You know, you can begin converting to Judaism today: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/the-conversion-process/
Anti semitism can at times be like racism
Overused
Had a very basic level, it is a ready criticism against anyone criticizing Israel or anyone of Jewish faith. I think that it is in overused criticism, which undermines gets real concern.
My favorite quote on antisemitism is from the late Anwar Sadat. Barbara Walters asked him why he was antisemitic, to which he replied, “Why would I be antisemitic? I am a Semite as are most Egyptians.”
This -
When it is reaches a point where no criticism is allowed there is something wrong. No group is above criticism.
The point of what I wrote was I was already part of God’s family. I don’t have to convert to anything. Just as Effraim and Manasseh were adopted into Jacob’s family with equal inheritance, so I have an equal inheritance in Heaven.
OK. Go with that.
So Jesus wasn’t even necessary. Go it.
tl;dr
The Jews are destined for even more error, but they are still God's people. The 3rd Temple will be a sign that the Antichrist is coming and they will chose a man over God, but God will come rescue them once again. A time worse than the Holocaust is coming for them, yet they will still be rescued in the end.
Since i believe all men are created equal i believe the antisemites are the ones who ACT LIKE they hate semites in real life. its not about your blood, its about how you act.
Well, he sure got that wrong. The Bible makes it plain that Egyptians (Mizraim) were Hamites. Arabs, if descended from Ishmael, are at least half-Semite (through Abraham) and half-Hamite (through Hagar, an Egyptian) and in general are probably more Hamite than Semite since Ishmael’s wife was also Egyptian.
You are misreading something. If Joseph was a type and shadow of the coming Christ, then adoption of Joseph's children by Jacob(Israel) was the key for their inheritance. A Gentile can't get there without Christ.
You sure you don’t want to convert to Judaism?
But couldn’t a Gentile get there by converting to Judaism?
God wants Jews to be Jews, and uses non-Jews to make sure Jews remember they are Jewish. Sometimes that’s for the better and sometimes for the worse.
Capitalists hate Jews for being socialists, socialists hate Jews for being capitalists. Some religious people hate Jews for being non-religious, and some religious and non-religious hate Jews for being religious.
The State of Israel is just more of the same of the hazards of being identifiably Jewish.
From my standpoint as an American Jew, “anti-Semitism” in its traditional form is more like “anti-Jew”, blaming the Jews for everything from the economic collapse of post WWI Germany to global warming. Well, okay, glo-bull warming is the fault of George W. Bush and his corporate cronies...
From most of the history I’ve read, anti-Semitism usually arises when the non-Jewish people in charge of a country want to make points with the usually ignorant populace. Since Jews have had a tendency over the past few centuries to be the merchants and bankers of many countries, they become a prime target for these phony-baloney “leaders”. And, given the Jews make up a small minority (10% or so) of the population, it’s easy to pin it on them and make it stick.
