“Last night, Hezbollah attacked northern Israel with long range missiles, one of which hit Nazareth. Since Christians believe that Nazareth is where Jesus spent his childhood it is an important, even sacred town for them. One might therefore expect that the Church of England’s clergy would voice horrified condemnation of Hezbollah. (But) from the Archbishop of Canterbury: nothing. From the bishops of Gloucester, Chelmsford, Norwich and Southwark: nothing. Instead, they have expressed horrified condemnation of (Israel) And as ever from the Church of England hierarchy, this condemnation is based on venomous and ignorant bigotry,”
“(The Church of England’s) bigotry towards Israel is underpinned by theological antisemitism — the revival of the ancient, murderous Christian heresy of supersessionism, now turbo-charged by cynically substituting the Palestinian Arabs for the Christians who, according to this heresy, inherited all God’s promises to the Jews who were accordingly denounced as the party of the Devil. This heresy caused the murder of hundreds of thousands of Jews in pre-modern Europe. Now it has been re-purposed and re-weaponized to incite murderous hatred of the Jews of Israel.”
“This most ungodly church has long horrified and embarrassed Christians of integrity who are faithful to the Bible and to the truth. The falsehoods about Israel that the church has been promoting have played a key role in knocking the west off its moral compass.”
“In Britain and elsewhere in the world, decent Christians should now rise up and publicly denounce the antisemitism of the church hierarchy and the lies about Israel that it is constantly promoting, and demand that it immediately stop perpetrating such murderous evil.” (An Ungodly Church And A Silent Archbishop In The Face Of Evil: Church of England is built on venomous and ignorant bigotry, Says British Journalist (Melanie Philips). Virtue Online, 9/24)
So then, is the revival of supercessionism the poison infecting America’s death to Israel pro-Hamas mobs as well as the venomous Israeli hating mob who marched through the streets of a nearby city yesterday? And how about the ‘Christian’ venom spewers popping up on some Christian social platforms, preaching hatred toward Israelis? Their rants imply that Israel received its just desserts when a few months back terrorists sadistically brutalized, anally raped, and murdered great numbers of Israeli babies, children, teens, mothers, fathers, and grandparents.
This evil heresy and its hateful believers must be publicly denounced by all faithful, Bible-believing Christians.
Let us go to our Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, your faithful prayer warriors come before you in the name of our King and Shepherd Jesus Christ, acknowledging your infinite grace, mercy, power and sovereignty. We don the full armor of God to stand against the schemes of the enemy. We cover ourselves with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is your Word. (Ephesians 6: 10-18) We trust in your strength and protection as we navigate the spiritual battles raging around us and we lift up those who are under attack by the Evil One.
Father, the Evil One works through ignorant Christians and ungodly people to bring calamity and death upon Israel and the Jews. So we come before you Lord, praying for your divine protection over that land and its people. Please Lord, let it be your will to surround Israel with your holy angels. Create an impenetrable hedge of safety around that land and its people. Guard them from harm, both seen and unseen, and keep them secure in your loving care. Let no evil schemes, fiery darts, and weapons formed against them find their targets. Please Lord, turn all evil intended to harm Israelis be turned against the wicked. Be with them in their comings and goings, shield them from malice and evil intentions. May your glorious presence go before them and behind them, making every step secure. In Jesus’ Mighty Name we pray. Amen
We lift up our eyes to the mountains— where does Israel’s help come from? Its help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let their feet slip— he who watches over Israel will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over Israel— the LORD is their shade at their right hand; the sun will not harm by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep Israel from all harm— he will watch their their lives; the LORD will watch over their coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121
