Zone1 The unconditional covenant God made with the Jews (AKA Israelites/Hebrews including converts, excluding Arabs)

[ShahdagMountains]

I guess it's easier to call me an anti-Semite than it is to address my argument that what Israel is doing will lead to a worse fate than doing what their own texts teach them.

Your words, not mine. I never mentioned it.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

If you could. Maybe after the 4th or 5th baby you'd see the error of your way.

You're really disgusting. Now I remember why I put your arrogant ass on ignore

Your words, not mine. I never mentioned it.

Yes, those are my words and I have to live with what I say and what I don't say just the same as you. The only thing we have in this world that cannot be taken from us is our good name. That we have to give away.

Read comments in context and learn the bible.

"From the eighth to the sixth centuries B. C., during which Israel and Judah tottered before the aggressive power of Syria, Assyria, Egypt, and Babylon, the prophets found meaning in their predicament by seeing it as God's way of underscoring the demand for righteousness. God was using Israel's enemies against her. The experience of defeat and exile was teaching the Jews the true worth of freedom. Another lesson was that those who remain faithful in adversity will be vindicated. Stated abstractly, the deepest meaning the Jews found in their Exile was the meaning of vicarious suffering: meaning that enters lives that are willing to endure pain that others might be spared it. "the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.""

Dear God, please let him do it again.

From the eighth to the sixth centuries B. C., during which Israel and Judah tottered before the aggressive power of Syria, Assyria, Egypt, and Babylon, the prophets found meaning in their predicament by seeing it as God's way of underscoring the demand for righteousness.

This statement accurately summarizes the theological interpretation held by the Hebrew prophets during the volatile period from the 8th to 6th centuries B.C., a time when Israel and Judah were threatened by superpowers like Assyria, Babylon, Egypt, and Syria. [1]

Rather than viewing the military, economic, and social crises solely as political failures, prophets such as Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Jeremiah interpreted these events as divine judgment and a call to return to covenant faithfulness. [1, 2, 3]

Contextualizing the Prophetic Message

• A "Demand for Righteousness": The prophets argued that God required social justice, ethical behavior, and exclusive worship, which the kingdoms of Israel and Judah had largely abandoned. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Enemies as God's Tools: The prophets viewed foreign empires like Assyria and Babylon not just as enemies, but as instruments in God's hands to discipline His people. [1, 2]
• The Meaning of Suffering: In the face of impending exile, the prophets found meaning in their predicament by interpreting it as a necessary process of purification, teaching the true worth of freedom and faith. [1]

Key Developments (8th–6th Centuries B.C.)

• 8th Century B.C.: The Assyrian Empire rises, threatening the Levant, and ultimately destroying the Northern Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) in 722 B.C.. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• 7th–6th Century B.C.: The Babylonian Empire defeats Assyria, and under Nebuchadnezzar, conquers Judah and destroys Jerusalem and the Temple in 586 B.C., initiating the Babylonian Captivity. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The prophets provided a profound interpretation of these events, focusing on moral accountability rather than just political power.

I can't figure out if you are playing dumb or are dumb. Why have your people forgotten God?

The prophets - Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Jeremiah - argued that God required social justice, ethical behavior, and exclusive worship, which the kingdoms of Israel and Judah had largely abandoned.

Rather than viewing the military, economic, and social crises solely as political failures, prophets such as Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, and Jeremiah interpreted these events as divine judgment and a call to return to covenant faithfulness. [1, 2, 3]

Would you call them anti-semitic too?

You sound like all the rest of them, with your hackneyed phrases.

If only ding and the Jew haters among us understood what they're a part of

According to biblical prophecy, the enmity between Ephraim (representing the Northern Kingdom/Israel) and Judah (the Southern Kingdom) will be healed by the Messiah, creating lasting harmony. This reconciliation is described in Isaiah 11, where envy and hostility dissolve, leading to a reunited nation of God's people living together in peace

There is more than what I quote here. Read and understand

10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious. 11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia,[c] from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.

12 He will raise a banner for the nations
and gather the exiles of Israel;
he will assemble the scattered people of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
and Judah’s enemies[d] will be destroyed;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.

No such people.

The Palestinians will tell you otherwise. I suppose you're going to say that there's "no such people" as the Khazars. You'd be dead wrong.

Oh. You again. With the same old regurgitated material.

I see your mind is still too weak to dispute the facts. That's okay. Time for your nap.

 

[ding]

No you’re not.

Yes I am.

And why would you want to?

For the same reason you are doing it.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

^^^ and the antisemite jumps in with this “fake Jew” nonsense. What the h is THAT all about? I notice other antisemites do it too.

Antisemitism Dives Deeper into the Slime

That the present Jews are descendants of Esau, who had his birthright taken away by God. The descendants of Jacob were mostly killed off by the descendants of Esau. The survivors all became the early Christians.

 

[ding]

You sound like all the rest of them, with your hackneyed phrases.

It's literally from your religious texts.

 

[ShahdagMountains]

Doing what?
