The Most Rev. Linda Nicholls has just released a statement claiming that the Anglican Church of Canada opposes antisemitism:
We must stand against antisemitism whenever we hear or see it. We stand in solidarity with Jewish people around the world who desire to live in safety and security without fear, as do all people.
But is this just doing what the church does best: virtue signaling?
In February, the ACoC urged Justin Trudeau to support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza – by the IDF, of course, since ACoC has little concern whether Hamas continues to fire rockets into Israel. This must be what Nicholls meant by “We stand in solidarity with Jewish people around the world”. Hang on, now I get it: stand in solidarity with Jewish people around the world, except those in Israel.
And, more recently in March, Nicholls signed a letter to the Canadian government rejoicing that Canada has reinstated UNWRA funding – a thoroughly antisemitic organization
Perhaps ACoC leaders are in a moral muddle and, lacking any functioning ethical or spiritual compass, are simply trying to keep everyone happy. Or perhaps they are antisemitic themselves and are trying to conceal it.
It seems to me the big picture is that God loves the world, but the world hates God. The state of Israel only occupies a small part of the land promised to Abraham and his descendants. Yet, Israel’s Arab neighbours occupy more land and owe petroleum as well. What is God’s plan for the future of Israel and its people?
The Prophetic Lens of Holy Scripture offers The True Church The LORD’s Answer: The Ingathering of the Jewish People to The Land given to them by The LORD GOD of Israel. The 19c Church of England believed this and enabled it by their Prayers and Missions in then designated ‘Palestine’. 20c Marxism and its 1964 made in Moscow PLO interrupted this Divine Program for Israel, infiltrating both Church and Nation States. The anti-Semitic UK Foreign Office played their part with the Mandate Peel Commission and the “death sentence” White Paper of May 17, 1939: Both before and after WWII, and The Shoah 1930-1945. Our world witnessed a world silent, Canada including ‘Churches’, prohibiting their entry, as Jewry marked for Nazi annihilation. Canada’s House of Commons witnessed the abject failure to “Never Again!” (SWC) with the Marxist auld alliance Motion of the NDPand PRC Liberals Monday evening past – an evening going down in infamy both on earth, and more dreadful yet, in Heaven. It is the + Psalm 83 hour unfolding just now at the UN, Russia, as Prophesied at the helm. “Watch and Pray”. Amen.\
During the third Blood Moon of the Tetrad which fell on April 4, 2015 of Israel’s Pesach, the Obama/Biden Administration signed the Framework for the anti-Israel Iran Nuclear Deal; finalized on July 11, 2015 -Signatories Russia, China, Germany, France, UK, USA and Iran. On April 4, 2024, ‘President’ Biden abandoned Israel with his demand for an immediate Ceasefire decoupled from the ongoing plight of Israeli Hostages, thus emboldening the now formed ‘Axis of Resistance’ of Russia, China and Iran and Touching The Apple of GOD’s Eye. On Friday, April 5, 2024, The Big Apple and its UNSC received a tremblor warning whose epicenter was ‘Lebanon’, New Jersey. On April 8, 2024, the USA will fall under the second arc of a solar eclipse of a Saltire Cross, the first having taken place on August 21, 2017. + Matthew ch. 24. Amen.
Well said.
Perhaps, the more important questions are: Do we believe that humans are created in the image of God? Who is my neighbor?
