- The career of megastar "Madonna" has produced
as much pornography as pop tracks. Her on-stage performances have included
simulated masturbation, homosexual and S&M scenes, and endlessly lurid
exploitation of the female body. She has also exploited the church. In
her 2006 world tour the Material Girl hung from a cross, crowned with thorns.
In a 1989 video, Madonna dances provocatively in front of burning crosses
and shares an erotic kiss with a Christ figure.
-
- Madonna was raised Roman Catholic. Today, unrepentant
after decades of self-prostitution and corruption, what religion makes
Madonna feel comfortable? She is in love with Judaism.
-
- Since the late nineties, Madonna has been a devotee of
the Kabbalah Centre, worn a red string bracelet and donated millions to
a Kabbalah school for kids. She sparked a Kabbalism trend throughout Hollywood,
stopped performing Friday nights at the start of the Jewish Sabbath, and
helped popularize a thriving kosher restaurant in Manhattan.
-
- Madonna might not embrace Judaism so eagerly had she
realized the true content of its "sacred" literature. The Zohar
is the most important text of Kabbalah. Written in medieval times, it is
supposedly the commentary of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai on the Torah (five
books of Moses). Bar Yochai remains powerfully influential today. A yearly
celebration at his burial site in Meron is the "single largest annual
Jewish gathering of the entire year," drawing 200,000. Such Kabbalists
believe Bar Yochai's Zohar is the "soul of the Bible."
-
- This book describes God as the En Sof (That Which is
Without Limit), as unknowable and inaccessible. Since He is not a personal
Being whose will can be known, Kabbalism is not about ethics. It's about
the status of the Jewish people as the visible, physical manifestation
of God in the world. Evidently, Madonna does not realize that the Zohar
describes her-like all Gentiles-as a beast who must be subdued before proper
Judaic "order" can be restored in the world. (See, The Jewish
Kabbalah: Root of Mideast Violence)
-
- Kabbalistic rabbis are willing to spread the myth that
Kabbalism is so flexible anyone can apply it. Gentile devotees misguidedly
call it their "blueprint for life," and see it as a flexible
eastern-style spirituality. Jerusalem Post calls the Kabbalah Center one
of the two most statistically influential Jewish outreach organizations
(along with Chabad Lubavitcher).
-
- Madonna herself studies the Zohar with a private tutor
and is discipled by Kabbalah Centre head Rabbi Philip Berg. She calls herself
"an ambassador for Judaism." She recently rang in the Jewish
New Year in Jerusalem with Israeli President Shimon Peres. Local reporters
said Madonna gave Peres a copy of The Book of Splendour, a guiding text
of Kabbalah, while Peres presented her with a special volume of the Old
Testament. Madonna was in the "Holy City" for a Kabbalah conference,
along with film (read: porn) star Demi Moore and lesbian celebrity Rosie
O'Donnell.
-
- Don't Israel-supporting evangelicals see the irony? Madonna-who
has defiled every well-known symbol of our faith-is an ambassador of Judaism,
and the president of the Jewish state welcomes her to say this.
-
- Tragically, this is all too appropriate. Israel today
is fittingly symbolized by this apostate, corrupt sex symbol sell-out-as
her government and most of her citizens continue to reject Christ and oppress
their Arab neighbors. The prophet Isaiah foresaw this day. He mourned,
"See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full
of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her- but now murderers!"
Isaiah was not talking about Tehran or even Washington D.C. He was describing
Jerusalem-in our time. John the Revelator also foresaw Jerusalem as the
"mother of harlots" and "Sodom and Egypt" (Rev. 11)
because of Israel's violent disobedience. Like the ancient Kabbalists,
John prophesied that Jerusalem will someday rule the world. But she will
not do it in righteousness or justice. (See, http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/israelempireinmideast.html

-
- Christians' Blind Support
-
- Today, Christian evangelicals are certainly the largest
American support bloc of the Jewish state. They vastly outnumber American
Jews, and many average churchgoers are more committed to Israel than average,
left-leaning Jews. "We have to bless Israel," they say, "if
we want to be blessed by God." This simple and compelling idea drives
millions to support-with both words and millions in cash-an increasingly
powerful spiritual and political whore.
-
- Christians must recognize the profound conflict between
modern Judaism, which believes that a Christ-hating and -rejecting book
(Kabbalah) is the Bible's soul, and their own deepest belief in Jesus Christ
as the true Word and the message of Scripture.
-
- Modern Judaism treats Christ as an imposter and Christians
as idolaters. If the Zohar is truth, then Christians like me are idolaters.
We worship an evil genius who somehow spoke and embodied the most profound
moral truth heard on our planet.
-
- Many Jews in Christ's time, and today, refused to recognize
their true Messiah, Jesus, because they hoped for a powerful political
rebel to "repair the world" by overthrowing Gentiles and exalting
religious Jews to social control. But Christ said, "My kingdom is
not of this world." His kingdom is one of spiritual holiness, repentance
from sin, and self-sacrificing love. The religious Jews, whose kingdom
was very much of this world, couldn't stand His authority and His very
spiritual message. Their religion was built on rituals, corruption of Scripture,
human authority, and even black magic gotten from their 1600-year stay
in Babylon, the occult center of the ancient world. (Watch http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-

-
- Today, the Pharisees' descendents still wait for the
messiah. Madonna reportedly plans to buy a home near Safed, the "world
center of Jewish mysticism," where the Jewish messiah is expected
to arrive.
-
- In Israel today, Christ is referred to as a bastard,
a magician, and a fraud. The Jewish Talmud says he is currently suffering
in hell, writhing in boiling excrement. Religious Jews spit when they pass
Christian churches. (See,
- http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/christiansinisraelrepost.html
- -
- Christians in Israel: An Endangered Species) Evangelicals,
under the leadership of fanatics like John Hagee, fund a nation that continues
to crucify the memory of Christ.
-
- Modern Kabbalist Rav Berg, co-director of the Kabbalah
Centre, says, "As goes Israel so goes the world." He is increasingly
correct. Madonna's Hollywood Kabbalah craze may be just another Tinseltown
trend. But the power of the Israel lobby to drive us to war, the increasing
and unbiblical Zionism of the American church, and the powerful grip of
Jewish elites on American media-these are not fads. They indicate the prophesied
power of world Judaism to eventually dominate Gentiles and fulfill Judaism's
own dark literature of vengeance and supremacism. (See, Coming Jewish 'Utopia'
Ruled by Noahide Laws)
