Social Media’s Antisemitic Underbelly
Twitter and Instagram recently locked rapper Kanye West out of his accounts after he posted, “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going full death [sic] con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.” West is a social media influencer with more than 49 million followers between the two social media platforms.

How incredibly sad that someone, a self proclaimed Christian, with so many followers would lead them down the wrong path. He will answer to His Creator as will we all! Not only does he give Christians a bad name, he adds stumbling blocks to those supposed to be brothers and sisters in Christ, leading to false and evil conclusions. As a person with power in that way, I’m to believe that unless he truly repents to God and apologizes to those he offends, he will NOT be entering the gates of God’s Kingdom! The Lord is very clear about those things along with those that bless Israel will be blessed, those that do not, will not be blessed! He is working for satan now. And will fall with the rest.
explicit or implicit all forms of Replacement Theology are foundationally tainted by anti semitism.
Its worth noting that Famous dispensationist Schofield didn’t go there. His 1909 annotated bible avoids it completely. He could not make sense of a passage about the future Russian invasion of Israel for 2 reasons. Russia then was a Christian nation and the physical Israel nation no longer existed. yet he believed what was written, period. Amillinialism is an exegetical farce of epic proportion. it’s my humble opinion that it’s the core of the great apostasy. Closely connected to extreme ecumenicalism.
Irrational fear of Jewish people is increasing. As an educator I have heard grade 1 to 4 children make antisemitic statements. This from children who have never met a Jewish person. These children are repeating what they hear at home. I clearly see antisemitism increasing in society. Kanye West is only one of many.
I recently read how culture dictates law. It’s alarming to see people who say they are followers of Christ are anti Jewish yet Christ himself was a Jew.
As believers we need to let the Bible form our worldview, not the media or individual icons like West.
