Wanneer mense in aanraking kom met die leringe van die Hebreeuse wortels, is dit nie te lank nie voordat een of ander leermeester aan daardie kant hulle doelbewus of subtiel gaan probeer wegkry van die fundamentele boeke van Paulus asook Hebreërs ens. totdat mens naderhand aan die anderkant uitkom met so te sê geen Nuwe Testament nie.
So word mens se geloof in JaHUsha as Messias boek vir boek stelselmatig weggekalwe. Die rede daarvoor is dat die onderhouding van die wette van Moses (die Levietese wette) deur hulle groter gemaak word as JaHUsha en Sy gebooie, so sonder dat mens dit aanvanklik regtig agterkom en hierdie boeke weerlê juis die lering van die Levities-georiënteerde Hebreeuse wortels baie uitdruklik.
Die konflik in die Midde-Ooste kan veel verder terug gevoer word as 1948 met die totstandkoming van die staat Israel, al hou die konflikte oor die eeue nie noodwendig met mekaar verband nie.
Professor Lodewyk Sutton is hoof van die Departement Ou en Nuwe Testament by die Fakulteit Teologie en Religie aan die Universiteit van die Vrystaat. Hy spesialiseer ook in antieke tale en kulture, het argeologiese werk in Israel gedoen en lei gereeld toere na Egipte en Israel. Hy praat oor konflik in die Midde-Ooste oor die eeue.
RSG het in vier baie kort, maar sinvolle onderhoude met prof. Lodewyk in gesprek getree oor hierdie onderwerp. Volg dit in die potgooie direk hierna.
The ancient Romans pinned the name on the Land of Israel. In 135 CE, after stamping out the province of Judea’s second insurrection, the Romans renamed the province Syria Palaestina—that is, “Palestinian Syria.” They did so resentfully, as a punishment, to obliterate the link between the Jews (in Hebrew, Y’hudim and in Latin Judaei) and the province (the Hebrew name of which was Y’hudah). “Palaestina” referred to the Philistines, whose home base had been on the Mediterranean coast.
The value of this history is not in how it relates to anyone’s preferences regarding the two-state solution or other ideas about peace. Its value inheres in its accuracy. A true account of history justifies itself.
“The self-ordained theologian/phony lawyer/con man/thief/family deserter Cyrus Scofield, Britain’s Lord Balfour and U.S. President Harry Truman formed the unholy trinity that helped to create the biggest fraud on planet earth: Zionist Israel. Don’t forget to also thank the United Nations. But the biggest culprit of the bunch is Scofield and his gaggle of blinded and evangelical Israel idolaters, who swear to themselves that Zionist Israel is Biblical Israel and “God’s Chosen People”.The problem is, these evangelicals are following the doctrines of Christian Zionism taught by John Darby and C. I. Scofield. Their entire understanding of Christianity is Israel-based. It is no hyperbole to say that for most evangelicals, their faith hinges on Israel. Said another way: They have no faith without Israel. They are devoid of New Covenant truth.” – Chuck Baldwin

Zionism was created by Theodor Herzl, an Austro-Hungarian Jewish journalist and political activist. Zionism is a religious and political effort that brought thousands of Jews from around the world back to their ancient homeland in the Middle East and reestablished Israel as the central location for Jewish identity. Modern Zionism was officially established as a political organization by Herzl in 1897.
After the Dreyfus Affair, Herzl wrote Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State), a pamphlet that called for political recognition of a Jewish homeland in the area then known as Palestine. In 1897, Herzl organized the First Zionist Congress, which met in Basel, Switzerland. He also formed and became the first president of the World Zionist Organization. Although Herzl died in 1904 – years before Israel was officially declared a state – he’s often considered the father of modern Zionism.
In 1917, British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour wrote a letter to Baron Rothschild, a wealthy and prominent leader in the British Jewish community. In the brief correspondence, Balfour expressed the British government’s support for the establishment of a Jewish home in Palestine. This letter was published in the press one week later and eventually became known as the “Balfour Declaration.”
The text was included in the Mandate for Palestine – a document issued by the League of Nations in 1923 that gave Great Britain the responsibility of establishing a Jewish national homeland in British-controlled Palestine. Two well-known Zionists, Chaim Weizmann and Nahum Sokolow, played important roles in obtaining the Balfour Declaration.
In the years before and during World War II, thousands of European Jews fled to Palestine or other regions to escape hostility. After the Holocaust ended, Zionist leaders actively promoted the idea of an independent Jewish nation.
With the end of Great Britain’s mandate in Palestine and the British army’s withdrawal, Israel was officially declared an independent state on May 14, 1948. The rise of Zionism led to massive Jewish immigration into Israel.
Before 1948, Palestine was home to a diverse population of Arabs, Jews and Christians, as all groups had religious ties to the area, especially Jerusalem.

On the 2nd of November 1917 Arthur James Balfour (the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs), wrote the Balfour Declaration and addressed it to Lord Walter Rothschild. It brought devastation to the inhabitants of Palestine, although the Declaration assured otherwise ….
Een honderd jaar gelede (2 November 1917) het Athur Balfour (die Britse Buitelandse Sekretaris) die Balfour Deklarasie geskryf aan Lord Walter Rothschild. Dit word tans gevier en herdenk in Brittanje en Israel, terwyl die Palestyne dit nie heeltemal so positief onthou nie. Hulle verwag ten minste ‘n apologie weens dit wat hulle te beurt geval het as gevolg daarvan al sê die Deklarasie…
