Quote from Mom0/pH0x:
LOL-
This just in: Jesus is anti-Israel. Changed your opinion since the scriptural days huh Jesus?
No. The truth is the same. I cannot be for or against what is not real. Israel is not real, despite what the word implies. It is built on false premises, namely, that man is made in the image of my Father. Both man and Israel are images of egoic thought systems that are ultimately not real.
For this reason, I sometimes told the scribes and Pharisees that their father was the devil...in reference to this egoic thought system.
Ultimately, all are my brothers and equals as the Son of God. This was rejected - before time/space/form - in order to prove that the unreal is real. Time/space/form is the "proof" you have the ability to kill the Son of God. I proved otherwise.
The prime characteristic of egoic thought system that Israel symbolizes is the idea of specialness. That one nation is favored by God more than another is absurd. That they have been given real estate as an inheritance is equally absurd.
Nevertheless, the Holy Spirit is able to use the absurd to turn the tables on the ego, whatever form it takes. If the ego is the maker of bodies, for example, the Holy Spirit will use bodies to turn the tables on this idea.
Answering the idea of specialness, the Holy Spirit assigns each member of the Sonship a role in salvation that is indispensable to the rest. No one, no nation is more or less vital to the long-term plan of salvation...all are equally indispensable.
The idea of nations is particularly egoic. They are the symbols of separation. Israel symbolizes this particularly well in its egoic form. As such, it is anti Christ, who thinks like God.
Seen properly, the only meaningful separation is truth from illusion. Nationalities are illusions. "There is no Jew or Greek in Christ", means also there is no such thing as Jew or Palestinian. These are figments of the imagination...egoic images.
The chosen people are simply those who choose truth over illusion sooner than later. There are really only two choices in the earth: to side with egoic thought systems, or with the thought system of my/our Father as presented by the Holy Spirit. Choosing both, you are not "chosen". Choose truth only and you are "chosen", which is the same as being
decided.
Since there are only two choices, either you are for Christ or against him. To be against is anti. When there is a unified effort anti, this symbolizes "the" anti-Christ. But whether the world is unified against or not, it is built on egoic thought sytems that are anti-Christ.
The trend is toward unification of anti forces as the most efficient way to bring order to the chaos that is the egoic thought system.
