Deception XXV: The Synagogue of Satan
7-16-10***************
I believe in all of the words of all of the Jewish prophets in the Bible. I believe Moses, Samuel, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. I believe all of the prophets in the Old Testament and the New Testament and follow their teachings.
I believe in the Jewish Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, who was foretold by the Jewish prophets.
I believe in mount Zion, I am going there (ref. Heb. 12:22-24).
I believe in the commonwealth of Israel. I am part of it (ref. Eph. 2:11-22) as a wild olive tree that was graffed into that good tree (ref. Romans 11) [1].
I know that not all of the sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are saved, but I also know that God has not forgotten them (ref. Rom 11:1-5).
I also know that there is another group. This group says that they are Jews and are not.
Revelation 2:9 ...I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
The Bible says that this group--the ones that say that they are Jews and are not--form a group--the synagogue of Satan.
Notice that they have a synagogue under which to work the works of the devil himself. The synagogue is a meeting place. They have a religious form. They have religious teachers that they call rabbis. But I submit to you that the exterior of their building looks one way and the interior looks another way. This group has a book called the Talmud. Their rabbis use it. It is full of the Jewish traditions of the elders that the Lord Jesus Christ condemned. Please see this article for more information on this.
The following section is taken from, "Christ and Israel" by Victor Christensen--
Few realize that traditional Jewish religion is not based on the Old Testament, it is based upon the Jewish Oral Law that Jesus opposed which has been written down in the Talmud. The Talmud enshrines the religious principles that Jesus said set aside the commandments of God. Herman Wouk, a popular Jewish writer wrote,The Talmud is to this day the circulating heart's blood of the Jewish religion. Whatever laws, customs, or ceremonies we observe - whether we are orthodox, Conservative, Reform or merely spasmodic sentimentalists - we follow the Talmud. It is our common law. (New York Herald Tribune. (1959). Nov. 17)The Rabbi's openly set the Talmud above the Old Testament and make their tradition more authoritative than the Torah. They also pronounce death on any goyim who reads their sacred writings.
My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the Scribes than in the words of the Torah. (Erubin 21b Soncino edition)A heathen [Gentile] who pries into the Torah is condemned to death, for it is written, it is our inheritance, not theirs. (Sanhedrin 59a, Talmud, Sanhedrin. (1935). Soncino Edition. p.400.)

The Talmud also blasphemes Jesus Christ in the most virulent, lie-packed manner. This group calls their religion, "Judaism." At first, I only saw the exterior of the building of Judaism, but one day I was brought inside of it, inside of the Talmud [2].
*******HOW I FOUND OUT************
It took me a long time to learn about these things. Some years ago, someone sent me an email from a converted Jew. This Jewish man told what is in the Talmud. I read horrible blasphemy against our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I found the Talmud excerpts he included revolting. I do not want you to read it, but if you feel compelled to read a little in order to confirm the truth of my words, please do not read it all. This link is it.
I somehow got ahold of another similar writing, around the same time as I recall. These two things I published with tears in my eyes because I knew that I would be misunderstood yet again. Nevertheless, I've been taught to tell the truth no matter who it falls on--whether Catholic or Baptist, Gentile or Jew. I've since found other sources that reveal the Talmud's contents. Please do not research this. You never want to put blasphemy in your head or anybody else's head. Through the years, when I do research, I try to share only as much as is needed to make the point. Don't let others defile you. I do not read all of this blasphemy myself. Only enough to make the point at hand.
********STRANGE BEDFELLOWS**********
Some years ago, as a result of the filtering situation, I viewed the transcript of a speech by Mark Wietzman of the Simon Wiesnthal Center. The speech was entitled, "The Inverted Image: Antisemitism and Anti-Catholicism on the Internet." Jesus-is-Lord.com was directly mentioned in this speech by name and was found in the footnotes approximately four (4) times. It was apparently delivered at
The Fifth Biennial Conference On Christianity and the Holocaust
Sponsored by The Julius and Dorothy Koppelman Holocaust/Genocide Resource Center and the Campus Ministry at Rider University
Christianity and Judaism: History, The Holocaust and Reconciliation in The Third Millennium
October 18-19, 1998"What strange bedfellows," I thought. Judaism protecting Roman Catholicism. Time went by and I came to see that both have a religious face that they show to the world, but behind (not too far behind) these faces, lurk all kinds of heretical doctrines, blasphemies, intrigues, and activities antithetical to the gospel of Jesus Christ and harmful to mankind. A "God bless you, my child," a meek look, and a costume go a long way in this world. In my life, I have always been confronted with doctrinal errors first. I rejected Roman Catholicism because its tenets are the opposite of the scriptures. I knew that Judaism was wrong (not withstanding the incessant, "God's chosen people!" cries of the false church) because it denied Jesus Christ. It is all these years later that I am learning more of the depths of Satan, and believe me, I don't even want to know all of this inside of myself. I'd rather just peacefully live under my own vine and my own fig tree. I just want to live peacefully but these are the end times and God has somehow and someway decided that I was going to know the truth. I heard one man say, "It is dangerous to know the truth--but it is more dangerous not to know it."
********THE SHADOWS************
What is happening in the shadows in the synagogue of Satan? I can't tell it, but others have. I do want to say that in the past, I paid absolutely no attention to people who spoke about some kind of "Zionist conspiracy" (better named "Upper echelon Talmudic Jewish conspiracy"). This type of discussion could not hold my attention because of a number of reasons. Here are a few--
- I figured that the people who wrote of it did not know what they were talking about (and I still think that that is true in many cases).
- I figured that the people who wrote of it were KKK or some kind of neo-Nazi, even if they weren't. We've been taught to relegate all such talk as "anti-Semitic."
- I found conspiracy arguments too complicated with too many details and too many names and dates. [My own ignorance of history (there are only few key incidents to know--this link is a good start) made me unwilling and unable to sort through the morass of details.]
- It was too invisible and I was too ignorant, conditioned, and brainwashed to see whatever signs surrounded me.
- The holy scriptures were not used to guide and explain the author's statements.
There was a prominent Jewish man named Benjamin Freeman who came out from the shadows of the conspiracy and then spent much of his fortune trying to warn Americans about what was happening to their country. Other eruptions like the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and the Harold Wallace Rosenthal Interview (1976) have also surfaced through the years. I'm not here to send the reader on a journey into these things, but to make one aware if one is ignorant. Opening this up, one is confronted with much blasphemy and curses and I don't suggest that anyone venture too far into this arena. The thing to know is that there is a hidden world that runs the one we move in everyday. At this time we need to read the word, pray, live holily, and minister in those areas that we have been ordained to minister in.
WARNING: When one goes to a link on another website, please be aware that I OFTEN do not agree with everything on the websites that I link to. Even within various articles that I link to, I take exception to certain items. If you do not know the word (the holy Bible, the Authorized Version), you are in danger and I do not suggest you read the internet. You need to read the word. There is a lot of deception in this world and the word is the only thing that will keep you safe and able to detect truth and falsehood.

[2] I stopped dealing with the messianic Jewish ministry of "Jews for Jesus" after I saw favorable references to the Talmud and Misnah in two of the publications I ordered from them. In those publications were also the substitution of CE and BCE for AD and BC, something I wrote about to their president some years ago. The messianic organizations are too concerned with political Israel and Jewish traditions. The serpent is everywhere.
