Who does the Bible say killed Jesus Christ?

Scripture Reading: Matthew 27:20-25
America's New Low
The past couple of weeks has brought America to its lowest point, as the country stands in a mass of quicksand; and it is sinking fast. Bruce Jenner, former Olympic champion, had his two hour interview on television in which he made the oxymoronic statement that “He is a woman.” His transgendered announcement was linked to Ellen DeGeneres’ statement that she was gay twenty years ago.
But it was the general agreement on the television, radio and newspaper news that astonished me. All of the comments were favorable. The interview, that many were waiting for, revealed early on that the former Olympian and reality show star has transitioned into someone Jenner would only call “her.” And a multitude of gay, lesbian and transgender advocates as well as other members of the public said they thought the two-hour interview on ABC’s 20/20 was well done and that they applauded Jenner, 65, for the move.
“By sharing this story, Jenner is helping to raise the visibility of transgender people and the transgender community,” said transgender triathlete Chris Mosier, founder of the TrtansAthlete.com website and executive director of GO!Athletes, a national network of current and former LGBTQ student athletes.
Jay Brown, director of research and public education for the Human Rights Campaign, also in Washington, said Jenner demonstrated “fearlessness” in sharing details of dressing up and struggling with sexual attraction for women while identifying as a woman.
I know that not all the people agree with this kind of behavior, but the news people must be forbidden to find any. The nation is embracing the sodomite practices so much it would make the ancient destroyed cities of the plain blush. On the homosexual web sites I found that they believe that their abominable practice is NOT a sin. They point out all the great accomplishments of past sodomites and say that they only thing that says that they are evil is the Bible. As a result every 501 (C) 3 church will lose their tax status in the near future!
We live in a very godless world. What God has instructed us on how to live is basically totally forgotten? The Bible has been taken out of most the school houses and government buildings. We live in a diversity driven society with an emphases on multi-culturalism as being a good thing to have; never once even quoting what our God says about it. How can we be living in a multi-racial society, with all the different gods among us, and keep the very first commandment; let alone all the other commandments!
Our mixed-raced President, jewish/black, has said that America must do more for the LGBT movement across the world. He made an executive order that any nation that did not proceed to have equal rights for everyone (including LGBT) would have their foreign aid reduced significantly or totally stopped.
Is homosexuality running our nation? No wonder we are having such severe storms the past few months as state after state has approved same-sex marriages. There have even been twin tornados that have made deep scars in the countryside in the Midwestern part of the United States. There have been massive downpours of rain, floods, and very high winds along with a severe drought in southern California. No doubt, our God is judging us.
Sodomites say that homosexuality is not a sin. You can read all about it on their websites. But I have never heard them discuss Leviticus 20:13 however: “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.” This verse should settle it for every Christian.
And many of the churches are caving in too. This past month, Presbyterian Church (USA) agreed to have its pastors perform same-sex marriages. Also, now their churches (PCUSA) are allowed to have homosexual ministers. They are the largest church denomination in America that has come to this opinion which is directly against God’s Word.
Fetus murdering became legal in 1973; then the homosexuals came out of their closets; then the sodomites had their parades with the police giving their okay; then the homosexuals wanted the government’s perks on marriage, so they pushed hard for same-sex marriages; then they sold organs from the murdered fetuses, and so on. Who led all of this? Was it the Blacks? Was it the Browns? Was it the mixed-race crowd? Was it the Whites?
No. The true leaders where the ones that have promoted multiculturalism, celebrating every culture--no matter how backward and barbaric--except for Western White European culture.
The true leaders are the ones that have driven the Christian faith and its heritage from the public square by utilizing their countless criminal organizations like the ADL and ACLU with all of its Communist lawyers. Our children will soon grow up in a society wiped clean of any vestiges of the Bible, Christ or the cross.
These leaders have created, pushed and profited from pornography and perverse entertainment. The so-called “Chosen” make up 90% of all American pornographers. The Hollywood they run has mainstreamed wife-swapping, pedophilia, licentious sex, drug and alcohol abuse and self-indulgence. Bestiality will be next on the list. In fact, they are already releasing a documentary portraying men who have sex with horses.
They have brought homosexuality out of the closet and into our faces. Sodomy is shown in their media and movies as normal, healthy, enjoyable and something to celebrate openly in as brazen a fashion as possible. They have founded, funded and fronted every homosexual advocacy group in America. To oppose the flaunting of homosexuality is now considered “old-fashioned” and “reactionary.”
They have brainwashed our children. With their control of the institutes of “higher” learning, they have filled the minds of the young with Marxism, deconstructionism, relativism, anti-white self-hatred and lies about “diversity” and non-judgmentalism. These different “isms” are the pernicious lies that have jettisoned the positive “isms” that once bloomed in our society: patriotism, altruism, individualism, nationalism, etc.
They have made abortion into a sacrament. Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) and every other leftist pro-abortion promoter and provider in America is run from top to bottom by the Jews. Unlimited and unregulated abortion on demand is lauded and touted in the controlled media as a positive social good for the United States. Forty-three years after Roe v. Wade and with over 70 million abortions under their belts, these same groups still cheer and applaud for more. And with most abortion rights organizations top-heavy with Jews and a large percentage of abortion doctors also being Jewish, they have definitely made a killing out of killing.
They have sold us the packaged and deliberate lies of egalitarianism. All races are equal in intelligence, morality, accomplishments and potential, except of course, for one. The Jewish “race”, as their own leaders refer to their people, is declared by Jewish anthropologists to be “superior.”
According to their own scientists, Jews are uniquely intelligent, uniquely moral and a group that stands above all other groups in its supremacy. They truly believe they have a god-given right to rule over us. To criticize their pernicious power is the most egregious societal taboo. It will result in the loss of reputation and livelihood and remove any individual--no matter how acclaimed they once were--from the realm of “respectable” society.
“Our race(speaking of the Jews) is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves.” -- Menachem Begin; (Israeli Prime Minister, 1977-1983).
And on and on it goes. Everything on this list can be easily verified. Jews, mostly Zionist in nature, have spearheaded every movement or cause that now threatens our destruction and brings us to the edge of extinction and annihilation. And now the leviathan of Zionism and Talmudic Judaism extends its tentacles into every facet of our country and indeed into almost every other nation and culture residing upon the earth. With its expansion comes the debauching and sundering of all peoples, all heritages and all traditions. What will we do to stop it? Will we fear and quake before the straw men buzzwords of “anti-Semite,” “racist” and “hater,” or will we stand and battle for the survival of civilization?
What the Catholic Church Says about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ
The Roman Catholic Church in 1965, as part of the Vatican II council, published a long-anticipated declaration entitled Nostra Aetate, offering a new approach to the question of Jewish responsibility for the crucifixion of Jesus. The document argued that modern-day Jews could not be held accountable for Jesus’ crucifixion and that not all Jews alive at the time of the crucifixion were guilty of the crime.
I have read many Jewish statements that say that they were not guilty of the murder of Jesus Christ. Even though the historical legacy of the Bible has laid the groundwork for and nurtured nearly two thousand years of anti-Jewish sentiment. Nevertheless, many Jewish scholars say that there were only four groups of people who were there at Pilate’s questioning. They are:
- Judas Iscariot, [who was the only Jewish disciple, Ed.] who betrayed Jesus into the hands of the Jewish authorities
- The Jewish leaders. This group was made up of Caiaphas the High Priest, the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes. They united to form the Sanhedrin of Jerusalem which tried Jesus on the charge of blasphemy
- The Jewish mob of Jerusalem. Though their role in Matthew 27 seems passive and subordinated under the control and influence of the chief priests and elders, their guilt in the death of Christ cannot be overlooked. They had the opportunity afforded them by Pilate to have Jesus released, but they chose instead a criminal named Barabbas
- The Romans, comprised of the Procurator Pontius Pilate who handed Jesus over to the Roman soldiers to be crucified.
Let us have a quick look at this fourth group: the Roman soldiers. In Matthew 27:24-25: “When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.”
This was NOT the Roman soldiers who answered; but the Jewish priests and elders.
Matthew 27:27 says: “Then the soldiers of the governor [Pilate] took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto Him the whole band [of soldiers].”
Then the next verses recount how “they” crucified Him. But, and this is very important, the words “of soldiers” is in italics in the King James Version and other Bible translations. Look in your own Bible. This means that the words were ADDED BY THE TRANSLATORS. The book of Mark’s account is almost identical to Matthew’s, except Mark stops with the words, “the whole band.” The only “band” referred to in all these accounts is the “band” of THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE PHARISEES.
Mark 15:16: “And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.”
John 18:3: “Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh there with lanterns and torches and weapons…”
John 18:12: “Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him…”
Leaving out the words “of soldiers,” inserted by the translators, it becomes obvious that both accounts say the same thing, i.e. that Jesus Christ was taken from Pilate’s presence by the soldiers, and then turned over to the “band” OF THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND PHARISEES: Nowhere in the four Gospels are the Roman soldiers referred to as a “band”.
John 19:15-16: “But they cried out, Away with [Him], away with [Him], crucify Him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. Then delivered he Him, therefore, unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led [Him] away.”
Many Jewish scholars say that the verse “Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children,” has been misused by anti-Jew bigots for centuries as their excuse to “blame” the Jews for Christ's Sacrifice. But they ignore (from which comes the word “ignorant”) that Christ Himself was a Jew -- Who came to be Sacrificed at that very time, at that very Passover. It was the LORD’s will for it to happen -- and no one has the right to say that the LORD's will is wrong.
What a mess! Jesus was NOT a Jew, He was an Israelite! And there is a great difference. And that is the problem: There is no distinguishing between Jew, Israelite of the House of Judah or Israelite of the House of Israel. They are all sorta made the same people. That is the big lie!
What saith the Holy Scriptures?
In the Biblical account of Jesus’ death on the Cross, the true identity of those who hated and crucified our LORD is given, so who does the Bible say murdered Jesus? Was it the Romans as the Jews say, or was it the Jews, as believers in the Bible say? Or was it someone else? In any murder investigation, the authorities usually seek answers to the following questions:
- Were there any previous attempts to kill the deceased, and if so, by whom?
- Had anyone shown hatred enough of the deceased that it might bring about a desire to kill him?
- Had the deceased, prior to his death, named any who might kill him?
- Who was last seen with the victim? Or who might have had him under their physical control?
- What is the testimony of witnesses to the murder?
In the case of a murder committed many centuries ago, such as the death of the Christ, we must avail ourselves of the historical record of events of that time. In this case we have quite a complete written account of the first years of our Christian era. We shall take each of the above questions in the order asked.
1. Were There Any Previous Attempts to kill Jesus? If so, by whom?
We read but a short way into the Gospels before we find the first attempt to kill Jesus. In chapter 2 of Matthew we find that King Herod of Jerusalem attempted to trick the Wise Men into revealing the location of the child Jesus. When God prevented that, we find that Herod “was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under” in a vain attempt to kill the infant Jesus. Herod, who was an Edomite, was driven to commit INFANTICIDE on JUDEA’S Children under two years old to prevent the Messiah from growing up! In another, the book of Mark tells of the healing of a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath day, following which “the Pharisees went forth, and straightaway took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him” -- (Mark 3:1-6). So here we see the Pharisees planning with others the killing of Jesus. The Herodians are identified in secular history as the Edomites. But the Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Volume 5, page 41; says: “And Edom is in Modern Jewry.”After another healing, we read in John 5:16-18: “And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay Him... (and) sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was His Father.”John 8:59 says: “Then took they (Scribes and Pharisees) up stones to cast at Him....” Many other instances of thwarted attempts by the religious leaders to kill Jesus in Jerusalem are told in all four Gospels. It became so bad that John says in chapter John 7:1: “After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for He would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill Him.”The Bible says the there was a people who previously attempted to murder Jesus: Herodians, Pharisees, Chief Priests, Elders andScribes who were Jews. Romans are not mentioned. It was the Jews who previously attempted to murder Jesus.
2. Had Anyone Shown Enough Hatred of Jesus that it might Bring a Desire to Kill Him?
Other than the actual attempts to murder Jesus, we find the Gospels tell of open ridicule, trickery, and hatred of Jesus by the chief priests, the scribes, and the Pharisees. In Matthew 15:12 we see the Disciples told Jesus the Pharisees were “offended” by what Jesus had said.
Luke tells us that after one miracle “they (Scribes and Pharisees) were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus” -- (Luke 6:11).
At the same time the religious authorities hated Jesus, we find that all four Gospels tell of the multitudes of the people who came to praise Him for His miracles. No antagonism was evidenced from the people, although not all believed, of course.
After Jesus overthrew the tables of the moneychangers in the temple, Mark says, “And the scribes and the chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy Him: for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished (impressed) at His doctrine.” - (Mark 11:18)
Fear of the loss of their wealth and power made these greedy men desire the end of Jesus’ miracles. After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead we find that: “... then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, what do we? For, this man doeth many miracles. IF WE LET HIM THUS ALONE, all men will believe on Him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation” -- (John 11:47-48).
Verse 53 says, “Then from that day forth THEY took counsel together for to put Him [Jesus] TO DEATH.”
John 9:22 says “These words spoke his parents, because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had agree already that, if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.”
This hatred for Jesus became so well known in Judea that we read that “no man spake openly of Him (Jesus) FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS”—John 7:13.
And in John 12:19 we see the disciples had the same fear: “Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews…”
Other than actual attempts to murder Jesus, we find the Gospels tell of open ridicule, trickery, and hatred of Jesus by the chief priests, the scribes, and the Pharisees. It was so bad that even His disciples and friends were afraid of what the Jews would do to them for their belief. It didn’t say that they feared the Romans, but the Jews.
3. Had Jesus, Prior to His Death, named any who might kill him?
Sometimes a murder case is solved when authorities find that the victim knew, or suspected, that certain persons might attempt to take his life. Using that as a lead, they can then investigate further. Since Christians believe that God cannot ever lie; then who Jesus Christ said would be His murderers—that is all the evidence that they need.
Jesus told the twelve disciples of His coming death, and He named the men who would cause it. “From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto His disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of THE ELDERS AND THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND SCRIBES, AND BE KILLED, and be raised again the third day” (Matthew 16:21).
There are 9 places telling of His prophecy of His own death and 5 times He names the chief priests, scribes, elders, and Pharisees as those who will kill Him!
In the Gospel of John these “Jews” are identified in the Eighth Chapter as “the scribes and Pharisees” (verse 3), at which time Jesus delivers to them a scathing rebuke including these words: “ye seek to kill Me, because My Word hath no place in you” -- (verse 37). His rebuke so angered them that in verse 59 it says, “Then took they up stones to cast at Him.”
In the parable of the Husbandmen that Jesus taught, the conclusion was: “But when the Husbandmen saw the Son, they said among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us KILL Him, and let us seize on His inheritance”—Matthew 21:38. Verse 45 and 46 read, “And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that He spake of them. But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitude, because they took Him for a prophet.”
In Luke’s account he says, “And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on Him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that He had spoken this parable against them” -- (Luke 20:19).
They understood that Jesus knew it was they who would attempt to kill Him. Jesus didn’t tell His disciples that the Romans would murder Him but the Scribes, Pharisees, Elders and Chief Priests—it was the Jews that would murder Him.
4. Who was last seen with Jesus, or who might have Jesus under their physical Control?
Matthew, Mark, and Luke each tell of the final plans which were made to kill Jesus, identifying the men who made the plans, and then proceeded to carry them out.
Matthew 26:3-4 reads, “Then assembled together THE CHIEF PRIESTS, and THE SCRIBES, and THE ELDERS of the people, unto the palace of THE HIGH PRIEST, who was called Caiaphas, and consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety and KILL Him.”
A pretty plain testimony, is it not? Describing the actual capture, he writes, “And while He yet spake, lo, JUDAS, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, FROM THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND ELDERS of the people” -- (vs 47).
Mark 14, verses 1 and 43, tell the same story, as does Luke 22 verse 2 and 52 with Luke also adding the “captains of the temple.” All three, in the same chapters, relate how Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus to His captors, with Mark and Luke stating that it was the CHIEF PRIESTS who had agreed to pay Judas money for the betrayal. He didn’t pay it to the Romans!
That the high priest, Caiaphas, was privy to all this, is proven again when Jesus was taken directly to his palace. John, in telling of the people believing Jesus’ miracles, writes, “The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things (said He was the Christ) concerning Him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him” -- (John 7:32).
He later identified Jesus’ captors as “a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees” and also, “the band and the captain and officers of the Jews” -- (John 18:3, 12).
When Peter attempted to defend Jesus, He said, “Put up again thy sword into his place... Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to My Father and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?”
Christ gave the Disciples to understand that He MUST be allowed to be taken captive, “Then all the disciples forsook Him, and fled” -- (Matthew 26:56b).
Nowhere in all the New Testament Scriptures is anyone accused of being a part of Jesus’ betrayal and capture except those who were directly connected with, or paid by, THE RELIGIOUS RULERS OF JERUSALEM! It wasn’t the Romans.
5. What is the Testimony of Witnesses at the murder of Jesus?
From the time of His being taken by physical force, until His death on the Cross, Jesus came into the presence, and under the control, of the civil authorities, both of Judea, and of Rome. Because of that, many attempt to blame the Romans, through Pilate, for the murder of Christ.
It is true that Rome was in full military control of Judea at that time. It is also true that Rome had ordered that no one could be put to death by the local authorities. The chief priests were allowed to judge and punish for minor crimes, but the death sentence could be imposed ONLY by the Roman governor. This, of course, was Pilate.
It was for that reason that the Jewish priests, though they had pronounced the death sentence on Him (“He is guilty of death” -- Matthew 26:66. “All the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death” -- Matthew 27:1), dared not carry out their sentence. They had to have Pilate’s approval of it to make it official!
This is verified in John 18:31, “Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye Him, and judge Him according to your Law. The Jews therefore said unto him (Pilate), It is not lawful for us to put any man to death.” They could have whipped Him, but their desire was His DEATH! So, “when they bound Him, they led Him away, and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor,” (Matthew 27:2) and set about to FORCE Pilate to give his consent for them to put Jesus Christ to death.
At first Pilate refused, and the details of his several attempts to release Jesus are told by all four Gospel writers. Pilate went to great lengths to convince the Priests and Pharisees that they should not put Jesus to death.
In his attempts to save Jesus, Pilate had sent Him to Herod because Herod had authority in Galilee where Jesus began His ministry (see verses 5-7) but Herod only “mocked Him, and arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate” (verse 11). Pilate then went on, “I will therefore chastise Him, and release Him” -- (verse 16).
John verified Pilate's desire to release Jesus: “I find in Him no fault at all... will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?” -- (John 18:38-39). Much more could be quoted of the almost desperate attempts by Pilate to save Jesus from death. But each time he was immediately threatened with mob violence and insurrection.
The final threat to Pilate was an accusation of treason to Caesar if he were to release Jesus Christ: “Pilate sought to release Him: but the Jews cried out, saying, if thou let this man go, thou are not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar” -- (John 19:12).
“And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they (the chief priests) required... (and) he delivered Jesus to THEIR will.... THEY led Him away... THEY crucified Him..." - (Luke 23:24-33). Luke does NOT say the soldiers crucified Jesus, but the chief priests.
John also: “And he (Pilate) saith unto the Jews, Behold your king! But they cried out, Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The Chief priests answered, we have no king but Caesar. Then delivered he Him therefore unto THEM to be crucified and THEY took Jesus, and led Him away” -- (John 19:14-16). Verse 18 says, “THEY crucified Him.”
In John 19:6, John quotes Pilate as saying to the chief priests and officers, “Take ye Him, and crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him,” making it plain, as did Matthew and Luke, that Pilate meant that if Jesus was to be killed, it would have to be the Jewish rulers who did it.
About 20 years later, the Apostle Paul wrote to the Israelite church in Thessalonica and said: “For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews, Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men”—1 Thessalonians 2:14-15.
Conclusion
In most Christian countries for the last two thousand years the vast majority of Christians believed that the assembled members of the Jewish community told Pilate, “His blood be on us and our children” and that that is exactly what they meant. This is the source for the Christian belief that later generations of Jews are also guilty of deicide, the crime of killing God.
And don’t be fooled when the Jews cry: You are anti-Semitic. For the vast majority of Arabs are Semitic; Christians are Semitic; but only about 7% of all Jews are Semitic. So, who is being anti-Semitic?
And do you know what the Jewish Talmud says about the death of Jesus? It asserts that Jesus Christ was put to death by a Jewish court for the crimes of sorcery and sedition. In fact, in the Talmudic account, the Romans played no role in His death.
Let’s review:
- Were there any previous attempts to kill Jesus, and if so, by whom? The Bible says the Jews attempted the murder of Jesus several times before His actual death.
- Had anyone shown hatred enough of the Jesus that it might bring about a desire to kill Him? The Bible identifies that it was the Jews who had enough hatred to bring about a desire to kill Him.
- Had Jesus, prior to his death, named any who might kill Him? The Bible says that Jesus named the Jews as being the ones who would kill Him.
- Who was last seen with Jesus? Or who might have had Jesus under their physical control? The Bible says that it was the Jews.
- What is the testimony of witnesses to the murder of Jesus? According to the Bible, all the witnesses say that it was the Jews who were guilty of the murder of Jesus Christ.
And there are a lot more verses than the ones that were presented today. The Bible is plain to everyone who reads and studies it. Jews killed Jesus Christ.
Shouldn’t we be like the people who founded our nation when their charter (Rhode Island) said to: “be in the better capacity to defend themselves in their rights and liberties AGAINST ALL ENEMIES of the Christian faith.” Learn who are enemies are, and what they believe, and what they are doing to us. Be strong and of good courage, fear not the Jews.
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel.
