"I know your affliction and your poverty, even though you are rich.
I know the slander on the part of those who say that they are Jews
and are not,
but are a synagogue of Satan". [Rev 2:9; 3: 9]
The name, Israel,
evokes several ideas, and inspires lost memories, but primarily the
name, Israel, recalls us to the Bible. Through the centuries
of history until today we are still dealing with the Jewish
issue. But before we enter into the Jewish issue,
I will trace a brief history of it.
Judaism:
the term appears (in Greek) in 2 Macc 2:21; 8:1; 14:38 (see Appendix
1) Jews: a national-ethnic and subsequently, religious
designation for the people of the Judean state or province and their
Diaspora. The title became common only after the
Babylonian exile (586 B.C.) In the NT it is frequently used to
distinguish the descendants of Israel from proselytes, Samaritans,
and Gentiles. (Harper Collins Bible Dictionary, Ed.
Paul J. Achtemeier.)
As I see it, Judaism is an historical phenomenon, since the
Babylonian exile (586-520 B.C.) The people of Juda &
Benjamin, from the Kingdom of the South (Jerusalem) lived for over
60 years in a foreign land without their Temple,
because the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 586 by
Nebuchadnezzar. That is the period when Judaism
started in Babylon and consequently the Synagogue appeared
for the first time in the Jewish tradition.
The people of Juda - from whom the words "Judaism" and
"Jews" originated - took a turn from dispersed and exiled
people, to a new and organized religious type. (See Pharisaism,
Synod, and The Great Synagogue, Encyclopedia Britannica)
Also, in Babylon, the infiltration of Chaldean (pagan)
religions started within the "Jewish" circle. The
Talmudic tradition, with the Cabbala, an ancient Gnostic
religion, developed almost in the same period.
The Talmud
has been the oral tradition of the "Jewish" people (until it
became a written text, between the fourth and the fifth century
A.D.) It is my belief that Jewish tradition and the
Talmud, and subsequently the Cabbala, are synonyms.
Now, to understand the Jewish issue we must answer
four questions: 1) Who are the Jews? 2) What
do they believe? 3) Are they all blood-related to Abraham,
the father of the chosen People? and finally,
4) Was Jesus Christ a Jew?
As we have seen, the name "Jew" originated less than 600
years B.C. Since then, this name has been used
indiscriminately, regardless of whether or not it was appropriate
for the people for whom it was used. Before that time, the people
of Israel were called Israelites or Hebrews (see
Gen14:13; cf. Gen10:21) So the answer to the first question is:
everybody born from a Jewess mother - even when the father is
a goy - is a Jew There are three categories of Jews: the
Sephardim, the Ashkenazi, and the Zionists.
The latter group is composed mainly of the second category, the
Ashkenazi, descendants of the Khazars [see note 'K
' below] , who originally came from East Europe, Russia [see below,
Map of the Nation of Khazaria].
Among the Jewish society nowadays, we have Jews
who are not of the Semitic lineage, i.e. from Abraham. History tells
us that the Ashkenazi (the Khazars) converted to Judaism
from Paganism in the seventh century A.D. (see The
Thirteenth Tribe, Arthur Koestler; Israel, Our Duty…Our Dilemma
p 297 ff, Theodore Winston Pike; and The Life of an American
Jew in a Racist Marxist Israel, Jack Berstein.)
Therefore the Ashkenazi Jews are not
blood-related to the Semitic lineage [see
map].
They are, however, the
majority (about 80 %), of the Jewish population in the world
today. Nevertheless, we cannot say that the Ashkenazi aren't
Jews because of their origin. They are Jews,
converted Jews, if you like, but still Jews.
The Sephardim are Jews from the Semitic group,
and they are blood-related to Abraham. This group, though,
do not play an important part within Judaism, or in world
affairs - most Orthodox Jews are in this category.
Many people think that all Jewish people are believers in
God, and are followers of the Mosaic Law, i.e. the Torah.
Actually, that is far from the truth. Most of them are
atheists - in particular among the Ashkanazi, but more so
among the Zionists, who are the most revolutionary,
Marxist-minded of all ( see World Revolution, The Plot
Against Civilisation", Nesta Webster.)
With regard to the fourth question, I think that Jesus Christ was
not a Jew (in the sense of follower of the Talmudic
tradition), as most Christians believe He was (see Appendix 2).
As we read the four gospels, we see clearly that Jesus was an
Israelite, a descendant of the tribe of Juda through Mary, his
mother, and Joseph, who plays the role of putative father to
Jesus. Most of all the accusations and disputes brought against
Jesus by the Jews (read Pharisees, Scribes, Sadducees) were based on
the Talmudic tradition (see Matt 15:1-20; Mk 7:1-20; cf. Mt
23) and not on the Mosaic Law, the Torah.
A word about Zionism is needed to complete this picture of
this Israel and the Jewish Issue. According to Nesta Webster,
the author of several books,
as well as The Oxford English Encyclopedic Dictionary, the
Zionist movement was founded in the nineteenth century by
Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), a "Zionist writer, a Hungarian-born
Jew. He worked for most of his life as a writer and journalist in
Vienna, advocating the establishment of a Jewish State in
Palestine and building up the Zionist movement of which he was the
most influential statesman."
Nesta Webster, and many others (see Bibliography), states that
Zionism is based on Fabian Humanistic Marxist
philosophy. This philosophy has been the blueprint of all
twentieth century revolutions, acts of terrorism, and the
quasi-destruction of Christian civilization around the world.
Whether this happened in Europe, in Russia, in China, in America, in
Africa, or in particular in Palestine, there was the long hand of
the Talmudic-Zionist power behind the scene (see THE HELLMAKERS,
John C. Grover).
Most of the books I have read state that the Zionist movement
is driven by one great plan, that is, the establishment of the
Messianic (read naturalistic, secular) World Order.
Today we are in the process of globalization.
We have swallowed the propaganda, dished up by the
media, of the so-called International Community (the United
Nations being its main agent). This globalization tells us that the
New Messianic Order (New World Order or
the International Republic) with its center of power the Zionist
bankers of Wall Street, in New York, and their mignons, have
acquired almost total control of our lives.
Thank God that this power-elite, the Zionists, are only
humans like you and me. They are fallen creatures, and
ultimately God and His Son, Jesus Christ, will win (see Rev.13-22;
cf. Mt. 28:18-20.)
One last question: who condemned Jesus Christ to death on the
cross? The answer is the Jews, and by Jews I mean the
Sanhedrin (see Mt 26:59), which was composed of Caiaphas, the high
priest, the elders, the scribes, and the Pharisees.
According to John's Gospel, all those who opposed Jesus and
condemned him from the Beginning to His death on the cross,
were Jews. As for the Ashkenazi, they had not yet appeared
on the scene.
The irony of history is that Israel should have recognized
Jesus as the Messiah, according the Scriptures, but did not.
The Jews, who represented Israel in Jesus time, did
not recognize Him as the Messiah. But the Gentiles, who
didn't have any part in this, accepted Him as their Savior and
Messiah. The Ashkenazi were Gentile (pagan) until
they converted to Judaism about 700 A.D. Since then they
adopted the name of Jew.
Today they are predominant among the Jews. Not all of them of
course, but some of these Ashkenazi Jews are the most
powerful people on earth. This group of power brokers has
almost total control in the world of finance (Wall Street), in
politics (foreign affairs, United Nations, White House), in trade &
commerce (WTO, WEF, World Bank, IMF). Ultimately, these power
brokers are trying to establish their type of messianism on
earth, The New World Order. (see The Rulers of Russia,
pps.71-73 , Rev. Denis Fahey)
But are they going to succeed? That is the big question.

APPENDIX 1
Judaism
The name, "Judaism", occurred for the first time in 2
Macc. 2: 21; 8:1; 14:38 (page 1) Through the years, from the
Babylonian exile to Jesus' time, the monotheistic religion of the
chosen People of Israel became contaminated by spurious elements
from the various mystery cults of Babylonian gnosticism. The
Cabbala was part of them. The Torah was no longer the
Book for the People of God, and subsequently a new tradition
started: the Talmudic tradition, which often was, and still
is, in contradiction to the Mosaic Law (cf. Matt15:1-20; Mk
7:1-20.)

APPENDIX 2
"The heritage of a
Judaeo-Christian Tradition"
The expression, "the heritage of a Judeo-Christian tradition", is
often used, whether in writing or verbally, within the Christian
context. I believe its use indicates historical ignorance.
There is no such thing as "Judeo-Christian tradition" within
Christianity.
As I have already stated, Judaism developed during the
sixty-six years of the Babylonian exile. Before that period,
Israel followed the Mosaic Law (the Torah)
and not the tradition of the elders (the Talmud
and the Cabbala). The Talmud and the Mosaic Law are in
direct contradiction of each other. In Acts 11, we see what
the first Council in Jerusalem was about, and how different is
Christianity from Judaism. They are like chalk and cheese.
Judaism
is a relatively late historical phenomenon within Israel.
Allegorically, I could compare Judaism (Talmud &
Cabbala and other Gnostic philosophies) to a new branch
grafted to an old tree, Israel.
On the other hand Christianity is the new tree of Jesus
Christ and His Church (see John 15.)
