Jewish Holocaust

[PloughBoy]

Christians need to know that Auschwitz was the largest Nazi concentration camp in Europe during World War II. More than 1,100,000 men, women, and children lost their lives here.

Today is a solemn day of remembrance in Israel, Chris – Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day).

All over the nation, places of public entertainment are closed, and last night a state ceremony was held in the Warsaw Ghetto Square in Jerusalem to honor the Jewish people who perished at the hands of Nazi Germany.

The flag was lowered to half-staff, and prayers were recited. Six Holocaust survivors lit the six torches that symbolize the Six Million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust under Hitler's Final Solution.

And even though Israel is celebrating its 74th birthday this year, the sentiment is bittersweet. Former Israeli president Reuven Rivlen echoed these feelings at a previous memorial ceremony,

"You know better than anyone that the state of Israel is no compensation for the Holocaust. The Holocaust of the Jewish People threatened in the most tangible way our ancient vision, our 2,000-year-old vision for the return to Zion in Jerusalem. 2,000

"The final solution sought to bring an end to our national dream, and as such created the urgency to create an independent state of Israel."

The Nazis packed Jewish people like cattle into railroad cars as they shipped them to their final destination at labor andextermination camps. Those camps were part of Hitler's "Final Solution" to kill all of the Jewish People.

Those who arrived in the fledgling state of Israel in the 1940s from Europe were only a small remnant of the Jewish nation. Two-thirds of European Jewry and one-third of all world Jewry died in the Holocaust. Multiple tracks led from all over Europe to concentration camps like Auschwitz.

Jewish people were crammed into cattle cars and shipped to these death camps.

The Nazis intended that no one survive.

Many were gassed immediately upon arrival and their bodies burned in ovens. Those who were healthy enough to work when they arrived were literally worked to death.

The shoes of those Jewish souls who perished in Nazi death camps.

This horrible, unfathomable number — six million murdered — does not count the many Jewish children who will never be born because of this genocide.

Whole families were destroyed. Some Jewish people who came out of the Holocaust were the sole survivor of their families. They were left completely alone. Many communities were utterly erased.

Some of those who perished were the parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles of our Bibles for Israel Ministry staff.

May We Never Forget.

Take a moment to pray for the survivors and families of survivors, and the emotional scars they carry.

One has to ask, in point of fact there has been more than one rabbi ponder: How is
it that so many of Moses' people were caught up in the Holocaust? Where was God
during all that? Why didn't He step in and do something to protect His chosen
people like in the book of Esther?

To find an answer one need look no further than Ex 34:6-7, Lev 26:3-38, Deut
27:15-26, and Deut 28:1-69. In other words: the Jews, as a corporate people,
brought it on themselves in accordance with the covenant that their ancestors
agreed upon with God per Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

A covenant is essentially a contract. Well; if God were to fail to fulfill His end of the
agreement; then He would be in breach of contract; which is not only unethical, but
also uncivil. Long story short: the covenant requires Him to lower the boom on His
people for failure to honor their end of the agreement; and you can see the extent
of the damage for yourself in the scripture references in the above paragraph.

There are numerous blessings that God is contractually obligated to fulfill too; so
the covenant isn't all one-sided; viz: compliance with the covenant accrues
blessings; while breaching the covenant accrues curses. Anybody who has read the
Old Testament can attest that God came down on His own people quite often for
breaching the covenant; and just as often quite cruelly. The curses that Lev 26:3
38, Deut 27:15-26, and Deut 28:1-69 list are very disturbing; and when examining
them, one cannot help but realize they're reading a synopsis of the Jews' biblical
history.

The status of God's chosen people has its advantages; but also its disadvantages;
viz: the status of God's chosen people is not something to be proud of; but rather,
something to be afraid of because the covenant's God is not the kind of judge
influenced by favoritism. No; if anything, Moses' people run the risk of being judged
even more severely than Gentiles because of their privileged position and the
insider's knowledge they were given of His likes and dislikes.

• Amos 3:1-2 . . Hear this word that The Lord has spoken against you, O children of
Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:
You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you
for all your iniquities. (cf. Luke 12:42-48)

This is an ancient principle illustrated not only in the Jews' history, but also taught
by Christianity.

• Luke 12:47-48 . .That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready
or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the
one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with
few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and
from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be required.

If, a person is bless to understand that “GOD” is “SOVEREIGN” and Come to a understanding and has been saturated by The counsel of “The Old Testament” writings. And those writings has become a part of that person’s “being” and has Been Revealed in “The Revelation” of The “Christ of GOD”. The Conclusion for “Christ” He is “The Alpha & The Omega”.

So in Essence, what can “The Clay say to “Potter” why???

What, can “The slave” say to “The MASTER” what are you doing?

What, can The dirt say to the Molder what are you molding! And what methods are you using for “The Final Destination”.

Now this is not my flavor for I am nothing but mortal, which has a “finite mind” and I can never comprehend that which is incomprehensible pertaining to an “Infinite GOD”!

But one day at The “Coronation Table” and just maybe, in that 1/2 hour of complete Silence, after the mortals has put on “Immortality”, just maybe, all will might be revealed.

I hope I have answered your question. The best I could do, with a “Finite” mind.

Now, does this not make it plain as day.
That GOD gave them a “Covenant” that they could not keep, for a purpose.
6But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

A New Covenant

7For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. 8For finding fault with them, He says,
“BEHOLD, DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD,
WHEN I WILL EFFECT A NEW COVENANT
WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH;

9NOT LIKE THE COVENANT WHICH I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS
ON THE DAY WHEN I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND
TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT;
FOR THEY DID NOT CONTINUE IN MY COVENANT,
AND I DID NOT CARE FOR THEM, SAYS THE LORD.

10“FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL
AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:
I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS,
AND I WILL WRITE THEM UPON THEIR HEARTS.
AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD,
AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

11“AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN,
AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, ‘KNOW THE LORD,’
FOR ALL SHALL KNOW ME,
FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.

12“FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES,
AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.”

[not all but their iniquities]

13When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.”

And “One” must understand what a “True HEBREW” really is, “In THE SIGHT of GOD”

“For My Ways are Not Your Ways, My Thoughts are not like your Thoughts”

“I AM, THE ALMIGHTY GOD”!

And I ain’t speaking In “Tongues”! “I DO What I Want To Do! I AM who IAM! And I Do not answer to any man!

PS. Go over there and Talk to “JOB” he will tell you.

FAQ: Do you mean to say there are actually Christians out there believing it was
the Jews' own fault that they were rounded up like cattle, stripped of their dignity,
their property, their wealth, and their possessions, enslaved, starved, deprived of
basic human necessities, tortured, subjected to Frankenstein medical experiments,
worked to death, and gassed, shot, and incinerated by the millions?

REPLY: If the covenant that Moses' people agreed upon with God is binding; then
yes; the Jews, as a corporate people, are definitely at fault for what happened to
them.

The covenant obligates God to protect them from misfortune when they're
compliant with it; but the same time the covenant also obligates Him to lower the
boom on them when they're not compliant with it. There's really no mystery to this:
it's all spelled out in black and white at Ex 34:6-7, Lev 26:14-38, Deut 27:15-26,
and Deut 28:15-69. (cf. Deut 29:14-28)

If there is only one good thing to come out of the Holocaust is that it proves to the
world that God is reliable, viz: He can be trusted to honor His commitments.

If your are referring to me.

I don’t have to debated it. I know “The Book” and it is useless to discuss it along those who don’t know The “ETERNAL Book” as it should be known.

Futile it would be. So why corrupt each other’s time. When it can be spent in other areas of Probability.

 

[Beetow]

FAQ: How can it possibly be that God would cause an event whose collateral
damage led to the deaths of all those other people too besides the Jews?

REPLY: We're not saying God engineered the Holocaust. All we're saying is: He
stood by and did nothing to prevent a number of His own people being taken in it.
In other words: the essential thing that Moses' people brought upon themselves
was the loss of God's providence. I think God took advantage of Hitler's agenda as
an opportunity; viz: a convenient means of throwing His people to the wolves like
He did in the Old Testament with Nebuchadnezzar.
_

 

[Beetow]

FAQ: Supposing there is no one to blame for the loss of Jewish life in the Holocaust
but the Jews themselves? If so; then how many of them would've had to breach the
covenant to put them all in so much danger?

REPLY: It's surprising how few Jews it takes to ruin it for all the rest. For example
the incident at Ai in the 7th chapter of Joshua. The insubordination of one
insignificant Jewish man-- just one --caused God to stop assisting Joshua's army in
battle. As a result, 36 men were needlessly killed in action; and ultimately capital
punishment was inflicted upon not only the insubordinate man himself, but also his
sons and his daughters. God's accusation? "Israel has sinned" (Josh 7:11)

See that? God didn't accuse the perpetrator; no; He accused Israel. In other words:
in that particular incident; the sin of just one Jew under Joshua's command became
the sin of all the Jews under his command; viz: the whole kit and caboodle-- lock,
stock, and barrel; and Israel could proceed no further with its conquest of Canaan
until the guilty man was executed.

And then there's this incident:

• 2Sam 21:1 . . Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year
after year; and David sought the presence of the Lord. And the Lord said: It is for
Saul and his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.

Joshua agreed to a non-aggression pact with the Gibeonites during the conquest of
Canaan (Josh 9:3-16). Saul, when king, dishonored the pact. He apparently got
away with it; but not his countrymen, no; God slammed them for what Saul did;
and that posthumously.

I can't imagine what just one Jew would have to do in order to bring about the
deaths of six million of his fellows; but if a whole bunch of them throughout the
world were breaching the covenant all at the same time, I guess that could become
a sort of force-multiplier.

Another possibility is that the generation caught by the Holocaust, was caught not
only due to their own breaches of the covenant, but also due to breaches
committed by generations preceding them.

• Ex 34:6-7 . . Then The Lord passed by in front of Moses and proclaimed: The
Lord, The Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in
loving-kindness and truth; who keeps loving-kindness for thousands, who forgives
iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty
unpunished: visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren
to the third and fourth generations.

That statement is included in the covenant, so God is morally obligated to honor it
lest He be found in breach of contract. But it just goes to show that sins have a way
of snow-balling from one generation to the next till the snowball is so big that it
triggers an act of God; which is disturbing because it tells me that it's not
impossible that the Jews of today are endangering the Jews of tomorrow by their
current breaches of the covenant-- breaches that according to Ex 34:6-7, God will
by no means sweep under the rug.

Wouldn't it be awful if the next Holocaust took place right inside the Jews' own
homeland? I sincerely believe that Saddam Hussein's SCUDS were a wake-up call.
Next time; incoming missiles just may contain nuclear warheads instead of high
explosives; and many among Moses' people will be poisoned to death with radiation
instead of pesticide.

* According to stats I found online: as of May 01, 2022, the State of Israel has
experienced 4,076,111 cases of Covid 19 resulting in 10,695 deaths; and a very
large percentage of those cases are fully vaccinated. Why hasn't their God's
covenanted providence been protecting His people from this new disease?

I believe it's okay to pity the Jews per Lam 1:12; but I do not believe it is
appropriate to let them get away with playing the victim all the time; the
meanwhile diverting attention away from their own chronic failure to honor the
covenant in a manner consistent with God's requirements.

[Beetow]

FAQ: If true that the Jews, as a people, brought the Holocaust upon themselves in
accordance with the language of the covenant that their ancestors agreed upon
with God; then why don't they own up to it instead of always going about playing
the victim and acting so indignant?

REPLY: Well; sad to say: the Jewish people, on the whole, are famous for their
obtuse attitudes; not only in the Bible; but in real life too. It's so common and so
chronic that we're forced to conclude that their attitudes are actually quite
systemic. Finding a Jew who will admit they are wrong-- wrong about anything --is
like searching for the Loch Ness monster and the lost city of Atlantis.

The average John Que and Jane Doe Jew is so defensive, so reactive, so stiff
necked, so adamant, so self-righteous, so arrogant, and so infected with a chosen
people superiority complex; that they simply cannot tolerate criticism; not even
criticism coming straight from the mouth of the very God with whom they boast an
elite association; for example:

• Zech 7:11-12 . . But they refused to listen; and they turned a rebellious shoulder;
and they made their ears heavy, not to hear. And they made their heart [as hard]
as a shamir, [in order] not to listen to the Torah and to the words that the Lord of
Hosts sent, through His spirit by the earlier prophets. And there was great anger
from the Lord of Hosts.

• Dan 9:5-6 . .We have sinned and have dealt iniquitously; we have dealt wickedly
and have rebelled, turning away from Your commandments and from Your
ordinances.

• Dan 9:10-11 . .And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, to
follow His teachings, which He placed before us by the hand of His servants, the
prophets. And all Israel have transgressed Your teaching, turning away, not
heeding Your voice, and the curse and the oath, which are written in the Law of
Moses, the servant of God, have befallen us, for we have sinned against Him.

Jews have been playing the victim card for decades, and getting away with it too;
so it really riles them whenever somebody dares to suggest that the misfortunes
that have overtaken them down through the years, as well as the problems that
plague them right now, are due to exactly what Daniel and Zechariah said. For
example:

The covenant that Moses' people agreed upon with God requires Him to preserve
peace in the land of Israel when His people are compliant. Well; the land has been
in a state of war since the day of its inception in 1948 and nobody is safe over
there; and were Israel not allied with the USA and Britain, I fear the Arab world
would crush it practically overnight.

The covenant also obligates God to restore Israel's borders when they are
compliant. Well; the State of Israel doesn't even have control over the Temple
Mount let alone its covenanted borders.

The covenant also obligates God to provide the State of Israel with abundant rain
when the people are compliant. Well; if not for ground water and desalination,
Israel wouldn't have much of an agriculture. Alas, the historical Jordan River has
been reduced to a toxic trickle of its former self because so much water is pumped
out of it for irrigation.
_

 

[Beetow]

Desalination is a desperate measure. Israel won't need it when God's covenanted
providence takes the reins in that land.

• Isa 35:6-7 . .Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the
haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.

Much of Israel today remains a barren desert. When God's providence kicks in, the
whole land will become arable.

• Isa 35:21-2 . .The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will
rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly
and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel
and Sharon; they will see the glory of The Lord, the excellency of our God.

Lebanon's glory of old was timber; especially cedars (1Kng 4:33). Sharon was
known for its flowers (Song 2:1) and Carmel for its orchards (Isa 33:9). How God
will get timber, flowers, and orchards to flourish in the Negev should be interesting.
_

 

[Beetow]

A number of observant Jews sincerely believe that the deaths of six million of their
fellows via German atrocities during the second world war satisfied certain
teachings and predictions in the 53rd chapter of Isaiah's prophecy. A rabbinic
interpretation of that chapter proposes, in so many words, that the fate of God's
people at the hands of Hitler's minions accomplished the salvation of the world.

The interpretation is a bit involved so I won't go into it here; but suffice to say that
the interpretation provides, for some, the only rational explanation as to why God
stood by and did nothing to prevent so many of His own people from being rounded
up like cattle, stripped of their dignity, their property, their wealth, and their
possessions, enslaved, starved, malnourished, deprived of basic human necessities,
tortured, subjected to Frankenstein medical experiments, worked to death, and
gassed, shot, and incinerated by the millions by Nazi mad men.

The error of that interpretation is so obvious that it's almost below me to point it
out; to wit: Judaism regards human sacrifice as a breach of the covenant that
Moses' people agreed upon with God; and also sincerely believes that human
sacrifice is an abomination.

There are astute Bible scholars of the opinion that the Jewish genocide of the last
century was only a taste of one to come in the future when a super powerful
political figure, known to just about everybody as the anti-Christ, will target God's
people with another mass extinction. They say his won't be confined to Europe like
the last one, but will encompass the entire globe so that Jews won't be safe
anywhere on the planet.

Those scholars also believe that the present State of Israel isn't permanent; but
that it will be conquered and the Jews lose control of their homeland all over again.
I don't know for myself whether those scholars are right, but if they are, then it
would appear that the future of God's people at this point in time is looking mighty
grim, to say the least.

It isn't unusual for Bible-teaching Christians to be accused of hate speech and/or
anti Semitism while Jehovah's very own criticisms, and the prophets' writings too,
contain far more. For example: the book of Isaiah opens with this:

• Isa 1:1-3 . . The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah
and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of
Judah. Hear O heavens! and give ear O earth! for The Lord has spoken. Children I
have raised and exalted, yet they have rebelled against Me. An ox knows his owner
and a donkey his master's crib; but Israel does not know, My people do not think.
about it.

Oxen and burros are well known for their below-average IQ; but in His indictment,
Jehovah complained that those two species of barnyard beasts of burden have
more brains than His own people when it comes to appreciating His providence; and
Jehovah's statement: "they have rebelled against me" mirrors the age-old
colloquialism of biting the hand that feeds you.

There are so many anti-Semitic comments and remarks throughout the book of
Isaiah that sometimes it's actually difficult to believe it wasn't penned by a
Palestinian instead of a patriot; and that's only Isaiah, some of the other prophets
are just as harsh.

NOTE: More than fifty percent of the Jews living in the State of Israel right now
today are hiloni (secular). In my estimation, that's easily enough insubordinate
Jews all in one place for God to justify bringing down the whole country; and then if
you combine those with the number of insubordinate Jews all 'round the globe,
including the USA; it's not difficult to appreciate just how insecure Israel's future
really is.

A co-worker once informed me that his Jewish wife was seriously considering
migrating to Israel to help with its reconstruction. I advised him to talk her out of it
because without Messiah on the throne, that place is not safe. Plus, the Jews' God
has an era scheduled for them called the time of Jacob's trouble when that land and
its people will experience woes far more severe than any before. In fact without
Messiah's intervention, and were not that time kept brief, not one single Jew in
Israel would survive; it's going to be that bad.

There's a holocaust pending in the book of Ezekiel that doesn't get much attention.

• Ezek 20:33-38 …As I live-- testifies The Lord God --I will reign over you with a
strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with overflowing fury. With a
strong hand and an outstretched arm and overflowing fury I will bring you out from
the Gentiles and gather you from the lands where you are scattered, and I will
bring you into the wilderness of the Gentiles; and there I will enter into judgment
with you face to face.

. . . As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of
Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you-- testifies The Lord God. I will make
you pass under the shepherd's staff, and I will bring you into the bond of the
covenant. I will remove from you those who rebel and transgress against Me; I will
take them out of the countries where they sojourn, but they shall not enter the land
of Israel. Then you shall know that I am The Lord.

Many Jews will be rejected and denied entrance to Messiah's theocratic kingdom.
Ezekiel's is a frightful picture of the Diaspora's impending meeting with their God.

So; what's to become of the rejects?

• Matt 13:40-43 . .As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at
the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out
of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them
into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the
righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let
him hear.

It's been my own personal experience that the average Jew honestly considers
themselves righteous enough to survive their day in court face to face with The
Lord God. Well, just think back to the time when God entered into judgment with
the Jews when He brought them out of Egypt. How many adults over the age of 20
entered the promised land? Only two: Joshua and Caleb. Not even Moses himself
made the cut; nor even Bezalel and Oholiab, the two artificers endowed with special
skills and aptitudes by God's own spirit.

Being Jewish is no guarantee they'll make the cut and partake of the benefits of Isa
11:1-14, Ezk 36:28-38), Mic 4:1-7, and Joel 2:19-27. Modern Jews just don't seem
to appreciate what they're up against.
