Heartrending history, and a warning

Published in 1992, this book has proved prophetic in giving early warning of the tide of Anti-Semitism currently spreading around the globe. Some passages are too painful to read; I had to avert my eyes in places, but the author explains the situation with great insight and clarity. The first chapter, Final Solution, provides holocaust experiences from the memoirs of survivors. I suggest sensitive readers handle this section with care. The author then explains how this horror was rooted in nearly 2000 years of dehumanisation of the Jewish people by Christians. Throughout history, the weapons used have been forced conversion, expulsion and finally, attempted annihilation. There are sickening quotes from Church fathers like St John Chrysostom, Bernard of Clairvaux and Peter the Venerable. Martin Luther's demented words from 1543 reveal the mind of a raving lunatic, whilst last century, the Lutheran theologian Gerhard Kittel made very disturbing statements. In the chapter A Blessed And Beautiful Stream, the author discusses Christians who loved the Jewish people. Foremost amongst them were Puritans like John Owen (1616 - 1683), Robert Leighton and Samuel Rutherford whose inspiring and moving words include a vision of Israel's restoration. There were also Scottish Presbyterians like Robert Murray M'Cheyne and others from different traditions. The next two chapters include discussions of the works of various Rabbis and thoughts from the Talmud, as well as a look at the Hebrew names of the early disciples and the significance of the Biblical feasts, days filled with prophetic meaning and spiritual truth. The narrative moves on to media bias and bigotry towards Israel, with glaring examples of anti-Israel reporting. Brown points out the frightening ideology that unites white supremacists, Leftists, Neo-Nazis, Islamists and certain conservatives. He quotes the words of David Duke, Louis Farrakhan, Abdul Aziz (the founder of Saudi Arabia), the then-mufti of Jerusalem Haj Al-Amin Al-Husseini, and some modern "Christian" preachers in the USA. The next chapter looks at ancient and modern lies and legends like the Blood Libel and the tale of the Wandering Jew. The sad fact is that if ridiculous, impossible and venomous lies are repeated long enough and loud enough, some people will believe them. Conspiracy theories abound today more than ever. This chapter also deals with holocaust denial and false history, for example the myth that the Khazar nation of around the 8th century gave rise to the European Jews, and that the Jewish people of today are supposedly not "true Jews." The strategies of assimilation, extermination and the current one of disinformation are explored. The author addresses the problem of Palestinian and Jewish refugees since 1948. Israel has absorbed approximately 700 000 refugees but the Arab nations simply do not want to absorb or assimilate Palestinian Arabs. Brown points out that the Inquisition is not over yet and quotes Scrip

The tragic story of the Church and the Jewish people.

This excellent book, which desperately needed to be written, is devoted primarily to the tragic relationship between the Christian Church and the Jewish people.The writer strives to impart to Christians the recognition of their legacy & heritage from the Jews that indeed existed in the early days of the Church whose members were nearly all Jews themselves.The author also studies the 'Israel bashing' in today's press/media together with the anti-Israel bias of the UN in relation to the Middle East situation. This plus the 'Christian' persecution of the Jews through the ages and even anti-Semtism preached through some channels of the 'Church' today. Included foremost is the flawed doctrine taught in some areas of 'replacement theology', which teaches that the 'Church' has 'replaced' Israel in all of God's promises. Despite these Divine promises being made directly to and in relation to the people and nation of Israel, and where those promises were unequivocally & unconditionally everlasting !Further to this the author actually examines & emphasises many of these Divine promises to Israel & the Jewish people in Scripture, past, present and future (Old & New Testaments).This superb book stresses in no uncertain terms that Christians need to understand the pain and suffering that countless 'pseudo-Christians' have brought upon the Jewish people over the years and the increasing necessity now for a healing and reconciliation of some magnitude.The writer illustrates that without an understanding of Scripture, many readers will fail to understand or in any way comprehend, the hatred and vilification towards the Jews throughout history & even the present day. The author reveals the force/person behind the massacres, the holocausts, the attempted genocide of the Jews and the attempts to destroy the State of Israel. That force being the Devil/Satan, whose passionate hatred and despising of the Jews is a reflection of his hatred of God outlined in the Bible. The same God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob and their descendants, the Jewish people. The people through whom God has chosen to reveal his plan of Salvation, His prophetic plan to return the Jewish people to their Land in the latter days and His prophetic plans for the nation surrounding where the Messiah will return. By destroying the Jewish people & their state, it is highly likely that Satan will be trying to fulfill his own probable intent of destroying God's prophetic plans in relation to His People and Land, of proving God's promises to be false and subsequently to have thwarted God's plans. Plans revealed that have promised that the Jewish people and Israel will never cease to exist and that God's promises will indeed be fulfilled.To those dubious amongst you I can only recommend that you get a copy of this book, read it for yourself and actually put everything to an intense personal scrutiny...irrespective of which faith, if any that you profess. This is a message and a book that shoul

Excellent Book

Worth every penny and more, this book tells it like it was and is. Covers from the first Christian persecution of the Jews to the Holocaust through today. No-one could ever be the same towards the Jewish people after reading this book!Highly Recommend!

Essential reading to understanding the Bible

This book is astounding and will make you cry and rejoice all in one reading. The author, a Messianiac Jew (believer in Yeshua, or Jesus), delivers a powerful message about the relationship between God and His chosen people, the Jews. The book dispells a number of commonly held misconceptions about the Jewish people and Christian views of Israel. He does this through historical writings and Biblical references. You will be amazed at the number of anti-semitic comments a number of "promminent christians' have made, including popes and Martin Luther. There is a detailed discussion about some incredible bias from the media; it is all in there. The author also has many Scriptures to explain those who believe (in error) that the Church has somehow replaced Israel. All of this is done in a loving, and non-arrogant tone which I appreciated.I would recommend this book to any Christian. To see the hideous statements/actions made by christians towards the Jews will break you heart, and help you understand God's heart a little better. I would also recommend this book to any Jew. You will begin to understand what Yeshua (Jesus) and Rabbi Saul (Paul) really said, and to see that the Christianity in the Bible is not what has been on display in the anti-semitic 'church'.
