Antisemitic ‘Mass Murder’ Warning

“Antisemitism will only be fully dealt with when Jesus returns. But we must fight it; we must be vocal against it.”

Antisemitism will only ultimately be beaten when Jesus returns, a spokesman for Chosen People Ministries told a Zoom meeting in Britain.

Speaking on the issue from the United States, Olivier Melnick, a Jewish believer originally from France, warned Christians that “we could be inches away from mass murder of Jews,” which is where things are headed due to worrying factors such as apathy, misinformation and people getting away with outrageous insults.

A particularly worrying factor was that antisemitism was not on the radar of most Christians as they did not consider themselves affected by it.

“But silence is complicity,” said Olivier, reminding participants of German pastor Martin Niemoller’s famous quote suggesting that if we did not stand up for others, there would be no-one left to speak for us.

Melnick cited a recent case in France where a man has walked free for throwing a Jew out of the window to his death on the basis that he was high on cannabis, whereas French law dictates that you can be imprisoned for simply throwing a pet out of the window.

He further warned that some may soon be forced into civil disobedience when the law no longer protects Jews, citing the case of Anne Frank in Nazi-occupied Holland. “Those who hid Anne Frank were breaking the law; those who killed her were following the law.”

Antisemitism, he said, would “only be fully dealt with when Jesus returns. But we must fight it; we must be vocal against it.”

Doing so also enables us to build bridges with the Jewish people and earns the right to speak to them about Jesus – many Jews are still under the impression that the church was complicit in antisemitism over the centuries.

    The world will always hate God and his people for being “a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” (James 4:4) Antisemitism and anti-Christian sentiments are increasing because the world is digging its heels in to remain in the darkness rather come into God’s marvellous light. (John 3:19) Even the judgments of God will not cause some of them to repent. (Rev 9:20) In this day of grace we have a shield of faith, the Shield of Abraham, to stop the devil’s missiles getting through. (Eph 6:16) Many missiles don’t get through but we must ever watch and pray for Israel and for God’s people. (Matt 26:41)

    Shalom,

    Charles and Olivier, both are correct, was reading accounts by both authors yesterday in G_d’s reports, excellent pieces, on the money examples and analysis, and the report by Charles mentions how a Jewish Woman, (Sarah Halimi) was thrown out of a window, and the murderer walked free because he was supposedly under the influence of a drug, he shouted “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is great” in Arabic, and “I killed the devil.”

    Pure Evil is on full display. Olam ebah….

    My point is this, I would say to any Jewish family, try and leave America for Israel as soon as possible, Antisemitism is on an exponential increase here and across the World…
