A couple of days ago I addressed a reader question about why God allows the evil elite to oppress us. It was a summary of what I've said in the past about the necessity of otherworldliness and the Christian Mystic approach to life. But that's not all I've said about this subject. There is another angle to this.
On the one hand, this blog isn't obsessed with anti-Jewish blather. On the other hand, I don't shrink from warning the world about the lies of Satan. Who are his best servants? Jews. The people who are planning and guiding the oppression of humanity are the Jewish elite. At every turn throughout history, Jews have been responsible for the vast majority of human suffering. Larry Romanoff gives a very good outline of the history of one particular branch of Judaism -- the Khazars.
The article doesn't say much more than to identify how the Khazar Kingdom converted to Judaism and became the pestiferous Ashkenazim of Eastern Europe. He offers just enough description so you'll understand their bitter hatred for the rest of the world arising in part from the depraved nature of that ancient nation. What Romanoff doesn't cover at all is that Judaism itself was already depraved and bitter toward all Gentiles, before the Khazars adopted it.
So Romanoff traces how the Jewish elite have worked so hard to make our lives miserable, and they are still at it today. He doesn't connect it to the Jewish False Messianic expectations, but I've covered that on this blog already. If you can simply grasp how the New Testament lays out all the crazy nonsense that Judaism demands from God, you'll understand how this is what nailed Jesus to the Cross, in the sense of the proximate cause. That doesn't let us off the hook; we all by birth inherit the kind of sin nature that merits eternity in Hell. But the Jews are unique in their eager service to Satan.
The issue with Jews is just part of much bigger lore of what the Bible teaches about reality. I talk bad about Jews because they are a major element in the story. If you want to understand how and why this world is such an awful place, you really need to understand how Jews sold themselves to Satan, and how they have performed yeoman service to the Kingdom of Darkness since long ago. And it won't hurt you to understand how they do it, what their particular methods and frame of reference is.
But the primary message still stands: This world isn't worth having. Satan is deceiving them about what he can deliver. But Satan has that authority over the fallen realm, and the Jewish people did not hesitate to embrace the darkness. This fallen world is their realm of operations. The only way we can escape it to any degree is through the Covenant that the Jews rejected.
Thus, a very significant element in human suffering can be laid at the feet of those who can't be bothered to understand how Jesus was the living Covenant of God, and that obeying Christ means walking in a covenant commitment. You have to live the Code of Noah in order to pull even some portion of your human existence out of the hands of Satan. Why does God allow Satan to rule this world through the Jews? Because this world was never ours, but we have always had the power and authority to escape its hold on us through the Covenant.
In theory, at least, if a much larger portion of believers walked in the Covenant, the Jews would be forced to keep their hands off of us. We would know them for what they are, and we would never be prey for them. Every time they started trying to Judaize us with their mythology, we would kick them out and give them no path for infiltration. We would form our covenant communities and keep them out, and the Lord would grant to us all the miracles and victories He once gave Israel.
Why is the world such an awful place? Because we don't follow the Covenant in sufficient numbers to harvest all the promises of shalom.
