Jew-hatred points to the reality of Isaiah’s Suffering Servant

An account I follow on 𝕏 recently posted the following tweet, complaining about Jew hatred. 

“The interesting thing about Jew haters is that they don't hate Jews for something, they hate them for everything: capitalism and communism, fanaticism and atheism, nationalism and globalism, insularity and meddling. They pin literally all the sins of the world on Jews.”

The tweet struck me, because, without realizing it, the author exposes a deep truth about the calling of Israel by God. It is a calling that Israel has failed to live out perfectly, as the prophets tell us, but it is a calling that Israel still has, as the Apostle Paul writes in Romans 11:29, “For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” 

However, God still wanted someone who could reveal Him and His character to the world. That individual, by clearly and perfectly demonstrating the character of God to the world, would draw the hatred of the world. John writes about this in his gospel, “And this is the judgment: that the Light has come into the world, and people love the darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.” 

The Suffering Servant who takes upon himself “literally all the sins of the world.” 

This short post to 𝕏 reveals the truth about the calling of Israel, who was called to reveal God to the world. In Isaiah’s Servant Songs, the individual that finally takes on this task successfully is referred to as the Suffering Servant. 

The Servant Songs start in Isaiah 42, and progress to the end of the book, but reach their climax in 52:13-53:12. As Isaiah describes the servant of YHVH, he makes it clear that Israel has failed to be the servant of YHVH. Israel was supposed to be that servant, however, the nation was not faithful to God or His calling upon them. Therefore, God appointed another servant. It is already clear in chapter 49, that this servant cannot be Israel, because the role of the servant is to redeem Israel and to be the covenant for Israel. 

While the Jew haters desire to “pin literally all the sins of the world on Jews,” Isaiah shows that this is a perversion of the truth. 

God has pinned “literally all the sins of the world” on one Jew, the Suffering Servant, whose death and resurrection becomes the means for Israel, and all the nations, to be reconciled to God. 

But the hatred for Israel is not just a perversion of this fact, it is perversion with a purpose; a purpose we are already starting to see within the so-called “Woke Right,” even among those who call themselves followers of this One Jew. 

Because the one behind the perversion ultimately aims to turn hatred of the Jews, into hatred of The Jew who is the Suffering Servant. 

The Enemy has been involved in a millennia-long war to pervert the truths of God, using them to turn the very people God loves against Him. 

In the Garden, the Enemy perverted the creation intent of humanity, which was to be Image-bearers (Get. 1:26-27), telling the woman the lie that God didn’t want humankind to be like Him. That he was withholding good from mankind. 

In a similar way, the truth, that God chose Israel to bring the perfect standards of God to the world, in order to demonstrate the problem of a rebellious, separating, sinful heart — which is common to all humanity — and the need for God to deal with that sin, has been perverted. The status of Israel as the Chosen people is twisted, as if that choice is a wicked, conniving thing, desiring evil and domination of the whole world. In fact, it is the Enemy who desire such things, and the Word of God, entrusted to the Jews first, is what brings freedom and hope. 

The Enemy also attempts to pervert the continued calling of the people of Israel into a wicked thing. Because God promised to both bless Abraham and his descendants and make them a blessing to the world, even God’s judgment of Israel, by sending the nation into exile has resulted in blessing to the world. The Jewish people have often sparked innovation and development in every area of the world in which they have been dispersed. 

The Enemy works to pervert the call into a curse. He tries to convince the world that the ones chosen to be a blessing to the world are the bringers of curse, and he tries to turn the people of Israel against their Savior, the one who literally died in their place. 

But the Enemy says the chosen status is a matter of arrogance and supremacy, instead of task and role. By turning the Jewish faith of the original disciples into a thing to be rejected, he attempts to turn promised blessing to the nations (Isaiah 2:1-4) into hatred and separation. 

But, just as Joseph’s brothers turned against him, only to discover that God used their rejection and oppression of Joseph to save the people of Israel, so the rejection of the Messiah Son of Joseph, will end in blessing and salvation for the people of Israel, and the whole world. 

One day, the people of Israel will understand the truth of Isaiah 63:9, both for the past, and what will soon be past: 

“In all their affliction He was afflicted,

    and the Angel of His presence saved them;

in His love and in His pity He redeemed them;

    He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.” 

And they will finally understand how He was afflicted and pierced for them. 

“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.” (Zechariah 12:110) 

On that day, the descendants of all the Jew haters will come to Zion, where the Anointed King will reign (Psalm 2), and they will understand that Biblical Zionism represents the healing of the whole world (Revelation 22:1-2), the reconciliation of all things (Colossians 1:20). 

Therefore, as Biblical Zionists, we do not believe in the supremacy of the Jewish people, or even their inherent righteousness. No, we proclaim the unsurpassable supremacy of God’s goodness and faithfulness to keep His promises, both to Israel and to the world. 

Biblical Zionism is faith in the faithfulness of God.
