaism and the Vatican by Leon de Poncins; an absolutely unbelievable book from what it contains in it.
Verse 6: "And He answered and said to them, 'Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, "This people honors Me with their lips, but their hearts are far away from Me."'" That is exactly what has happened with the Jews. Because they rejected Jesus, they now have the new doctrine that when they build the temple Messiah will return.
That just happens to fit in with what God said in the first place. "This people honors Me with their lips, but their hearts are far away from Me." We're to worship God with all our heart, mind, soul and being! You can see the vast difference here.
Verse 7: "'But in vain do they worship Me…'" So, they do worship God, but what kind of worship is it?
"'…teaching for doctrine the commandments of men.' For leaving the commandment of God, you hold fast the tradition of men, such as the washing of pots and cups; and you practice many other things like this.' For leaving the commandment of God, you hold fast the tradition of men…" (vs 7-8).
Lest anyone think that I'm picking on the Jews, I'll read the words of Jesus as He talked to them.
John 7:14: "But then, about the middle of the Feast, Jesus went up into the temple and was teaching. And the Jews were amazed, saying, 'How does this Man know letters, having never been schooled?'…. [taught by them] …Jesus answered them and said, 'My doctrine is not Mine, but His Who sent Me. If anyone desires to do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from My own self. The one who speaks of himself is seeking his own glory; but He Who seeks the glory of Him Who sent Him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Did not Moses give you the Law… [Don't they scream Moses, Moses, Moses?] …and not one of you is practicing the Law?….'" (vs 14-19).
That's quite a profound statement! Can you on the surface ostensively keep the law, but not keep the Laws of God? Yes/ Remember the example in Mark 2 about them walking through the grain field? They criticized! Jesus said, 'Have you never read in the Scripture how that David and his men ate of the Holy bread? Therefore, I say unto you that the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.'
So, it is not the Jewish Sabbath. It has never been the Jewish Sabbath. It is not theirs! That why when you read Lev. 23, 'The Holy Days,' God says, 'are My Feasts.' They belong to God, and they have taken that which belongs to God and have made it theirs! And it isn't theirs! It's God's! To this day the Jews say the same thing.
If you want to see the Jews' true feelings toward Jesus, go see the movie The Last Temptation of Christ! Hideous, blasphemous, demonic and degrading. Oh yes, 'we better never say a word against any Jew, because that is anti-Semitism.' But let the Jews blaspheme Christ! Let the Jews control everything that goes into our hearts and minds via television and movies. That could make me libelous as being anti-Jewish. Well, pray tell, give me the names of the producers and the owners. Who are the ones who are doing it? Their names are not Chang and Chow and Wong! Their names are not Johnson. Their names are Wasserman and others.
Here's what they think of Jesus. When John wrote this there was a reason why God recalled this to his attention to write. The anti-Christ movements in the New Testament, the anti-Jesus movements in the New Testament were not Gentile. They were Jewish! If you don't believe me, read the book of Acts.
John 8:31: "Therefore, Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in Him…" There were Jews who believed Him. Of course, the followers are only obeying the leaders. So, when I say Jews, I mean the Jewish 'religion,' Jewish religious leaders, Jewish industrial leaders, Jewish banking leaders, etc. I'm sure that there are many law-abiding Jews who are out there struggling just like the rest of us to do the best that they can. They are blinded and just don't know any better. But there are some who are not blinded, and they know better.
"…'If you continue in My Word, you are truly My disciples. And you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free.' They answered Him, 'We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. What do You mean by saying, "You shall become free"?' Jesus answered them, 'Truly, truly I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a servant of sin'" (vs 31-34).
None of you keep the Law of Moses! Full well you reject the commandment of God that you may keep your traditions!
Verse 35: "And the servant does not live in the house forever; but the Son lives forever. Therefore, if the Son shall set you free, you shall truly be free. I know that you are Abraham's seed; but you are seeking to kill Me, because My words do not enter into your minds" (vs 35-37).
The goal of Jesus was not make Christianity a 'Judaism religion.' But to open it to the whole world! What did Jesus tell the disciples? Go you, therefore, into all the world unto all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and I am with you until the end of the age!
He told them just as He ascended into the heavens, 'Go into Jerusalem and wait until you are imbued with power from on high. Beginning at Jerusalem you shall go to the uttermost parts of the earth!'
The Jews didn't like that, because they thought it should be theirs only.
Verse 38: "'I speak the things that I have seen from My Father, and you do the things that you have seen from your father.' They answered and said to Him, 'Our father is Abraham.' Jesus said to them, 'If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has spoken the Truth to you, which I have heard from God; Abraham did not do this. You are doing the works of your father.' Then they said to Him, 'We have not been born of fornication. We have one Father, and that is God.' Therefore, Jesus said to them, 'If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I proceeded forth and came from God. For I have not come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why don't you understand My speech? Because you cannot bear to hear My words. You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you desire to practice…." (vs 38-44).
Those are pretty strong words. We don't find this conversation recorded in Matt., Mark or Luke. We find other confrontations, but this has got to be—when written by John at a later time—a very important thing for us to know, because of the way that things were headed.
"…He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the Truth because there is no Truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he is speaking from his own self; for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I speak the Truth, you do not believe Me" (vs 44-45). Let's reiterate who John labels as antichrist.
1-John 2:22: "Who is the liar… [just read in John 8] …if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son."
The Catholics deny the Father and the Son in a little different way. They don't deny Jesus in the same way that the Jews do. The Jews absolutely deny, hate and despise Jesus as a 'religious' tenet of their doctrines of Judaism.
I don't have time to read those statements today. The real confrontation was between Jew and Jew who believed in Christ and those didn't. the Jews have said, 'Jesus we can understand, Paul we shall never forgive!' Why? Because Paul was a Pharisee! What are some of the dastardly things that Paul did? He taught Gentiles—uncircumcised—to keep the Passover! An utter defilement in Judaism! He taught them to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. He taught them to worship God and Jesus Christ.
But the Jews said, 'We have one God' and a monotheist denies the Father and the Son. That's why Jesus gave them the parable saying, 'Who is the Christ? They said that He's the Son of David! 'How then, in the spirit, does David call Him Lord? 'The Lord said unto my Lord.'
Now let's look at something else very interesting. I think we need to do it in the context of what I am going to bring you.
Revelation 2:2—talking to the Church at Ephesus: "I know your works, and your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot bear those who are evil; and that you did test those who proclaim themselves to be apostles, but are not, and did find them liars; and that you have borne much and have endured…" (vs 2-3). So, they tried those who were apostles and found them to be liars.
Here is one of the confrontations that Paul had; this is right after Paul and Barnabas were sent out under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit:
Acts 13:4: "So then, after being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed away to Cyprus. And when they came to Salamis, they preached the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews…." (vs 4-5). To the Jew first, then the Gentile!
You look at how many riots that Paul had to confront in the synagogues because of the Jews.
"…And they also had John as an assistant. And when they had gone through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus" (vs 5-6)—which means the son of Jesus.
Verse 7: "He was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man, who called Barnabas and Saul to him, desiring to hear the Word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so was his name interpreted) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith. But Saul, who was also called Paul, being filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him, and said, 'O full of all guile and all craftiness, you son of the devil and enemy of all righteousness…'" (vs 7-10).
Those are power words! I mean, I've preached a long time, but I've never stood face-to-face with someone and said, 'You child of the devil! You enemy of all righteousness!' That's something!
Verse 11: "And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season…." How did he know that would happen? Because it happened to him!
Wasn't Paul knocked blind for three days when he was going to up to arrest the brethren and haul them in under the authority of the chief priest? Yes!
"…And immediately a mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking someone to lead him by the hand" (v 11). So, there were false apostles!
There's Simon Magus who was another version of it. That's the Gentile version of it. We don't want to focus on the Gentiles alone, but there were more false Jewish prophets than there were false Gentile prophets.
Revelation 2:8: "And to the angel of the Church of the Smyrneans write: These things says the First and the Last, Who was dead but is alive. 'I know your works and tribulation and poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who declare themselves to be Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan" (vs 8-9). So, there has to be a powerful force of the synagogue of Satan.
We've always said that that's the Catholics. That may be a synagogue of Satan, but who did Jesus say was serving the devil directly, out of his own lips? Who was their father? The Jews were serving the devil! Jesus said that He was 'the Way.' If you reject Jesus, you are an antichrist; whoever you may be, wherever you are.
Revelation 3:9: "Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who proclaim themselves to be Jews and are not, but do lie. Behold, I will cause them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you."
So, we're bound to have a confrontation with the synagogue of Satan. In the vernacular: There ain't getting' around it, folks! We're gonna! They are the ones who deny the Son and the Father! They are the antichrist!
We always used to lay this at the feet of the Catholics, which we can lay it there partly. The Catholics believe that Jesus came in the flesh. But they also believe that Mary was also of an immaculate conception. So, even though Jesus came in the flesh, 'He didn't quite have the same flesh as we have.' But they don't deny that Jesus came in the flesh. The Jews deny that Jesus—the Son of God—came in the flesh.
1-John 4:1: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world"—which tells you that false spirits follow false prophets. Who inspires the false prophets? False spirits! Yes, they are inspired, but not of God!
Verse 2: "By this test you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God." He literally means that the same flesh, made in the likeness—'homoiomati'—of sinful flesh (Rom. 8). Jesus came as an offering for sin.
Verse 3: "And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not from God. And this is the spirit of antichrist, which you heard was to come, and even now it is already in the world."
excerpts from Judaism and the Vatican by Leon de Poncins (from the back cover about the author):
VICOMTE LEON DE PONCINS is descended from an old and distinguished French family, having a long tradition in the study of spiritual and political subversion. His paternal great grand-father was killed fighting against the 1789 Revolution, and his maternal great grand-father was imprisoned by Napoleon for his support of the monarchy.
The author himself, while refraining from alt direct contact with political activity, has written nearly twenty books dealing with specific aspects of the problem of subversion in the modern world, and outside France, his works have been published in England. Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Hungary. Bulgaria and Portugal. Before the last war, he founded and directed the famous review Centre-Revolution, which was published from Geneva in Switzerland,
During the Second World War he was enlisted in French Military Intelligence in which he served until the Liberation. Later the Liberation Authorities brought an unsuccessful prosecution against him for alleged treason in respect of some of his writings but it was found that he had merely published texts by eminent Jewish scholars, the authenticity of which were incontestable.
Of all who have attacked the problem of political and spiritual subversion in the modern world, none has won more universal acclaim by his penetrating logic and strict impartiality than Vicomte de Poncins
If you were a Jew, what would be the one thing that you would want to stop? Anti-Semitism! Where would you lay the blame for this anti-Semitism? Of course, not on our behavior, because we're good people! However, let me read to you some of the things that are written here, and what the Jews have done in confronting the Catholic Church to change its view of Jews.
(go to the next track)
Not many people realize, but in 1964 on Nov. 20th the Vatican, in it's ecumenical council, decided to change their doctrine concerning the Jews, and they said that the Jews did not kill Christ; that they are not responsible for 'deitcide.' How did this come about.
At first sight, this motion seems to conform to the unchanging doctrine of the Church which, while striving to protect the Christian community against Jewish influences, has always condemned persecution, a fact which has indeed been candidly acknowledged by a Jewish writer, Max I. Dimont.
Which is that Catholics could have killed all Jews if they wanted to.
In fact, however, the motion voted on in Rome implies that the majority of the Council Fathers are under a serious misapprehension as to what constitutes the very essence of Judaism.
That's one of the problems that we have today.
It would seem that they have only applied themselves to the humanitarian aspect of the problem skilfully submitted by the spokesmen of World Jewry and by a Press largely favourable to Jewish interests.
Lo and behold, there was a man names Jules Isaac who after WWII got together Jewish scholars, Jewish rabbis and conformed confederations with different Catholic groups. What they did was they said, 'We need to stop anti-Semitism, because never again are we going to allow the world to kill six-million Jews. Which seems well and good.
Now, Jules Isaac wrote a paper and submitted it to this council of cardinals, which voted. I think it was 242 voted yes with reservations, and I don't think there was anyone who voted against it.
He submitted a paper showing that—charging that—the Catholics brought upon all anti-Semitism because of the teachings, which were inherent in the New Testament. Therefore, he said, 'I'm going to present you a dissertation which will prove the four evangelists as liars.'
I don't have time to give you all the account; this is a very detailed kind of writing.
Jules Isaac's writing: "What could not be said, what has not been said on the grounds of historical probability. But it is dangerous ground, as I well know: truth 'can sometimes appear improbable.' It makes me all the more inclined to remark that, conspicuously in Matthew and John, the figure of Pontius Pilate exceeds the bounds of improbability....
"It is hard to believe that the all-powerful Procurator in bewilderment had to consult the Jews, his subjects, and the high priests,
his instruments, as to what he should do with the prisoner, Jesus.
"It is hard to believe that the butcher of Jews and Samaritans, suddenly overcome by scruples about a Galilean Jew accused of messianic agitation, stooped to solicit the pity of the Jews for him 'What evil has he done?"
"It is hard to believe that a Roman official had to have recourse to the Jewish symbolic ritual of washing hands to rid himself of his responsibility—in the eyes of the God of Israel no doubt.
"It is hard to believe that the cunning politician in him took it into his head that day to take the side of the luckless prophet
against the native oligarchy upon whom it was customary for the Roman rulers to rely and upon whom he himself depended, for Pilate held Judea through Hanan and Caiaphas.
"It is hard to believe that the representative of Rome, whose supreme duty and care was to ensure respect for Roman grandeur, went to and fro in honour of a few devout Jews from the judges seat to the street outside where they were gathered.
"It is hard to believe that a strong ruler, though ready to shed blood to prevent any rising or threat of a rising, nevertheless to please the Jewish crowd agreed to release a 'well-known' rioter imprisoned on a charge of sedition and murder (and why did the crucifixion of Jesus have to follow the release of Barabbas.
"It is hard to believe that the judge, the law-maker of [he province, though apparently oblivious of the fact, said to the high priests his interlocutors: 'Take him yourselves and crucify him.'
"It is hard to believe that a pagan sceptic was impressed by the charge cast against Jesus by the Jews-according to Johii xix—that 'he had made himself out to be the Son of God (in the Christian sense, being quite incomprehensible at first sight either to a pagan or to a Jew).
"It is hard to believe that a Roman lawyer, so precise in mind, could have apparently waived all traditional methods of procedure during the trial of Jesus.
"But it is even more unbelievable, a thousand limes more so, that a Jewish crowd, 'the whole people' of the Jews, patriotic and devout, suddenly became enraged against Jesus to the point otbesieains Pilate, a detested Roman, and demanding that the prophet who had been so eagerly sought after the day before a man of the people, one of their own people, should be crucified in the Roman way by Roman soldiers....
I circled every one of those: "It is hard of me to believe…"
And what of the historic scene which emphasised the contrast between the action of Pilate washing his hands and the cry of 'the whole people' of the Jews: ''His blood be upon us and upon our children'?
"We have already referred to it, but not nearly enough when one considers ail the evils to which it has given rise.
Now, Jesus is the Source of the anti-Semitism! Not their anti-Jesus stance! Not their anti-Christ stance! Not their own judgment upon their own head!
"I still maintain that Pilate's gesture was 'completely at variance with the procedure of Roman trials'; that is sufficient. I have the right to draw the conclusion that in all probability the gesture never was in fact made….
So the Scriptures are a lie! Matthew lied! Luke lied! Mark lied! John lied! That's what they view the New Testament as, a lie! So, maybe we're looking at the wrong place for the antichrist.
"Never has a narrative appeared so obviously tendentious, or Anxiety to 'impress' been so marked, culminating in verses 24 and 25, which compel conviction in all open minds.
"No, Pilate did not wash his hands according to the Jewish custom.
"No, Pilate did not protest his innocence.
"No, the Jewish crowd did not cry out: 'His blood be upon us and upon our children....'
"But what is the good of stressing all this any more? The case is up for hearing in the eyes of all men of good faith. And I venture to say, in the eyes of God too.
"Therefore the total responsibility of the Jewish people, of the Jewish nation and of Israel for condemning Jesus to death is a matter of legendary belief and not based on solid historical foundations.
"To maintain the opposite viewpoint, one would have to be intractably and fanatically prejudiced…
'All Christians are prejudice against Jews'! No we're not!
…or have a blind belief in a tradition which, as we know, is not 'normal'…
We're all crazy to believe in Jesus!
…and thus ought not to be laid down as a rule of thought for even the most docile sons of the Church—a tradition which, moreover, is infinitely noxious and murderous, and which, as I have said and shall repeat, leads to Auschwitz—Auschwitz and other places. Some six million Jews were liquidated solely because they were Jews and this brought shame not only upon the German people but upon the whole of Christianity, because without centuries of Christian teaching, preaching and vituperation. Hitler's teaching, propaganda and vituperation would have been impossible."
In short, in their account of the Passion, now revised and corrected by Jules Isaac, the writers of the Gospels appear as arrant liars of whom Matthew is unquestionably the most venomous.
A slight sample of Jewish writings! Did you know that there was that kind of virulent anti-Christism in the world?
Let me tell you what happened. This was presented to the bishops at Rome. All the bishops voted that 'we must take a new look at the Jewish question and not condemn them for killing Jesus.
Has the Gospel been eroded? Even in the Catholics! I'll give you something to think about concerning why six-million Jews died. Let's start with this:
- Is there a God in heaven? Yes, absolutely, there is a God in heaven!
- Does He know everything that goes on, on this earth? Yes, He knows everything that goes on, on the earth! Absolutely, without a doubt!
- He even knows when a sparrow falls!
- He even knows the number of hairs that are on our head!
- Did He know who died in WWII? Yes!
- Does God punish a people without reason? NO!
Jeremiah 18:1: "The Word, which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 'Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.' Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was working at his wheel" (vs 1-3). He's making a vase.
Verse 4: "And the vessel that he made of clay was ruined in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Then the Word of the LORD came to me, saying, 'O house of Israel, can I not do with you even as this potter?' says the LORD. 'Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hands, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. If at any time I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck it up and to pull it down, and to destroy it; if that nation, against whom I have spoken, will turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them. And if at any time I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build it and to plant it; if it does evil in My sight, that it not obey My voice, then I will repent of the good with which I said I would do them good'" (vs 4-10).
I will give you some reasons why six-million Jews were killed
- Many of those Jews who were killed were not Jews at all, but Khazars.
They came from the Khazarian Empire. You can read of that in the Jewish Encyclopedia. These are called the Ashkenazi Jews. The Sephardic Jews were the ones who came out of Babylon, who were the ones who originally went into Babylon and they went through the southern part of the Mediterranean and ended up in Spain.
The Ashkenazi Jews are not Jews by nature. They adopted the Jewish religion of Judaism and became more fanatical than the Jews. They are those Jews who are in Russia, the Ukraine, Poland and down into Europe.
- I believe that they were killed because Jews started communism: Marx and Ingle
- Jews were behind the Russian revolution and exterminated, before Stalin was done, over 50-million people
Yet, no one raises the voice and says what the Jews have slaughtered! No one has asked who invented the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb. The Jews invented that under the auspices and direction of the United States after we were conned into doing it for fear that Hitler would do it before us.
How many people, if that is unleashed on the world, will that kill? We need to look at the other side of the coin. Yes, there may very well have been six-million Jews killed, but there were also 12-million Poles who were killed, also the German soldiers who died, the German populous who died, the Americans who died, the British who died, the Norwegians, Swedes, Italians, Greeks, Arabs. It was truly a world war!
Yet, that did not stop the synagogue of Satan from rising again! Yes, I believe that six-million Jews were killed. I do not believe that the New Testament was responsible for it. I believe that God was responsible for it, because of what they did wherever they went in treating the other nations as beasts, as contemptuous, and as people only fit for fodder for the Jewish program, which is perpetrated by the Rothschilds, perpetrated by the Rockefellers, perpetrated by all of the international bankers.
- Guess where the mark of the beast is going to come from?
- Who is going to invent that?
- Who already has it going?
- Guess who is actively today trying to eliminate the name of Jesus Christ from public knowledge?
- trying to destroy the New Testament?
- undermining every Christian church they can lay their hands on?
- The Jews of the synagogue of Satan!
There's much more in here where they say that they are the mother religion of Christianity and Mohammadism. If Christianity and Mohammadism would come home to its Jewish roots, we could bring world peace.
The Jews today still believe that the world is theirs to take and control. Why do you think that the globalists' and the internationalists' leadership comes from the Jews. Why do you think that Jews are the head of the women's movement? the abortion movement? the ACLU movement? Why do you think that they are there to stop the execution of criminals?
They are there to destroy this nation! It is going to be the hand of the Jewish conspiracy and the international bankers who have brought this nation into slavery, that's going to tear it down, because they are not Jews, but are of the synagogue of Satan!
That may be a little strong! You may say that those are 'hot words'! Believe me, all I have to do is just get the list of the prominent people where. Who do you think is the head of destroying the American flag. After the congress passed a law that it was against the law to destroy the American flag, in Seattle dissidents burned the flag. Guess who was the lawyer to defend them? Kutzler who is part of the major globalist conspiracy to bring all nations under the Untied Nations auspices!
They hate and despise America! I talked to a man who said that if you're in New York you don't know the half of it. It is, us the Jews against them, the Christians. They're out to destroy everything that Christianity stands for—period!—or to Judaize it! We need to get our eyes to look in a little bit different direction from some of the things that are coming, because they are going to be astounding! We're not going to see them clad, necessarily, all of them in Roman Catholic garb. We're going to see them clad in Jewish names.
But they're going to put a front so that someone else is going to be the 'dupe.'
- Did you know that ABC, NBC, CBS and TBS are all owned by Jews?
- Did you know that every movie that is made is controlled by a Jewish organization?
- Where do you think the debauchery of the morals is coming from?
- Why do you think that they only allow the kookiest of Christian religionists on the air?
- So they can defunct it as nonsense and falderal!
I mean, we're down into some very serious times! Those are words and these are things that some people might say, 'Fred Coulter, you're out in left field, you're way off base, because the Jews are not like that.'
- I challenge you to read!
- I challenge you to read this book Judaism and the Vatican!
- I challenge you to do the research on your own, and you find out for yourself!
I think you're going to be surprised where all of this is leading to, and what is going to happen. Right now the JDL or the ADL—Anti-Deformation League—is now in the forefront in putting in anti-hate laws. You cannot speak against homosexuals. A minister in Sweden was put in jail for calling homosexuals perverts. They're trying to bring the same thing here to the United States under the guise of anti-Semitism control. Oh yes, they can say anything about us, anything about Christians, but don't you dare say anything about Jews. Well, I say, 'what is good for the goose is good for the gander!'
So, maybe we need to take another look at the antichrist and how it's going to come about. Maybe it's going to be in some different colors. Don't forget as I have said long ago, the woman of Babylon that rides the beast is a combination of all religions! But guess who is going to be at the front to mongrelize all of them? To use them as lackeys for their own end? The synagogue of Satan! That's why it's in here; that we need to beware of it!
It's not there just so we look and say that the Catholics are all wrong, there's much more to it than that!
