Theological Roots of Antisemitism - Messianic Literary Corner

Antisemitism (hatred of  Jews) has it's roots in both classical  pagan and medieval western  society. Much antisemitism present in  western society can be directly  traced to erroneous Christian doctrine  from the early and medieval  Church.  The root of antisemitism is  "rebellion against the Lord's  unchanging prophetic plan for Israel, the  Church and the nations".

Our  coming Messiah  rules in the hearts of His covenant people in the gentle  bonds of  agape love. He will return to this Earth to save Israel in His  glorious  deliverance of Jerusalem at the Battle of Armageddon. At His  Second  Coming He will destroy the wicked and He will judge the nations.  In the  Millennium to come He will sit upon the Throne of David as the   anointed Messiah/Christ, rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem, thus   re-establishing the Davidic Kingdom. He will restore this sin-sick  earth  and the cosmos to the harmony and beauty the Old Testament  prophets  saw. The people and the ecosystems will rejoice in that day.  His  glorious Millennial Kingdom will last one thousand years (Rev.20).

The   spirit of Belial, (or rebellion), hates His coming rule with a  passion.  (Psalm 2) The reason is quite obvious. The return of Messiah  will  terminate the present gentile/heathen rulership. The current  misrule of  the angelic principalities and powers of this present world  system will  come to an end. Evil angels do their secret work. They pull  the strings  of depraved and lawless men. This is why the gentiles,(or  nations), rage  as we approach the end of this age. (Ps.2) The gentiles,  (or nations),  are identified in holy scripture as 'the heathen'. They  are referred to  by our Jewish brethren as 'the goyim'). Those among the  gentiles who  accept Messiah come into the covenants and the  commonwealth of Israel by  grace through faith. (Eph.2:12:13)

The   coming Christ or Messiah is the 'Son of David'. He is "the Lion of   Judah". The hostility and the raging of depraved men is directed at the   Jewish Gate of Judah. So essential antisemitism is not "irrational"  or  "crazy" at all. There is a reason for it. And that reason is quite  clear  from our knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. This rebellious world  system  and its hierarchies hate and loathe the Throne of David!

Messiah/Christ   will rule over the nations from this throne. He will rule in the   Millennial Age to come. The dark powers fear and dread His coming rule.   It is this hateful loathing of the Throne of David and the rejection  of  YHVH/God's coming righteous rule under Messiah that is the   quintessential spiritual origin of all anti-Semitism.

The   above statement was taken from "The Root of Antisemitism" by Gavin   Finley MD.  It is referenced below.  This posting is designed as an   excellent reference for those who would desire to explore the dark   history of Satan's deception within the Body of Messiah (Christ).
