Shalom Haverim!
A special gift to my Jewish brethren, and to all who love the God of Israel, or who will come to love Him:
I am a gentile Christian who got your letter presumably because you thought I was Jewish.
The killers of Jesus the Christ were THE ROMANS, THEHERODIANS[GENTILE EDOMITES] and some of the Pharisees. Quite a number of the Pharisees were believers but too afraid to take a stand.
WHEN JESUS THE CHRIST ENTERED JERUSALEM THE JEWS SPREAD THEIR CLOAKS IN FRONT OF HIM.
The reason for His killing was that a few unpopular religious nuts were jealous of the Christ’s popularity with the jews.
You can find this all in the brit hadeshah.The bulk of the Christ’s killers were gentiles.
I don’t think this will endear the Jews to Yeshua. It was this kind of statement that fed Hitler’s campaign to destroy Jews in the Holocaust.
Please examine Scriptures again.

Margaret, so you also believe in Jesus Christ? Wonderful! Yes, I am also familiar with the Brit Hadassah [New Testament] and am thankful for this opportunity to share with you what I have heard in It, as I am sure you will not dispute Its authority as the Word of God. It is exciting to be able to show you something that you apparently have not yet seen.
Hear this:
Acts 2:22-23 EMTV
(22) "Men of Israel [not Gentiles], hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves also know–
(23) Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you [not the Romans] took, and by lawless hands, nailing Him to a cross, you [not the Romans] killed Him.
How about that?! Aren’t you glad you wrote me now, so that you could be converted to God’s way of seeing things? Peter was speaking by inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
This is not to say, of course, that the rest of mankind is not guilty of sin and in need of the blood of Christ, as you well know the Scriptures teach ("for all have sinned"). But now you also know that the Jews as a people have the blood of the Passover Lamb on their hands and consciences, and need to turn from this specific sin in order to be reconciled to their God.
You are also apparently unfamiliar with what the Jews said at Jesus’ trial:
Matthew 27:20-25 EMTV
(20) But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowds [of Jews, not Gentiles] that they should ask for Barabbas, but they should destroy Jesus.
(21) The governor answered and said to them, "Which of the two do you wish me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!"
(22) Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus Who is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!"
(23) Then the governor said, "Why, what evil did He do?" But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!"
(24) And Pilate, seeing that nothing was being gained, but rather a riot was starting, taking water, he washed his hands clean in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Man. You see to it."
(25) And ALL the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children."
The Holy Spirit would convict and hold accountable those guilty, as He did by Peter at Pentecost. Why, as one professing Christ, would you want to stand in the way of that? Are you not found to oppose God? There is a Scripture:
“One who has been the cause of a man’s death will go in flight to the underworld: let no man give him help” (Proverbs 28:17 BBE).
One translation attributes the flight to the pit or the underworld to a guilty conscience:
“A murderer’s conscience will drive him into hell. Don’t stop him!”
Don’t you know that when you remove the charge due the Jews, you serve to neutralize the consciousness of their guilt? You disallow the pricking of their hearts, the conviction of sin, and therefore you rob them of the opportunity to make amends through repentance. You are, in effect, guilty of the blood of the Jews by denying their blood guiltiness. Don’t you realize that? But God is saying not to stop or interfere with the guilt process. In due time, it brings one to repentance.
Margaret, you are worshipping another Jesus altogether. The words Peter spoke by Jesus Christ cut the Jewish hearers to the heart, they did not endear Jesus to them. Jesus is not Santa Claus, or some soppy nice fellow, He is God Almighty! You really need a revolution in your being and outlook, my Gentile friend, coming away from the Gentile idols of counterfeit Christianity, and coming to the true God of Israel. That is Who sent us with The Key for Israel and the Jew.
You should be reading extensively in the section Israel and the Jew and elsewhere on our site. But if you cannot properly read a single sentence letter, how can you possibly responsibly read what God has given us, or the Scriptures?
I didn’t think you were Jewish; my words encompassed both Jew and Gentile:
"A special gift to my Jewish brethren, and to all who love the God of Israel, or who will come to love Him."
Which is everyone, for we know it is certain that every knee will bend, and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11).
Isn’t that Good News, too?
It was expected, as one would expect pus and putrefaction to emerge from a boil that was lanced. Cleansing and healing will follow, because God has ordained it for His people. Will you, Israel, identify with the pus or the Doctor?
What the God of Israel has done for me, and what He will do for you.
A Letter of Promise, Hope, and Exhortation to the Dispersed and Oppressed Uncircumcised-in-Heart Seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
We witness the ungodly and unjust hatred for Jews everywhere and consider there is something important going on. We are also in awe of the marvelous historical developments and events, knowing very well, by God’s grace, that man cannot do what has developed concerning the Jews at any time, perhaps especially in this last century. Here is a letter of promise to God’s chosen in the flesh, based on His faithfulness and awesome power:
“I, even I, am He Who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass; and have forgotten the LORD your Maker, Who stretched forth the Heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth…?” (Isaiah 51:12-13 HNV)
“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the hearts” (Proverbs 21:2 HNV).
Israel, come hear the Word of God, and let your hearts be revealed; know the Truth and be reconciled to Your Father. It is time. Of what value is it to continue in darkness, not knowing Him and His heart towards you, Who has loved you from days of old and draws you with lovingkindness?
Israel, your God knows and sees what you suffer. He is not remote, unfamiliar, or unaffected by what is happening with you. There is a reason for your predicament, however, a reason that holds the key to the solution for all. There is an answer from God, which you need to hear and know.
Jews, you have tried everything to be at peace, to have dialogue with, and to appease, the world. You have tried everything, and nothing has worked, because you lacked the simple solution. Here is the key for Israel, the Jew, and the whole world.
