Great analysis and well written.

Great read Brother Bill I couldn’t agree more, thanks.
interesting that you mention “true Christians”, but not true Jews.
yet the Scriptures do speak of true Jews. do you know what makes someone a “true Jew”?
are the Jews you speak of in this article that Satan supposedly hates, are they true or false Jews according to the Bible?
“make war with the remnant of her seed........who have the testimony of Jesus Christ.......”
did the Jews you talk about in this article all through history have the testimony of Jesus Christ?
The Woman= Israel the physical seed of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob
the Remnant of her seed= The true church (Including the born again remnant of Israel)
so satan doesn’t make war with the woman anymore? kind of defeats your whole thesis, doesn’t it?
Satan very definitely makes war with the woman, and the remnant of her seed. My whole thesis is to give the Biblical explanation of anti-Semitism.
Satan doesn’t make war with those who reject Jesus Christ, a house divided against itself can not stand.
“Thy people”’ are those in Christ, not physical Jews. Satan is very pleased when someone rejects belief in Christ, no need to persecute such people.
Christ is coming back to save Israel as He promised He would. If Satan can destroy physical Israel before CHrist comes to save them, He could thwart God’s plan(I know He won’t be able to) but that is what is happening. God has a plan for Israel after the flesh...see Zechariah 12:9-10 and Romans 11
Israel is the Church. The Scriptures can not be clearer on this point and it has been the consistent teaching of the Church for 2,000 years. Yet, some still do not believe. The true Jew is one inwardly, not of the flesh.
If Israel is the church does that mean the Holy Land isgiven to the church?
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
(e-Sword:KJV)
did the Jews you talk about in this article all through history have the testimony of Jesus Christ?
And has the 'church', throughout history, kept the commandments of YHWH?
What's good for the goose would be good for the gander, no?
has the Church kept the commandments? absolutely YES!
But what are the commandments we are to keep? I suspect some would think the 10 commandments, but this would be a denial of Jesus Christ. Jesus kept the law PERFECTLY and fulfilled all its requirements. In doing so, the old covenant was completed and a new covenant was established with Israel, the new covenant sealed in His blood. since we are “in Christ”, we no longer are under the law and it’s requirements, which would include the 10 commandments.
so what commandments must the Church observe?
the answer is we follow the law of Christ. the law of Christ is best summarized in 1 John 3:19-24.
the “holy land”? which land are you referring to?
Even only in the matter of the Sabbath, your statement is absurd. Y'all don't keep the ten, not to mention the rest.
i feel sorry for those who believe the old covenant and it’s laws are still valid today. it is an insult to the blood of Christ, which seals the new covenant.
the lost will continue to try and keep the law ( including the Sabbath ) the body of Christ will follow the law of Christ.
