I wrote this letter in the days of Sukkot and would have sent it to you if I had had your address. However, I don't want to withhold this letter from you and ask you to accept it even with this retardation.
Deuteronomy 32, 31-43 „For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomor’rah; their gs are gs of poison, their clusters are bitter; their wine is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of asps. Is not this laid up in store with me, sealed up in my treasuries? Vengeance is mine, and recompense, fot the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and their doom comes swiftly. For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none remaining, bond or free. Then he will say, ‘Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge, who ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, let them be your protection! ‘See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and swear, As I live for ever, if I whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries, and will requite those who hate me, I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh - with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the long-haired heads of the enemy. „Praise his people, O you nations; for he avenges the blood of his servants, and takes vengeance on his adversaries, and makes expiation for the land of his people."
We, GOD's chosen people, are currently celebrating the Feast of the booths = Sukkot in memory of the Children of Israel's journey through the desert after leaving Egypt, a feast which has never been quite so important as it is today.
In those days we were slaves in Egypt for 400 years, a country whose inhabitants were filled with envy and jealousy and the desperate desire to harm us, although they were the masters and we the servants, externally at least! But in spite of their riches, we Jews were always richer, because the LORD GOD OF ISRAEL was with us! HE called HIS people (the only irreplaceable and uninheritable!) HIS "children", loving us even in those days! He prepared Moses to serve and lead HIS people. HE, the GOD OF ISRAEL, never spoke directly to the heathens = non-Jews, and HE has never changed this habit to the present day. Instead, HE spoke through Moses, Exodus 4, 22 „And you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the LORD, Israel is my first-born son"
Before this, my people suffered greatly under our masters. They were not satisfied with robbery, harment and violation, with treating Jews as less than animals; they even destroyed our children to prevent the people of the ETERNAL LORD from multiplying and preserving its existence. In this way, our enemies were not only attacking us but also the ETERNAL LORD GOD OF ISRAEL! But HE came to our aid and visited plagues on HIS and our enemies. HE led is into the desert to make us into a people, because we had even been robbed of our identity! There (in the desert) HE gave us HIS word and prepared us to become HIS people! We all lived there in the Sukka (tent) and HE himself protected us from enemies, as well as from piercing heat and icy cold. This eight-day Sukkot festival is also in memory of these former times.
But there then came a time when we mixed with other peoples again, because we were not able to fully appreciate that we are different and need neither gods nor people as kings. But HE, the LORD, the CREATOR of earth and heaven, was and remained our GOD and KING! HE sent us among the peoples of the earth to find out about heathens all over the world, regardless of which lords, kings and gods they serve! HE gave the heathens the possibility of getting to know HIM through the word we brought, but they were even worse than the Egyptians before them! They were not satisfied with robbing, humiliating and murdering us. They even laid their hands on the word given to us by the LORD, our GOD! They proceeded with compulsory adoption, heathenising and de-jewifying everything that is sacred to us! The heathens even turned IMMANUEL into a separate Jesus and founded a GODless organisation which called itself Church, and which has endeavoured since its birth to ume the rightful inheritance of the children of GOD, grasping every means at their disposal, no matter how unholy!
The fact that Christianity has not managed to destroy us completely, not even during its last major campaign, the Shoah, certainly does not mean that insufficient cruelty etc. was invested! The ETERNAL LORD saw and tolerated it all, not to give them victory but to reveal their true identity to the full! The Church and Christianity were given a chance to show what they truly conceal, indicating what and how they have learnt from HIS word which HE gave HIS people: they took and robbed the promises HE gave, turning them into baptism, communion, confirmation or wedding texts; altogether they took the promises to refer to Satan's congregation, the Church. None of the people and none of the different Churches helped us. On the contrary, Christianity even received support from Islam which was still weaker at this point in time.
But then the LORD GOD OF ISRAEL restored our inheritance to us, and we were allowed to return to the land that HE had given us from the very beginning! Deuteronomy 32, 8-12 „When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of men, he fixed the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. For the LORD’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage. „He found him in a desert land and in the howling waste of the wilderness; he encircled him, he cared for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that flutters over ist young, spreading out its wings, catching them, bearing them on its pinions, the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no foreign god with him...."
The losses you have suffered as part of the Church to your "pride"!, "power"! and "honour"! have really hurt, because you thought that you could find your way to heaven by robbing words and promises, but in doing so you murdered and destroyed the children of GOD!
I know, as the ETERNAL LORD knows and as you yourselves also know, that you have already forgiven yourselves, and that the self-imposed humiliation resulting from your confessions has merely reinforced your willingness and abandonment to proceed in an even dirtier, even more GODless manner! You decided not to get any more Jewish blood on your hands! So you now co-operate with the Arabs who have become much stronger in the meantime, and with your peer, Satanic fundamentalist Islam. As is written, the Islamic people have been our enemies for much longer, because instead of Ismael, the ETERNAL LORD chose I s a a c whom HE himself had fathered, to be the first born of HIS people. The Islamic people also hope that by making life hard for us and extinguishing us, they can earn their ticket to heaven. Gen.21,1: „The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had promised."
It did not take long with Satanic-Christian istance for our direct and indirect "neighbours" to dispute our rights not only to our inheritance (the Land of Israel) which the LORD, GOD of ISRAEL gave to our fathers, but also to our Holy City which the LORD chose for us!, together with our right to life at all. In other words, your losses and GOD's reprimands were not enough for you as Christians, instead you hunted us again, like the Egyptians in their chariots! Soon you will go through the same experience that they did, only much worse, as is written! The Church will perish, as the fighters in those days were not allowed to survive because they had fought not only against people in general and the Holy People in particular, but against GOD himself, as you are doing today!
The fact that Hamas, HisbAllah, Arafat, the PLO and countless other persons and organisations are supported by you and all countries, together with the fact that there are doubts as to whether Jesus was a Jew in the first place! with a tendency in favour of a Palestinian identity, all speaks against you!
If you claim that it has nothing to do with the Church and Christianity whether Israel's enemies, who are willing to shed Jewish blood for you, should receive support from other countries/nations/UN/NATO/Red Cross/World Trade etc., because the Church has apparently no influence here,... well, I must smilingly contradict you, because every country, every political, economic and military unit consists of people. And they have been indoctrinated/confronted with hatred of the Jews through their religious education, before they now use this position against Israel.
For example, was Luther not the father of the Peasant's War in Germany, like the Shoah? And did Hitler not use his theses against the people of the ETERNAL LORD?! It is impossible to separate Church and state, religion and power, even if it was the pre-Christian tradition to do so in the era of worshipping many gods. The same applies to the many idols and self-constructed Christian beliefs, and also to Moslems and Islam.
How long will it last now until the ETERNAL LORD will destroy and perish all those who are also HIS enemies? For nearly 2000 years, the Church has merely been worshipping idols. And if the Christian organisations are now trying to unite all the strength and power given to them by Satan for one last major attack in the hope of final victory at last, this is and remains an unfounded illusion, because HE whose word lasts for ever, has foreseen all this! The victory is HIS, and HE will save HIS people and free the land of all enemies and places of idol worship, both churches and other places of worship, including mosques, minarets and the Baha'i Temple.
Do you want to reproach me for seeing nothing positive in the Church and its actions? In good Jewish tradition, I reply with another question: Do you look in arsenic to see whether it contains any vitamins and minerals? The Church is a ship without lifeboats and lifebelts. Only those pengers who have seen the direction the ship is taking can save themselves by jumping into the cold water, which still does not mean that they will reach a safe harbour. The hour is close when the Church and all who have co-operated with the Church will perish.
In our minds, we still celebrate the Feast of the booths outside in the desert, and in fact the land is still soiled by you and people like you!
Isaiah 27, 7-9 „Has he smitten them as he smote those who smote them? Or have they been slain as their slayers were slain? Messure by measure, by exile thou didst contend with them; he removed them with his fierce blast in the day of the east wind. Therefore by this the guilt of Jacob will be expiated, and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin: when he makes all the stones of the altars like chalkstones crushed to pieces, no Ashe’rim or incense altars will remain standing."
This will soon come to an end, praise be to the LORD GOD OF ISRAEL!
I know that you and those like you are neither willing nor able to change. You will proceed like Pharaoh, whose heart was as hard as stone, like yours, and whose mind went mad!
Isaiah 51, 9-23 „Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in days of old, the generations of long ago. Was it not thou that didst cut Rahab in pieces, that didst pierce in the dragon? Was it not thou that didst dry up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that didst make the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to p over? And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. „I, I am he that comforts you; who are you that you are afraid of man who dies, of the son of man who is made like gr, and have forgotten the LORD, your MAKER, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he sets himself to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor? He who is bowed down shall speedily be released; he shall not die and go down to the Pit neither shall his bread fail. For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar - the LORD of hosts is his name. And I have put my words in your mouth and hid you in the shadow of my hand, stretching out the heavens and laying the foundations of the earth, and saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’"
Rouse yourself, rouse yourself, stand up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his wrath, who have drunk to the dregs the bowl of staggering. There is none to guide her among all the sons she has borne; there is none to take her by the hand among all the sons she has brought up. These two things have befallen you - who will condole with you? - devastation and destruction, famine and sword; who will comfort you? Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of every street like an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of the LORD, the rebuke of your God. Therefore hear this, you who are afflicted, who are drunk, but not with wine: Thus says your Lord, the LORD, your God who pleads the cause of his people: „Behold, I have taken from your hand the cup of staggering; the bowl of my wrath you shall drink no more; and I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, who have said to you, ‘Bow down, that we may p over’; and you have made your back like the ground and like the street for them to p over."
Yes, you too will see what is to come. No matter how and with whom you ally yourselves against the people of the ETERNAL LORD, you are condemned to failure! Isaiah 54,15 and 17: „If any one stirs up strife, it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you. ... no weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgement. This is the heritage og the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, says the LORD."
Praise be to the LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, who created heaven and earth, and who will destroy all his enemies and create peace for HIS people.
