DOCTRINE OF ANTI-SEMITISM
  1. Anti-Semitism is a technical term referring to those persons, organizations, or nations that are hostile to the Jew because of mental attitude sins and/or Satanic doctrine.
    1. The Jew is the most recent of all races and is one of many Semitic groups (Gen.10:22-31; 11:10-32).
    2. Haman of the book of Esther is illustrative of individual anti-Semitism.
    3. The United Nations is illustrative of an organization.
    4. Egypt is illustrative of a nation.
    5. The hostility takes many forms, from maligning to genocide.
    6. Satan's doctrines say all of our troubles, now and in the future, are caused by the Jew.
  2. The Abrahamic covenant contains an anti-Semitism clause (Gen.12:3).
    1. It applies to Abraham and his racial descendants through Isaac.
    2. God will do this either directly or indirectly.
    3. Conversely, those who are pro-Semitic, God will bless economically and militarily.
  3. Satan is behind anti-Semitism (Rev.12).
    1. Satan's objective toward preincarnation was to destroy the Jew so that the Messiah could not come.
    2. Satan's objective toward the incarnation was to kill the Lord Jesus Christ at birth to keep Him off the Cross.
    3. Satan's post resurrection objective was to eradicate the Jew so that there would be no nation to regather.
  4. The rise and fall of nations is related to anti-Semitism (Rev.12; Ezek.38-39: Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia (Dan.5), Persia, Hellenistic Greece, Rome, the Spanish Inquisition, Orientals, the Franco-Prussian War, Germany, Arabs, Russia, the Revived Roman Empire, etc.).
  5. Personal illustrations.
    1. Pharaoh of the Exodus, Kencharis.
    2. Antiochus Epiphanes.
    3. Adolph Hitler.
    4. Joseph Stalin.
    5. Antichrist.
    6. Ithobalz (Ezek.28).
  6. God will handle the discipline of the Jews (Lev.26) through the cycles of discipline.
  7. There are three categories of Jews from the divine viewpoint.
    1. Religious.
    2. Racial.
    3. Regenerate.
  8. How to evaluate any Jew.
    1. He is either establishment or anti-establishment.
    2. As a nation.
    3. Nationalist or internationalist.
    4. As a Christian (gory road or glory road?)
  9. The Second Advent concludes anti-Semitism in human and angelic history (Zech.12:1-9; Rev.19:11-21; Ps.53).
  10. The false application of Israel's sufferings leads to further anti-Semitism (Jer.50:6,7).
  11. America's anti-Semitism.
    1. Like ancient Tyre, it is motivated by greed (Ezek.26:1-6).
    2. Like Tyre, the United States will be removed (Jer.51:34-37).
