"Woe means “grief, anguish, affliction”; the three woes of Revelation are the final judgment God pronounces on the evil inhabitants of the earth in order to spur them to repentance ( Revelation 9:20 ). The three woes are, indeed, a time of great anguish and affliction for those who have pledged their allegiance to the Antichrist during the end times ." GQ

Christian anti-semitism: does it really exist and what is it?
Our lord and savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth said the religious elite they in his day shut up the Kingdom of Heaven onto men neither do they enter nor do they let others enter. Besides Christ telling this in regards to the Pharisees, perhaps Sadducees or scribes in front of his followers, disciples or Apostles doesn't counterfeit Christianity religion do the exact same thing today? Of course. What is the doctrine that people are following and what traditions that nullify the word of God are people being taught and implemented for a very long time to date? The Bible says people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, lack of understanding and there's a way that seems right unto a man in the end it is the wrong way as it leads to death. What spirit are you people following? Did you know Christ taught a way to live on Earth that religious people think they're doing it but their not. There's a counterfeit Christianity at play and those that are in that teaching what's not biblical and passing it off as true are deceiving people. If you follow this you most likely will lose your soul. Those that are deceiving you do not love your soul and they're not watching after your soul they don't even believe in the truth but have substituted falsehoods for truth. The Bible says wow on to you that puts darkness for light and bitter for sweet. It also warns in scripture about gaining the world and losing one's own soul. Putting your hand on the Bible for example in court and swearing on that book can take your soul. You'd say what! The words in that book are binding. The Holy Scripture are going to hold man to account. Didn't Christ say don't swear.
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
The Bible says all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. In Matthew 5:34 specifically Christ is warning swear not at all. People swear all the time even taking God's name in vain. They say I swear and then lie and actually swear. They'll put their hand on the Bible and lie not knowing that if they were to die in their sins perhaps being even an atheist they're going to spend eternity in hell no more chances. Sure God is merciful but nobody's promised another day, today is the day of salvation not tomorrow.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
So look at Matthew 5:36 to 37 first set aside that true Christians could trample the blood of Christ easily by unhinging as they do we're not under the law so everything is permissible now and there's so much leeway. This is nonsense thinking because you should be a little bit smarter than that Apostle Paul said God forbid that we don't abuse grace, living in sin any longer. Trying to make up your mind can come from evil as Christ warns. Being double minded not a good thing.
When the Jewish risen Messiah the anointed one taught about the leaven of the Pharisees and scribes was he being anti-Semitic? Better put we know the devil hates the Jewish people. He hates the bloodline of Christ. He hates Jewish people he persecutes them and we wrestle not against flesh and blood of course. Satan is anti-Semitic and he hates everything to do with the true God in fact he wants to be God and he wants/desires to be worshiped. He offered Christ the kingdoms of the world that is his to give as he thinks as he is the little god of this world. When Apostle Peter was influenced just as in Matthew 5:37 is warning Christ scared/startled Peter and told Satan to get behind him that he is a stumbling block and he loves not the things that be of God but the things that be of men. Remind you of anybody? All of those warnings that Christ gave about his own people that denied him just as Isaiah the prophet warned/prophesied that happened 100's of years prior they hated him with passion even blaming his miracles came from sorcery the kingdom of darkness meaning the underworld. He gave the warning to those who are under the Pharisees the religious elite in his day obey them, listen to them but don't do as they do and he gave the explanation why not because they sit in moses' seat. Do you think the modern day Pharisees sit in Moses's seat still? I'm talking about the true Jewish rabbis those true Pharisees that deny Christ. He didn't insult their race he even went and had dinner with them when he was invited. Christ went into the Pharisees house and sat down to meat:
Luke 7 provides the memorable scene of Jesus eating at the table of a Pharisee. While he is at the table “a woman of the city, who was a sinner” — words that almost certainly indicate that she was a known prostitute — came to Jesus, washed his feet with her tears, dried them with her hair, and anointed them with oil.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
If you love me keep my Commandments. Love your neighbor as yourself. Don't do as the publicans do. You know the one who beat his breast and admitted he was a sinner went home justified. Or the one who took care of an injured person took them to an inn while a priest ignored the obvious. Or the wicked servant who buried the talent and was not faithful even beating those he should have forgiven and loved while the master was away. Every once in a while as recently was in the news some people beat up a homeless person severely injuring them sometimes killing them thinking they are better and more righteous so they become Pharisees. Again Christ never was anti-semitic against the Pharisees race. Nicodemus a Pharisee believed in him. Yes a Pharisee invited him Christ to dinner. It was a Pharisee that invited him over for dinner and he went.
"And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him." I suggest reading Luke 7:36-50 kjv
God is fair and Christ did so many works they say they could if written fill volumes other books if they had to describe those works. There's no pride in heaven. Pride comes before a fall and remember Satan used to be Lucifer fell like lightning from heaven as he and his angels were evicted. Iniquity was found in what is known today as the serpent father of lies. People can't rap around their reprobate narrow mind that love is Holy. God is Holy and if the vine is Holy so should the branches be. You cannot serve two masters you will love one and despise the other. What does it mean to be on fire for God? Why would a loving God create such a place of eternal torment? While God gave His only begotten son to keep sinners out of hell and offer them eternal life in the presence of the Lord people squander, people abuse grace and mercy like there's no tomorrow and make excuses. There's a road the straight narrow way despite that we're not under the law. And those in religion trying to keep the law the scriptures warn that if they break one point they break all of it yet people that don't understand the holy scriptures and follow doctrines of devils are living in perpetual sin wrapped in blind ignorant are deceived. We're told to forgive always and to pray for those who persecute you. Love your enemies. There's an excuse, an ignorance every foot it seems to me. We can be lukewarm and then we are reminded God hates this. We can be too hot, not lukewarm at all and become Pharisees or when we are contending for the faith once delivered onto the Saints that could be thrown back into our face and be taken as apostasy.
After notes: While a person is not tempted by God to sin, they can be "lured and enticed by his own desires" to sin (James 1:13–15). In heaven God's Kingdom the first will be last and the last will be first. God is fair and just, righteous and holy. Before the foundations of the world were laid he loved you. Christ died for the sins of the world if that was not so probably most everybody would be lost even the fact that the time had to be shortened. As written in Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Remember the relationship was severed because of sin. Remember without the shedding of blood there would be no forgiveness for/of sins.
