Principle: The root of anti-semitism is the spirt of the anti-Messiah...
(repeat)
Let’s dig into the Bible together…
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness! Let them rule over the fish of the sea, over the flying creatures of the sky, over the livestock, over the whole earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the land.”
God created humankind in His image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He created them.
God blessed them and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, fill the land, and conquer it. Rule over the fish of the sea, the flying creatures of the sky, and over every animal that crawls on the land.”
Then God said, “I have just given you every green plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the whole land, and every tree, which has the fruit of a tree yielding seed. They are to be food for you.
Also for every wild animal, every flying creature of the sky and every creature that crawls on the land which has life, every green plant is to be food.” And it happened so.
So God saw everything that He made, and behold it was very good. So there was evening and there was morning—the sixth day.
Parasha Bereshit
וַיַּרְא אֶלֹהִים אֶת–כָּל–אַשֶׁר עָשָׂה וְהִנֵּה–טוֹב מְאֹד
Vayareh Elohim et-kal-asher asah v’hineh-tov me’od.
So God saw everything that He made, and behold it was very good.
(Genesis 1:31a)
Parasha Bereshit
But the serpent was shrewder than any animal of the field that Adonai Elohim made. So it said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from all the trees of the garden’?”
The woman said to the serpent, “Of the fruit of the trees, we may eat.
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God said, ‘You must not eat of it and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ”
The serpent said to the woman, “You most assuredly won’t die!
For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Now the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a thing of lust for the eyes, and that the tree was desirable for imparting wisdom. So she took of its fruit and she ate. She also gave to her husband who was with her and he ate.
Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made for themselves loin-coverings.

Parasha Bereshit
Then Adonai said to Abram, “Get going out from your land, and from your relatives, and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.
My heart’s desire is to make you into a great nation, to bless you, to make your name great so that you may be a blessing.
My desire is to bless those who bless you, but whoever curses you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.
Parasha Bereshit
Covenant of circumcision
Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,
“For My part, because My covenant is with you, you will be the father of a multitude of nations.
No longer will your name be Abram, but your name will be Abraham, because I make you the father of a multitude of nations.
Yes, I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings will come forth from you.
Yes, I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, in order to be your God and your seed’s God after you.
I will give to you and to your seed after you the land where you are an outsider—the whole land of Canaan—as an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.”
Parasha Bereshit
Akeidah
The angel of Adonai called to Abraham a second time from heaven
and said, “By myself I swear—it is a declaration of Adonai—because you have done this thing, and you did not withhold your son, your only son,
I will richly bless you and bountifully multiply your seed like the stars of heaven, and like the sand that is on the seashore, and your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.
In your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed—because you obeyed My voice.”
Parasha Bereshit
Jacob’s Ladder
He happened upon a certain place and spent the night there, for the sun had set. So he took one of the stones from the place and put it by his head and lay down in that place.
He dreamed: All of a sudden, there was a stairway set up on the earth and its top reaching to the heavens—and behold, angels of God going up and down on it!
Surprisingly, Adonai was standing on top of it and He said, “I am Adonai, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your seed.
Your seed will be as the dust of the land, and you will burst forth to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed—and in your seed.
Behold, I am with you, and I will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land, for I will not forsake you until I have done what I promised you.”

Parasha Bereshit
Moses went up to God, and Adonai called to him from the mountain saying, “Say this to the house of Jacob, and tell Bnei-Yisrael,
‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagle’s wings and brought you to Myself.
Now then, if you listen closely to My voice, and keep My covenant, then you will be My own treasure from among all people, for all the earth is Mine.
So as for you, you will be to Me a kingdom of kohanim and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you are to speak to Bnei-Yisrael.”
Parasha Bereshit
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
Look, your house is left to you desolate!
For I tell you, you will never see Me again until you say, ‘Baruch ha-ba b’shem Adonai. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

Parasha Bereshit
I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
God has not rejected His people whom He knew beforehand. Or do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?
“Adonai, they have killed your prophets, they have destroyed your altars; I alone am left, and they are seeking my life.”
But what is the divine response to him? “I have kept for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
So in the same way also at this present time there has come to be a remnant according to God’s gracious choice.
But if it is by grace, it is no longer by works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened—
just as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see and ears not to hear, until this very day.”
And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
Let their eyes be darkened so they do not see, and bend their back continually.”
I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their false step salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke Israel to jealousy.
Now if their transgression leads to riches for the world, and their loss riches for the Gentiles, then how much more their fullness!
But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Insofar as I am an emissary to the Gentiles, I spotlight my ministry
if somehow I might provoke to jealousy my own flesh and blood and save some of them.
For if their rejection leads to the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
