The Vatican has unveiled its 2024 Christmas display—which met with Pope Francis’s approval—and it deliberately advances the leftist/Muslim narrative that Jesus was a “Palestinian.” This is a historical rewrite of the worst kind and gives fuel to the worst people.
History is not complicated:
The Bible says—and nothing contradicts it—that around the early 17th century B.C., the Israelites settled in the Land of Canaan, which became the Nation of Israel. Around the year 1,000 B.C., King David defeated the Philistines, who were the Israelite’s ancient enemies. For the next slightly more than 400 years, whether as a single nation or as the split nations of Judah and Israel, the same land was ruled entirely by the Jewish people.
In 586 B.C. (and history does confirm this), Assyria conquered the ancient Kingdom of Israel, which ceased to exist. However, the Kingdom of Judah continued. In subsequent centuries, the Kingdom of Judah was conquered by and became a vassal of the Babylonians and the Hellenist Greeks. The 2nd century B.C. Maccabean revolt saw a brief return to Jewish control but, in 63 B.C., the Romans conquered the Kingdom of Judah.
Through it all, the land was always understood to be the Jewish land. The Jews may have been a vassal state or colony, but the whole thing was Jewish. Indeed, in 6 AD, when the Romans cracked down on the Jews, they still recognized the ancient Kingdom of Judah, for they renamed the land “Judea.”
Around the year 1 A.D. (the moment when the world ticked over from “Before Christ” to “Anno Domini [the year of our Lord]),” a man known as Jesus of Nazareth was born in the Roman-controlled Jewish colony of Judea. His lineage, for he was descended from King David,

Of course Jesus was a Jew.
The left can even make a pope despicable.
You know, Soros owns the pope.
Ms. Widburg is right. Bergoglio is a man of left, through and through, and this extends to the tropes that he adopts concerning the Palestinians.
As a Catholic, I’m deeply ashamed of Bergoglio and the way that he has run his pontificate this past dozen years.
BTTT
BTTT
Even the Roman’s didn’t call it Palestine until after they suppressed the Jewish revolt and scattered the Hebrews.
I’m surprised he didn’t choose Mohammed as his papal name.
Soroznazi must run the pope, too?
The Pope is complicit in the destruction of the Church via appeasement to the forces of Islam and Islam knows this.
They keep the Pope spinning like a top until he is dizzy and filled with remorse about being a Christian.
IF the leader of the Church submits to Islam then from here it is all downhill. Most Churches in Europe will be Mosques within a few years.
People need to STOP calling this obvious evil, “Pope”. Pope Benedict did not offer a valid resignation; Pope is not a “shared” position and as such, this evil was not validly elected. He was placed, much like so many of the world “leaders” now. Absolute Evil is currently squatting in the seat, defiling all that it touches. I’ll say it again, STOP calling this evil, “Pope”. The “But… but… but he’ IS the Pope” mentality only allows the evil to continue in the face of common sense. The answer is NO.
Agreed. He’s a great danger to the church and he’s not getting any better as he ages.
A dangerous force from ancient times that is now operating in the world and determining the course of world events?
https://mycharisma.com/culture/the-secret-of-the-dragons-prophecy/ had the following to say:
Cahn reveals that a dangerous force from ancient times is behind these calamitous events, and it’s operating in the world today.On Oct. 6, 2023 Jonathan Cahn was speaking at Beth Israel, the worship center he leads in Wayne, New Jersey. He was speaking prophetically about the book he was at the time writing, and he spoke of mystery that ordained that there would be a surprise attack on Israel, it would happen on the Sabbath, on a Hebrew holiday and it would be on the first Saturday in October 2023. The next day, on October 7, it happened when Hamas terrorists from Gaza waged the deadly attack on Jews which began the war we see today with Israel fighting for its very existence.“The Bible speaks about an angelic being that turned against God,” he says. “In Hebrew it’s called Hassatan; that’s where we get the word ‘Satan’ from. It refers to the entity that exists to oppose the purposes of God. “At the same time, God created another entity, a nation, a people, created to fulfill the purposes of God— the Jewish people—Israel. They exist to bear witness of God and fulfill His purposes, to bring God into the world, to bring His Word into the world, to bring Messiah into the world and to bring the kingdom into the world that’s yet to come.”
So what happens when the one who is against the purposes of God comes in contact with those who exist to fulfill the purposes of God? “You’re going to have a war,” says Cahn. “If you want to understand what’s happened with Jewish history—and even what’s happened in the last year—you need to understand that it’s part of an ancient war. There is a real force.
“You cannot explain the war against the Jewish people, and what we’ve just seen in the world, by any natural means,” he adds. “This is supernatural. It goes back to this angelic being, Satan, and that’s why it never ends. Because the enemy doesn’t die. “So it’s no accident that the most opposed, hated, persecuted people in the world are the Jewish people,” Cahn explains. “It has to be that way, because there is something satanic warring against them. Not only do the Jewish people bear witness of God, but they bear witness of the enemy too, because of what we have been through. “There’s an ancient and cosmic war taking place on earth, on the stage of human history and before our eyes,” he says. “It’s been going on for 4,000 years. We have just in this last year seen the eruption of it, but it’s the same war—it’s part of an ancient mystery.”
Cahn explains in the book why Gaza and the So called Palestinians are historically enemies of Israel as descendants of the Philistines of Canaan who inhabited the strip of land known today as the Gaza Strip, who worshiped their god Dagon. The same evil spirits of Satan that inhabited them and made them viciously evil enemies obsessed with destroying God’s people. Those same evil spirits are here today in Hamas and their desire to kill extends to Christians as well. Those spirits, knowing time is short for them have spread worldwide, even as they cause Godless people to join the cause of the Palestinians, even when clueless people don’t even understand what the cause is.
It appears the Pope is guided by those same spirits.

Matthew 24:42-44
King James Version
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Luke 21:34-36
King James Version
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Boy can I ever speak to that....
Nobody knows or understands.
Except for my two pastor friends, one 80+ the other 90+.
Because...they KNOW.
