Tesloniqyah/First Thessalonians 2:14-15-
14
For you, Yisraelite brothers, became followers of the congregations of YHWH
which in Yahudah are in Moshiach Yahshua:
For you also have suffered similar things from your own countrymen,
even as they have from the unbelieving Yahudim in
the land of Yahudah: [1]
15
Who both killed the Master Yahshua, [2]
and their own neviim, and have persecuted us; and they please not YHWH, and
are against all men:
Unfortunately
not all believers use the Restoration Scriptures True Name Edition yet.
Hopefully that will change one day. When using the RSTNE, the accompanying
footnotes seen in this document help alleviate the anti-Semitic bias found in
most translations. When using other translations one can easily get the
impression that:
- YHWH’s
heart contains prejudice.
- YHWH’s
truthfulness is turned into a lie in the New Covenant by a new entity
separate from Yisrael.
- YHWH’s
motives have become questionable.
- YHWH
is confused because of messages that seem to question His consistency and
immutability.
- YHWH
is anti-Semitic, or anti-Jewish and pro- “Gentile”-Christian.
While
we who love YHWH know these accusations are blasphemous, yet if not properly
understood, key parts of the Brit Chadasha/Renewed Covenant can seem to be an
anti-Jewish. Before you pooh-pooh this very
question, consider the fact that atheists, many rabbinical Jews and
anti-missionaries, all consider this to be the case and promote their agendas
using this falsehood as a premise.
In
most translations in Tesloniqyah/First Thessalonians 2 verse 15, Paul seems to
be saying that the Jews as a nation killed Moshiach. But thankfully as seen
above, Paul only refers to a specific group of “unbelieving” Yahudim, in
one specific land area, during one specific time period. This is why
having the RSTNE is so crucial in these last days! The RSTNE corrects this in
order to line up with the very words of Moshiach as seen in Yochanan/Moshe/Mark
10:33-34, where Yahshua Himself says that the unbelieving Yahudim in Judea
betrayed Him, but that the actual murder was committed by the non-Jews, or
Gentiles. Obviously Rav Shaul cannot contradict
Yahshua. Since the Gentiles literally killed Yahshua, the RSTNE rendering
lines up with the words of Yahshua. Here is what Moshiach actually said:
33
Saying, See, we go up to Yahrushalayim; and the Ben Adam shall be delivered to
the head kohanim, and to the sophrim; and they shall condemn Him to death, and
shall deliver Him to the
goyim:
34 And they shall mock Him, and shall scourge
Him, and shall spit upon Him, and they shall kill
Him: [3]
and the third day He shall rise again.
Another secondary
understanding of the troubling Thessalonians reference is that according to
Mattiyahu/Matthew 5:21-22, murder is not just a physical act, but also a
condition of the heart. As
such, the murderous intentions of the unbelieving Jewish leaders was present,
even though the Gentiles actually committed the act. By simply following
Yahshua’s logic and Torah teachings, Rav Shaul states that the betrayal of
their Master, merely displays the murderous intentions in the hearts of the
unbelieving Jewish leaders, as opposed to placing a blanket charge of deocide
upon them. We can thus conclude that the Thessalonians reference is a
factual recitation of the actions of a few unbelieving leaders in Judea, and
not a condemnation of an entire race, or nationality around the globe!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another troubling and often
twisted verse is Gilyahna/Revelation 3:9 (and also 2:9).
9
See, I will make them of
the synagogue of s.a.tan, who say they are Yahudim,
and are not, but do lie; see, I will make them to come and
worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
Many teach that YHWH calls
unbelieving Jews members of the synagogue of s.a.tan, thus condemning all
Jews. According to this misunderstanding it appears that all unbelieving Jews
are demons who worship in s.a.tanic synagogues. This theory teaches that in
order for a Jew to stop being a demon, he must get saved. Furthermore, this
verse appears to be saying that rabbinical Jews are not really Jews, and thus
YHWH will allegedly force them to worship at the feet of born again believers
This
perverted interpretation cannot be true, as this understanding would
contradict the entirety of YHWH’s word. Scripture teaches that the Jews even
in partial blindness are still unconditionally loved and esteemed by YHWH. As
Romiyah/Roman 11:28-29 teaches, their unbelief does not negate the word of
YHWH, nor His stated love for Jewish-Yisrael in, or out of belief on Yahshua.
They are enemies of the Gospel, but BELOVED BY YHWH FOR THE SAKE OF THE
FATHERS, AVRAHAM, YITZCHAK, AND YAAKOV!
So
then, what is the proper interpretation of these Revelation verses? These
verses are a strong rebuke of Ephraimite, or other non-Jewish believers in
Philadelphia, who were not walking in love and truth, and who claimed that
they were the real Jews, or the “NEW Yisrael,” called to replace the Jews
as Yisrael, seeing that their leaders had rejected Yahshua.
Yet these are Ephraimite
believers, non-Jews by birth. What YHWH is actually doing here is rebuking all
those who have joined the Replacement Theology crowd. YHWH calls those who
continue to hold to Replacement Theology, “the synagogue of s.a.tan,” who
are liars of the highest order. They say they are physical Jews, but are not!
YHWH says I will make those who claim this fall at the feet of Jewish
believers in order to repent of their Replacement Theology, as they walk in
their assigned role as Ephraim and not as Yahudah. Anyone who understands the
true two house message as a returning Ephraimite, would never claim to be
Jewish, as they know that they are already Yisrael from the other side of the
physical family, descending from the 10 northern tribes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yochanan/John
8:44-You
are of your abba s.a.tan, and the lusts of your abba you will do. He
was a murderer from Beresheeth, and stayed not in the emet, because there is
no emet in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks his own lie: for he is a liar,
and the abba of it.
Yahshua
here is not talking to all Jew,s but to the Jewish leaders in Judea. This is
not to say all Jews are demons, since most of the multitudes and the writers
of the Renewed Covenant were Jews. Rather any unbeliever that hates Yahshua is
a child of s.a.tan. This is a general application text, not a condemnation of
Jews. He condemned ALL religious hypocrites with unrepentant hearts who are
not born again. All unbelievers in YHWH’s Son are children of unbelief and
rebellion like s.a.tan. If He were addressing those born into a Methodist
family, He would say the same thing if they did not have personal faith. It is
lack of faith, not race that determines if one is a child of s.a.tan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yochanan/John
7:1 After these things Yahshua
walked only in Galil: for
He would not walk in the province of Yahudah because
the Yahudim [in Yahudah] sought to kill Him. [4]
These
types of verses appear throughout the gospel of Yochanan/John. In both Aramaic
and Greek the proper rendering is “Judeans” in the province of Judea, not
“Jews,” as in all Jews worldwide.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to certain
Yahudim fables and commandments of men, who hate the emet and turn
others from the emet.
[5]
Those
who believe that the Renewed Covenant is anti-Jewish teach that Rav Shaul here
warns that everything Jewish and all of Judaism is mythical and lacking any
truth worth anything.
The
truth is that Rav Shaul merely warned Titus about CERTAIN myths and traditions
of men, not a blanket condemnation of everything Jewish. Among those things
Paul was referring to was the unbiblical parts of Talmud, Zohar and Kaballah,
including Hellenistic views of Torah. Usage of the word “certain” as seen
only in the RSTNE, shows that Rav Shaul is not focusing in on a race, or a
nationality, but is merely issuing a personal warning to his disciple Teitus,
to stay clear of the parts of Jewish teachings that are mere legend, or worse
yet, contradictions to the written word. He rebukes all forms of deductive
reasoning that opposes the truth of pure revelation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Galutyah/Galatians
5:2-3 and 6:15-Rabbinical
Judaism and others believe that Paul forbade circumcision and since
circumcision is a basic tenant of Judaism, and since the Renewed Covenant
allegedly forbids it, they see the Brit Chadasha as an anti-Semitic document,
standing in the face of such hallowed Torah commands such as circumcision. Lets
look closer, by reviewing the footnotes seen below.
Galutyah-Galatians
5: 2-4-
Behold,
I Shaul say to you, that if you become circumcised, [6]
Moshiach
shall profit you nothing. [7]
3 For I testify again
[8] to every man
that is circumcised, that
he is a debtor to do the whole Torah. [9]
4 Moshiach has become of no effect to you, whoever of you are declared to be a
tzadik by the Torah; you are fallen from unmerited favor.
[10] [11]
Galutyah
-Galatians 6:13-14-
For
those who are circumcised do not keep the Torah;
[12] but desire
to have you circumcised, that they may boast over your flesh. [13]
14
But YHWH forbid that I should boast, except in the execution stake of our Master Yahshua
ha Moshiach, through whom the olam hazeh is impaled to me, and I am impaled
to the olam hazeh.
[14]
Conclusion-
The Brit Chadasha is not anti-Semitic. It is plainly and factually true. The
demonic interpretations of it have been anti-Semitic. Hate groups who have
misquoted and misused it for their own dark anti-Jewish agendas have been
anti-Semitic. Has the Brit Chadasha been used as an anti-Semitic tool?
Yes it has, and sadly it is still used that way to this day. But neither the
document, nor the writers, nor Yahshua Himself were anti-Semitic. After all
Yahshua Himself was a child of Shem!
