A. Definition of Holocaust. 1. Holocaust means devastation. It includes all persecution of the Jews or the violent expression of anti-Semitism.
The first thing I noticed is that the definition is too broad. The literal meaning of holocaust is "burnt offering", from the dictionary...
"Totality of destruction has been central to the meaning of holocaust since it first appeared in Middle English in the 14th century, used in reference to the biblical sacrifice in which a male animal was wholly burnt on the altar in worship of God. Holocaust comes from Greek holokauston ("that which is completely burnt"), which was a translation of Hebrew 'lâ (literally "that which goes up," that is, in smoke). In this sense of "burnt sacrifice," holocaust is still used in some versions of the Bible. "
The bible mentions that G-d uses the nations to afflict His people for sin and also that the nations went way to far. Hence, when the nation of Israel is redeemed, G-d will judge the nations. Israel will not be afflicted anymore. Nahum 1: Thus says the LORD,"Though they are at full strength and likewise many,Even so, they will be cut off and pass away Though I have afflicted you,I will afflict you no longer. Israel 40: 1 Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.
It is motivated by Satan himself. His objective is to destroy all Jews on the earth prior to the Second Advent of Christ so that Christ cannot fulfill...
Anti-semitism is not motivated by Satan, but sin. As noted above it is part of G-ds plan than nations will afflict G-ds people. Satan does not have the power to kill all the Jews. It has nothing to do with Jesus.
Historical degeneracy persecutes religious degeneracy, as seen when Hitler and Nazi Germany persecuted the Jews of Europe,5. Religious degeneracy of the Jews is defined as going from the superior standards of the Mosaic Law to the inferior standards of fragmentation and reversionism.
The author is way of base here insinuating that the Jews of Europe were religious degenerates? Yes, some of the Jews had embraced reformed Judaism not the majority. Therefore, he is calling G-d a spiritual degenrate since the Jews were/are faithful to His Holy word. What an outrage.
Beginning in the dispensation of the Hypostatic Union the world's record held by religious degeneracy (the blindness of Israel).
Another outrage. It is not religious degeneracy to reject the heresy of the hypostatic union. The god-man hybrid of this "dispensation" is nowhere to be found in the Tanach (OT). It is purely an invention of pagan Grecco-Roman culture.
This article is long...more later. But I havent seen some much filth since reading Martin Luther's of the Jews and their Lies......the real underpinning of the Holocaust.
Thanks for the feedback.
I hadn’t studied the etymology of the term Holocaust, as presented here, but that does manifest quite a bit. Both regarding the Greek and Hebrew origins.
WRT religious degeneracy, the study places faith in God through what He has provided in Christ Jesus. Had He not been resurrected nor ascended, then from a worldly perspective only relying on a different interpretation of the OT canon, not identifying Jesus Christ as both Son of God and Son of Man might have some academic merit, but history is substantially beyond that point, not to mention the authority given Him at the Session.
The doctrine of the hypostatic union goes far in better describing the role of Christ Jesus during the first Advent.
We both agree to the Lord and God being one God, in the sense of the Alpha glory, but where we might differ is that I also identify with His role in the Omega glory as the god-man in Christ Jesus.
If you get a chance, you may want to study and consider the doctrine of the Hypostatic Union, not by what man provides, but by what God the Holy Spirit is able to lead.
