Israelites, Israelis?
Let us then grant (EC 368) that the orders of Almighty God to
exterminate certain peoples in the Old Testament (e.g. I Sam. XV) were
an act of justice and mercy towards the pagans themselves, and an act
also designed to help the Israelites forward towards cradling the
Incarnate God, Our Lord Jesus Christ, when he would come many centuries
later. This cradle the Israelites did provide, especially through the
Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom the entire human race owes a boundless debt
of gratitude. If any of us does get to Heaven, it will be only through
her intercession.
Then what connection can there be between those
Jews through whom salvation comes (Jn. IV, 22) and the mass of Jews
today, who are either massacring Palestine or supporting the massacre,
morally or financially? The majority of today’s Jews being Ashkenazy
Jews, they may well be no blood-descendants of Abraham, but be that as
it may, they have certainly absorbed through the Talmud, the holy
book of post-Christian Judaism, what Our Lord called “the leaven of the
Pharisees and Sadducees” (Mt. XVI, 11), meaning the spirit of his bitter
enemies who crucified him and have fought his Church ever since. How
can his Chosen People have turned into some of his consistently worst
enemies? (If the mere question seems “anti-semitic,” let it be recalled
that truth is good while “anti-semitism” is bad, so nothing true can be
“anti-semitic” and nothing “anti-semitic” can be true. What follows is
the truth, and has nothing whatsoever to do with so-called
“anti-semitism”).
Firstly, if the Chosen People turned against
their God, the problem may seem chronological but it is not. Throughout
the Old Testament there were Israelites who turned against God, for
instance the worshippers of the Golden Calf or the Jews exiled to
Babylon. God frequently had to punish his own “stiff-necked” and
rebellio
us
people. Likewise from the beginning of the New Testament down to our own
day there have always been outstanding Jewish converts, like St Paul,
who was as Jewish as could be (cf. Rom. IX, 1–5; II Cor. XI, 21–22;
Phil. III, 4–6). The difference between Israelites and Israelis is the
same difference as there has always been between those of any race who
love God and those who rebel against him. The true “Judeo-Christian”
line stretches from Abel through, for instance, Abraham, Moses, David
and the Mother of God to the Catholic Church. The false
“Judeo-Christian” but true “Judeo-Masonic” line stretches from the
accursed Cain through, for instance, the killers of God’s prophets to
Anas and Caiphas to modern Freemasonry, which was created by Jews and is
still controlled by them for purposes of fighting the Catholic Church,
even if many Masons are ignorant of the fact.
Well and good, but
is not the contrast between Is
raelites
and Israelis especially sharp? Yes, because as the old saying goes, “The
higher they are, the harder they fall.” Once the Chosen People refused
to be the special servants of God, as they have largely done from the
Incarnation onwards, they were bound to become the special servants of
the Devil. For them there could be nothing in between. And what was
behind that refusal? In one word, pride. Instead of using God’s special
gifts to them for his glory, they bent them to their own glory. Before
their Messiah came, they misconceived him as their material instead of
spiritual saviour, so that when he came they refused to recognize him,
and from then on they fought him for having replaced their racially
exclusive Mosaic religion with the racially all-inclusive Catholic
religion, open to all races.
And what can Catholics do to resist
the overwhelming material dominance of the once Chosen Ones all around
us? Materially, next to nothing, but a single soul prayin
g
spiritually and sincerely for God’s kingdom to come and for his will to
be done can prevail on God to move material mountains, child’s play for
God. He only allows that dominance in order to drive us back to him.
Kyrie Eleison.
