Poor Little Me

While it’s obvious not every one in the world carries this particular weakness, far, far too many can be driven into a defensive mindset. Put them together in a group, and it gets downright ugly. Then there are those who make it the primary assertion of their religion. (Caveat: Only fools will struggle with my choice of terms here. Wise people will allow the context to define the words. Semantic wrangling is foreign to true faith.)

Scan the writings of those who profess Judaism, and you will see throughout history those writings carry a sense of sorrow over oppression. In recent centuries, this is inevitably paired with a militant spirit of fighting back on some level. In ancient times, bearing sorrow was taken for granted. Do the right thing and you’ll always be in trouble. The very existence of Judaism is a slap in the face of all other religions. Of course, when you realize the Bible says that was partly the whole point of revelation, you take it for granted.

In other words, God made it clear from the very start walking in His ways would always bring you trouble from those who don’t. It’s never going to be so simple as you’ll have nothing but trouble, because the Word of God promises there are distinct benefits in this life of seeking to obey His Laws. And those Laws tend to make a nation rather friendly to others, mostly by teaching you to leave other folks in peace when you can. Share the revelation of God, but live it first so they’ll ask. Show them how well it works. If they react with uncomprehending envy, God will defend you. If they pay attention, God will make you a witness. You can’t choose for them how they will react.

But to assume the worst is not part of that revelation. Bad times come and go, and you don’t get too wrapped up in either the good or the bad. You get wrapped up in doing what’s right regardless of the costs. Somewhere along the way, the Nation of Israel slipped away from that ancient attitude, and fully embraced the wisdom of fallen man. At the same time, they bought into the common arrogance of nations, thinking they were the center of the universe, bearing the only really right way of living. So when they went away from God’s call to depend entirely on Him, they were most sure they were right. Their prophets say that. The problem was they drifted so very far away, they completely lost touch with the ancient mindset, so that they hardly understood any longer what the Law was actually demanding of them.

When God sent His own Son to correct that problem, they rejected Him. At this point, they no longer even knew their own God, and He decided their purpose on earth was done. They rejected that, too, of course. Their false concept of God would not permit it. In reality, they had some other god, one which was a product of their imagination. That imagination included an unbreakable closed circle of logic: They alone understood God and any suggestion of misunderstanding was blasphemous on the face of it. Their understanding included a lot of things Jesus criticized, but the smug self-assurance, elitism, and racist arrogance (as far back as Jonah) made them intolerable to the rest of the world. They mistook insufferable hatred for holiness, and turned inward, so that any effort to continue the mission of showing truth to the world would naturally fail.

Today we have some Jewish folks who are so very reasonable, decent and civilized, trying to represent a religion which is anything but. Granted, there are threads within that religion, various schools of thought, but what the world sees is the nasty stuff associated with the Pharisees of Jesus’ day. Bluntly stated, Judaism has only the most tenuous connection with the Old Testament religion of Moses. So it stands to reason the current perversion is an open insult to God, and He’s not going to help them with that. Whatever is going on right now with Jewishness is more likely the result of God’s disfavor. But at the same time, you can expect more than the normal amount of disfavor from the rest of the world. True holiness draws some negative response, but a hateful caricature of it draws universal despite, and justly so. It gains none of the promises of God.

But the Jews as a whole don’t see that. They are pawns under the manipulating hand of an elite group who actually hates them, even as it embraces something which is theirs. It’s using them and their broken religion to serve Satan, with all the hatred of life, love, liberty, truth, beauty, etc. It’s a lie, within a lie, within a lie…

Thus, Judaism itself is characterized by this sense of beleaguered persecution. Lacking the peace of internal justice from God, they have chosen to be defensive with a vengeance. Instead of embracing and owning the world, which was their spiritual birthright, they defy the world by clinging to one of the things God Himself took from them — the homeland in what we now call Palestine. By man’s power they have taken it, and are taking more of it. Even the poor benighted pagans of this world can see how every step of the way this has been utterly contrary to God’s Laws. But to help justify this, some very rich and powerful Jewish elites have ginned up a huge lie even they don’t believe, taking advantage of the ignorance of a bunch of folks who didn’t understand Jesus any better than Jews themselves. Utterly cynical. We now have several generations of highly educated fools who are wholly owned by the silly notions of Dispensationalism, because they bought into the same assumptions as the Pharisees about a lot of things. This is simply a way of enslaving a bunch of Gentiles to their dream, a bodyguard of powerful thugs who embrace the self-righteous nastiness as justified.

Today, we have this singularly troublesome state in the Middle East, highly accomplished in espionage, torture, terror, Orwellian lies, and a brand of Judaism which hates everyone who isn’t a member — Israel. Always whining about threats, they own enough nuclear weapons to destroy half the world single-handed, and their elite leaders own virtually all the banks in the world. Why don’t they just take over? I’m not sure, but I sense there is some perverted pleasure of toying with those who are so far beneath them. What kind of unspeakable dishonesty does it take for them to say they are threatened? They already rule all but a handful of nations via the banking system. And if that’s not enough, they own the companies which provide the means to control virtually every means of communication in existence. For example, they bought out Zone Labs (ZoneAlarm firewall) and rewrote the software which, even now, protects most government computer systems in the world which run Windows. In other words, the biggest single threat to all the world is Israel.

Yet they keep whining about how they are so alone and threatened.

Just sitting here reflecting on it, I find myself in little ways infected by this awful mindset. Sometimes I feel very much alone because everything I read out there either denies, lies and repeats the mantra of poor little Israel, or I see massive vile ugliness about hating Jews. If I run across Jews who embrace Moses and eschew the Talmud, and manage to read the Torah from the original Hebrew mindset (ANE Mysticism), I’ll be first in line to support them. If they just take a step in that direction, I’ll support them. How many people can simply sit down, without some big agenda to push, and discuss openly this madness which threatens to take the whole world down in flames? It has already destroyed the US, but something so big as America takes awhile to hit the ground, and it won’t happen all at once. But it makes you a little crazy when there are so few who dare to say what you are thinking, and I am not permitted by God to remain silent.
