At last, the world will be forced to come to grips with an age-old problem. The survival of the human race and of civilization has finally come to rest upon the survival of the Jews, the founders of Western civilization.

Although it has much in common with other types of racism and bigotry, anti-Semitism has a special religious, spiritual dimension that make it unique. As history shows, the suffering that people encounter tends to either strengthen or destroy them, depending on how they deal with it.

The Jewish race has survived the test of persecution, perhaps for a special purpose. The human race has “an inescapable sense of guilt,” says Karl Barth, the pre-eminent Swiss theologian. People, individually and collectively, are compelled to project their guilts onto a scapegoat.

In other words, people look for someone or something on which to unload their frustrations. They look for someone they can hold accountable for their problems, someone next to whose guilt they can feel innocent. Although this human phenomenon is rarely adequately explained, history records its ramifications.

The 6 million Jews killed in Hitler’s Germany is certainly one of the most tragic examples of scapegoating on a massive scale. Pre-World War II Germany faced a hyperinflated economy, uncertainty and chaos — the perfect setting for tyranny. Adolf Hitler promised to bring order by eliminating those who were “to blame,” the handicapped, the Gypsies, and, particularly the Jews.

Faced with the same turbulence as the rest of German society, the Jews maintained a remarkable stability, economic resiliency, and a strong social structure. They stood out from the rest, a fact that made it all the easier to justify attacking them. Indeed, Hitler’s writings made it clear that he was envious of Jewish success.

In the last century, the world witnessed the Iraqi atrocities committed against the Kuwaitis: torture, murder, pillage and rape. What did the Kuwaitis do to deserve this? They were rich in oil and poorly armed. They were the perfect target on whom the Iraqis could vent their repressed rage, built up from living under a tyranny they were born into.

Lies and scapegoating paved the path for the Iraqis to plunder the largely unprotected Kuwaiti wealth.

In both examples, the formula is the same: a need to express hostility and frustration upon a weaker people who are not the actual cause of the problems suffered by the perpetrator.

More than any other race of people, the Jews have represented grace under pressure. They have resisted the horror of doing unto others what was done to them. By way of some mysterious grace they have retained their identity as God’s chosen people.

"Evil exists in this world as the enemy of God and people of good will."

By grace they have withstood the onslaught of viciousness. Looking back over the endless tide of bloodbaths, the Jewish race has been a relentless target. Amazingly, one out of every two Jews has been murdered over the last 800 years.

Yet the Jewish people continue to hold to the righteous roots that keep them a separate people. They fulfill a prophecy I believe is about to unfold. What we call Third World nations consist of populations of soulless beings, victims compulsively creating victims.

Those who somehow manage to retain their consciousness are persecuted, tortured and murdered. Their very presence becomes a threat to the existence of their damned brethren. 

Evil exists in this world as the enemy of God and people of good will. The innocent have always been the ones who suffer the persecution for just being who they are. Most often they are not even aware that they are good people or why they are hated.

Through thousands of years of suffering, the remnant gathered together into a great nation, under God, and they prospered. After the Holocaust, this same great nation was instrumental in re-establishing the state of Israel, which God had promised. And so it has come to pass that the godless, rogue nations have assembled to do battle against Israel and America.  

Tyrants tremble, for the guiding spirit of their collective evil hearts knows that the great and terrible day of reckoning is coming. The last Great War, called Armageddon, between the good of every race, color and creed, and the evil of every race, color and Creed, is about to come to pass.
