Are the Jews meek?

    I thought these were pretty surprising comments in the Consolation magazine in 1946, just a few months after the full horrors of the holocaust emerged, under the heading "Are the Jews meek?":

    "There is no evidence in the Scriptures that the Jews as a people are meek. On the contrary, Jehovah's Witnesses only find it stated in the Bible that the Jews are "stiff-necked and hard-hearted", but when they call at their homes with the message of God's kingdom they witness the same characteristics. They seem to think that because they are Jews, and were once God's chosen people, they must ever remain that way." Consolation, Jan 2nd 1946, pages 14 and 15.

    "Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." romans 11:28-29

    This book will help you realise how meek the Jews are and how they put into practise their own Holocaust mantra, "Never again" http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ethnic-Cleansing-Palestine-Ilan-Pappe/dp/1851685553/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1345503539&sr=1-1

    Regardless of whether they are meek or not, God is gathering them back to their ancestral homelands.

    John writes in Revelation 12:

    And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

    During the battle of Armageddon, there will be a temple (as stated here). Thus, it will have to be rebuilt. Ezekiel gives them the directions.

    And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

    During the battle, two prophets will be raised up to the Jewish nation. They will minister for three and a half years and then be killed.

    And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

    Although God will do this for the Jews, John makes it clear that Jerusalem will be classed as a wicked city at the time the battle will take place.

    And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

    After three and a half days, the two prophets will be resurrected and ascend to heaven. And Gog, the great Beast or Antichrist, will see them.

    Do please remind me of the scriptures, they sound familier but most such scriptures talk about the Nation of Israel rather than the Nation of Jews, people do get confused when they see a bunch of white folk from South Russia who call themselves Jews inhabiting Palestine and they assume its scripture coming to pass, where in fact God will regather Israel, not just Judah, that is 12 tribes not just 1.

    Just because we no longer know who is decended from the Lost tribes of Israel, doesnt mean God doesnt know.

    but when they call at their homes with the message of God's kingdom they witness the same characteristics.

    I imagine, in 1946, it was still fresh in the Jew's minds, who liberated the Jews in Europe from the concentration camps- was it JWs? uh, no- was it the WT's kingdom of Jehovah? uh, no again. Was it General Eisenhower's army, for one? YES.

    Wow, do you think we can stereotype other groups, too? I mean, if this stereotyping thing works, it may just catch on!!!

    A rather strange thing to publish, specially in 1946.
