Not to burst your bubble, but your post is silly on multiple accounts. First of all, the number 6.6 lacks any negative spiritual connotation. Second, when the 666 does finally arrive in our midst--and it does not appear too far off indeed, in light of COVID and multiple tech advances that make such a mark feasible--it will usher in the antichrist, who will......DRUM BEATS.....HATE Israel with a fervent passion. You need to get your Bible's out, dust off the cover and read how Jesus comes to save Israel at the Battle of Armageddon. Prior to the Battle of Armageddon Israel and God's Chosen People (the Jews) will be subjected to far worse horrors than any ever planned or implemented by Hitler. While the anti-christ will seek to kill Christians, who I regret to inform you WILL very much be here during that period (no vanishing), he will persecute the Jews and Israel with tremendous passion--given that he is from hell.
The Israel that people like you defend is not the Israelite's God speaks of defending. The entity you see over there created by England who was at the mercy of Jewish bankers is the "Synagogue of Satan" Jesus speaks of very clearly.
Israel is a death state behind every degenerate vehicle used to transform the world into demon worshiping homosexual cultists.
You need to dust off your Bible and get to reading the truth. If you think some Ashkenazi gremlins are God's chosen people you've fallen for that Evangelical brainwashing the likes of Billy Graham introduced to America.
Israel is our number 1 enemy. The worlds enemy in fact.
The Central Bureau of Statistics reported at the end of 2019 that the Christian population of Israel was approximately 177,000, or 2% of the overall population.
By 1947, on the eve of Israeli independence, the Christian population in Mandatory Palestine was 143,000 - 7% of the total population. Not much of a change in 72 years. Bethlehem was 85% Christian in 1947, the year before Israel became a state. Today, it is less than 20%. In Jerusalem, the Christian population in 1947 was 19%. Now it is just 2%. A visiting delegation in 2019 reported that Christians are no longer welcome in the Holy Land. The increase in Christians is an anomaly and good news compared to the 72 years trend of discrimination and growing dispossession.
Christianity in Israel is called Natsrut b'Yisrael (Hebrew: נצרות בישראל, romanized: natsrút b'yisra'él) in Modern Hebrew and al-Masihiat fi 'Iisrayiyl (Arabic: المسيحية في إسرائيل, romanized: almasīḥiyyāt fī ʾisrāʾīl) in Arabic.
Ten Christian churches are formally recognized under Israel's confessional system, for the self-regulation and state recognition of status issues, such as marriage and divorce: the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Armenian Catholic Church, the Chaldean Catholic Church, the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Latin Catholic Church, the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, the Syriac Catholic Church, the Syriac Maronite Church, and the Syriac Orthodox Church.[citation needed] However, the practice of religion is free, with no restrictions on the practice of other denominations. Approximately 300 Christians have converted from Islam according to one 2014 estimate, and most of them are part of the Roman Catholic Church.[2] A certain number of Israelis also practice Messianic Judaism, usually considered a syncretist form of Christianity. The number of Messianic Jews in Israel is estimated at around 20,000. They are mostly classified "without religious affiliation" rather than Jewish or Christian.
In terms of demographics, Christians make up around two percent of the population in the state of Israel (177,000 people) as of the end of 2019.[3][4] Most of these (78%) are Arab Christians,[4] who are mostly adherents of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church (60% of Arab Christians).[5] Some 42% of all Israeli Christians are affiliated with the Melkite Greek Church, and 30%-32% with the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem.[5] Smaller numbers are split between the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem with 13% of Christians, about 25,000 Russian Orthodox Christians (Russian Orthodox Church), about 15,000 Arameans (including 7,000 Maronites) who adhere to the Maronite and Syriac churches, 3,000 to 10,000 adherents of Armenian churches, 1,000 Assyrians affiliated with the Assyrian Churches[disambiguation needed], a community of around 1,000 Coptic Christians registered as "Arab Christians", although their Arab identity is disputed, and small branches of Protestants.
Israeli Christians are historically bound with neighbouring Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian Christians. The cities and communities where most Christians in Israel reside are Haifa, Nazareth, Jish, Mi'ilya, Fassuta and Kafr Yasif.[6] Arab Christians are one of the most educated groups in Israel. Maariv newspaper has described the Arab Christians sector as "the most successful in the education system",[7] since Arab Christians fared the best in terms of education in comparison to any other group receiving an education in Israel.[8]
Those are great points brother. I admit to being short of time, and thus need to attend to those activities that enable me to pay my bills. I hope you understand. I appreciate our conversation!! Have a great day.
do you not realise that the "jews" referred to by jesus were not the jewish race? he states this multiple times and refers to them as fake jews or the synoguage of satan. the star of david is a 6 sided star which represents saturn. the word satan comes from the word saturn.
they are "saturn" worshippers, not "gods chosen people"
maybe its you who needs to look into the bible a bit further?
Sorry brother, I follow the Bible
Jesus was a Jew, and a practicing one. I believe him--not you--when He says himself that he came NOT to destroy the law and the Prophets, but to fulfill. Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament. God chose Israel and the Jewish people to deliver the Messiah to the world. I cannot think of a greater compliment. ALL heroes of the New Testament were Jews, from Paul to St. Stephen etc. etc. He could have chosen anyone. He selected Jews. He wept for Jerusalem, and he raised Lazarus from the dead--a Jew. He did this for no other. He loved his own people, even though its leaders did not recognize him, as the Scriptures foretold they would not. I love the Jewish people.
With all due respect, what drives me a bit bonkers about this site is the following apparent and clear contradiction:
A DEMAND for "sauce" on one hand for valid, well researched posts.....
On the one hand, vs.
Drivel like this that is simply repeated over and over because it cannot be falsified (in that it is bunk). Israel was established by the Hand of God, as the Bible told us for nearly 2 millennia would happen prior to the Return of the Messiah.
But you apparently would prefer to repeat information you heard from some talking head trying to get followers on YouTube.
You're using one of the classic 5 major falsehoods used to mislead Christians, to wit: (1) The Jews are Israelites, and thus God's chosen people; (2) Jesus Christ was a Jew.
Judaism is a newer religion than Christianity is. Christianity has NEVER been based on Judaism. Judaism was created to confront the spread of Christianity - using the Bible as a prop and also to conceal Judaism's ritualistic practice of blood-letting.
As an example, below is information on Judaism's foundational Passover text.
Surprise, surprise, it's not from the Old Testament but rather the Haggadah, a thoroughly Talmudic work. (M. Hoffman III, "Judaism Discovered"). The Talmud was compiled as a result of the absolute destruction of Herod’s temple, in which every stone was carried away leaving no trace of it’s existence. In it we learn:
In 66 CE, when the Roman general Vespasian swept into Jerusalem, Judaism was a cultic, oral religion, with Herod's massive temple as its lodestar. Everything happened in the temple complex. Four years later, Vespasian's son Titus razed it to the ground. A quote from the Talmud:
"Where was God under the rubble?" wondered the Rabbis.
"How to praise him now that the temple was gone?"
The sages agreed: Jews would have to BECOME a people of the book, or they would disappear. Hence, they were NOT a people of the book before this time.
These people are not Israelites nor Judahites. So, Israel today is a false Israel.
The Jews are not Israelites. From their own academic texts we find:
"Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an 'Israelite' or a 'Hebrew'". -- 1980 Jewish Almanac, 1st chapter "Identity Crisis". (Jewish Encyclopedia IV, 1902, p 335).
This is indisputably backed up by the archaeological finds of ancient Israelites and their skulls. Cranial shape and size does not change racially. The Israelite skulls were dolichocephalic (long-headed) with avg. cranial capacity of 1416cc. This is identical to modern northern Europeans. Modern day Jews are brachycephalic (round-headed) with a much smaller avg. cranial capacity of 1266cc. This fact alone convincingly proves modern Jews are not descendants of ancient Israel.
"Edom is in modern Jewry" -- The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol. 5, Page 41
"Jews began in the 19th century to call themselves Hebrews and Israelites in 1860". – Encyclopedia Judaica 1971 Vol 10:23.
Brother, I think we are getting off track. My source is Scripture, bot the Old Testament (which goes back 5000 years minimum) and the New Testament, which focuses upon Jesus. My source is universally accepted and credible. Yours is not. Furthermore, I am not cherry picking arguments to piece together a narrative. You are. Thus, there really is no comparison.
Either you accept the Gospel or you do not? All in the Gospel were good practicing Jews. All of them. Jesus was the prophesied Messiah. You apparently have not read the Old Testament. You should as you would likely find it amazing and inspirational. It foretells the coming of Jesus the Messiah.
God Bless Brother.
The earliest Old Testament that is available is the Greek Septuagint written in 285 BC and finished shortly afterward. Your source regrettably is from authors of lies and deception. I've researched for over 40 years to tell you that very little being preached as being "universally accepted and accepted".
Unfortunately, you're repeating one or two of the grand falsehoods that are taught to Christians. The "Chosen" are not the Jews. This is blatantly un-scriptural and incorrect and Jesus was not a Jew either. The Jews are not Israelites and their own scholars admit this. Even archaeologists have proven this with showing the racial cranial shapes and capacity do not change in time and do not match modern jews. The difference is as disparate as sino-Chinese is to Congolese.
In regards to your "5000 year old minimum" comment, the ancient written Hebrew (paleo-Hebrew) was lost in antiquity. The neo-Hebrew used at this website with vowel points, something the original language never used, was manufactured in the 10th Century.
The earliest Bible we have is the Greek Septuagint. The Septuagint was used widely by the early Christians exclusively as their Old Testament Bible. This is a widely accepted fact and that the quotations of Christ and His Apostles that occur in the New Testament are taken exclusively from the Septuagint. According to tradition,Ptolemy Philadelphus, who purchased the freedom of Israelites in his territories, arranged for 6 scholars from each of the 12 tribes to translate the first five books of the Old Testament from the ancient Hebrew into Greek around 285 BC. By this time, a practical knowledge of the Hebrew language was all but lost among the Hellenized Israelites citizens.
After the conquests of Alexander the Great, Greek had become the common language of the known world. So Ptolemy gathered 72 scholars in Alexandria, Egypt and they completed the Pentateuch (first five Books of the OT). The Latin name 'Septuagint', meaning 70, was later, applied to the translation. Both 'The Letter of Aristeas', who was an assistant of Ptolemy and the historian Flavius Josephus record in detail the history of the making of the Septuagint. It is unclear when the rest of the OT was finished in the Septuagint, but it was certainly finished by 150 BC. The original Hebrew OT are now lost in antiquity.
From the Greek Septuagint derives the original Greek New Testament, which was also lost in antiquity. From the original Greek NT, the Latin Vulgate was translated.
Much later in the 10th Century, Phariseeic scholars called the ’Masoretes’ used the Greek Septuagint to reverse engineer from a family of languages that are Semitic. With the original Hebrew OT being lost, the Masoretes depended on the existing Afroasiatic language family (Arabic) and Aramaic to successfully 'revive' a dead language.
Even Wikipedia admits to modern Hebrew as being a revived dead language.
The original written Hebrew had only consonants and it depended on an oral tradition of learned scholars to know what the words meant. The Masoretes created a new written 'Hebrew' that had vowel points. These vowel points are any of a group of auxiliary symbols, as small lines and dots, placed above or below consonant symbols to indicate vowels in a writing system.
Arabic uses vowel points.
The Masoretes finished translating the New Hebrew version from the Septuagint in the 10th Century AD. The Masoretic Text, as it is called, was accepted as being the basis of all Protestant Bibles. In the same period, it was used as a source, along with later Greek Texts (such as the Miniscules, etc.) as the basis for the Textus Receptus. From the Masoretic Text, the King James Version was transliterated.
This information can all be verified with some research.
Men will plan, God will decide. The return of the Jewish people to Israel was an amazing event foretold by Scripture. However, the letter you share reveals nothing nefarious about this at all. As one minor clarification, you will note that the term "Zionism" was not considered pejorative (critical) until more recently. As Rothschild was a wealthy man, it makes complete sense that he would be informed of these developments. Ultimately, the historical record shows that Rothschild did nothing to help Jews by creating Israel. It took WWII--many years later--and the evils of Hitler to get the world to act. Had Rotschild done what he should have done originally--i.e., had he not been so evil--the murder of millions of Jews by Hitler may never have happened.
Some background information from Wiki:
The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British government in 1917 during the First World War announcing support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population. The declaration was contained in a letter dated 2 November 1917 from the United Kingdom's Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. The text of the declaration was published in the press on 9 November 1917.
Immediately following their declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire in November 1914, the British War Cabinet began to consider the future of Palestine; within two months a memorandum was circulated to the Cabinet by a Zionist Cabinet member, Herbert Samuel, proposing the support of Zionist ambitions in order to enlist the support of Jews in the wider war. A committee was established in April 1915 by British Prime Minister H. H. Asquith to determine their policy towards the Ottoman Empire including Palestine. Asquith, who had favoured post-war reform of the Ottoman Empire, resigned in December 1916; his replacement David Lloyd George favoured partition of the Empire. The first negotiations between the British and the Zionists took place at a conference on 7 February 1917 that included Sir Mark Sykes and the Zionist leadership. Subsequent discussions led to Balfour's request, on 19 June, that Rothschild and Chaim Weizmann submit a draft of a public declaration. Further drafts were discussed by the British Cabinet during September and October, with input from Zionist and anti-Zionist Jews but with no representation from the local population in Palestine.
By late 1917, in the lead up to the Balfour Declaration, the wider war had reached a stalemate, with two of Britain's allies not fully engaged: the United States had yet to suffer a casualty, and the Russians were in the midst of a revolution with Bolsheviks taking over the government. A stalemate in southern Palestine was broken by the Battle of Beersheba on 31 October 1917. The release of the final declaration was authorised on 31 October; the preceding Cabinet discussion had referenced perceived propaganda benefits amongst the worldwide Jewish community for the Allied war effort.
The opening words of the declaration represented the first public expression of support for Zionism by a major political power. The term "national home" had no precedent in international law, and was intentionally vague as to whether a Jewish state was contemplated. The intended boundaries of Palestine were not specified, and the British government later confirmed that the words "in Palestine" meant that the Jewish national home was not intended to cover all of Palestine. The second half of the declaration was added to satisfy opponents of the policy, who had claimed that it would otherwise prejudice the position of the local population of Palestine and encourage antisemitism worldwide by "stamping the Jews as strangers in their native lands". The declaration called for safeguarding the civil and religious rights for the Palestinian Arabs, who composed the vast majority of the local population, and also the rights and political status of the Jewish communities in other countries outside of Palestine. The British government acknowledged in 1939 that the local population's views should have been taken into account, and recognised in 2017 that the declaration should have called for the protection of the Palestinian Arabs' political rights.
The declaration had many long-lasting consequences. It greatly increased popular support for Zionism within Jewish communities worldwide, and became a core component of the British Mandate for Palestine, the founding document of Mandatory Palestine, which later became Israel and the Palestinian territories. As a result, it is considered a principal cause of the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict, often described as the world's most intractable conflict. Controversy remains over a number of areas, such as whether the declaration contradicted earlier promises the British made to the Sharif of Mecca in the McMahon–Hussein correspondence.
As I noted Rothschild like Soros abandoned the Jewish people and all principle for money. Rothschild could have helped the Jews establish Israel but he did not. He did nothing. Hitler had to act before the Jews would receive a homeland.
Jesus chose 12 Jewish disciples 1 of whom betrayed him. The others were Saints! Supporting Israel is the cause of freedom and a key American 🇺🇸 priority. If we ever abandon Israel 🇮🇱 America will fall
Not to burst your bubble, but your post is silly on multiple accounts. First of all, the number 6.6 lacks any negative spiritual connotation. Second, when the 666 does finally arrive in our midst--and it does not appear too far off indeed, in light of COVID and multiple tech advances that make such a mark feasible--it will usher in the antichrist, who will......DRUM BEATS.....HATE Israel with a fervent passion. You need to get your Bible's out, dust off the cover and read how Jesus comes to save Israel at the Battle of Armageddon. Prior to the Battle of Armageddon Israel and God's Chosen People (the Jews) will be subjected to far worse horrors than any ever planned or implemented by Hitler. While the anti-christ will seek to kill Christians, who I regret to inform you WILL very much be here during that period (no vanishing), he will persecute the Jews and Israel with tremendous passion--given that he is from hell.
The Israel that people like you defend is not the Israelite's God speaks of defending. The entity you see over there created by England who was at the mercy of Jewish bankers is the "Synagogue of Satan" Jesus speaks of very clearly.
Israel is a death state behind every degenerate vehicle used to transform the world into demon worshiping homosexual cultists.
You need to dust off your Bible and get to reading the truth. If you think some Ashkenazi gremlins are God's chosen people you've fallen for that Evangelical brainwashing the likes of Billy Graham introduced to America.
Israel is our number 1 enemy. The worlds enemy in fact.
........
israel/jews could not be any more anti-Christ than right now. Christians are being targeted for extermination around the world.
Nearly 200k Christians in Israel, and the community growing rapidly. Christianity is under attack from global atheism (China and the US) and Islam. Might want to do your own research. Emotions are rarely a reliable indicator of fact vs. fiction. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israels-christian-community-is-growing-84-satisfied-with-life-here-report/
The Central Bureau of Statistics reported at the end of 2019 that the Christian population of Israel was approximately 177,000, or 2% of the overall population.

Israeli Christians are historically bound with neighbouring Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian Christians.

That's a lot of information for stating Christians are only 2% of the population. Prior to 1947, it was 7%.

Immediately following their declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire in November 1914, the British War Cabinet began to consider the future of Palestine; within two months a memorandum was circulated to the Cabinet by a Zionist Cabinet member, Herbert Samuel, proposing the support of Zionist ambitions in order to enlist the support of Jews in the wider war. A committee was established in April 1915 by British Prime Minister H. H. Asquith to determine their policy towards the Ottoman Empire including Palestine. Asquith, who had favoured post-war reform of the Ottoman Empire, resigned in December 1916; his replacement David Lloyd George favoured partition of the Empire. The first negotiations between the British and the Zionists took place at a conference on 7 February 1917 that included Sir Mark Sykes and the Zionist leadership. Subsequent discussions led to Balfour's request, on 19 June, that Rothschild and Chaim Weizmann submit a draft of a public declaration. Further drafts were discussed by the British Cabinet during September and October, with input from Zionist and anti-Zionist Jews but with no representation from the local population in Palestine.
By late 1917, in the lead up to the Balfour Declaration, the wider war had reached a stalemate, with two of Britain's allies not fully engaged: the United States had yet to suffer a casualty, and the Russians were in the midst of a revolution with Bolsheviks taking over the government. A stalemate in southern Palestine was broken by the Battle of Beersheba on 31 October 1917. The release of the final declaration was authorised on 31 October; the preceding Cabinet discussion had referenced perceived propaganda benefits amongst the worldwide Jewish community for the Allied war effort.
The opening words of the declaration represented the first public expression of support for Zionism by a major political power. The term "national home" had no precedent in international law, and was intentionally vague as to whether a Jewish state was contemplated. The intended boundaries of Palestine were not specified, and the British government later confirmed that the words "in Palestine" meant that the Jewish national home was not intended to cover all of Palestine. The second half of the declaration was added to satisfy opponents of the policy, who had claimed that it would otherwise prejudice the position of the local population of Palestine and encourage antisemitism worldwide by "stamping the Jews as strangers in their native lands". The declaration called for safeguarding the civil and religious rights for the Palestinian Arabs, who composed the vast majority of the local population, and also the rights and political status of the Jewish communities in other countries outside of Palestine. The British government acknowledged in 1939 that the local population's views should have been taken into account, and recognised in 2017 that the declaration should have called for the protection of the Palestinian Arabs' political rights.
The declaration had many long-lasting consequences. It greatly increased popular support for Zionism within Jewish communities worldwide, and became a core component of the British Mandate for Palestine, the founding document of Mandatory Palestine, which later became Israel and the Palestinian territories. As a result, it is considered a principal cause of the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict, often described as the world's most intractable conflict. Controversy remains over a number of areas, such as whether the declaration contradicted earlier promises the British made to the Sharif of Mecca in the McMahon–Hussein correspondence.
The sources you cite do not even qualify as speculation. Baseless, illogical and counter factual
As I noted Rothschild like Soros abandoned the Jewish people and all principle for money. Rothschild could have helped the Jews establish Israel but he did not. He did nothing. Hitler had to act before the Jews would receive a homeland.
Jesus chose 12 Jewish disciples 1 of whom betrayed him. The others were Saints! Supporting Israel is the cause of freedom and a key American 🇺🇸 priority. If we ever abandon Israel 🇮🇱 America will fall
