Antisemitism

Collection

• 14 others saved this

We at Gateway are increasingly concerned about the rapid rise in antisemitism over the past few years. We define antisemitism as any belief or behavior of hostility, prejudice, discrimination or violence against a Jewish person.

Further, any criticism of the State of Israel that demonizes, delegitimizes or creates double standards for Jewish Israelis moves past anti-Zionism and into antisemitism.

Our collection of resources will help you better understand this issue, often called "the world's oldest hatred", and empower you to help be a friend to the people God chose as His "firstborn among the nations", the Jewish people.

Replacement Theology

God’s Plan of Redemption (Part 3)

God's promises for possession of the Land were conditional upon Israel's obedience to His word. As a result of disobedience, the Jewish people were uprooted, scattered, regathered, and scattered again among the nations. Because of His covenant with Abraham, God still promised to eventually return Israel to their own land. In Part 3 of this series, Nic traces the path of this forced journey between 722 BC and 1900 AD as Jewish people still clung to the promise of return from exile.
