ARE THEY REALLY JEWS?
Are those people that returned to Palestine in the 40's and 50"s really Jews? Many are now CLAIMING that these people are not Jews at all but some kind of obscure mixture of different ethnic origins. Yet these people were certainly known as Jews by the people who have persecuted and killed them for 2000 years. The Roman Church has persecuted and killed them for centuries. They also forbid them to marry anyone outside of their own people under the pain of death. This kind of persecution and hatred only served to drive the Jewish people into their own little communities called Gettoes. Here they kept their ethnic identity as Jews. If they hadn't been persecuted and hated they would have intermarried with the gentiles. Soon, there would have been no Jews. They would have lost their ethnic purity and God's word could never have been fulfilled in them in this last time. The devil and his stooges, while trying to get rid of the Jews, only caused God's word to come to pass. There would not be a nation of Israel in this modern time if they had not committed this evil against them. Many nations in this world would like nothing better than to see the nation of Israel destroyed and every Jew on earth killed.
Those who say the word of God will not be fulfilled on the Jews by separating a remnant in this last day, should ask themselves why the devil has been trying to destroy them from the face of the earth for 20 centuries. However, the only thing he has succeeded in doing was to drive them into their little Gettoes where they have been able to keep their purity as Jews. For this reason they can still be called Jews after 2000 years. The Roman Catholics, the Russian Orthodox Church and even some Protestant Churches have been used by satan against them. Yet Jesus never once gave the commandment for his church to kill or persecute anyone. Paul the Apostle said that Jesus Christ has torn down the middle wall of partition between the Jew and the Gentile so that they both could become one new man IN Jesus. (Ephesians 2:14) He told us to love one another (this includes the Jew), to do good for evil. He gave the commandment to Peter to feed his sheep. He didn't tell him to get up and army and run the Jews out of the temple so the Christians could take over. Jesus' commandments where never evil or murderous. Anyone who hates and kills his brother, or any other person, is not a Christian
Paul in Ephesians 2 : 12-22 had this to say about the Gentile and The Jew : 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of two, one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. We see here that Jesus came to break down the wall of separation between the Jew and the Gentile. This wall was the Law and Ordinances of the old order and to establish the new order in Christ Jesus. Thus the Jew and the Gentile would be one new man.
The devil used Adolph Hitler for one last effort to destroy the Jews. He caused Hitler to take the lives of over 6 million Jews in his bestial gas chambers. There have been many murderous men in the pages of history; Gensus Kahn, Alexander the Great....ect. But Hitler outdid them all. Mankind feels proud of itself for its many technological achievements in these modern times but Hitler achieved the honor of being the most brutal, murderous man in all of recorded history. Yet, it was all for nothing. Right after his brutal effort to kill all the Jews there was a second great Exodus out of the "Egyptian world system" and Jews by the thousands returned to their promised land.
Out of the "cross" of Hitler's gas chambers victory came fourth as he gathered his people from the four corners of the earth. (Isa. 11: 11, 12) And it shall come to pass in that day , that the Lord shall set his hand the second tome to recover the remnant of his people which shall be left from Assyria, from Egypt, Pathros and from Cush, Elam and Shinar, Hamath and from the Islands of the sea. And he shall set up an Ensign (Jesus) for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel and gather together the dispersed of Juda (Jews) from the four corners of the earth. At what other time in history have the Jews ever been scattered to the 4 corners of the earth?
Now, if those people in Israel are not really Jews then why has the evil one been trying so hard to kill them for 2000 years? Do you think he is that stupid? And if they are not going to have any part in Jesus' Kingdom as some people claim, why has God gathered them back into Israel in these last times? There is no man, group of men, demon, devil or army that can keep the word of an omnipotent God from coming to pass.
Before they returned to Israel everyone knew they were Jews. There was not a question about that. That's why they were hated and persecuted. Now that they are back in Israel, the evil one is trying to deceive people into believing that they are not really Jews. If the devil can't stop God's word from coming to pass he will deceive people into believing that it hasn't come to pass. Yes, those people in Israel are Jews all right. History has proved that even if you don't believe the word of God.
