Living Under an Ancient Curse

The Return of Anti-Semitism

No other ethnic group on earth has suffered the wrath of the world throughout history as the Jews have. 

From the ancient times until today, the Jews have been treated as the scum of the earth wherever they have gone in the world. And even though the world pledged to never again allow the spiritual cancer of anti-Semitism to spread after Hitler's Holocaust, that spiritual disease is metastasizing once again across the world like a deadly cancer.

Even if you choose not to believe in God or the writings of His prophets, you have to admit that the endless hostility the Jews have faced throughout the centuries is quite unusual to say the least.

But what's truly behind this ageless hostility? Why are the modern Jews so reviled and hated today as their ancestors were thousands of years ago? What's the reason for the world's maniacal hatred of this small group of about 12 million people?

The answer is profound and yet simple. The Jews have been under a powerful curse for many centuries, going back to the time of the prophet Jeremiah who lived about 2,600 years ago.

The Lord spoke to His people through Jeremiah and warned them that unless they repented of their sin and rebellion against His laws and commandments, they would suffer severe consequences. Here's what He stated through the prophet: "I will pursue them with the sword, famine and plague and will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth and an object of cursing and horror, of scorn and reproach, among all the nations where I drive them. For they have not listened to my words--words that I sent to them again and again by my servants the prophets." (Jeremiah 29:18-19)

Only a fool would believe that the trouble that's followed the Jews throughout the centuries since the time of Jeremiah is just a coincidence and not the fulfillment of that ancient curse. 

It is in fact the fulfillment of that curse. And we're seeing that curse fulfilled yet again with the protests against Israel that are breaking out across the planet. Though Israel has been under siege from rockets launched in Gaza by the terrorist group Hamas, the world condemns Israel's right to defend herself and calls for Israel's destruction.

May God's curse be upon anyone who embraces anti-Semitism and calls for the annihilation of Israel and the murder of the Jews. And God's curse will indeed be upon them. You can count on that.

In the meantime, when will God's ancient curse against the Jews finally be lifted? It will be taken away when Jesus Christ returns and the nation of Israel finally recognizes that He is indeed her Messiah. (Zechariah 12-13)

And here's what the Lord has planned for all those nations that have brutally persecuted the Jews and Israel: "Because they have ravaged and hounded you (Israel) from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and the object of people's malicious talk and slander, therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord: This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and the deserted towns that have been plundered and ridiculed by the rest of the nations around you--this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all of Edom, for with glee and malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland. Therefore prophecy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations. Therefore this what the Sovereign Lord says: I swear with uplifted hand that the nations around you will also suffer scorn." (Ezekiel 36:3-7)

And remember, just as the Lord punished the Jews for their rebellion against Him, He will punish the modern nations for their treatment of Israel and the Jews. 

If you don't believe that, then stick around and see what's going to happen to these nations and to those folks who continue to persecute the Jews.
