It is unwise to connect these sorts of topics (anti-Semitism, the secular state of Israel) with Biblical notions of the chosen people. The chosen people are the Christians. The scripture is quite clear:

(1) Jesus, whose family fled to Egypt, who fasted 40 days in the wilderness, is spiritual Israel. He mirrored the biography of the Jewish people but prevailed where they did not.

(2) Paul calls Jesus the true seed of promise.

(3) Paul calls Christians the children of Abraham through faith in Christ.

This is accomplished by being joined to Christ, true Israel and the seed of promise. Christ is the head of the Church and believers are the members of His body. But all those who disbelieve, whether Jew or Gentile, is condemned, reprobate, lost in unbelief. No Rabbi who has died an unbeliever is in heaven, and if that is the case, he is not the seed, which is imperishabke and held tight in God’s bosom.

. . . that the Afrikaners are now the chosen people. We know.

Why don't you tell us about how the "Illuminati" commissioned the Scofield Reference Bible???

you better do a Bible review. God does not go back on his word to anyone. Christian did not replace Israel. That is called replacement theology and it is wrong.
