[Canadian] police announced Nov. 14, [2013] the arrest of almost 350 people and the rescue of over 400 children.
The international network of child porn producers and distributors was directed by the International Jewish mob. The key protagonists in this particular case are Markus Roth of Germany and Brian Way of Canada...
[Roth] carried out such activities with former KGB Soviet Ukrainian Jewish spy Igor Rusanov, who was arrested in 2011. Rusanov is said to have had sex with many of the boys. Rusanov is suspected of having links to the Russian-Israeli Mafia. Their company (AZOV FILMS) client list resulted in many arrests.
EDIT: Please be aware that I have nothing against Jewish people. The Lord Jesus Christ is Jewish and will reign as King of Israel. However, it does not make sense to see the Jewish deep state commit crimes against children and not be able to talk about it.
Satan is presently the god of this world, so I think he's intentionally put Jews in key positions of power in order to then pull the veil off and turn the whole world against the Jews as a whole. The Bible says in the last days the Antichrist will lead the world to war against Israel, so it kind of makes sense that Jews would be put into positions of power to stir up such a war. All we need now is the world's population united and hatred of the Jews to spread and the tribulation stage is set.
You're absolutely on the money. Satan's plan uses the Jewish mob to destroy all the rest of the Jewish people.
There's an interesting argument to be made by some biblical scholors that the Isreal of the Bible is the United States because of lineage of the migrating people. The Isreal you refer to would be the country populated by judeans who confusingly labeled themselves Isreal instead of judeah according to the link I pasted below.
I dont know if it's right but hey check out that dig. It was an interesting read some else posted that I read the other night. It would make sense that the world would turn against us too I cant argue this with any authority but thought I'd share.

I think the link misinterprets the "gathering out of many nations" and stretches way too far to the "melting pot" idea. It's the opposite as only one race is gathered out of many nations back to Israel. The Jewish Old Testament doesn't end with Malachi like our Bible does, but instead 2 Chronicles, which ends with a calling of the Jewish people back to their homeland. It makes perfect sense that shortly after the Jewish nation is restored the people would flock back.
Replacement theology goes counter to the Church Age gospel. It implies God rejects Israel due to their sin, but Christians believe God won't reject us due to our sin.
Spiritualizing things when the literal interpretation makes perfect sense opens the door to spiritualizing any verse in the Bible, which in turn opens the door to people interpreting differently and undermining the very authority the Bible claims to have. It's a dangerous hermeneutic. What stops someone from spiritualizing the very gospel? I've heard "If literal sense makes perfect sense don't add your two cents lest you end up with nonsense."
There are plenty of specific verses having to do with Jerusalem and Judea geographically in end times. Even in Revelation it specifies the 144,000 will come out of 12 tribes which are named. I think using common sense on when to spiritualize is best. i.e. Jesus is "the door" but obviously not made of wood, but if the 12 tribes in Revelation are named specifically then we can assume they are the 12 tribes.
I agree that almost all history in the OT is typology for future events. In a sense, most of the Old Testament hasn't even happened yet as weird as that sounds. However, God thinks less than nothing of nations and in Jeremiah it's prophesied that the nations containing Jews at the end times will be destroyed. Presently, the USA has the most Jews aside from Israel, so I'd say that combined with our national apostasy has pretty much sealed our fate as far as that goes.
Like I said I know nothing. The article did state Isreal was a people and not a nation though to your last point. They traced the lineage of the tribes through history to see where they ended up and discussed how judeans went back to Judea ie isreal. You are probably right and I re a lly wish I could discuss with you on the level you wrote above, but I stopped reading the Bible when I left catholicism at 18. I've only recently opened back up to God in the last few years and started praying again. I Cant speak on the Bible with anything more than a passing acquaintance.
That's a great start. Catholicism is not Christianity and they teach a different gospel. They made a wreck of me too and caused me to even hate what I thought was Christianity until I got saved at 17. I'd recommend getting a KJV(only version that isn't copyrighted or influenced by Catholic Church) and reading John and Romans.
If you're unsure you're saved or what is even required all you have to do is believe the gospel for the Church Age as Paul states in 1 Corinthians 15:
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Let no one tell you there is any other gospel or any other work to be added. The blood of Jesus is all we are to trust in. I hope you trust in it and get into the Bible.
Just a few months ago I led my mom to the Lord after Catholicism messed her up too. Even after you walk away a lot of Catholic "baggage" can linger in how we think. If you're ever not 100% sure you'll go to heaven feel free to DM me and I can talk you through it using scripture.
