There is an old proverb, of uncertain attribution. Those whom the Gods would destroy they would fist make mad. In the passage from Job you get this expounded: the rightful king is enslaved, the elders ignored, the wise disavowed, and the nation becomes a wasteland.

What the Pagans saw as fate the elect see as the sovereign work of God. In Christ our final allegiance is not to our tribe and nation, but to Christ. This allows tribes to ally, to form Christendom, to defeat the Turk, and to bring the gospel to all nations.

Once, according to the flesh and to fulfill His Father’s will, Jesus was a Jew. He has fulfilled that prophecy, died, and rose from the dead returning to His true and eternal self, the only begotten Son of God. Anyone who is in Christ has also died, and now is alive for true and a new thing. Not the old thing.

It’s commonly taught that we Christians are the “New Jews” but that is only true in the sense that Jew is a metaphor for God’s People. In fact it was never the case that genetics was the basis of who was a member of God’s People. Abraham, a Chaldean, was chosen by God, adopted, and was sealed by circumcision. The promise that was given to him was given under the law by which I mean the order of, and according to, the material world of which the law God gave Moses corresponds.

What of the Jews? There is but one thing to say. If they do not find Christ, they will die in their sins. The means within the law of reconciliation with the Almighty involve blood sacrifice and a temple the Muslims are squatting on.

With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding.
If he tears down, none can rebuild; if he shuts a man in, none can open.
If he withholds the waters, they dry up; if he sends them out, they overwhelm the land.
With him are strength and sound wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are his.
He leads counselors away stripped, and judges he makes fools.
He looses the bonds of kings and binds a waistcloth on their hips.
He leads priests away stripped and overthrows the mighty.

He deprives of speech those who are trusted and takes away the discernment of the elders.
He pours contempt on princes and loosens the belt of the strong.
He uncovers the deeps out of darkness and brings deep darkness to light.
He makes nations great, and he destroys them; he enlarges nations, and leads them away.
He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth and makes them wander in a trackless waste.
They grope in the dark without light, and he makes them stagger like a drunken man.

(Job 12:13-25 ESV)

So he said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” So the Jews said, “Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.” So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning. I have much to say about you and much to judge, but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.” They did not understand that he had been speaking to them about the Father. So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me. And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.” As he was saying these things, many believed in him.

(John 8:21-30 ESV)

An aside. We are placed in nations and tribes, and this is good. It is in Christ that we are allied: that Jew and Greek are one. We should not forget the power of Galations: for the Greeks had invaded the temple and placed an idol within, which led to Judas Maccabeus rebelling. To Hellenise was, to the Jew, to bastardize, to deny your faith and fathers. The Jews were a peculiar people, agreed. But all nations have those who God has chosen within.

She engages in more deceptive Talmudry when she claims that “Christianity explicitly proclaims the triumph of universalism over ethnic tribalism”. That is an outright lie, which is one reason why she does not cite the full context of Galatians 3:28:

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

It’s a bit ironic that one who glories in her ethnic identity as one of the Chosen People would appeal to the core of replacement theology, but the relevant point here is that this verse represents the triumph of Jesus Christ over sin and salvation through him, not “the triumph of universalism over ethnic tribalism”. In fact, the Bible not only makes it clear that the nations are established by God, but that they have different spirits that rule over them and that those nations will persist to the end.

The material “triumph of universalism” is a Satanic concept, it is neo-Babelism, and it is the religion behind the ideological globalism that the Alt Right, both religious and irreligious, opposes.

It is indeed right and good to love the Jews and Pray for them. It is also legitimate to love the Russians and Chinese and Germans and Japanese and Hutu and Tutsi. We are called to nations, and each should have their place.

But those who would unite what should be apart impoverish us. I’m a Kiwi: there is more to my nation than a set for Lord of the Rings. I don’t want to travel from one identical mall to another. I like Hong Kong, because it is different: so is Venice, so is Vienna, and so is Cincinnati or San Antonio. This variety is a good thing. In Christ we can priase together, but we are individuals.

I’d argue, as Lewis did, that our sanctification makes us more different, not more bland. We become more confident: teh good of our nation and the virtues we have become grater, and our vices and the evil we have done as a nation or individually are washed away.

We do not look back to the grievance of the past century, but ahead.

So, I want a strong Israel full of Sabras, who drive me nuts. I want vibrant balck communities, as we had under the Jim Crow Laws, where husbands and wives araised civiliase and educated children, and the beauty of the gospel call rang to the white bread community next door. I want the Amish to be AMish, the Texans teams, and the Mexicans or Colombians to be themselves.

ANd the Chinese ond Korean faithful also to be themselves. There is nothing wrong with any of these things. We can share the food, the songs, and we can praise God together.

But we should not accede to the convergence. When the cultures are told to unify there is Babel, and God destroyed the first globalization. He will destoy it in this generation. But first the will be made ridiculous. They will be come a by word. The jokes will get deeper and nastier.

For they have rejected salvation and Christ. God will reject them.
