‘And the whole people answering, said:
His Blood be upon us and upon our children.’
Matthew 27:25
From the first time that blood was ever spilled when Cain slew Abel and his brother’s blood cried out from the ground to the Lord.
To the blood of the prophets.
To the blood of lambs and other sacrificial animals in the Old Covenant.
To the Blood of the New Covenant.
To the Blood that gushed forth with water from the Heart of Jesus as a Fountain of Mercy for us.
Our God is a God of blood.
It is that simple.
It may be more succinctly put that He is, of course, the God of DNA.
And He does not forget that which is not forgiven.
It is not an easy task to explain that which we, as humans, cannot comprehend.
That is why God is God and no one else is.
But to anyone who can read, it is obvious that God entered into a blood covenant with the nation of Israel in the Old Testament, and a Blood Covenant with the world in the New Testament.
In reality, Jesus is our “Blood Brother.”
And this year, Passover, which commemorates the Hebrew nation using the blood of the lamb on their doorposts so that the Angel of Death would “pass over” their homes on that terrible night in Egypt when all the firstborn died, coincides with the commemoration of Holy Thursday — the first time the Lamb of God turned wine into His Precious Blood.
The first time that the Sacrifice of the Mass was offered.
A covenant of Blood that continues today.
But what of the curse?
The curse the Israelites put upon themselves when they shouted out to Pilate: “His Blood be upon us and upon our children.”
We, as a world, are ignoring this factor.
A critical factor for it has not yet been forgiven by the Lord for the people of Israel have not yet asked.
We love the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.
But there is a problem.
One the leaders of our Church refuse to recognize since it has recently proclaimed that it is not necessary to evangelize Jewish people. While the Church does not actively seek this conversion, the Lord Jesus continues to convert more Jewish people — especially scientists — who investigate the Shroud than through any other method!
While the evangelization of anyone should never be done with force, we cannot neglect the fact that the world is in the situation it is in because a vast majority of the human population hates Israel. As evident from so many attacks against them, there is a lot of hatred in the blood of many others to kill Jewish men, women and children just for the sake of killing them.
There is another factor the world refuses to recognize as to why we are in the situation we are in. Not only does the vast majority of the world hate Israel, but the vast majority of Jewish people reject their King.
They rejected Him almost 2,000 years ago.
They continue to reject Him today.
In Israel today, they call Prime Minister Ariel Sharon the “king.”
He is NOT their king. Jesus is.
As anyone who reads our web site knows, we are not opposed to controversy or speaking out boldly. We all must understand that in this world we are living the curse.
We do not advocate an evangelization of Israel.
We do not advocate forced conversions as of old when Jewish men and women, under the penalty of torture or death, were baptized.
But we do advocate realism.
Ishmael — represented by the islamic people — hates Isaac — represented by the Jewish people.
The Apostle Paul equated it best in Galatians 4:22, when he wrote, under the Divine Inspiration of the Holy Spirit: “For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman, was by promise. … But as then, he, that was born according to the flesh [read also Cain, as well as Ishmael], persecuted him that was after the Spirit [read Abel, as well as Isaac]; so also it is now.”
And so the world suffers as Ishmael’s heirs wreck havoc against Isaac’s heirs.
What can we do to end this?
We, as individuals, can, in all honesty, do nothing.
But Jesus, as One individual, can.
St. Paul wrote, “But what saith the Scripture? ‘Cast out the bondwoman and her son; for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.’ So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free: by the freedom wherewith Christ has made us free” Galatians 4:30-31.
There is the difference.
Christ Jesus is the difference.
We cannot have, we will not have, nor will there be peace between Cain and Abel, Ishmael and Isaac, children of the bondwoman or children of the free, until Christ the King Reigns.
And Christ the King will not Reign until Israel recognizes Him.
Not Ariel Sharon.
Not David Ben-Gurion.
Not George Bush.
But while we cannot do anything as individuals, there is something we can do collectively to help this along. It is not to be as the Church wimp and leave the world’s religions to duke it out while we pray only for peace.
WE NEED TO PRAY FOR CONVERSION!
CONVERSION OF ISRAEL!
CONVERSION OF ISLAM!
Peace cannot be attained by prayers that do not ask for conversion of hearts!
And hearts will not have peace unless they are converted to Jesus!
Of old, the people of Israel called down upon themselves the Blood of the Savior — but not as a redemption of life. Instead, as a punishment for shedding the innocent Blood of the Lamb of God.
That one biblical verse continues to echo through history right up to today.
Through the destruction of the Temple to the homicide bombings of tomorrow.
Israel will not convert because protest-ants have flooded the country with prophecy “experts,” Holy Land tours, or Bible “codes.”
Israel will convert because we ask our God to do the one thing only He can do.
“Behold, He cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him, and they also that pierced Him. And all the tribes of the Earth shall bewail themselves because of Him” Apocalypse 1:7.
Then we will have peace in the Middle East.
Then will the nations beat their swords into ploughshares.
Then there will be no more innocent blood shed in the Blood of the New Covenant.
Then will there be no king of Israel but Christ the King.
The King of the Jews.
And the Son of David.
Let us hasten this event in the only way possible — not with guns, bombs, boats, bullets or planes; but with a Consecration Prayer we offer below; one the Church has long ago abandoned because, after Vatican II, it feared the words were insensitive to those who do not believe. But we are in a war of words, as He is the Word.
Let us not worry about offending those who do not believe.
Let us worry about offending God and His Mother, the Queen of Israel.
