Anti-Semitic attacks are on the rise – not because of bad Jews, but because bad anti-Semitic people are increasingly engaged in evil anti-Jewish actions. Jewish people and Israelis should not be deceived: changing our behavior, our appearance or our location will not stop these anti-Semitic outbreaks. These venomous attacks will continue to grow until Messiah returns.
Satan is going for broke on this one. His strategy is to stir up a massive worldwide wave of anti-Israel hatred, and then to use the momentum of that wave to launch a no-holds barred attack on all Jews everywhere.
- “Then he showed me Yehoshua the high priest standing before the angel of YHVH, and Satan [Hebrew for ‘the accuser’] standing at his right to accuse him. And YHVH said to Satan, ‘YHVH rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, YHVH who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a log snatched from the fire?’” (Zechariah 3:1-2)
- “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8)
- “the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations” (Psalm 65:7)
- “And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, and they did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, ‘Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Messiah have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night’ . . . And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman [the Jewish people] who gave birth to the male Child [i.e.: Messiah Yeshua]. So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Yeshua” (Revelation 12:7-13)
- “It will come about on that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will injure themselves severely. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it . . . Then YHVH will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle” (Zechariah 12:3; 14:3)
In the meantime, can we negotiate with Hitler?
The Western world is blind as it negotiates with jihadi powers (Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemeni Houthis, Qatar, etc.). Nearly ninety years ago Britain was blind when it negotiated with Hitler in Munich and betrayed Czechoslovakia. J.D. Rockefeller was similarly blind when his companies (Standard Oil of New Jersey [Exxon] and Standard Oil of California [Chevron]) refueled Nazi naval forces, according to a March 31, 1941 U.S. State Department report. Standard Oil regularly shipped fuel through Spain to Switzerland for the use of Wehrmacht troops in France. At a US Congressional hearing on September 22,1947, Judge Charles Clark declared that “Standard Oil can be considered an enemy national in view of its relationships with I.G. Farben – after the United States and Germany had become active enemies” (Charles Higham, Trading with the Enemy, New York: Delacorte Press, 1983, page 62). Major magnates like Ford, GM, ITT, IBM and even the Bank of England were all blind as they pursued lucrative business operations with Hitler. Doing deals with Hitler was good for American business – up to the point when Pearl Harbor threw a spanner into the works.
The God of Israel looks at business deals and peace treaties through different eyes. Nearly 3,500 years ago YHVH spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai and severely warned the Jewish people about cutting a covenant (entering into a treaty obligation) with any of the foreign tribes then living in the land of Canaan. As long as these Canaanites were not spiritually submitted to the God of Israel, they would bring spiritual confusion and deception to the people of Israel. A false peace and a counterfeit coexistence would lead to the breaking down of God’s walls of protection over Israel within the land, to subsequent foreign military invasion of the land of Israel and finally to exile for the Jewish people.
- “Then God said, ‘Behold, I am going to make a covenant with you. Before all your people I will perform miracles never before done in all the earth nor among any of the nations. All the people among whom you live will see the working of YHVH, for it is a fearful thing that I am going to perform with you. Obey what I command you today: behold, I am going to drive out the Amorite before you, and the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite. Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land into which you are going, or it will become a snare in your midst. But rather, you are to tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and cut down their Asherah poles. Do not worship any other god, for YHVH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land’” (Exodus 34:10-15)
Snares in the West
There have been a handful of Western-shepherded pseudo-peace treaties: the 1978 Camp David Accords; the 1993 Oslo Accords; POTUS Bush’s 2003 Road Map for Peace; and the 2020 Abraham Accords. Each one has assumed that Israel would hand back chunks of the Land promised by the God of Jacob to the people of Israel – in exchange for a paper-based quicksilver and quasi-recognition of Israel by the Jewish people’s mortal enemies. Each of these agreements has fallen by the wayside, with Israeli politicians, scholars, commentators (here, here, here and here) and the majority of the populace no longer believing in the viability of these agreements. Both Egypt and Jordan’s cold peace agreements have been shaken time and again nearly to the point of collapse, while the PLO and Hamas have continued to engage in bus bombings and rocket attacks in their Islamist intifadas – jihadi terror, massacre of civilians and even all-out war.
Over the years a Western worldview has evolved: surely Israel’s Palestinian enemies have inalienable rights to the Promised Land – better rights than what the Hebrew people had – and the Jewish state must shrink for peace to exist in the Middle East. This Western perspective not only brings the curse of the God of Jacob down on these nations aligning themselves with these demonic lies; they open a highway to hell for those lending a hand to jihad. The two most detailed descriptions of Messiah Yeshua’s return to Planet Earth involve Him bringing judgment on the nations who invade, who divide up and who despoil the Jewish people and their land (Zechariah 14:1-4; Joel 3:1-2).
This satanic deceiving of the West dovetails with classic Islamist jihadi strategies and Last Days vision – the Jewish people must be exiled from Israel and destroyed by the mujahidin, the jihadi armies of Mohammed. These goals are not only laid out with unmistakable clarity in the Quran and Hadith; they are trumpeted in the Hamas Charter, revealing that this terror group will never end its jihad against Israel until the Jewish state and its people are totally destroyed. Here are a few of those murderous articles:
- “The Platform of The Islamic Resistance Movement: Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors” (Introduction)
- “The Islamic Resistance Movement (ed., Hamas) draws its guidelines from Islam” (Article #1).
- “Allah is its goal, the Prophet its model, the Qur’an its Constitution, Jihad its path and death for the case of Allah its most sublime belief ” (Article #8 – The Slogan of the Hamas).
- “There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. The initiatives, proposals and International Conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility” (Article #13).
- “In order to face the usurpation of Palestine by the Jews, we have no escape from raising the banner of Jihad . . . We must imprint on the minds of generations of Muslims that the Palestinian problem is a religious one, to be dealt with on this premise. ‘I swear by that who holds in His Hands the Soul of Muhammad! I indeed wish to go to war for the sake of Allah! I will assault and kill, assault and kill, assault and kill’” (Article #15).
Snares from the East
Hamas and its fellow-jihadis in Syria’s ‘Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham’ (‘Organization for the Liberation of the Levant’; abbreviated HTS), Hezbollah in Shi’ite Lebanon and Iraq, Qatar and Houthi Yemen – as well as its overwhelmingly popular support among Egypt’s, Bahrain’s and Saudi Arabia’s Muslim Brotherhood – all are seeking Israel’s destruction. So how can the USA, the UN, the EU and a host of other nations strongly advocate that Israel lay down its weapons, declare a ceasefire, retreat from Gaza (a portion of the Land promised by YHVH to the Jewish people in Joshua 15:47) and consent to Hamas holding onto Jewish corpses and live Israeli hostages, releasing them in stages? The current negotiations spearheaded by the US, Egypt and Qatar violate God’s clear warning in Exodus 34:12: “Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land into which you are going, or it will become a snare in your midst!”
The Muslim Brotherhood’s primary agents in the news today are Qatar, Turkey and Hamas. Qatar is the primary funder of Hamas’ jihadi terror attacks on Israel, but also hosts the US Army’s CENTCOM in Doha, as well as the world’s major source of anti-American and anti-Israeli propaganda through its national TV channel al Jazeera. Qatar has subsidized US universities, colleges, think-tanks, congressmen, newsrooms and corporations to the tune of $100 billion. Over the past two decades, it has poured billions into the purchase of American-made weapons and business investments ranging from real estate to energy plants. Since 2017, it has spent $225 million on lobbying and public-relations efforts in the nation’s capital. Most of the recent virulent spread of anti-Jewish riots on America’s streets and university campuses is connected to the efforts and oil-generated wealth of this Gulf State. Qatar’s sponsoring of Hamas is influencing Americans, driving a wedge among US citizens and cracking the social and religious foundations of that country. The recent Washington D.C. murder of the two Israeli Embassy staffers (Yaron Lischinsky and his soon-to-be fiancée Sarah Milgrim) was another one of the results of a groundswell of subsidized anti-Semitism – the transplanting of Jew-hatred from the Arabian Gulf to the waters of the Potomac.
- There are fatal implications when Islamist hatred of the Jewish people and their state (through ideas and slogans) are mainstreamed into the hearts and minds of a society, whether in be in North America, Europe or even Switzerland.
This is the war that never ends
Western talking heads announce every day with increasing boldness that a deal with Hamas is at hand. Yet Hamas makes it crystal-clear that there will be no deal with Israel, no accommodation with the Jewish state. The nature of this ‘never-ending battle’ is revealed in an LBC TV (Lebanon) interview with Hamas Politburo member Ghazi Hamad on October 24, 2023 regarding the jihadi atrocities of October 7, 2023:
- “We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again. The Al-Aqsa Flood [ʿamaliyyat ṭūfān al-ʾAqṣā; Hamas’ name for the October 7 slaughter] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth, because we have the determination, the resolve, and the capabilities to fight. Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs . . . On October 7, October 10, October 1,000,000 – everything we do is justified!”
The God of the Bible is not only the God of Israel; He is the God of Joshua the warrior and the settler. In the Scriptures God fights for Israel and publicly identifies with her:
- “For YHVH will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord is fighting the battles of YHVH, and evil will not be found in you all your days” (1 Samuel 25:28)
- “Who is the King of glory? YHVH strong and mighty! YHVH mighty in battle!” (Psalm 24:8)
- “Blessed be YHVH, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle” (Psalm 144:1)
The prophet Isaiah wants us to know that God identifies with the Jewish people, both sympathetically and empathetically, “In all their affliction He was afflicted” (Isaiah 63:9). The Jewish people are as close to Him and as tender in His sight as His own eyes, “Behold, he who touches you (Zion) touches the apple/pupil of His eye” (Zechariah 2:8). The God of Israel is Captain of YHVH’s armies. It is He who sent Joshua into battle against Jericho, and it is He who granted them victory (Joshua 5:13-6:5).
The Captain of YHVH’s armies is still the Captain of Israel’s armies, as Paul reminds us: “In relation to God’s choice [the Jewish people] are beloved on account of the Fathers [i.e., the Patriarchs]; for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:28-29).
Rise up, o men and women of God!
It’s time for the body of Messiah rise up. Believers need to awaken from spiritual slumber and discern that hateful anti-Jewish deeds of darkness are happening across the planet. The day is here when worldwide anti-Semitic attacks gather momentum and morph into a satanic sword against the Jewish people.
- “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet, until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, and her salvation like a torch that is burning” (Isaiah 62:1).
How shall we then pray?
- Pray to the God of Israel that anti-Semitism’s lies and malice will be utterly broken.
- Pray that we will have the courage to expose this new virulent mutation of anti-Semitism
- Pray that we will have the strength to speak up and refute anti-Semitic teachings, actions and attacks as these happen
- Pray for believers to develop networks of underground railroads to help Jews find refuge as they return to Israel
- There are approximately 20 living Israeli hostages remaining, kidnapped by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Hamas is also holding on to approximately 70 Israeli corpses as cold storage bargaining chips. Pray for the speedy release of all the hostages, and for YHVH’s justice to be brought on the heads of the Islamist kidnappers
- Pray for the raising up of Ezekiel’s prophetic Jewish army throughout the earth
Your prayers and support hold up our arms and are the very practical enablement of God to us in the work He has called us to do.
In Messiah Yeshua,
Avner Boskey
