How is blessing and cursing the Jews affects you? Many don’t think about this simple question, but believe that your answer to it, whether through your words and actions, will have real life effects on you, sooner or later.

When it comes to hate and prejudice, few groups have been the target of such unfair and baseless discrimination as the Jewish people.

Despite their contribution to human civilization in art, music, philosophy, science, and many other fields, Jewish people have been subjected to centuries of violence and persecution.

But did you ever stop to consider that when you hate the Jewish people, you are also hating “God” (Yahweh)?

It may sound like a radical statement to you, but the truth is that Yahweh has made it clear in many places in the Bible that those who bless the Jews will be blessed, and those who curse them will be cursed.

For instance, in Genesis 12:3, Yahweh says to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

On the above statement, Yahweh is speaking directly to Abraham, the father of the Jewish people, and giving him a promise of blessing on behalf of his descendants.

Moreover, in Psalm 122:6, Yahweh commands His people to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.”

The Bible verse above indicates that those who have love for Jerusalem, or in other words, the Jewish people, will prosper.

Further, in Zechariah 2:8, Yahweh refers to the Jewish people as “the apple of His eye,” which is a metaphor for something very precious and beloved.

If we consider the Jewish people as the “apple of His eye,” then hating them is equivalent to attacking what Yahweh holds most dear.

Thus, embracing anti-Semitism or discrimination towards the Jewish people is not only a grave moral error, but also a spiritual one.

Yes, any kind of hate for the Jews and discriminating against them goes against Yahweh’s plan for humanity and implies that you are rejecting His will and His Word (Bible).

It is important for us to understand that Yahweh’s love and concern for the Jewish people is still prevalent today.

Therefore, Christians and all people of faith should stand up against any form of prejudice or discrimination directed towards Jewish people.

As individuals, we may not be able to change the world overnight, but if each of us does our part to refuse to hate the Jewish people, we can create a wave of positive change.

By supporting and loving the Jewish people, we are not only fulfilling Yahweh’s commandments but also sowing seeds of goodwill that may inspire others to do the same.

In conclusion, let us remember that the Jews occupy a very unique and significant place in Yahweh’s heart, and our responses to them will never go unnoticed by Him.

May we strive to bless the Jewish people and their communities with the same love, kindness, and respect that we hope to receive from others.

I have Jewish blood from my biblical ancestors. I am not afraid of being one. I am not ashamed of it. I’m not going to apologize for it. I’m loving it.

So, how you behave and whatever you feel about the Jews, just know that we’ll like you as a person and we’ll love you even more as a human being.

Yes, there is real life impact, cause, or change that’ll happen for blessing or cursing the Jewish people, as hating the Jews is the same as hating Yahweh!
