In this video, Rabbi Ken Spiro breaks down the current religions of the world and their relationship to Israel and why exactly antisemitism is popular.

I am a Muslim and Arab, and I am surprised how he made religions ethnic and every religion came from a certain father. Nothing in the Torah says so. Religion is a message, a way of life, that a prophet preaches for his people regardless of their ethnicity. And it always said two things, 1) Worship One God, and 2) Do good. Islam was not originated by Ismael and is not even meant for his descendants. In fact, the word "Islam" is an Arabic word that means Submission and Surrender. Ismael was not even an Arab. It does not refer to a certain person or people. The Message that Abraham carried was one. And it's the very same as Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed. If Ismael is for the Arab only, Quran would not have a great reverence for Jacob, Josef, Moses, David, Solomon, and all the biblical prophets. Quran always describes them in the most admirable ways and tells us that those are the best of you and shall be taken as your role models.

As a believer in the Jewish Messiah Jesus who was born by a virgin in Bethlehem, exiled to Egypt, grew up in Nazareth, started his ministry in Judea and Samaria, and who finished in Jerusalem before His death and resurrection and ascension to Heaven, who will come again to His people Israel and rule for 1,000 years before our Father comes to join Him and live with His people once again as first in the garden in the eternal land of Israel, I really enjoyed this video and I bear no antisemitism towards my Jewish older brothers. As a gentile I was grafted into the spiritual Israel, for which I am eternally grateful to my Jewish Lord and Savior ❤

people who don't understand what Israel is, are part of the problem, not the solution: HASHEM MUST FORM ISRAEL from the nations: There is no GENETIC Israel. Abraham the father of many nations was not an Israelite or Jew but God made him one: God TAKES FOR HIMSELF A PEOPLE FOR HIS NAME. They are not ever born: This is a strong delusion: Every single soul has to be FORMED within the creation: If soul is in exile, because he didn't come up and out of his corporeal identity, then he is still a soul in exile till he CLIMBS that ladder like Jacob had to do in order to become ISRAEL. If a soul remembers that he is a SOUL in a corporeal body, then he would never THINK that his corporeal body inherited anything but going back to the DUST as his spirit goes back to Hashem. ONLY if he GAINED A SOUL can live outside of the body and return with his SPIRIT to Hashem, because HASHEM made it a HOLY SPIRIT (Ruach qodesh): There is no HOLY Spirit until it returns to Hashem who makes it HOLY, WHOLE and complete as an ENTITY, a BEING outside of the body:

Jews also manipulated many things to make people see Yeshua as a founder of Christianity, a thing He never did. The majority of Jews thinks that, and some including, calls him a sorcerer, but speak against him being a Jew is not antisemitism. I am a messianic Jew, and how Israel treats us is cowardice. Soon enough, the truth will appear and many other hidden people with the same faith will be revealed. They still didn't because of their safety. I was never against Israel, but We must speak the truth here. Speaking of all Jews is antisemitism, but this concept can't be applied to Yeshua, a Jew who taught the Torah.

[@Bolaway]

@@batyaintzfat Yeah, They have, and I can show many here in my country who have. If Jews didn't have, I wouldn't be blacklisted in this channel, getting my comments removed for speaking the truth in simple words. Also, Jews can't be accepted in Israel believing in Yeshua, but Chabad Jews can at the same time They believe in Lubavitch as mashiach. Messianic Jews are considered Christians and many lose their family due to the brainwashing did there. Now the things are getting better, but this is the reality. If the problems were the translations, Rabbis would allow people reading the Brit Chadashah, but I saw many burning these books and now allowing the distribution. In a few words, They don't want people to have their own opinion. Israel must make teshuvah. End of conversation. They allow gay parade, but not Yeshua.

I’ve long thought the same about right & wrong - we just ‘know’ it. It’s interesting indeed. No morality in the animal kingdom and mankind’s goodness is a feature not of our own to be prideful in.

The approach regarding Christianity is TOTALLY incorrect . There is a TOTAL disregard for the MANY prophecies in the Tanakh that authenticate the identity of Yeshua as The mashiach born in Bethlehem, protected in Egypt, and raised in Nazareth over 2000 years ago. In bodily form He was a Jew. He had no ties to Rome, except the Roman cross that he was cricified on. Pilate had a sign posted in mockery declaring (in the Jewish face) that He was "King of the Jews" in Hebrew, Greek and in Latin. (ALL OF THIS is documented).

King David is who was born in Bethlehem and as Isaiah prophesied, his descendant the Moshiach comes at the End of the Days and will be ANIMATED BY THE FEAR OF THE LRD, his teachings will bring about WORLD PEACE and all of Mankind to the Rightful worship of the CREATOR, the ETERNAL ONE, EHYEH ASHER EHYEH/I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE, his GD, his LRD, his SAVIOR, his REDEEMER, to WHOM EVERY KNEE SHALL KNEEL, EVERY TONGUE SHALL SWEAR!

Not sure if I understood it correctly, but it seems he said that Jewish tradition holds that Christianity came down the line of Esau? The Bible teaches that Jesus was a descendant of Jacob.

[@cohenlabe1]

Christianity is Rome Italians are the descendants of esiv that is what he is talking about jesus never practiced Christiananity

[@sechrima9998]

@@cohenlabe1 This is such nonsense. Romans have no connection to Edom or Esau in the Bible, except that they were oppressive enemies of Israel for a time. Christianity is a Messianic sect of Second Temple Judaism that opened its doors to gentiles. Jesus brought the Romans to worship at the altar of the God of Israel, even after they crucified Him. That you see Esau in this is both disgusting and astonishing.

[@brynawaldman5790]

​@@sechrima9998Christianity moved north into Europe, historically, & was never wide spread in the middle east. FWIW, it's a new age saying that "Christ never met a Christian & Buddha never met a Buddhist.". In the case of Buddha the religion moved east from India. Both religions took root & spread far from the region where their first followers appeared, historically.

[@sechrima9998]

@@brynawaldman5790 Christianity was very widespread in the Middle East before Islam started. All of North Africa and the Levant were under Christian rule until then. Christ definitely met Christians, because his apostles went on to call themselves Christians. Jews lived all over the world in the diaspora. That didn't make them any less Jewish. Christians can be found in every corner of the Earth, not just Europe. One of the oldest churches in the world is in Ethiopia.

​​​@@sechrima9998Not talking about small concentrated populations in specific regions & not talking about followings that didn't persist historically. Talking about continents and long-lasting. (And the quote isn't from me. It's just food for thought.). Buddha would have looked like an Indian (from India, not Native American) & the east gave him Asian features. Jesus probably had dark hair & skin, & Europe gave him European coloring. I find it food for thought; no more & no less.

They concurred the land, and the way they showed dominance over people is by capturing their holy sites for themselves. The reason the Israelis are letting them have it these days is because you know how Muslims act when they are angry..... They don't want that....

I am a Christian and strongly agree with Ken. I love Israel and the Jewish people, and stand by Israel in her hour of distress. I feel tremendous pain for the the hostages and every fallen IDF soldiers. I believe that Israel is fighting not only for her survival, but for that of the free world and every democratic nation on the earth. We as Christian owe our very existence to the Jews, but when I say this to people in Roman Catholic circles in my part of the world, they look at me as though I am out of my mind. I live in a democratic country, where we take freedom for granted, and this is a Hindu majority country, yet when I read the constitution and the laws of the land - morality and justice, they all seem to be coming directly from the Torah. Western societies are built on Judeo-Christian values, and it is this value system that makes these countries the destination and choicest places to immigrate to, yet I see westerns seeking to destroy and working against their own foundations.... Why? I am truly confused with what I see on TV.

[@sholay706]

Where are these values on the torah?? These democratic values seems to be more of secular values not so called Judea Christian values

[@kaanjel]

Before I start the video, I have a question that seems to be untalked of. In a video like this, I believe there will be enough Jews, Christians and Muslims to provide me with enough different standpoints to this. So if my understanding is correct: The religion of the Jews came first, following the preachings of Moses, of which the essence of it was then written down, known as the Thora. Then Jesus came, who was a Jew himself, and preached his interpretation of the religion. The ones supporting him are called Christians. Then Mohammed came, and stated himself, that he was the last of the lineage of messengers, following Moses and Jesus. The Thora and Bible being corrupted by mortal men, he provided the true essence of the story: the Quran. If my understanding is correct, then they are all worshipping the same story. Would it be fair and correct then, to call all Christians and Muslims simply 'Jews'? If not, why? And why would this be insulting to Christians or Muslims? Edit: or why would this be insulting to Jews, for that matter?

As Christian we pray in a relationship, as with our creator (Farther). We talk to Him with the spirit in us, any time of the day. Wherever we are. When we ask Jesus to help us making a decision and what way to go, He answer us true the Bible or any other way, like in a dream. Only believing truthfully and growing closer to the Lord, you have this fantastic relationship. Your change totally to a person who do not want to search anything else. You only want to talk about the truth. When you accept Jesus Christ in your heart and the holy spirit come in you. You cannot wait just to learn more from Him and want to know more. You immediately understand the truth of everything. All that you did not know. Now you do. Praise God. 💗🙏

I had a dream. I am staying in a very dangerous country. You never know what will happen each day of your life. Living in fear all the time. When you drive to work and back, do not dare walk the street alone. I started to pray the same pray every morning and night. I pray: " Please God keep you hand under me (and family) your angels around me, and your holy spirit in me, and please Jesus hold me tightly. One night I felt something biting me while sleeping. I was awoken immediately, and I heard a scream of something awful scream going out of the window. Then I felt asleep again. Not long after that, the same night, I had another dream. I dream a man come around me. He was light all over. I saw no wings. He shone pure white, and He just hold me. He held me for a few seconds, and I opened my eyes. And immediately I knew it was Jesus. From then I was never afraid again. I stay alone, and this fear I had disappeared. So much that I am not even afraid of death. And I still pray my same pray. And I thank our God so much. Because He keeps us safe.

Thank you for sharing this conversation. It was very good. I humbly submit that Yeshua’s ancestry traces back to King David. Yeshua was Jewish, is Jewish and will return Jewish. He never started a new religion. His love for his brethren is forever. When Mashiach arrives many will ask, is this your first or second time? His followers were Jewish. It was after his death when his words were intentionally shared with the gentiles. The Rabbi in this video is sharing his understanding and he is an intelligent and good man, whether one agrees with him or not. Until the Mashiach arrives let believers in Yeshua remember we all worship the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We are mishpocha. Shalom 🙏🏻

Thank you for mentioning Falun Dafa. There is a flaw in his thinking. Why is it that all other histories are dismissed? There were and still are other intelligent and caring cultures. He states that treatment of Jews is an indication of the health of a country. I say also treatment of women is also an indicator. They were chosen to show a God of love and to welcome all people to a place of love. They have failed in that regard. GOD LOVES US ALL. WE WERE ALL CREATED IN HIS IMAGE. All of us have issues and God is still in charge and is helping us all according to our capacity to receive HIS Help. There is no chosen race or people. GOD chose all of us because he created us all. GOD (Hashem) is the creator and the first Messiah. When you really understand that there will be no need to argue about a messiah.
