Anti-Semitism Fanned Into Flames

The prophet Jeremiah understood Yahveh’s grief and cried out, “Oh, that my head were waters, And my eyes a fountain of tears, That I might weep day and night For the slain … of my people!” (Jeremiah 9:1). This is the heart of Yahveh and the heart of Yahshua (Jesus); this is the heart of His prophets, His apostles, and of a holy remnant. This also is the heart of Basilea Schlink, a German nun who cries out for more people to shed tears of repentance for what has been done to the beloved brethren of the Savior. Her profoundly contrite heartbeat speaks to humble persons of all faiths. She says, “Whoever wants to know the heart of God will do so by acquainting himself with His people Israel.”1

“… Do not our consciences smite us after we have learnt of the Jews’ suffering, brought on by our silence … ? … Yet at Christian conferences and elsewhere how seldom grief is voiced, … Where are the troubled consciences? Where are the large repentance gatherings? Where is the church that regularly holds prayers of repentance for our crime against Israel? We pray for revivals, but they fail to come. A curse lies upon the Christian community, a curse of unrepented guilt towards Israel. What has been done to atone for our guilt? Where are those who submit to God’s verdict, not because they are forced to but of their own free will, and who on account of this guilt have served His people gladly and with sacrificial love?”2

This dear godly saint goes on to say: “… But one thing we do know is that the number of those who are currently living in such a state of repentance, atoning for their sin, and showing love to Israel wherever they can is infinitesimal and scarcely deserve mention. Yet the Lord is waiting for the completion of a certain number who are willing to be convicted and to atone for the sin-stained past. Yes, God is waiting. He is waiting with infinite patience. For so many years now He has waited for our repentance. Should we not do all we can now to rejoice the Father’s heart with our repentance? If there is joy in heaven with Him who is heaven’s Lord and with His angels when a soul repents, how much more so when we Christians at last come to repentance for what we have done to His people!”3 It is through humble, repentant people like Basilea that Messiah will pour out His tears, bathing Israel in a healing balm of compassion and love. These tears will be His remedy to cure the unfathomable wound in Jewish hearts—a wound that was partially inflicted by corporate Christianity, which harbored the Serpent’s anti-Semitic venom and “stood aloof” (Obadiah 11) at the time of her calamity.

“Comfort, O comfort My people,” says your God. “speak kindly to Jerusalem [and to individual Jews]; And call out to her, that her warfare has ended, That her iniquity has been removed [by Yahshua her Messiah], …” (Isaiah 40:1-2) This divinely prescribed remedy of prayers mixed with tears of repentance will prepare a remnant of Jewish hearts to behold and receive their Messiah through obedient “ambassadors of reconciliation” (see 2Corinthians 5:18-20).

The uncultivated, thorny ground of Christianity will not become a fertile harvest field until a humble and repentant remnant begins to weep over the plight of the children of Israel. These tears will fall as spring rain from heaven; they will break up the desert-like ground. The tears of humble Gentiles will be as rains that end the spiritual drought and famine, and help wash away the stain of blood.

As the holy remnant beseeches the Master of the harvest to open a flood of repentance through their hearts, they will begin to weep for the slain of Israel. Their tears will act as a spiritual catalyst causing grief and repentance to pour out from many Jewish hearts because of Israel’s continual rejection of Messiah. Zechariah prophesied of Israel’s sorrow, saying: “…they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him, like the bitter weeping over a first-born.” (Zechariah 12:10)

Godly sorrow and true repentance from the hearts of the righteous remnant over Christian anti-Semitism, combined with Israel’s bitter grief and repentance over the rejection of their Messiah, will bring about the prophesied “latter day rain” (Joel 2:23-26) upon the harvest field of this earth. As one new man, we should “Ask rain from Yahveh at the time of the spring rain—Yahveh who makes the storm clouds; And He will give them showers of rain, …” (Zechariah 10:1).

As Gentiles and Jews are circumcised in heart and reconciled to the Almighty and to one another, the harvest field of the earth will become as a desert in bloom. Isaiah prophesied of this glorious event, saying, “In the days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will blossom and sprout; And they will fill the whole world with fruit” (Isaiah 27:6). One of the greatest fruits of the salvation of Israel will be the increased knowledge of Yahveh that will fill the earth with His glory.

Regarding the salvation of the Jews, Paul wrote, “Now if their transgression be riches for the world and their failure be riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be!” (Romans 11:12).

Death to life … Fallow ground to fertile fields …Drought to latter day rains …Withered branches to vibrant vines. Blighted harvest to bountiful fruit …Famine to feast. Indeed, our famine will turn to feasting at the Father’s banquet table, which will be set for all brethren who share His joy over Israel, His returning prodigal nation.

Epilogue to the Trail of the Serpent

Many in the body of Messiah have labored in vain as they’ve built on a faulty foundation, which has given rise to cracked, irregular, and bulging walls. They would not heed the Holy One of Israel and His precepts. Many have preferred man’s ways over Yahveh’s commands. Scripture tells us, “There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12). Yahveh declares through Isaiah: '“Now go, write it on a tablet before them And inscribe it on a scroll, That it may serve in the time to come As a witness forever. For this is a rebellious people, false sons, Sons who refuse to listen To the instruction of Yahveh; Who say … to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right, Speak to us pleasant words … Get out of the way, turn aside from the path, Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.” Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, “Since you have rejected this word, And have put your trust in oppression and guile, and have relied on them, Therefore this iniquity will be to you Like a breach about to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant.” (Isaiah 30:8-13)

In Ezekiel it is written: “… ‘Listen to the word of the Lord Yahveh!’ … “Woe to the foolish prophets [religious leaders and teachers] who are following their own spirit and have seen nothing. … “You have not gone up into the breaches, nor did you build the wall around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of Yahveh. … “It is definitely because they have misled My people … when anyone builds a [flimsy] wall [by men’s doctrines], behold, they plaster it over with whitewash [men’s religious traditions]; so tell those who plaster it over with whitewash, that it will fall. … I shall tear down the wall which you plastered over with whitewash and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation [anti-Semitic doctrines and traditions of men] is laid bare [exposed] … I shall say to you, ‘The wall is gone and its plasterers are gone …’” (Ezekiel 13:2-5, 10-11, 14-15)

From Constantine to Martin Luther, to replacement theology in the church, many believers have embraced a form of religion and its traditions. We have exchanged His plumb line of truth for the crooked foundation of fabricated doctrines and spurious traditions. “An appalling and horrible thing Has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests [preachers and teachers] rule on their own authority [not by Yahveh’s truth]; And My people love it so! But what will you do at the end of it?” (Jeremiah 5:30-31)

With broken and contrite hearts, the remnant will weep with Yahshua (Jesus) over His brethren, the Jews. They will stand in the gap and repent for a church system that has neglected His mandates to love and comfort His chosen people. The curses of anti-Semitism will be broken as this remnant fully realizes how far the church has strayed from Yahveh’s plumb line of truth.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father—God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—You’re the sovereign judge over all people. You show no favoritism to Jew or Gentile. You reward those who obey Your commands, and You judge those who rebel against Your righteous decrees. Father, I ask Your forgiveness for my sins and the sins of the church system in its historical neglect, hostility, and shameful violence against Your first-born people, Israel. I recognize that the Jews are my brethren. I pray that in Your mercy You’ll cleanse me and a remnant of Your people of all anti-Semitic venom, and of any way in which it has poisoned the spiritual bloodstream of Your redeemed body. With grief and lament, I ask You to break all curses that have been incurred through my ancestors and the church fathers who’ve been “Satan’s ambassadors” against the Jewish people. I pray that the curse of the Abrahamic covenant will be reversed to the blessings of the Abrahamic covenant, as Your redeemed remnant begins to cry out on behalf of Your people. Forgive me for arrogance against the original branches of Your olive tree, Israel.

Thank You for the blood of the Lamb, which cleanses me and the repentant remnant of all sins and transgressions. Thank You for the blood that destroyed the dividing wall that separated the Gentiles from Your promises to Israel. Thank You for not leaving me as a Gentile outcast, far away from Your eternal promises. Thank You for the pain of the flint knife, which circumcised my heart, that I might know what hurts You, and that I might love and obey You with all my heart.

Having prayed this prayer, you will find comfort in the words of Micah, “Who is a God like Thee, who pardons iniquity And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? … He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, Thou wilt cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea. Thou wilt give truth to Jacob [and the holy remnant] And unchanging love to Abraham [and his spiritual offspring, redeemed by Messiah’s blood], Which Thou didst swear to our forefathers From the days of old” (Micah 7:18-20).
