Universalism On Trial - Part 2
by Pastor Mark Downey
Scripture Reading: Ezra 4:1-5
The enemy can only play unfair and dirty. And by “enemy” I mean
those who would have the White race disappear from the earth and the
racial message of the Bible with it. In today’s reading of Scripture
from Ezra, the returning house of Judah, from their 70 year captivity in
Babylon, found adversaries in their ramshackle temple that needed to be
rebuilt, wanting to help them on the reconstruction project; and even
told the chieftains of Israel, “We seek your God, as you do” (uh
huh) and they said they made sacrifices to our God while they were in
Babylon. Well, wasn’t that nice of them? But, our ancestors told these
racial aliens that they had no business with them or their God and
they’d rebuild the temple on their own. Oh my, this is beginning to
sound racist.
It didn’t take very long for these aliens to show
their true colors by hindering our ancestors by first, trying to make
an unholy alliance with them and secondly, more devious tactics of
withholding supplies, frustrating construction and making false
accusations to POG (the Persian Occupational Government). Israel was
being hounded and nagged to mix with another race; to go the way of
universalism, but they would have none of it.
Maybe they were
acutely aware of what happened to their brethren in the northern house
of Israel, just a couple hundred years prior when they went into
captivity and the Assyrians repopulated Samaria with racial aliens who, “Feared not the Lord; therefore the Lord sent lions among them, which killed some of them.”
Wouldn’t it be ironic if there were some real lions in Detroit?
