The
interesting thing about secular history is it constantly repeats
itself. Spiritual history is no different. The Christian Religion is
following a parallel path to the Jewish Religion and will suffer the
same fate.
Just
like Israel of old,
Institutional Christianity has given up its pursuit of the Irresistible
Kingdom of God, and forsaken the Heavenly Order of things where Christ
is Head; instead, they have set their sights on political power, wealth,
and position.
Is
today’s system of Churchianity any less narrow-minded, self-righteous,
and self-centered than that system of Judaism which rejected Jesus
Christ? Are our religious icons, television preachers, and
institutional pastors any less blind leaders of the blind? Are
Christians today any better able to recognize the true identity of the
King and the spiritual nature, character, location, timing, scope, and
covenantal basis of His Kingdom than their Jewish counterparts of two
thousand years ago? Even with the benefit of hindsight and a complete
Scriptural record, the gross spiritual immaturity among professing
believers today is appalling.
As
a result, most Christians are just as ignorant of the true nature of
the Kingdom of God as their Jewish predecessors. “How foolish and blind
those Jews were! They crucified their Messiah!” But before we criticize
the Jews for their spiritual dullness let us look at ourselves. This
spiritual blindness and misapprehension of God’s purpose is not limited
to those first century Jews. As the saying goes, those who do not learn
from history are doomed to repeat it. So far we
Christians have done an excellent job of duplicating and perpetuating
the same old Jewish misconceptions, even adding a few interesting twists
to further compound the error...
