I receive a lot of unusual letters here at Power of Prophecy, but some of the mail I have been receiving about Senator Joe Lieberman, Al Gore’s vice presidential running mate, deserves to be placed in a very special "strange" category all its own.
Consider a letter I received from Arnold and Ellen Rosenbloom of Decatur, Illinois, co-founders of a group called Christians for Jewish Friendship. The Rosenblooms not only objected to my recent article about Al Gore and Joe Lieberman, they insisted that God would punish me, or anyone else for going against a Jew. Here’s a portion of their letter:
|
"...Mr. Marrs, Christians must bless the Jews or be cursed. This means we must vote for any Jew who runs for office or God will punish us. We can never criticize a Jew and must do everything we can to help Israel, including giving them foreign aid money. It is our duty before God.
The fact is only the Jews are God’s Chosen People. Only the Jews, not the Gentiles, have Abraham’s promise and blessing. They are superior to us. Lieberman is a Jew, so he is God’s chosen. Yes, it is true he supports abortion, homosexuality, gun control, etc., but God has chosen Lieberman. Shall we defy God?...
As for the Palestinians, God has given Israel the nuclear bomb. Better to blow away the Arabs than to offend the Jews. Again, as Christians, we must defend God’s Chosen People. If necessary, Palestinians must be put into concentration camps and disposed of. The land of Israel must be cleansed of this bad Arab blood and DNA. God gave the land to the Jews forever. The Arabs are a plague against God’s Chosen People.
If America will bless and prosper the Jews, God will bless America. Otherwise, we will suffer great loss..." |

Who Are God’s Chosen People?
Obviously, the Rosenblooms, who claim to be evangelical, dispensationalist, Christians, have never had the opportunity of listening to my audiotape series, Who Are God’s Chosen People? (Available in Tape or CD) If they did, perhaps the Rosenblooms would be stung and convicted by the power of God’s Word and would abandon their unholy racist views.
Yes, unfortunately, like so many people today who claim to be fine evangelical Christians, the Rosenblooms are bigoted and racist. And racism is a sin.
In my audiotapes, I quote Galatians 3:6-9, which proves the Rosenblooms wrong. These scriptures clearly define the "Children of Abraham" as those of all races and all nations who share faith in the true gospel:
|
"Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham." |
Thus, all nations, all people, who put their faith in Jesus Christ are blessed of Abraham and are the children of Abraham. Not just the Jews, but Gentiles also:
|
"That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." (Galatians 3:14) |
God is Not a Racist Bigot!
What the Rosenblooms and, indeed, virtually the entire evangelical Christian establishment fail to acknowledge is that God is not a racist bigot! He does not favor the Jews over the Gentiles, nor Aryans over Jews, nor whites over blacks, nor blacks over whites. God’s seed—His chosen people—are those of all races and nations who trust in the Word of God, who believe in Jesus our Lord, and who are born again through faith according to His Promise (John 3:3).
 My dear Rosenblooms, I appeal to you to cast aside the lies you have been taught for so long by the confused, celebrity leadership of the Christian establishment. Regardless of what Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Billy Graham, Benny Hinn, and others may teach about the racial Jews being God’s chosen people, trust in God’s Word, which reveals that the flesh (race) profiteth a man little and that Abraham’s "seed" are all those who believe in Christ, not those of a particular human blood type or DNA.
The Bible says that Jews and Gentile alike are born in sin, but through the blood of Jesus, a man or woman can miraculously become God’s child, heir to the Promise of Abraham, God’s Chosen. Jews and Palestinians alike can be saved—and become God’s Chosen People. God is no respecter of persons.
Abraham’s Seed—One in Jesus!
This is what Texe Marrs preaches because it is the Word of God. Consider, please, this remarkable declaration, found in Galatians 3:16, regarding who are the seed of Abraham, the Israel of God, heirs to the promise:
|
"Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seed, as of many, but as of one, And to thy seed which is Christ..." |
How glorious is God’s plan for salvation! Abraham’s seed is not made up of all the Jews (many) but is comprised of all men and women having faith in Christ Jesus! If you are in Christ and your sins are washed by His blood, you are Abraham’s seed, through faith in Christ:
|
"But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe...
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." |
We discover, then, that God’s blessing is for His "Israel of God"—that is, for the men and women, regardless of race or nationality, who have put on Christ. This has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are Jew or Gentile. It is not your physical race that identifies you as a heavenly resident of "Israel" or as Abraham’s seed, but your standing with Christ Jesus:
|
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the Promise." (Galatians 3:16, 22, 26-29) |
Isn’t this tremendous? As a Christian, you are one of God’s Chosen People. You don’t have to be born into a certain family or race. You are His seed, through faith in Christ Jesus, whatever your race, nation, or gender. Why haven’t most Christians been taught this incredible truth? Why does the Christian evangelical establishment constantly feed the people unscriptural, racist lies? Who is behind this plot to conceal the blessings of Christ Jesus bestowed on His Chosen People, blood-washed Christians?
Lieberman is Not Among God’s Chosen People
God’s love extends to all who will believe, to "whosoever will..." If Joseph Lieberman were to believe in Christ, he would be of the Promise. He would be Abraham’s seed; he would be one of God’s Chosen People. Not because he is of Jewish blood, but because he would belong to Jesus and would be saved and chosen, paid for in full by Christ Jesus’ blood shed on the cross.
But Lieberman denies and rejects Christ. Thus, he is not one of God’s Chosen. He belongs to the camp of the Adversary:
|
"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father..." (I John 2:22-23) |
No wonder, then, that Senator Joe Lieberman so avidly promotes homosexual abominations. No wonder Lieberman sees nothing wrong with torturing and killing innocent, little live babies by crushing their tiny heads as they are pulled out of the mother’s womb in "partial birth abortions."
The horrible, inescapable truth is that Lieberman is of Satan’s Seed—but not because he’s of Jewish blood. He is of Satan’s seed because he purposely has chosen to deny the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and because he rejects the testimony in God’s New Testament. What’s more, Al Gore, also, is of Satan’s seed for by his rotten fruits, we judge his heart.
My friends, Lieberman’s Jewishness provides him no exception. Indeed, we all have to choose whom we shall serve. Our racial DNA is of no spiritual value and of little or no significance. This body is just a shell. It shall return to dust, whether Jew or Gentile. But eternal life awaits the person who spiritually is born again through Christ Jesus! (John 3:3)
Life and death, therefore, stand before each of us. How tragic that Senator Joseph Lieberman chooses death. Let us, therefore, pray for His salvation, that he, too, will become one of God’s Chosen People. Indeed, we who love them must pray for all the Jewish people. May they find peace and rest through Jesus our Lord.
