"The question everyone is asking right now is an easy question: Why are these students — the most privileged people in the history of the world, no skill set, no problems — playing the part as terrorists and standing for murderous groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the like? Why are they overtly chanting anti-Semitic slogans? Why are they doing all of this? The answer is very simple. They want revolution." So wrote Ben Shapiro.
That's true. But let's ask one more question: "Why do they want revolution?" And the answer takes us right back to where we should be--the Bible.
SETTING THE SCENE
Even a cursory look at the Jews and the college campuses leaves a normal person saying, "This is wrong!" We see hostile students blocking Jewish students who have paid their ridiculously high tuition from going to class.
From Columbia's website: "Charges for all full-time entering MSW students are estimated to be a flat tuition rate of $26,036 per semester and are eligible to enroll for 10.5 to 19.5 credit hours each term.
"Students enrolled in the part-time programs will be charged $1,834 per credit. Students also are charged $1,834 per credit for credits over 19.5. NOTE: Tuition charges for students in the 5-term International Students Program are estimated to be $27,490 each for the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 terms."
Jewish students are not only blocked from going to class, but are also harassed, in some cases physically assaulted, and they are the targets of slurs, insults, and chants to the extent that the campus rabbi told them to, "Get out! Get out now!" because they weren't safe.
A mob of frenzied Jew-haters students busted windows, entered a campus building, took a hostage or two, and barricaded themselves inside. (They went on to demand the university feed them for the duration of their takeover!). That's just the tip of the iceberg. UCLA is in a state of anarchy. On that campus, one Jew hater addressing the mob using a bullhorn screamed, "Israel and America are terrorist nations! Praise be to Hamas! Praise be to the freedom fighters!" She was sending out her hallelujahs for those who murdered, mutilated, and beheaded innocent men, women, and babies at a music festival. All this from the "educated."
ELITE REACTION
Yet, from celebrities and our elites, we either hear crickets or insanity such as this: "Now even if you don’t agree with the subject of their protests, as long as they are peaceful, students should be allowed to protest. It’s their First Amendment right." (Stephen Colbert) He criticized universities that have called on law enforcement to use deescalation tactics and remove encampments put up by entitled students.
He failed to mention several instances where violence broke out between the protesters and police officers. Jewish
students have cited feeling scared for their safety on campus, with
many saying they have been verbally and physically assaulted by the mobs. Jew haters were seen waving signs that read “Final Solution,”— the official title of Nazi Germany for the policy of killing 6 million Jews. As one Jewish student, looking over world history, said, "In every generation, they want to kill us."
We heard this from a NYC council member who called the police action a "colossal disgrace, a horrifying affront
to democracy and free speech, and an abject failure of public safety." This is twisted logic on steroids.
On what planet would breaking ,entering, shattering windows, vandalizing,erecting barricades, and kidnapping be deemed good? On what planet would this not be considered evil?
TO THE QUESTION
So, what in the world is going on to have people actually condoning and believing that such criminal activities are the right thing to do.
This brings us to the deeper question, "Where is all this coming from?" This is where we go back to the Bible, to II Thessalonians 2: "Because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false."
The context of the verses is the worldwide response to the Anti-Christ during the Great Tribulation period, yet future. However the verse does express a principle: after a nation continues and continues its rebellion and rejection of the saving message of the gospel, God will send upon them "a strong delusion" as one translation puts it.
What we are seeing is something God-sent--a delusion. It's a delusion they brought upon themselves for their rebellion in rejecting the truth. Romans 1:18ff deals with the same issue. A society can reach a point of insurrection against God and His Word, that He declares, "If this is what you want . . ." and He sends delusion.
A result of this is that you can't reason with the delusional. They bought it on themselves.
A suggestion for an experiment: print thousands of flyers with Genesis 12:3 printed on them; fly over the Jew haters campus camps and drop them. Then hover over the campus and watch the students/outside agitators go berserk in their rebellion.
Based on Genesis 12:3, one person put it succinctly: "They don't know Who they're messing with."
