a reply to: SenterSunPaul was predicting that there would be a large scale conversion of Jews to Christianity, which happened shortly after his saying so.
Any Christian who has anything bad to say about Israel needs to read Romans 11 right now, before your mouth gets you in big trouble with The Man Upstairs...
What we have today is the appearance that such a thing never happened, because there was in 700 AD a large scale conversion of the Khazars pagans to Judaism with the help of Talmudic rabbis from Baghdad.
Paul did not have in mind the situation of Caucasian former pagans going through Lithuania and Poland and Germany to Palestine and creating a Zionist regime calling itself, Israel.

I've never been religious or taken any interest in it, but when you put it like that with the tension that's building up, inevitability the lid's going to pop off. I mean, history has been shown to repeat itself in some aspects, maybe the US arming all these middle eastern countries is the downfall of the great empire. Sends aid to syria and lybia and it's spent on weapons and amring Al-ciada, recently signs an $11b weapon deal with Qatar and plans to sell 5,00 hellfire missiles to Iraq and only today I think plans to fund Israel for ammunition...Didn't they condemn them for f*ucking # up last week?
I can just see it back firing, and this isn't even considering Russia. Where do they fall in place? Are there any connections with the Ukraine civil war and this terrorist tension up in the Middle East?
What you are talking about is theories.
So when God supernaturally protects the Nation of Israel in Ezekiel, the current nation of Israel, from attack, that's just 'symbolism'? I dont think so.
Or what about Isaiah 13, where God turns his wrath FROM Israel in the last days and places it upon Babylon, which IS the United States.

Specifically, Dispensationalism.
God did not protect the modern so-called Israel, that was the US.
America is not Babylon.
The prophecies in the Old Testament were about the second temple period, the return of the Jews from the Babylonian exile.
They don't have anything to do with what is happening now.
That's a theory and it was made up to support Dispensationalism.
Isaiah 13 is a duel prophecy,
I think that already happened. I think prophecy culminated in the Christian Age.
As in the days of Noah, so will the days of the coming of the Son of Man be.

I've heard ideas like "the jews control the world" or the money in the world...
they have some sort of plan to rule the world... etc etc...
I've never understood why people hate them so... aside from hearsay
Now let me make this very clear... Im not trying to figure out why I should hate them... I hate no one...
Im not looking for a war of words in this thread... OR for people to start throwing scripture at me... I know scripture all too well
The Jews are "gods" chosen people... at least that is when their books claim...
They've been through lots of crap in the past few millennia... That hitler guy wanted them all dead, even though he was partially jewish
Now im seeing a revival of that movement in the news it seems
I can't say that I've ever met a jewish person in my life as far as I can remember... so maybe someone who is a little more worldly then I, can explain this.... perhaps we can all learn something as well
So... someone please tell me...
Why all the hate?
**WARNING**
This is probably a sensitive topic...
Keep it civil please... No one needs to get banned for a discussion
Zionism (Hebrew: צִיּוֹנוּת, translit. Tsiyonut) is a nationalist movement of Jews and Jewish culture that supports the creation of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the Land of Israel.[1] A religious variety of Zionism supports Jews upholding their Jewish identity, opposes the assimilation of Jews into other societies and has advocated the return of Jews to Israel as a means for Jews to be a majority in their own nation, and to be liberated from antisemitic discrimination, exclusion, and persecution that had historically occurred in the diaspora.[1] Zionism emerged in the late 19th century in central and eastern Europe as a national revival movement, and soon after this most leaders of the movement associated the main goal with creating the desired state in Palestine, then an area controlled by the Ottoman Empire.[2][3][4] Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Zionist movement continues primarily to advocate on behalf of Israel and address threats to its continued existence and security. In a less common usage, the term may also refer to non-political, cultural Zionism, founded and represented most prominently by Ahad Ha'am; and political support for the State of Israel by non-Jews, as in Christian Zionism.
Defenders of Zionism say it is a national liberation movement for the repatriation of a dispersed socio-religious group to what they see as an abandoned homeland millennia before.[5][6][7] Critics of Zionism see it as a colonialist[8] or racist[9] ideology that led to the denial of rights, dispossession and expulsion of the "indigenous population of Palestine
What would you think if the US gov. started a policy of just shooting anyone illegally crossing the border into Texas from Mexico?
For the record, I'd like to see peace and no elimination of Israel.
If the US gov. wasn't already infiltrated by banker agents, after the banking scandal of 2008, all the wall Street bankers responsible would have all gone to prison.
Maybe if you read about their former expulsions from many other countries throughout history it may help you in your quest.

And what if the justification is that the Americans that came to this continent from Europe were the true inheritors of the land to create a Protestant new Jerusalem for the thousand years to allow Jesus to return?
Are you suggesting "Zionism" isn't "Jewish" ?
You probably didn't see my post on the "Israel admits HAMAS didn't kidnap the 3 Israeli teens after all" thread, where I was quoting the statistics, one being that there was one death (I suppose the bomber himself) in Feb. 2008, by a suicide bomber, being the only one for that year, and none since.
Would the US government be responding to series of attacks by suicide bombers?

Back in the day, the expulsions were the result of the collapse of similar pyramid schemes perpetrated when Jews were allowed into a country.
