      You must have been daydreaming while watching this guy express his deepseated disdain for Christianity in cleverly veiled ways such as reducing Christians to almost nothing but eternal persecutors of Christians, or as zealously focused on converting Jews along with converting the entire world, that Christianity owes its existence and ideas entirely to Judaism while Judaism derived absolutely nothing from Christianity (very untrue as Christianity has influenced their abandonment of animal sacrifices, evolution of synagogues from simply places of gathering to places of actual religious services, views on women, slaves, abandonment of most of the restrictive halakha prohibitions and prescriptions, etc.).
      His constant line that Jews just want to be left alone is so deceptive as they have always viewed their role in history and the world to be that of "guiding" all the other nations to a deference to the Jewish understand of G-d's laws for mankind, or as they put it - turning to Jerusalem as their moral authority. My point is not to denigrate Judaism in any way just to call attention to the reality that there is much more hostility to Christianity in traditional Jewish thinking (including presently) than this guy makes it out to be. He is after all, working for the Israeli Ministry of Tourism. Also evidently undetected is how this guy keeps describing Israel as a democratic, western nation at the same time as he defends in a veiled way the Jewish essence of Israel, its existence to perpetuate that identity and heritage, the special status of Jews whose identity is even defined by an allegedly secular state at the same time as Jews living in various countries have been at the forefront of having countries divest as completely as possible of their Christian heritage.
      Finally, what is this thing of having Jewish guides specifically assigned and trained to speak to Christian audiences? Guides are supposed to explain the structures or objects people on tour are seeing not to preach. My guess is that such guides are part of the institutionalized cooperation between fundamentalists Christian groups and Israel whereby it was agreed that at least part of their tours would be led by guides provided by Israel. There's a clear sense, in spite of the guide's claims of being nonpolitical and religiously neutral in his tour guiding, that his aim is to ingrain into his audiences an "awareness" of the Jewishness of Jesus and Christianity which then means that Christians have a duty to give unconditional support to Israel as the guardian of the Jewish tradition while at the same time leading them to realize that it is an adulteration of Judaism to inject the worship of Jesus Christ as G-d and the Messiah into it. The only reason I would go with a guide like this guy is a curiosity for learning what Jewish interpretations are given to various things in the New Testament.

      Vielleicht kann ich ihnen eine weitere Sichtweise anbieten und zwar zum Thema Nahtoderfahrung es wird ständig von einem Tunnel gesprochen bei dem am anderen Ende ein Licht ist und ziemlich oft mit den vorangegangenen trifft auch mit Leuten die man nicht kennt aber auch zur Familie gehören.
      Dann wird oft von einen Licht gesprochen das unbeschreiblich schön ist und verschiedene Episoden seines Lebens sieht und selbst zur Einsicht kommt in seinen Leben etwas zu ändern.
      Ich habe die kulturellen und religiösen Sachen bewusst rausgelassen, da sie meiner Meinung diese Sicht zu stark verzerrt.
      Es wäre gut sich auch damit zu befassen auch wenn die Leute mit Nahtoderfahrung nicht gerade so viele sind .
      Vielleicht braucht man gar nicht so viele Gesetze und Gebote wenn die andere Wirklichkeit nur darauf aus ist das wir uns zum besseren ändern und das es nicht durch Drohung oder Strafen geschieht sondern durch Einsicht.
      Die einzige Hölle wird wohl die uneinsichtigkeit sein die zu einer Endlosschleife führen kann so lange man eben uneinsichtig ist.

      The Christian's bibles are just very badly mistranslated and corrupted versions of the Torah/Tanach (The Real Word of G_d) with a lot changed including names, a whole lot added, and a whole lot taken out. Everything that G_d said not to do, Christianity did! Christianity lies! NO Hebrew/Jew was ever named Jesus, nor John, nor especially James. There is no letter J in the Hebrew alephbet nor does any of the Hebrew letters even make a J sound. Try actually reading the scriptures where G_d gave the Torah and the Commandments to Mosche and the Children/Nation of Israel on Mt. Sinai. G_d specifically told them in no uncertain terms that neither they nor any of their descendents all through time are to Never veer to the right nor left of the Torah/Tanach! Never!!! Do you understand what that means! G_d also told them in no uncertain terms that neither they nor any of their descendents all through time are to Never accept anybody else's religion! Never!!! Do you understand what that means? The One True Creator G_d also warned not to add to, nor subtract from the Torah/Tanach, but Christianity did it anyway. Christianity adopted way too many idolatrous and pagan beliefs contrary to what The One True Creator G_d actually said.

      @@specialagentorange4329 "The" Messiah, or just a messiah? If you believe he's "The One," then there's nobody else to follow, and he's the ultimate, the endgame. He's the star of the Old Testament, hailed as "The Redeemer and Savior," the cream of the crop, the one destined to put all the pieces back together. So you can see why it's pretty outlandish to label him the messiah and then turn around and say, 'but hey, he's just a regular prophet and Muhammad is the headliner, outshining Jesus.' It just doesn't jive. In the same vein, I might argue that Baha'u'llah is the prophet following Muhammad, even though it's plainly obvious to Muslims that Muhammad is the final prophet. Similarly, for Christians, the suggestion that Jesus isn't the ultimate prophet is just as ridiculous. At least the Jews are consistent; they simply don't recognize Jesus as a prophet. That stance seems more logical than twisting and warping the concept.

Also as a Christian, Jesus instructs us to stand by our Jewish brothers & sisters and to help bless them.

      How about not teaching anything about Christ and Christianity in the school. That looks strange. Probably they could not have formally taught anything good about Christ, because Christ was a Jewish rebel who claimed that he is the son of the God. One has to read this together with the custom of orthodox Jews for ‘ritual spitting’ when they see the ways of cross processions in Jerusalem. There are several videos doing the rounds on this. In the absence of formal teaching in schools, wherever Jewish Israeli students learn as they grow up would be the ‘oral history’ which they learn at home and at religious schools. It’s clear that this is not quite charitable on Christ.

Something inside told me if I could just see him I would be ok. On 9/3/02 I saw him in a dream. I instantly woke up and felt like I was hit by lightning, not in a bad way. He took away my desire to drink and and the years of guilt I carried with me. I cried my eyes out for hours. Could not believe he would do that for such a bad person. I have not had a drop of alcohol since then and don’t even think about doing it.

    So interesting to hear the Israeli perspective, Oren! Thanks for being honest about your beliefs. You are a gift - I so appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share it with the world - it is very enlightening. I am one of millions of protestant American Christians that love Israel and its people. Despite the horrible persecution Jews have suffered at the hands of so-called Christians ... any serious Christian who follows the Bible and its truth about God's love ... will have a deep affinity for His People, and a belief in God's promises for the state of Israel and Jewish people as a whole (and we don't have to be Amish to do so). Right-thinking Christians don't believe we have taken the place of Judaism, but we DO believe we have Judaism to thank for our own religion! For me and my friends, it is not "our religion against theirs". It's ... "our religion is built upon and grateful for the foundation of Judaism" - a very different and loving perspective. In fact, in the late 1700's, America was founded by mostly Christian men who knew, understood and believed the Bible so much, they created a safe place for Jews to live in America - hence why America has for the most part supported modern Israel since its inception. We consider America to have been founded by "Judeo-Christianity" because Judiasm is such a vital part of Christianity. With regard to combining two opposing faiths, we could also never imagine a "Muslim Christian" ... as there is no combining those two belief systems. It's also not possible for a Christian gentile to be a Jew (that is, devoted only to Judaism), because even though we have Judaism to thank for our foundation, Jesus Christ is the vital part of our belief system. But a Messianic Jewish Christian (that is, a Jewish person who has accepted Christ) is quite possible! Because Christianity is in every way an extension of Judaism - in fact we believe, a fulfillment of it. A couple of points: You're right to say Christians don't typically read the Quran or other religious books (unless they are in a course studying all religions or something). However, serious Christians DO in fact read the Jewish Bible and know it very well! Again, this is because authentic Christians are deeply aware that Judaism is the source and the reason we have Jesus, and we believe so much of Judaism, starting with Abraham, points to Christ. Therefore, we read and know the Tanakh, and are so very thankful to God's chosen people (the Jews) and what their relationship with God has taught us. In fact, we believe the seven feasts, down to the minute details of those feasts point toward Jesus (the first four feasts of spring were already fulfilled by Jesus in His first coming, the last three in the fall will be fulfilled in His second coming). Also, in the Jewish Bible, Jesus is depicted both as a suffering servant and a conquering king (of the Davidic line). This could be confusing until one realizes His first coming was as a suffering servant who died as the ultimate sacrifice for sin - an act that fulfilled the Mosaic law and ended the need for any more sacrifices (therefore, it's no accident that Jerusalem and the temple sacrifice system was destroyed in 70 A.D. - less than a generation away from Jesus' sacrifice (around 33 A.D.). So now, belief and acceptance of Jesus and His sacrifice is what brings salvation and forgiveness for all sin. Faith (belief) is everything ... just as in the Bible (Old Testament), it says "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted unto him as righteousness"(Genesis 15:6). But Jesus' second coming will be as a conquering King (who eventually rules) - and this will be the fulfillment of the last three feasts and the parts of the Jewish Bible that depict Him as such. All of Jesus' initial followers were Jewish of course, as was He - and we have those Jewish disciples to thank for spreading Christianity and most dying a horrible martyr's death in doing so! But as a whole, the leadership of ancient Israel rejected Jesus and taught posterity to do the same. As a result, God opened the door for the messiah of Israel to be the messiah for gentiles as well, and as a sacrifice for the sins of the whole world (something God knew would happen all along ... as God created and loved the whole world, but chose one people (the Jews) to represent Him). And from this chosen people ... their messiah became a gift to this world. As far as the temple being built before the messiah comes ... the temple WAS rebuilt by King Herod, just before Jesus was born. Many Christians believe a third temple will also be rebuilt before Jesus comes back the second time (and there's talk in Israel of doing just that). All Jews coming together in Israel has (in essence) happened, with the miraculous modern state of Israel coming together in 1948. Even though all Jews do not live there, they are welcomed there - and many consider it "home". And one day, Christians believe Jesus will rule from there at His second return (and all Jews could live there at that time, if they'd like). As far as peace before the messiah (we believe Jesus) comes? No, there was not peace the first time Jesus came - the Jews were under Roman rule when Jesus was born. As far as Jesus' second coming? This gets into deep eschatology, in which there are varying interpretations ... but the New Testament indicates an anti-christ or anti-christ system coming into fruition, and he will establish peace for only a small season ... THEN, all hell breaks loose, and Jesus Christ will return for a second time (this time as a conquering king). I could say so much more here, but I'll just say this: God is STILL one God! The Trinity (God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit) are all contained within ONE. Just as humans are three in one - the soul (mind, will, emotions), the body, and the spirit ... God is is three in one as well. Jesus said, "If you've seen Me, you've seen the Father." Some people find this difficult to understand ... but it's not at all difficult for me. Jews that have opened their minds to the New Testament have been shocked at just how Jewish it is, and how in the New Testament, every Jew (including Jesus) was initially following the Mosaic Law. They also become amazed at how Jesus proves Himself to be the prophesied messiah in so many layers and on so many levels - which frees the Jewish reader, enlightens him and gives him such a profound hope in Y-hw-h, Himself!
    So sorry I've written a long book in this comments section, but I thank you, Oren, for your insight and your service to the rest of us ... both as a tour guide in Israel and also on the internet! God bless you!

Everything that G_d said not to do, Christianity did! Christianity lies! NO Hebrew/Jew was ever named Jesus, nor John, nor especially James. There is no letter J in the Hebrew alephbet nor does any of the Hebrew letters even make a J sound. Try actually reading the scriptures where G_d gave the Torah and the Commandments to Mosche and the Children/Nation of Israel on Mt. Sinai. G_d specifically told them in no uncertain terms that neither they nor any of their descendents all through time are to Never veer to the right nor left of the Torah/Tanach! Never!!!

    This was a brilliant video. I'd like to add a story. I'm a Canadian Jew who lived for many years in a small town in Eastern Canada where we were the only Jewish family. Most of my colleagues were believing Christians and we worked well together. I was immersed in their world. When I moved back to Toronto, I studied Hebrew in a night class with an Israeli. Although my Hebrew class had all Jews in it, in the afternoon our teacher taught a group of Christians. One day, she turned to us in the evening class of Jews and said, "I was just in my afternoon class with a lot of Christians, and did you know that Christians -- they believe Jesus is God?" Of course my first reaction, as a diaspora Jew, was, "Duh!" But it saddened me that she was so ignorant; what an incredible gap in her education! The entire Western world is rooted in Christianity, and I think the Israeli school system does have an obligation at least minimally to teach something about Christianity. I know that Israelis read a lot of English literature; you simply cannot understand it without some knowledge of Christianity, as so many symbols and metaphors are rooted in Christian symbolism and Christian motifs. How can you visit Notre Dame without knowing something about Christianity, just to give one example? The stained glass windows would be meaningless, as would the actual shape of the cathedral. Or, for example, at the level of children's books, how can you read the beautiful Narnia stories and fully understand them without knowing that Aslan the Lion represents Jesus? One more point: One thing Israelis should also understand is that the American Founders, all Christians, were steeped in the Hebrew Bible. Men like Adams and Washington had deep respect for what they read as the Old Testament, and of course Washington set a major precedent by establishing official tolerance of Jews.

      Indeed, not knowing about Christianity is a pretty guaranteed way to be grossly ignorant of the world, including the diaspora, and even the founders of Israel (most of whom lived in Christian heritage countries). Even Israeli government design largely comes from Christian, not Jewish culture. It's pretty ridiculous to claim not to 'need' Christianity. Jews need a complete knowledge of their faith and understanding if OT prophecy. The Orthodox understand that implicitly. The question is whether Christianity fulfills this. Either it does or it doesn't. Practically, without Christians today, Israel wouldn't survive as we are their only reliable allies. Not wanting to be harmed is very different than being left alone. Lastly, it is a false history to pretend that Judaism post Christ is the same. Much of the structure now was to contend with the Christian messianic claims. It's not neutral re Christianity (for example the Talmud).

      Are Jewish soldiers and civilians offended by Christian support for them? Are they offended that we pray in Jesus name for their safety, healing both mentally and physically, for wisdom for your leaders? By the way, I was aghast the first time I went into a Catholic church and saw Jesus nail to the cross bleeding. The Catholic Church and Christian
      Churches are very different in their beliefs although they both believe in Jesus. You will not find Jesus on a cross in any Christian Church. We believe he rose from the dead. I’m not sure why they continue to leave him on the cross. I would not talk to a Jew about Jesus unless I was ask a question. I think anyone would be hard-pressed to stop Christians from supporting the Jewish people.

      First of all the word Christian was giving to the believers (who was Jews) by none believers.
      The believers considered their selves never changing their faith in Judaism. They were just excepting what their faith taught them on the coming of the Messiah. The point is that they NEVER CHANGED FAITH (they did not start a new religion).
      When it comes to non Jews (gentiles) who want to except the Messiah. The Bible says we are crafted into the Jewish family.
      So the world has it wrong ! There is not two religions ( Christianity and Judaism ) ! There is ONLY ONE ! That is what it means in the Bible when it says through the Jews we are saved.

      The sins don't control free will. Free will results in sin. Therefore it was mans free will that resulted in the death of Jesus and Jesus knew this. Therefore his sacrifice was predetermined.
      Sin is subjective. Jesus promoted thievery and did nothing to stop slavery and indentured servitude even though he created the condition on the planet for man to have the desire to use slavery and indentured servitude as part of its economics. Also Jesus did not prevent misogyny.

They know the struggle is-real, they don't know they can lay their burdens down. They've carried the weight of the world, ever since Israel became the first Nation to have One God and the first nation to be delivered from slavery and the first nation to suffer backsliding and then be restored, etc., etc.... they are the first fruits. God's first born.
      Still, God will never leave them, nor forsake them. He promised and God is not a promise breaker. Us sinners, are. Until we confess and repent, which is to accept that we break our promises; God will remain to keep His.

      Well biggest part for Jews to accept Jesus has been the false apparent church the Catholics and then the Protestants who were never Christians ( nor the Amish). The true Church never persecuted Jews, but was persecuted by them and that was the Biblical Jews and then gentile converts who were Monarchians holding one God and no Trinity (3 god) or dualist ( 2 god). Oneness Apostolic s did not come from the Trinity religious idea. Jews are blinded to the Messiah and who Jesus truly was. They didn't understand that Jesus said in 3 days he would raise the theme, that it was not a building, but his flesh, the SON Being THE FLESH OF GOD. ISA. 62 is one of many passages showing Jesus who he was, it is but a drop of passages in the O.T. doing so. Israel will eventually lose in their warring against Muslims and the World and the antiChrist will come about and Israel will then have the 2 witnesses and the 144,000 in the last days....THEN JESUS CHRIST WILL RETURN AND SETUP THE EARTHLY REIGN For 1000 YEARS. I know I am right, Oren only knows what he is taught. It isn't the correct idea, but it is what is missed by most Israelis and Jews in the world. Muslims who worship a false stone statue God named "allah" will find out how wrong they were and their hatred for Jews.

      @boobie1967 I do get it: Now they reject Jesus because Jesus did not show all the signs of the messiah yet. But when the final hour comes, the messiah will makes himself recognizable to all jews by showing ALL the signs of the Messiah. If I recall correctly the book of revelation says that as soon as the jews will recognize the messiah they will be saved. We christians believe that the messiah who will arrive will be the Jesus of Nazareth who we worship. So since at the end the jews will follow Jesus of Nazareth and since Jesus was born from a jewish mother, I have no reason to hate jews as a christian EVEN if the jews reject Jesus today. In contrary, I will respect that. => ultimately Jesus will sheppard both christians and jews. Without the jews there would be no old testament and without the old testament the new testament makes no sense. So I thank the jews ✡ 🤝✝️.

      Romans 9:6 and Rev 2:9 are just a couple examples that clearly state things are not what they seem when it pertains to all of this. Since the advent of Christ Jews and Gentiles were grafted into the same branch. Meaning the significance of this separation is moot. Also, I believe the meaning of the land and people went away from one of a physical nature, to one of a spiritual nature. I don't know what Christians who support this deception are reading in the bible, obviously not much and/or only cherry picked passages that false teachers preach.
      It's clearly a masterfully orchestrated agenda by Satan through the works of men who support him to reverse the first century A.D. (in sorts) and set the foundation for the beast system and anti-christ's rule. It has all been a Judeo-Masonic plot that ultimately is rooted in evil. Remember that "..for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness." Remember that it was the Romans and the Pharisees who rejected Christ and ultimately put him to death. There is the same modern day version of these two groups (so to speak) happening today with the people ruling the world in large part. There are countless passages pertaining to all of this and it's made very clear this will be the precursor and foundations to a false christ system that will deceive so many. It's a complete lack of biblical understanding and discernment as well as false teaching that is so heavily engrained in milk toast Christianity today and will be so many peoples downfall.

      Jesus Christ is the messiah but there are many beliefs that are pushed that are not biblical. For instance eternal hell was not even a mainstream belief until the fifth century AD. Made popular mostly by Augustine. Early Christians like Ireneas, origen, Papias, etc did not believe in it. And Papias supposedly knew the apostle John personally. In the story of the prodigal son the rebellious son never again received his inheritance, but did receive forgiveness. Likewise I believe there will be many Christians who will lose their inheritance that God desired to give them. Such as Christians that are strippers, cam girls, etc. I believe that most modern Christians not very little of true doctrine but continue to push ideas that are offensive to the lord.

      Acts Chapter 4 verse 12: "There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.”
      Isaiah 9 vs. 6, "For unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.“
      The Virgin Birth
      Christ, born of a virgin, Mary.
      Matthew Chapter 1 verse 20: "Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him (Joseph), in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for that (Christ) which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit."
      Jesus, the Christ, is God’s Word made into flesh.
      1 John chapter 5 verse 7: "For there are 3 that bear a record in heaven, The Father, The Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these 3 are one.”
      John chapter 1 verse 1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
      John chapter 1 verse 14: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
      John chapter 1 verse 10: "He was in the world, and the world knew Him not.”
      Hebrews chapter 4 verse 12: ”For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
      John’s Vision Of Christ Seated On His Throne In Heaven:
      Revelation chapter 4 verse 2 to 3: "Immediately, I (John), was in the Spirit, and behold a throne sat in Heaven, and One sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance, and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.”
      Why did Christ Jesus came and sacrificed His precious life for sinners like us? Because through Adam’s disobedience, sin and death entered the world, and all human race. Christ came to undo the sin and eternal death brought upon the world through the sin of Adam. Christ, who is God’s Word made into flesh, sacrificed His life for us. He was crucified for our sins and transgressions. Christ died, and on the third day He resurrected in the flesh, conquering death and the grave. Now, Christ is seated in Heaven, at the right hand of Power (God the Father). Through Christ’s sacrifice we gain Salvation through God’s abundant mercy and grace. We are reconciled and recompensed back to God, through the shed blood of His begotten Son, Christ Jesus.
      John chapter 3 verse 16: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”
      Romans chapter 5 verse 8: "But God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
      Death in Adam, Life In Christ:
      Romans chapter 5 verse 19: "For as by one man’s (Adam’s) disobedience, many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s(Jesus's) obedience, many will be made righteous.”
      Romans chapter 5 verse 18: "Therefore, as through one man’s (Adam’s) offense judgement came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even through one Man’s (Christ’s) righteous act, the free gift came to all men, resulting in the justification of life.”
      Romans chapter 5 verse 17: "For if by the one man’s offense (Adam’s offense), death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in the life through the One (Jesus Christ)."
      Romans chapter 5 verse 12: ” Therefore, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.”
      Romans chapter 5 verse 21: “So that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
      Through Adam, sin and death entered the world, so that is why Christ Jesus came to give life, and give it more abundantly. Yes, Christ came to give eternal life through Salvation. The Salvation of His shed blood, and resurrection.
      Adam’s flesh brought sin, death, destruction, and condemnation.
      1 Corinthians 15 : 21-22, “For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ, all shall be made alive.”
      Christ’s sacrifice, the crucifixion of His flesh, brings reconciliation of sins, resurrection, eternal life, salvation.
      Christ is coming back again, not as a sacrificial lamb. He is coming back as a roaring, warring lion, to destroy sin, death, and the grave once and for all.
      Amen! Halleluyah!
      Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 to 13: "And behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.“
      Now do you see friends, why Christ Jesus is so Important for our Salvation? Yes.
      Now, do you understand why there is only 1 way to God, and that is only through Christ Jesus? Yes.
      Christ is Salvation. Christ is our Lord and Saviour. Christ is the only way to God. Christ is the only Mediator between God and men (us humans).
      God loves us so much, He does not want anyone to perish in hell. God wants all sinners to be saved. That is why He sent His Word to save the world. God’s Word became flesh, and dwelt among us to save us. Will you accept Christ and be saved? Your eternity depends on it. What happens after death is what is most important. Where will you spend eternity? Death is only the beginning of the next life.
      Romans chapter 6 verse 23: ” For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
      John Chapter 3 verse 16: ” For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”
      Salvation is free!
      Christ already paid the price, all you have to do is receive salvation through acceptance of Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach.
      So who is Christ?
      He is the Word Of God made into flesh. He is the Son of God. He is God. He is the Image of the Invisible God. He is the Alpha and Omega. He is the Beginning and the End. He is the Great I Am. He is Emmanuel. He is the Christ. He is the Messiah. He is the Creator. He is our Lord and Saviour. He is our Mediator. He is the Lion and the Lamb. He is the Rock not cut out by human hands. He is the Root of David. He is Salvation. He is the Way, the Truth, and Life. He is the blessing promised to Abraham. He is the Gift of God to the whole world.
      God created the heavens and the earth with His spoken Word. Did you know that Jesus is that Word, through which all things were created? Yes.
      John chapter 14 verse 6: "Jesus said to him,” I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
      Colossians chapter 1 verse 15 to 16: "He is the Image of the Invisible God, the Firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.”
      John chapter 1 verse 1 to 4: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
      Christ is for all who will receive Him.
      Will you receive Him today?
      This is how our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ said we should pray. Matthew chapter 6 verse 9 to 13: KJV
      “Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”
      Now that you understand who Christ is, share Christ with others. Christ is The Good News. What do we do with good news? We share it. Amen!
      Repent of your sins. Leave a lifestyle of sin. Sin no more! Be baptized in Jesus Name.
      Submit to God.
      Love God with all your heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit. Keep God’s Commandments, (read Exodus 20: 1- 17, see the 10 Commandments of God).
      Love one another.
      Forgive one another.
      It is written, “resist the devil, submit to God, and the devil will flee from you.”
      Hate sin with all your heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit.

      All in Christ Jesus, are now Jews.
      Who are the jew-ish people?
      I know of Jews( Judah). Who are the Gentiles? Gentiles are pagans. Pagans worship other gods( satan, and the other fallen angels). Pagans reject the Almight God/ Christ.
      The 1st of the 10 Commandments says,"Thou shall have no other gods before me."
      * Christ is the Promise fulfilled to Abraham. If you are in Christ, you are Abraham's seed. If you are in Christ, you are a Jew." I'm a Jew, you are a Jew.*
      I will still say:
      That is not the true Isreal. I too use to believe that they were chosen by God. Perhaps, some remnants of the true Isreal have decided to move back there later. However, the new occupants since 1948/1949 are not the true Israel. You must ask, what happened to the original occupants? Judaism, like all other "isms," is not of God. It is a form of satanism.
      So who are these people? Gentiles.
      They converted to their own made up religion years ago, which is a mixture of Babylonianism and their own ritualistic practices; taking parts of the Old Testament Scriptures, then merging it with the Babylonian Mystery Religions. Perhaps, they converted to their own religion of Judaism as a way to not displease their neighbors the Roman Catholics(who wanted all to convert to catholism or be destroyed), or their other neighbor, Islam of the Ottoman Empire. So to not be the enemy of either, they invented Judaism as a way of escape.
      Are they god's chosen people as in satan? Yes. Are they God Almighty's chosen people? No.
      Didn't their Babylonian Talmud states that Christians are Idol worshipers because they call Christ Jesus, God? Didn't the Babylonian Talmud states that all idol worshipers including Christians are guilty and punishable by beheadings?
      "The Talmud urges Jews to do a variety of harms to Christians, such as mur-der and theft, and teaches that each death of a Christian serves as a substitute for the temple sacrifices, which would then hasten the arrival of their Jewish messiah."
      (The Talmud Unmasked - Wikipedia).
      If they want to be considered God Almighty's chosen people they have to abandon their Babylonian Religion and come in by the only Way which is Christ Our Lord and Saviour. Until then, they are of their father the devil, and the devil's work they will do.
      The star of Remphan(satan).
      Not all roads lead to the True God.
      To get to God the Father, you must come through Christ.
      All religions that deny that Jesus is the Messiah(the Christ), do not worship the True God.
      If Judaism and all other religions are not serving God Almighty, then who is the god they serve? They serve remphan(satan).
      Who Is Antichrist?
      2 John verse 7, KJV. "For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."
      1 John 2: 22, KJV. " Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."
      If you deny God's Son, he will deny and reject you. You are worshipping satan by default. Judaism is another form of Satanism.
      Test the spirits, to see if they are truly of the True God-Yah, who rides on the clouds. God needs no star as His Image, because Christ represents Him, and Christ is God's Image.
      It seems that those who worship the devil and his angels, must represent it by using the star, and other occult symbols.
      The star of satan comes in many forms, and it symbolizes the worship of satan, in disguise.
      See it as the pentagram, the masonic seal, the star of David, the seal of Solomon, see it in Rastafarianism, see it in Hinduism and Buddhism. See it as the Kagome Crest, the Swastika, Kolob, the Catholic star of David on the popes mitre, etc.
      All religious sects that uses this star, is worshiping Satan. True followers of Christ should reject these stars.
      Truth is David, had no star.
      Acts 7:43, KJV. " You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan. Images which you made to worship, and I will carry you away beyond Babylon."
      Revelation 2:9, KJV. " I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of satan."
      Revelation 3:9,KJV. " Behold I will make them of the synagogue of satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
      I know we shouldn't focus on genealogy, because Christ’s Blood is most important.
      The geneology of Genesis tells you who is who.
      Who are these people? Gentiles.
      Even their own scholastic history books state that they are from the Japhethic lineage, and Ashkenazi, and from the Khazars. Japheth is not Judah. Japheth is not Isreal. Japheth is not Hebrew. Ashkenazi and Khazaria are neither Isreal, Judah nor Hebrew.
      It is written, "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. *The sons of JAPHETH; Gomer, and MAGOG, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; ASHKENAZ, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish. Kittim, and Dodanim. By these were the isles of the GENTILES divided in their lands; everyone after his tongue, after their families, in their nations." Genesis 10:1-5, KJV*.
      Shem's descendants are the Shemites/Semites-from this lineage you get the Hebrews- Abraham, Isaac, Jacob(Israel). From Jacob(also called Israel), you get 12 tribes, one of which is Judah. From Judah's geneology we get the Lion of the Tribe of Judah( Christ our Lord). Only Judah's descendants are called Jews, in English.
      The Blood of Jesus( King of kings)will graft you in.
      Galatians 3:28, " There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
      Another name for Gentile is Pagan, Unbeliever, Heretic.
      Has God forgotten about the true bloodline Isreal? No.
      God knows who is who, if you read Revelation chapter 21, it speaks of the New Jerusalem( The Bride of Christ), and how she is built beautifully. Verse 12 says, "Also she had a great and high wall with 12 gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the Children of Israel."
      God will gather the remnants of Isreal's descendants who have returned to worshipping Him only. He hasn't forgotten about the remnants of the 12 Tribes. He has always loved thee, oh Israel.
      For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." (Romans 2:28,29)
      I will repeat:
      "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye all are one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Galatians 3:28,29)

    I discovered this channel after Oct. 7th as I was looking for material to share with friends and family to help give the Israeli perspective and help them understand the reality of Israel and Palestine in order to fight against a lot of things that i knew were lies about Israel. I am an American and over the years i have gained a bit more knowledge than the average American about the area. I can't fight all the progoganda but i can at least help the people who trust me to see that a lot of what they have seen online is just not accurate. Thank you for these videos they have been helpful and taught me things i didn't know.
    One area i was not well versed in was what was covered in this video. It makes perfect sense that most Jews would not have warm feelings towards Christianity, but the Amish woman is right to point out that Christianity is a massive religion and extremely varied. One thing that Christianity was very good at doing was melding with the home culture, so a Latino Catholic is extremely different than an Irish Catholic even though they belong to the same branch of Christianity. In America Christianity has formed in it's own unique way. In modern America Christians are often slammed as antisemitic for a reason that i realized i don't understand. The narrative about it is so strong that at one point in my life when i was more left-leaning, i remember thinking "why does the Christian right hate Jews but love Israel." It was such a foolish thought because i have lived my entire life around American conservative Christians and i cannot remember a single one speaking negatively about Jews. Obviously i cannot speak for all but in my experience the family morals of conservative Christian families often stem the patriarch of the family. Until very recently many if not most families (mine being one) had their values shaped by men who fought in WW2. There was no love for the Nazis in these men or anything they stood for. In fact my regularly quiet grandfather could become very agitated about Nazis and Hitler to the point where us grandchildren were advised to not mention them. Because of all this many Christian conservatives here have actually become very protective of Jewish people and of Israel. The idea of anything like the Holocaust happening again is an anathema to them. All of this to say, that there millions of Christians in America who want Israel and Jews to survive and thrive. My church has been praying for Israel every Sunday since October 7th, and i am sure it is far from the only one.
