With the Palestinian Civil War now entering its 9th month and world opinion turning decisively against the Zionist Regime, the Woke Republicans are finding themselves on the wrong side of history yet again. Their aggressive crackdowns on protests and embracing DEI Programs for (certain) Jews is creating a popular backlash at home, while the great Neocon hero, Netanyahu is apparently having trouble containing even the Israeli population. The Controlled opposition, naturally is doubling-down, with the Congressional Party poobahs McConnell and Johnson staging a publicity stunt inviting the Zionist Head-of-State to speak before Congress.
Throughout the 2024 Election Cycle, the Republicans have suffered from both a lack of any substance and, aside from President-in-Exile Trump, a lack of any candidates. Cynically, they had hoped to turn the bloodbath in Palestine to their political advantage. However, with the Pentagon-trained and equipped IDF making (to put it mildly) only modest gains on the battlefield punctuated with some of the most barbaric atrocities, only the True Believers and moneyed Megachurches can get much of hearing these days. Corrupt defense contractors are still quite supportive too.
The wicked doctrines of American Megachurches have been the mainstay of Zionist support. John MacArthur, one of the ringleaders of American Churchianity and notorious anti-Catholic bigot took to the airwaves this weekend on Ben Shapiro's show. Shapiro himself is largely funded by a cultish Megachurch; and he and MacArthur indulged in a near-psychopathic 'Biblical' justification for Zionist genocide.
"Now, you might not like the fact that God is a judge but when God determines that I'm going to protect my People Israel and you're going to attack My People Israel, I have a plan for My People Israel, as the New Testament says, so all Israel will be saved, there's coming a kingdom he will fulfill every promise he ever gave ... God is going to preserve that people and if you are a threat to that people, historically speaking, God says you need to be removed." MacArthur pontificated. Like most his stripe and despite his pride in his supposedly superior intellect, MacArthur hasn't figured out that the Jewish faith and the State of Israel are two different things. The modern State of Israel wasn't founded by God; it was founded by the United Nations shortly after the Second World War.
MacArthur also doesn't seem to realize that the 'Amalekites' whom the Chosen People are supposedly fighting haven't existed since the Assyrian Empire conquered the region. "You also know in the Old Testament, God said to the children of Israel when you go into the land destroy the Amalekites, destroy them, because I'm bringing judgment down on their heads for for their sins -- I mean they're like a cancer in the world," the old hypocrite further affirmed. Palestine actually takes its name from the Philistines, who settled in the Gaza region from Crete about the same time as the Hebrew conquest of Canaan, another fact that seems to have escaped MacArthur's attention.
Being a spiritual ignoramus is bad enough, but when it causes willful blindness toward a savage anti-Christian Regime committing some of the most revolting barbarities in modern history, the ideology he promotes becomes a positive danger to humanity. MacArthur is just as stupid as some of the Whacko Left during the 1970s who were apologizing for the Khmer Rouge. Shapiro added some of his deep ethical insight, saying: "The fact that there are so many people in the West who seem to lack moral clarity in what is easily the most morally clear conflict of our time is a source of astonishment to me but I think really can only be explained by, again, an anti-Biblical perspective that substitutes a narrative of victimology in favor of a narrative of right and wrong."
Is this the language of a follower of Christ? They frankly sound like the sentiments of a Nazi, but they're coming from a 'Conservative' pundit and a 'Christian' pastor. These are the same crowd, incidentally, who accuse those who oppose the Zionists of engaging in Blood Libel. Meanwhile, they adduce a tribal war that happened 3,000 years ago as a justification---a Biblical justification---for exterminating an entire populace today.
It is no argument to say---as many of these 'Alpha' theologians do today---that Moses, Joshua, and Samuel ordered such actions at God's command and people today are too soft to follow their example. We have little explanation in the Old Testament as to why these prophets thought such drastic action necessary, but the Canaanites are depicted as an extremely degenerate and vicious race (e.g. the story of Sodom and Gomorrah). Moses addresses the Hebrews in Deuteronomy as follows: “After the Lord your God has driven them out before you, do not say to yourself, ‘The Lord has brought me here to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.’ No, it is on account of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is going to drive them out before you. It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take possession of their land; but on account of the wickedness of these nations, the Lord your God will drive them out before you...and after they have been destroyed before you, be careful not to be ensnared by inquiring about their gods, saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods? We will do the same.’ You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.” The prophecies of Amos and Isaiah strongly imply that God approved of the aforementioned Philistines and other of Ancient Israel's neighbors having done the same to the Canaanites.
With that in mind, Churchians should ask themselves: which side of the current conflict in Palestine is doing things like burning children in the fire, worshiping strange gods, and boasting that their righteousness entitles them to the land? Hint: it's not the Palestinians. They ought also to reflect that Moses says in the same speech: “When you father children and children’s children, and have grown old in the land, if you act corruptly by making a carved image in the form of anything, and by doing what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, so as to provoke him to anger, I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess. You will not live long in it, but will be utterly destroyed.” So much for the 'Chosen People.'
These sectaries with their Prosperity Gospels, Christian Nationalism, Christian Zionism, etc. are false teachers. They are exploiters of the very realistic fears many of us feel for the decline of our culture; but what they offer is a delusion; and worse, they encourage Christians to commit evil and very foolish actions. Their major flaw is their belief that they can influence God's Will by their own actions; which, of course, is the worship of the Self. In their theological schemes, they seem to imagine God as some great CEO of the Universe who rewards managers who turn a profit for his Corporation and doesn't mind ruthless business tactics as means to that end.
In times of crisis such as we're facing in America today, we must be on especial guard against charlatans and false teachers. Instead, we must rely upon our faith and traditions more than ever if we hope to get through them successfully.
Sometimes when all these weird tribal allegiances get to be too much. I hang out with the older locals who drop some great wisdom on me. Both Shapiro and MacArthur are "Californians" which means complete weirdos, if not downright evil. You could be Jewish, conservative, Christian, doesn't matter, if you're from California you clearly have no redeeming qualities and should be completely disregarded and if possible, promptly deported.
ReplyDeleteMany Biblical (and Hebrew scholars) have extensively researched the Amalekites and there are diverse opinions and a variety of rather interesting explanations. Their memory was to be "blotted out," which in the West is sometimes (falsely) taken literally, as in wiped off the planet. That is my biggest concern with many modern Western Christians of the MacArthur or Wilson type, they have no concept of the complexity of the Bible, poetic language, analogies, metaphors. Not everything is to be taken in a cut and dry, literal manner. "Am I my brother's keeper" for example, is not a commandment at all, but a statement that must be taken in context within the whole tale.
From what I've been able to find, the Amelekites were less of a nation and more of a gang like the drug-lords in Mexico or the Somali pirates who operated in a disputed border area and preyed on the surrounding communities. That's why the Assyrians finally wiped them out. Ancient Egypt used to send expeditions against them sometimes as well.
DeleteThe Wilson and MacArthur types, along with Jewish Zionists like Shapiro and Prager, cherry-pick parts of the Bible and build whole doctrines on them. The dangerous thing is that they have such large followings with money to back them up that they represent all Christians and Jews in the public mind; and worse they gain political clout. Part of DeSantis' phony public-school 'reforms' was signing a contract with PragerU allowing them to spread their poisonous doctrines in schools.
