Some may
think that I’m a “Jew-Hater” for saying that Babylon is Jerusalem. But,
actually, I do not hate Jews and there are born-again Jews who have been my
brothers and sisters throughout the years.
We are all
as an unclean thing. Not just the Jews. We all need salvation.
There have
been wonderful men of God throughout Jewish history, men full of faith and love
for God, from Joseph to King David and the prophets. These Jewish men of God
led the way for us. But some Jews backslid.
"He came unto
his own and His own received him not." John 1:11
By the time
Jesus came, the Jewish hierarchy had gotten so far off track that they did not recognize their own Messiah and they crucified him. Even Jesus told them in Matthew chapter 23
34
Wherefore, behold I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some
of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your
synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon
you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of
righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew
between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I
say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which
are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even
as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not.
Hebrews 8:8
For finding
fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will
make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Not
according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the days when I
took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they
continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this
is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,
saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their
hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
11 And they
shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying,
Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I
will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities
will I remember no more.
Hebrews 9
11 But
Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more
perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Neither
by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into
the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
We are all hopeless. Whether Jew, Greek, African, Spanish, Arab or what-have-you. There is no righteousness in the sons/daughters of Adam. And that's why Jesus was crucified. He crucified us with Him. We are dead to the law through the body of Christ.
So, if you look at it the way God sees it, the judgement of Jerusalem is a blessing.
