Scripture Reading: Leviticus 19:33-34
Referring to the Scripture reading, if these were the only verses in the Bible, then we could conclude that we must love all strangers as ourselves. So, any stranger who comes in our land, we should consider him as being one born among us. We could adopt Asians, marry Mexicans and welcome all the different strangers to be citizens of our land. We could be a great multi-cultural society. But there are other verses in the Bible. What do they say?
Numbers 1:51: “And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up, and the stranger who cometh near shall be put to death.”
Jeremiah 51:51: “We are confounded, because we have heard reproach; shame hath covered our faces; for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’S house.”
After church service last Sunday, I got home and I read the Sunday Cincinnati Enquirer. I eventually got to the Forum Section and I couldn’t believe the headline: “Anti-Semitism that can’t be Ignored.” I wondered what that was all about. The title got me interested enough to read the article.
The article was from Washington D. C. and was written by Ruth Marcus, a correspondent who lives there. She started her article in the following way:
“Ordinarily I’d ignore the anti-Semitism. Not this week. Invective goes with the columnist territory. To judge by commenters, emailers and tweeters, I am ugly and fat, a dried-up old hag, a leftist moonbat and spiteful Obama-hater. Also, and I gather this is supposed to be another insult, a Jew.
I woke up Saturday morning—I was going to synagogue to say “kaddish,” the mourner’s prayer, for my father who died this summer—to this lovely tweet:…”
Before I get to the “lovely tweet” that she received, I wondered what in the world a “kaddish.” was. I had never heard of it, or if I did, I had forgotten it. So, I googled it and here is what I found. Here is one of the “kaddish” prayers that are said in the synagogue (of Satan).
The Kaddish Prayer
Rabbi: He who makes peace in His heights, May He make peace, upon us and upon all Israel. Now say:
Mourners and Congregation: Amen
Rabbi: Glorified and sanctified be God’s great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say,
Mourners and Congregation: Amen
Rabbi: May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say,
Mourners and Congregation: Amen
Rabbi: May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us and for all Israel; and say,
Mourners and Congregation: Amen
Rabbi: He who creates peace in His celestial heights, May He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say,
Mourners and Congregation: Amen
So Ruth Marcus' father died this past summer? That’s about four months ago. Is she trying real hard to get sympathy? All she had to say at the synagogue was 5 “Amens”. The tweets shouldn’t have deterred her that much.
Well, let’s see what the “lovely tweet” was that she received:
“Oh, what a diverse panel, two Jews and a Shabbos goy,” the tweeter, who shall go unnamed, wrote about my scheduled appearance on CBS’ ‘Face the Nation’ with Atlantic Media’s Ron Brownstein and Republican strategist Karl Rove.
(The Rove reference, by the way, refers to a gentile helper who performs certain tasks during the Sabbath. My tweeter meant it in a derogatory way, as an enabler of Jews and Jewish causes.)”
Hmmm. Karl Rove is a “Shabbos goy?” She defined it as a gentile helper? Karl Rove is not an Israelite in her mind; he is a gentile, a goy. Is Karl an enabler of Jews and Jewish causes?
But she didn’t answer her tweeter’s statement. There were two Jews and a promoter of Jewish causes on the same panel of “Face the Nation.” Why is that? Where are the Protestants? Where are the Christians? Where are the Christian Identity believers? Why are none of the religions of the founders of our nation on the panel?
She continues:
“I know, I know, better not to read tweets directed your way. And I certainly know, don’t respond to the nasty ones.
But I did. “Pls explain yr compulsion to sort by religion.”
The response: ‘Jews compose about 3 percent of the US population, and …usually at least 50 percent of TV panels.’”
I don’t know what was left out of the responder’s email: but isn’t that a valid statement?
Ruth responded: “Me: ‘Very nice. Would you like us to register? OR is just wearing a star enough for you?’”
Didn’t she totally avoid the statement of the disapportionment on the TV panels that are made up by a majority of Jews? If they are only 3 percent of the population, why are they more than 50% on the TV panels? Then she asked her tweeter a question that had no place in the discussion. A reference to what happened to them, i.e. the Jews, in Germany during World War II.
And she didn’t mention what star they were wearing. It was the six-pointed star, which is one of the identifying marks of the Jewish people. The six-pointed star is not referred to in the Bible, and was apparently adopted later in Jewish history.
But it is found in the Kabbalah, the Jewish (un)holy book. The six-pointed Star, or as the Jews say, the Star of David, is a symbol of the Holocaust, when the Nazis forced the Jews to wear an identifying yellow star. Actually, Jews were forced to wear special badges during the Middle Ages, both by Muslim and Christian authorities, and even in Palestine under the Ottoman Empire.
One of the most sensitive issues with which secular Israelis and many Messianic Christians struggle is this same hexagram on the flag of the modern state of the Jews. Satanists recognize this symbol as one of their favorites, and most powerful symbol, i.e., the hexagram. However, secular Jews and many Messianic Christians insist that this symbol is not a hexagram, but is the “Star of David.”
The House of Rothschild was the moving force, both politically and financially, behind the original Zionist movement of Jews back to the land of Palestine. The Satanic Illuminist, Rothschild, began the Zionist Movement in 1896, funded the agitation through 1948 to get the Jews established in the land, and has owned the leadership of the Jews up to the current day. Why did the Jews choose to put this powerful sign used by Satanists on their flag? What god do they worship? They don’t think anything is wrong with this “Star.” So, what is Ruth complaining about?
She continues:
“The ‘conversation’ headed predictably downhill from there. Another tweeter contributed a picture depicting the stereotypical dirty Jew, captioned, ‘Kicked out of every nation we’ve inhabited in history. Everyone else but Jews are the problem.’
He linked to a YouTube video explaining that the Holocaust was ‘grossly exaggerated’ and that ‘when you ask what have the Germans done to the Jews, you have to ask, what have the Jews done to the Germans.’ After that I stopped watching.”
Again, she ignores the questions. Were the Jews kicked out of practically every country they have inhabited in history? Here is the list of countries from which the Jews have been expelled since 250 AD. Is it true or false?
[1]: On December 17, 1862, General Ulysses Grant wrote to the Assistant Adjutant General of the US Army:
“I have long since believed that in spite of all the vigilance that can be infused into post commanders, the specie regulations of the Treasury Department have been violated, and that mostly by the Jews and other unprincipled traders. So well satisfied have I been of this that I instructed the commanding officer at Columbus to refuse all permits to Jews to come South, and I have frequently had them expelled from the department. But they come in with their carpet-sacks in spite of all that can be done to prevent it. The Jews seem to be a privileged class that can travel anywhere. They will land at any woodyard on the river and make their way through the country. If not permitted to buy cotton themselves, they will act as agents for someone else, who will be at a military post with a Treasury permit to receive cotton and pay for it in Treasury notes which the Jew will buy at an agreed rate, paying gold.”
Also, on December 17, 1862, General Ulysses S. Grant issued General Order No. 11. This order banished all Jews from Tennessee’s western military.
General Order No. 11 declared:
- The Jews, as a class, violating every regulation of trade established by the Treasury Department, are hereby expelled from the Department.
- Within 24 hours from the receipt of this order by Post Commanders, they will see that all of this class of people are furnished with passes required to leave, and anyone returning after such notification, will be arrested and held in confinement until an opportunity occurs of sending them out as prisoners, unless furnished with permits from these headquarters.
- No permits will be given these people to visit headquarters for the purpose of making personal application for trade permits.
By order of Major Gen. Grant.

That is quite a list of countries that kicked out the Jews. Many of these nations were Christian nations. England kicked them out from 1290 AD and didn’t let them back in until 1660’s. That is longer than the history of our own nation!
Again, the author of the “Anti-Semitism” article did not answer the questions raised by her tweeters. She ignored them and continued: “There is, of course, no reasoning with these people. Anti-Semitism is a virus immune to being eradicated with rationality. There is a risk in rewarding it with attention.”
Ruth Marcus says that you cannot get rid of Anti-Semitism by using rational reasoning. Well, what did she use? Irrational unreasoning?
The rest of her article she deceives the reader again. She upholds the immigration of Muslim refugees into the United States by giving a verse of Scripture from
“…Leviticus, a passage that as it happens, I chanted at my daughter’s bat mitzvah. ‘The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one of your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.’”
She did not give the chapter and verse. She just said that it was from Leviticus. I guess she didn’t want her readers to look it up in their Bibles.
She is saying that the first “stranger” in this verse is anyone one who is unknown to her and that she should love him as yourself. I guess she is saying to the IsraeLIES that they are to love the Palestinian strangers! She isn’t! But she is saying to the United States that they should follow what this verse says, or should I say what this verse, interpreted by her, says. She says that the United States should welcome with open arms the Muslim refugees. She ties them to being the “strangers” in this verse.
It is like what happened before and during World War II. She says that it is the same as
“…this country’s – my country’s -- terrible failure to admit thousands of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany, amid similar warnings of embedded dangers. History and faith inform my reaction.”
The United States should follow the verse the way that she interprets it or you are an “Anti-Semitic.” Since when is the United States a Jewish nation?
But the Bible has been poorly translated by the translators. In both the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament there are at least eight different words translated as “strangers,” “foreigners” and “servants,” etc. and this is the problem. The translators (including the N. I. V.) have no system of consistent translation of any one of these words.
That there are “strangers” who are Israelites and “strangers” who are not Israelites is very obvious. One of these eight words translated “stranger” is “ger.” It is translated 86 out of 92 times it occurs in the Old Testament as “stranger” or “strangers.” The meaning of this word might be summarized as being an Israelite who was living apart from the main body of Israel. The important fact is that this stranger was an Israelite by race. This is the meaning of the words “stranger” in Leviticus 19:33 and 34 that Ruth Marcus quoted in her article.
She is wrong in implying that the “stranger” in these verses refers to non-Israelite Muslims! A word-by-word examination will show the premise about non-Israelites becoming part of racial Israel is not valid. In the wilderness, which is when Leviticus was written, the congregation of Israel contained both Israelites [the qahal] and also a mixed multitude [the edah], both of whom were travelling together. But, only one of them could attended the tabernacle. Which one?
And the one who was not allowed to attend the tabernacle, if he came near it was to be put to death. And the racial stranger (zuwr) who comes near to the priest’s office is to be…well let’s read what the Bible says:
Numbers 18:7: “Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for everything that is on the altar, and within the veil; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office unto you as a service of gift; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.”
So, what about T. D. Jakes, net worth of $150 million; Creflo Dollar, net worth of $37 million; Bishop David Oyedepo, net worth of $150 million; Temitope B. Joshua, net worth of $15 million; Charles Blake, earns a $900,000 salary; Matthew Ashimolowo, net worth of $10 million; Bishop Eddie Long, net worth of $5 million; and Christian Oyakhilome, net worth of $50 million; Enoch Adeboye, net worth of $55 million; Benny Hinn, net worth of $52 million; Bishop Edir Macedo, net worth of $950 million; and the rest of all the Negro, Hispanic and Asiatic preachers?
Then I came across another verse,
Nehemiah 13:3: “Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.”
Who is the mixed multitude? Strong’s Concordance says that it means a “mixture, or mongrel race.” The word is “ereb” which is where we get the word “Arab.”
Wait a minute. This is the verse the correspondent Jew should have written about the current situation about all the Muslim refugees, but she couldn’t for God’s law contradicts her own attempt at destroying His people. She “couldn’t hear God’s law.” She made the word “stranger” mean the Muslim (Arab) people. She said that the United States should love them as themselves.
She totally ignored Nehemiah 13:3 which tells exactly the opposite thing that we should do. Who do you believe? A mongrel Jew or your God?
Conclusion
Our opening Scriptural readings showed the inconsistencies of the word “stranger.” In the first verse the Israelites are commanded to love them as their selves and in the next two verses they are told that any “stranger” who either goes into the tabernacle or tries to enter the priesthood is to be executed.
What have we learned? The Jewish writer of this article that appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer Forum believes what the Jews teach: that there are only two kinds of people – Jews and non-Jews. To their way of thinking, therefore anyone who is not a Jew must be a Gentile.
Think about this lie for a little bit. It is so deceiving and destructive to believe this falsehood. It has become a popular teaching throughout Christendom today. It has led to the basic reason that most of the people of Christendom have mistaken the Biblical identity of the people of Israel. Having limited the Israel of the Bible incorrectly to the “Jew,” a religious sect classed with Protestant and Catholic, the rank and file of religious leaders have swallowed hook, line and sinker, the lie that God in this Christian dispensation has been building a Gentile Church, made up largely of non-Israelites.
These same “Christian?” religious leaders have divided the world up into two camps: Jew and Gentile. To their way of thinking, therefore anyone who is not a Jew must be a Gentile. And since the Jews rejected Jesus and would have none of Him, there is thus no one left of which the church could be comprised. In fact, the Bible says that the Jews cannot hear the words of Jesus Christ.
To say that our people are confused is to put it mildly. They are so confused that politician and clergy alike are staggering like drunken men as they endeavor to cope with our mounting problems.
For God to set Israel aside, the people with whom He made His covenants and promises, and whom He chose to be His servants and witnesses and in this Christian era turn to a heathen, Gentile people with whom He had no covenants, and who were strangers to God and His promises, and use them to do Israel’s work is nothing short of a flat denial of the Sovereignty of God.
This has also given us a new teaching that the Old Testament has to do with the Jews; while the New Testament has to do with the Gentiles, or a non-Israel people. This mistaken concept developed around a mistaken identity of the Israel people. Such teaching is but the mistaken theology of men which makes the Word of God on none effect.
But what about the word “Gentile.” If it doesn’t mean “non-Jew”, what does it mean? There is no equivalent in the Greek for Gentile. It is an English word and found in no other language. Gentile is derived from the Latin “gens”, meaning tribes.
Ephesians 3:8: “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,…”
Who did the Apostle Paul say that he should preach to? Did he mean that the Gentiles were:
- Non-Jews? (People who do not have the covenant seed, promises and who are not loved by God) or
- Israelites? Formerly uncircumcised, cut off from the covenant, divorced, without any hope; the 10 tribes of Israel, which held the birthright promise, were the ones that the Apostle Paul went and preached to. This is the answer to the mystery (Ephesians 3:9) that is hidden to a majority of our people today. The Gentiles were the nations that made up the lost 10 tribes of Israel.
The Bible has several words that are badly translated: earth, land, ground, world, Gentile, nation, Jew, man, Israel, stranger, sojourner, etc. For example, look at these contradicting statements in the King James Bible:
John 17:6: “I have manifested Thy Name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world.”
John 17:16: “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
How can this be? In one verse they are out of “the world” and in the second they are not of “the world.” And they are just 10 verses apart!
John 17:9: “I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me; for they are thine.”
John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Might it not be blasphemy to suggest that Jesus would not pray for that world which He loved? So He would have to pray for one “world” and not for another!
Luke 2:1: “And it came to pass, in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be registered.”
Does this mean that Caesar Augustus decreed that the native in New Guinea had to register? No, it doesn’t mean all the inhabitants or races living on the earth at that time. Even the Scofield Bible has a note on this verse that says that the word “world” is a “reference politically to the Roman Empire or the Roman world.”
Genesis 8:13: “And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry."
Does this mean that the whole earth was under sea water? No civilization could be older than 4,500 years if this was true.
Genesis 4:14: “Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth: and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me."
How could Cain be both driven from the earth (sent to another planet) and be a fugitive and vagabond still in the earth?
John 2:13: “And the Jews’ Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,…”
Look all through the Book of Exodus and show me the verse that says that it was the Jews who were delivered in the Passover at Egypt. If the Jews were not delivered in the Passover, how could it be the Jew’s Passover?
Matthew 2:2: “Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.”
The wise men traveled all the way from the east to give to the King of Israel gifts honoring Him. They followed His star to Jerusalem and then the star disappeared. They went and asked King Herod (an Edomite/Jew) where was He born? He didn’t know, so he asked the chief priests and scribes and they looked it up in the Old Testament and said that He would be born in Bethlehem. So the wise men took their gifts and went to the house where He was living and gave to Him His gifts.
Let me just say a few words about the mixed-up holiday that is now in our midst—Christmas; of the Mass of Christ. If you asked a person who believes in this holiday why they give gifts to each other, they will usually use this story to give them the traditional answer: the wise men gave gifts to the Savior, so we just carry on the tradition.
But the wise men were not there on December 24th or the 25th, they were about 1 ½ years late. And they didn’t give gifts one to another, they came to provide Him the means for the King to survive, as He was to go and live in Egypt for a while. Whose birthday is it supposed to be? Have you ever gone to a birthday party and gave gifts to everyone except the person whose birthday it really is?
There are a multitude of other verses that are just like this. You have to search them out and see what the correct word that should have been translated is. This will be you on the correct path to the truth.
If you understand the truth, then you will understand what our enemy is trying to do. Listen carefully to the quote from Menachem Begin, former Prime Minister of IsraeLIE. Does this sound like a statement that should be made by one who is supposedly part of the covenant holy seed? Menachem was a Jewish Buddhist. Does this sound like a people who believe in what they say?
For Ruth Marcus is an Ashkenazi Jew. Which is a mongrel mix between Asian and Canannite/Edomite blood. They are not descended from Shem, which makes them not a Semite. Her article is nothing more than a propaganda full of lies. Exactly the way our Savior describe His enemies.
Listen to what the former Prime Minister of these liars proudly proclaimed: “Our race is the ‘Master Race.’ We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects…and beasts and animals, cattle at best. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves.”
I don’t plan to lick any feet of any Jew. Doesn’t sound like the equality of the races to me?
The truth shall make you free. Free of what; all the Jewish lies and deception that they have put on us because we have failed to serve our God.
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel.
