Satan’s Synagogue
Is The LORD Jesus Christ a Zionist?
Q: Should Christians be supporting, and defending, Israel when it’s obvious they are committing genocide against Palestinians?
A: The religious leaders and secular state of Israel today are demonic tools of Satan, just as they were when Christ came to redeem us from sin.
The Pharisees and Sadducees of the Sanhedrin plotted the Messiah’s crucifixion and death, agitating vociferously for the Roman invaders to crucify him, on behalf of the Jewish people.
The ascended LORD Jesus Christ called them Satan’s Synagogue, Rev. 3:9 KJV;
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
We love the LORD’s straight-talk.
Today’s crowd would label even the King of The Jews antisemitic, and be sure they’ll accuse you for daring to criticise the State of Israel and Judaism.
But Judaism, and the Likud coalition, are no less antiChrist today.
For example, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, founder and leader of the Temple Institute, in September 2015, quotes Maimonides interpreting The Law of Moses, and teaches if any person or nation will not submit to the “Rabbi’s Noahide Law”, then it’s the religious duty of every believing Jew to slaughter them on the spot, without even consulting the Sanhedrin.
He’s also attempting to re-establish the Sanhedrin as the ruling religious body of the Israeli Knesset.
Such are the wild-eyed zionists who have Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ear.
“Christian Zionism” is an Oxymoron
Any Christian endorsing “Christian Zionism” has been deceived by the spirit of antiChrist, and shares in the guilt of the Zionist leaders, and military forces, of the State of Israel and the Synagogue of Satan.
There’s no fence to sit on: A believer follows the LORD Jesus Christ, not the spirit of the world, and certainly not the Zionism displayed by Israel today.
There’s no compromise between light and darkness, Christ and Satan, righteousness and unrighteousness.
The nations of the world follow Satan, the source of wars, revolutions, murder and genocide.
It’s commonly stated in prophecy books that the birth of the State of Israel in 1948, was fulfilment of bible prophecies foretelling the return of Jews to their homeland. (Isaiah 11:11-12, 66:7-8, Jer. 31:10, Eze. 34:11-13, Amos 9:14-15 etc.)
For example here’s Jer. 16:14-15 KJV;
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
The LORD permitted the 1948 establishment of secular Zionist Jews in Palestine, but that leads people to assume, “God must be enabling the State of Israel, and approving whatever it does.”
But that is assuredly NOT the case.
The legislative and military actions of secular Israel since 1948 flatly contradict the teaching of the LORD Jesus Christ. Notably these two commandments, Mtt. 22:34-40 KJV;
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Do the Jews and Israelis love their Arab neighbours?
It’s heartwarming to hear of a some Jewish and Arab neighbours in Jerusalem babysitting each other’s children, but sadly many Jews detest Arabs and Muslims.
Do they love the LORD with all their hearts?
No, they crucified Him, and today most Israelis are clueless who Jesus of Nazareth is, and what He’s done for them.
To their credit, many Orthodox Jews do condemn the political formation of Israel, and its illegal military occupation of Palestine, as do Messianic Jews, and genuine Christians.
Remember, Satan is the god of this world, 2 Cor. 4:1-6 KJV;
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
The LORD is sovereign, but He permits the legal owner of sinful men’s hearts to run his course, until He decides enough is enough, and returns in power and glory to judge the nations.
For somnolent “Christians” with dulled spirits and blinded eyes, who imagine Christ endorses Zionism, ponder the following examples.
Did Father approve of Abram impregnating Hagar, at the prompting of Sarai, in order to have a child?
No, it was a sinful effort to fulfil what God had said, by means of flesh, human means, instead of trusting God to fulfil His word of Promise His way, and by His Spirit and Power.
The result was Ishmael, who gave rise to the other Semites: The Arabs.
Keep in mind that both Jews and Arabs are Semite step-brothers.
They have been warring ever since Abram sired them.
But Father isn’t finished with either yet, and will ultimately reconcile them His way, not man’s way.
Likewise, Did Father God approve of Egyptian Pharaoh treating the Hebrew slaves so cruelly whilst forcing them to build pyramid idols and demon temples?
No, He permitted it to bring them to repentance, though it took 430 years. (Gen. 12:10, Gal. 3:16-18)
Just because God used sinful people to achieve His ends, it doesn’t mean He approves of the sinner, sinful methods, or of sin itself.
The point being, just because God permitted the return of the Jews to Palestine since 1948, it does not imply He endorses what they do.
The genocidal actions of Zionist Israel stand in stark opposition to the words of God manifest in the Flesh, The LORD Jesus Christ, The Jewish Messiah, Mtt. 5:43-48 KJV;
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
That is Almighty God speaking through His Only Begotten Son, to Jews, to me and to you, it was the foundation of His preaching, here again in Luke 6:27-36 KJV;
But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Judaism is Satan’s Synagogue
Zionism is the Devil’s counterfeit of the Heavenly Zion, that only Father God Himself can bring us to.
Whether Jew, Arab, Muslim, Gentile, or nominal Christian, you can live there right now if you’ll do two simple things.
Is There No King in Thee?
The world follows false gods, but the daughter of Zion, those with the King of the Jews ruling in their hearts by His Spirit, pray in accordance with the Living Word, The LORD Jesus Christ, and intercede through His Spirit, Holy Bible, Micah 4:5-10 KJV;
For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counseller perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
