The angel saved the child who was to be murdered by his father in the Old Testament, but didn’t in the New.
I am a Christian man. (With all that entails.) I wanted to say that first, so the rest of my words could be seen with some perspective.
I believe the Jews are God’s chosen people.
“Chosen for what?” is the occasional humorous and wry question.
I think: chosen as being most typical of all humans. A mix of things — some “good,” and some “bad.”
Sinners who desire to have hearts of gold, and love the God who created all things — including them.
A people among many peoples who were chosen to suffer, and to constantly re-arise and still love God — as Job did.
Satan could not break Job. And Satan and all his minions won’t ever cause God’s people — and those who choose to ally with them — to turn away from them.
In that manner, and for that cause, even though I am a WASP by birth and upbringing, I count myself an ally of the Jews.
I count myself AS a Jew, for any practical purpose. And in these awful days, I stand with them as a Christian man, and as a warrior.
