The Suffering Servant

Written by David Ben-Ariel


Continued from page 1

Jesus, as an individual, and Israel nationally, andrepparttar Church spiritually, represent God's Son on earth. We are "the Suffering Servant" thatrepparttar 149397 world isn't worthy of (Isa. 53; Heb. 11:35-38). We arerepparttar 149398 "Royal Priesthood" compared to other nations and people (Ex. 19:6; 1 Pet. 2:9).

Does that mean that we're without sin, and thatrepparttar 149399 other nations are more righteous or justified in persecuting us? No! God warns against that dangerous delusion: "I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; uponrepparttar 149400 ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke" (Isa. 47:6), and "All that found them that devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned againstrepparttar 149401 LORD..." (Jer. 50:7), and "I am very sore displeased withrepparttar 149402 heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forwardrepparttar 149403 affliction" (Zech. 1:15). I discuss this in my book, Beyond Babylon: Europe's Rise and Fall, withinrepparttar 149404 chapter "Europe's Fate."

Sometimes God utilizes our enemies to help bring us back to our spiritual senses, and then He judges those haughty individuals and nations and reminds them that they're only mortal (Isa. 10:12; Jer. 51:35). At other times, Israel suffered unjustly in Egypt, Judah faced extermination for refusing to assimilate (Esther 3:8) andrepparttar 149405 early Christians Aquila and Priscilla were wrongly persecuted for simply being Jews and were required by law to leave Rome (Acts 18:2).

God exposesrepparttar 149406 twisted mindset of those anti-Semites who wrongly feel that Israel and Judah have too much power and influence and control over their lives and nations, and are threatening to revolt against their "oppressors," yet will find themselves fighting a loosing battle against God! (Ps. 2; Rev. 17:14).

Individuals and nations must come to know and recognize whom God has chosen (an Elect, not an elite) for His PURPOSE of ultimately saving every individual and nation (Isa. 49:22-23; Rev. 3:9).

So despite anti-Zionist, anti-Semites,repparttar 149407 damnable heresies of replacement theology and genealogy, personal and national sins, "all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zionrepparttar 149408 Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob" (Rom. 11:26). Israel will prevail and become God's light to all nations, blessing others as they've been blessed!
