As one author has suggested, don't call it "antisemitism." That word has a multisyllabic soft sound. Call it what it is, Jew-hatred. Jew-hatred has erupted on many college campuses, Columbia University, Yale, Harvard, New York University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford, the University of Chicago, Princeton, the University of Virginia, Emory University, Brown University, Tufts, Michigan State University, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, SUNY Purchase, SUNY Rockland, Swarthmore, Brown, Cal Poly, The University of Texas (no surprise there) and the University of Southern California. All of those institutes of "higher" learning earned an "F" regarding protecting Jewish students.
At New York University, a frenzied mob of Jew-hating students clashed with police in hand-to-hand combat that looked like what it was, anarchy. Columbia's Jewish students were blocked from classes even though they paid tuition like everybody else. The university rabbi at Columbia told Jewish students: "Get out! Get out now!"They were in danger. The atmosphere of white hot Jew-hatred is so bad, the administration has surrendered--no more on-campus classes for the rest of the semester. The Jew-haters won and now are vowing to stay on.
The University of Southern California has canceled its main graduation ceremony. The school canceled the valedictorian’s planned commencement speech last week after the Muslim student, Asna Tabassum, was accused by multiple organizations of openly trafficking in Jew hatred on social media where a link she promoted featured propaganda that called for the complete eradication of Israel.
Look at this current generation. It's a generation about which some are saying is the first generation in America to gain adulthood completely isolated from the Bible. (Others say they're the second generation in such an illiterate condition, but there's no need to quibble, the result is the same.)
The point is that this generation has been taught that Genesis is filled with, in the words of C. S. Lewis, "fabulous stories." Yes, THAT C. S. Lewis. By "fabulous" he meant "incredible" as in, "not credible." He didn't mean great sweeping accounts. He held to the idea that, "There’s no reason why God, who spoke to ancient Israelites “in their weakness, after the manner of their language could not adapt familiar myths so 'that they might come to understanding.'"
Then, being taught that Genesis is a book of adapted mythology from the pagans around them, there's only one result possible: there was no call of Abraham, there was no God-promised land given to his descendanats, and, while you're at it, you can give a never-mind to Genesis 12:3b: "Those who curse you [Israel] I will curse" as a warning from God.
Here's a guarantee: had the present generation been taught a literal hermeneutic in interpreting the Bible; had they been instructed in classical dispensationalism a la` Ryrie, Chafer, Walvoord, and Pentecost, there would be no the uproar, no chaos on American campuses, a chaos which is now showing up even in indoctrinated high schools as students walk out of class to show their support for Hamas. We would hear no chants of "Death to Israel. Death to America" in our land.
The chickens just won't stop coming home to roost.
American churches should be standing in support of Israel but where are they? They are soaked in Amillennialism which the Reformers like Luther and Calvin taught. Luther, in his later years, wrote a book, "On the Jews and Their Lies," an 80+ page rant of promoting Jew-hatred to the point of violence.
Kurt Hendel, professor emeritus of Reformation history at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago, said of the Nazis, "In November 1933, the Nazis marked the 450th anniversary of Luther’s birth with a nationwide 'German Luther Day.' Nazi Party leaders praised Luther’s “ethno-nationalist mission,” and called their movement 'the completion of the German Reformation in the Third Reich.' Nazi propagandists also celebrated the fact that the infamous Kristallnacht night of violence against Jews [destroying their synagogues] in 1938 fell on Luther’s birthday."
One Jewish professor at Columbia University summed it up-- "I went to bed on October 7, 2023, and woke up the next morning in 1933."
From one coast to the other, we are witnessing myriads of students, faculty, and outside Jew haters creating mayhem and chanting slogans in support of a terrorist organization of Jew-haters that, on October7, 2023, murdered 1,400 innocent people, and had orders to kill everyone they saw, including beheading victims and cutting off their legs.They went from home to home, from room to room, throwing grenades and killing everyone, including women and children. Hamas ordered them to crush their heads and cut them off. Further photographic evidence shows a burned baby, gunmen shooting the dead bodies of civilians in cars, militants in the process of beheading a body with a hoe, and burnt corpses thrown in a dumpster.
We are seeing the fulfilling of Romans 8:28 live and in living color: "And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind,"Depravity" as in supporting the the savages who behead, burn and kill women children, and infants.
From university to university, we are not seeing educated minds. We are staring at depraved, deranged, and demonic minds on a rampage of evil.
