A HATRED HATCHED IN HELL

Here's Why there is Such World-Wide Hated of Jews and Christians

 

The young Jewish couple above, engaged to be married, were murdered in cold-blood as they were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.  last night. The gunman shouted “Free Palestine” as he gunned them down. 

Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were Messianic believers, i.e., Jews who had embraced Jesus (Yeshua) as the Messiah. Yaron had purchased a ring and planned to propose to Sarah in Jerusalem later in the year and introduce her to his family. Their lives were snuffed out be a demonic-driven hatred that must be confronted on every level--spiritually, politically, lawfully, and rationally.

Two People Groups With Whom God Has Made Covenant

There are two people groups in the earth that are hated by Satan and this couple represented both groups: Jews and Christians. This demonic hatred is because these are the two people groups with whom God has made covenant. Satan cannot get at God, so he viciously attacks those whom God has chosen to advance His purpose and cause.

It is a fact that the same people who hate Jews also hate Bible-believing Christians. In a recently surfaced clip, Mahmoud al-Zahar, a Hamas official, declared that after their successful takeover of the globe, the world would finally be rid of “Zionism” and “treacherous Christianity.”

Such hatred is so irrational, which is why I say it must have been hatched in hell. It must be demonic. The Hamas Charter makes it clear that it exists for the purpose of killing Jews and destroying the state of Israel. There is no hint of tolerance or a desire to live peaceably with the Jewish state, but only loathing and hatred.

Satan hates Jews because he hates God and God’s purposes. Any human instrument of God's favor and blessing to mankind will become a target of demonic attacks.

Here’s Why Satan Hates Jews

Satan hates Jews because God made a covenant with Abraham and promised that through his descendants the entire world would be blessed, and through his descendants would come the Messiah and Savior of the world.  

The world has been incredibly blessed by the Jews. For example, can you imagine a world with no Bible, no Ten Commandments, no Psalms, no Abraham, no Moses, no King David, and no Elijah. Can you imagine a world with no Isaiah, no Jeremiah, or other prophets who prophesied such wondrous and glorious things to come.

Can you imagine a world with no New Testament, no Gospel, no Sermon on the Mount, and no “love your neighbor as yourself.? Can you imagine a world with no Jesus, no Cross, no Resurrection, and no hope of eternal life?

Now, all these wonderful blessings that have touched people of all races, languages, and ethnicities have come to us through the Jewish people. No wonder that Satan hates the Jewish people! He cannot get directly to God, so he attacks those whom God has chosen to carry out His plan and Purpose.

The restoration of the modern state of Israel is a providential act of God. No one has ever heard of a people without a homeland and scattered throughout the earth suddenly returning to their original homeland and becoming a nation once again after 2000 years. But this is exactly what happened on May 14, 1948 in fulfillment of many Old Testament prophecies.

Does this mean that the Jews cannot be criticized? Of course not! In the Old Testament God raised up prophets to rebuke the people and nation for their moral sins and idolatry. Israel can be criticized but those calling for the murder of Jews and the destruction of the state of Israel are pitting themselves against God and making themselves instruments of hell.

Here’s Why Satan Hates Christians

Yes, both Jews and Christians are being persecuted all over the world. In northern Nigeria Christian pastors are being murdered, their church buildings burned, and Christian children abducted and forced into Islam. Open Doors, an organization that tracks the persecution of Christians around the world, says that last year over 5000 Christians were martyred for their faith in different parts of the world.

Satan hates Jews and Christians because they are the two people in the earth with whom God has made a covenant and used to advance His purpose in the earth.

Just before He was crucified, Jesus inaugurated a New Covenant, based on His redemptive sacrifice at the Cross, for all who come to Him in faith and acknowledge Him as their Lord and trust Him as their Savior. God is continuing His purposes in the earth through this New Covenant people, made up of both Jew and Gentile.

God’s eternal purposes are at work in both people, whom He is calling together into one body through Messiah Jesus.  Paul wrote of this in Ephesians 2:14-16 where he said of Jesus, 

For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation . . . that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity.

Yes, God has worked through the Jewish people to bring so many blessings to humanity, including the Messiah and Savior of the world. Since the Bible, the Messiah, and Christianity itself would not exist without the Jewish race, real Christians will love and support Israel and pray for her salvation.

And, by the way, support for Hamas is not protected speech under the U.S. Constitution. The Founders were in agreement that the freedoms they were implementing could only be maintained by a moral and virtuous people. Hamas is anything but that. John Adams, America's 2nd president, said, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious [Christian] people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other" (Hyatt, 1726: The Year that Defined America, 168.

The only explanation for the cold-blooded, irrational murder of Yaron and Sarah is that their murderer was motivated by a hatred that was hatched in hell.
