Anti-Semitic incidents have dramatically increased since Hamas violently attacked Israel on October 7. In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra talk about some ways to combat anti-Semitism that you may not immediately think of. They discuss the origins of anti-Semitism and how, at its root, lies a spiritual matter. They also discuss:

Anti-Semitism isn’t new. Anti-Semitic spirits revealed in the Bible from Pharaoh to Haman and all the way to today’s terror group, Hamas
Who the biblical kingdom of Persia is today
What we can do about anti-Semitism
How to explain your faith and desire for your Jewish friend to know Jesus

Along the Way

Along the way, they’ll also discuss things like:

The Holocaust started as an idea that turned into propaganda
The organized Church’s persecution of Jewish people throughout history – whether or not those people were truly followers of Jesus – has left the Jewish people with a lot to overcome about Jesus
The fear of “Jewish fragility”
Where “blessing Israel” and “Christian Zionism” often fall short
Understanding that talking to Jewish people about Jesus is not anti-Semitic
Being careful of your language when sharing the Gospel with Jewish people. They’re not converting to another religion; they’re following the Jewish Messiah sent to the house of Israel as promised by the Hebrew Scriptures
The importance of learning to recognize subtle forms of Replacement Theology. Jewish people do not have a separate way to God apart from faith in Yeshua (Jesus)
