BIBLICAL VERSE READ DURING THE WEEK OF THE IRAN WAR

On the Sabbath during the Israel-Iran war in June 2025, a relevant Biblical verse was read, highlighting themes of divine support and enmity towards those who oppose Israel. Biblical commentary suggests that hatred towards Israel equates to hatred towards God. Prophetic warnings of consequences for adversaries of Jerusalem are included.

An Apropos Biblical Verse Read On The Sabbath Of The Week The Israel Iran War

Every Sabbath Jews read a portion of the first five books of the Bible.

These Sabbath readings are based on the Jewish calendar and are scheduled years in advance.

In June 2025, on the Sabbath of the week that the Israel Iran war began, a very apropos Biblical verse was read:

“וַיְהִ֛י בִּנְסֹ֥עַ הָאָרֹ֖ן וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֑ה קוּמָ֣ה ׀ יְהֹוָ֗ה וְיָפֻ֙צוּ֙ אֹֽיְבֶ֔יךָ וְיָנֻ֥סוּ מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃

Rise up Hashem, and let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee before You. “

(Numbers 10:35)

“Those who hate you” –

“These are those who hate Israel, because whoever hates Israel, hates Him who spoke and the world came into existence, as it is said (Psalm 83:3,4) those that hate You have lifted up their head, and who are these? Those who against your nation they plot deviously”.

(Biblical commentary of Rashi, 1100 C.E.)

Thousands of years ago, the Jewish prophets predicted the horrific end of the jihadi jackals attacking Israel:

“As for those peoples that warred against Jerusalem, GOD will smite them with this plague: Their flesh shall rot away while they stand on their feet; their eyes shall rot away in their sockets; and their tongues shall rot away in their mouths.”
(Zechariah 14:12)

Barbarians at the Gates of Civilization

The Red-Green Axis

The barbaric attacks on Israel by Hamas Nazis on October 7, 2023, and the worldwide eruption of violent anti-Jewish attacks are campaigns in a worldwide war the so-called “Red-Green Axis” is conducting to destroy Israel and dismantle the foundations of Western civilization.

The term “Red-Green Axis” refers to an unholy alliance of Marxists, Leftists, totalitarian regimes (such as Iran, China, and Russia) and Islamic jihadists who have found common cause in waging war and terrorism to destroy Israel and also destroy Western civilization.

While Marxists/Leftist values may seem to be incompatible with Islamist values, both these groups seek to impose a global totalitarian system on the world. In that world Biblical (IE Torah) values and Israel will be eliminated from the world and replaced with totalitarian group-think, tyranny, and barbarism. In particular, the Red-Green Axis seeks to eliminate from the world Biblical principles such as ethical monotheism, Man being created in the image of God, and Man’s obligation to serve God.

The spiritual roots of Western civilization, both for Jew and Christian, originate in the Land of Israel. Values of ethical monotheism, imported from the Jewish Bible in a distorted manner, established the spiritual foundations of the West. A primary goal of the Red-Green Axis is the destruction of the West’s spiritual foundations, which requires destruction of any Jewish state in the Land of Israel. Thus, genocide of Israel and the Jews are the poisonous fuel that powers the Red-Green Axis.

Western civilization’s secular Enlightenment based philosophies have reached a dead end due to elimination of belief in a Creator and belief in Man’s obligation to serve the Creator, and the replacement of the Creator’s wisdom with Man’s flawed “reason”. The collapse of religion and values has created a vacuum being filled in by false, atheist and race based doctrines including “Palestinianism”, Marxism, Identity Politics, “progressivism”, BLM, DEI, etc.

The ethical monotheism espoused in the Jewish Bible demands that Mankind accept a worldwide value system where all people worship one God who prohibits all barbarism, cruelty, murder, robbery, idolatry, immorality etc. This means that non-Jews must be righteous, but they are not required to convert to Judaism. The God of the Jewish Bible also demands that Mankind practice charity, kindness, and honesty, and promote legal justice. All these values are anathema to the Red-Green Axis who seek to create a global totalitarian political regime designed to crush Man’s spirit.

A war to dismantle Israel and Western Civilization is being conducted on many fronts. These fronts include massive terror campaigns against Israeli citizens, rioting mobs and terrorist attacks disrupting Western societies, elimination of the US Constitution, fake criminal charges and Soviet style show trials for opponents of the Democrat Party, and destruction of the heterosexual family and destruction of gender identities.

Attacks on Jews Signal a Barbarian War on Civilization

The Jewish people and their state are the proverbial “canary in the coal mine” of civilization. The Jewish people have been plucked at by the bloodthirsty vultures and jackals of all time but miraculously they have survived with the help of God. When innocent Jews are being attacked in the streets of Western cities simply because they are Jews, that is a clear sign of a barbarian war against civilization.

“Progressive” Western countries and the Democrat Party in the US have implemented suicidal immigration policies that intentionally welcome in, through non-existent borders, large numbers of terrorists and criminals from around the world. Violent mobs of these Middle Eastern “migrants” (doublespeak for illegal aliens) have entered Western countries and are aggressively cheering and supporting (along with their “progressive” allies) unspeakable atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists in Israel. Jihadists in the US openly threaten the Jews with genocide without ever being charged with any crimes or deported. This insane situation threatens the end of civilization as we have known it.

The New Secularist Religion of “Palestinianism”

The Red-Green Axis has aggressively indoctrinated their brainwashed supporters with a barbaric, secularist “religion” that I will call “Palestinianism”. This invented “religion” promotes virulent, racist hatred of all Jews and seeks a violent replacement of the Jewish state with a mythological Arab Palestinian state that never existed in history. We are seeing a rerun of history where the Red-Green Axis, like the ancient Romans, seeks to replace the Jews and the Land of Israel with an imaginary country called “Palestine”.

“Palestinianism” promotes a secularist jihad against Israel and the Jews under a fake Leftist banner of “justice for Palestine”. Leftists protesters in the streets, mindlessly chanting “from the river to the sea…”, are asked which river and which sea? These protesters are often unable to answer. Truth and facts no longer matter, the only thing that matters is joining the Leftist collective, abandoning all reason, and shouting the correct leftist slogans.

To advance their genocidal jihad against Israel and the Jews, Islamic jihadists exploit the phony two state “peace plans” conjured up by European and Democrat politicians. These “peace plans” have no chance of producing any real peace as Islamic religious doctrine prohibits making true peace with any “infidel” state. The goal of these fraudulent “peace plans” can only be to force Israel to surrender, prevent defeat and disarming of Hamas, and allow Hamas to reconstitute its terrorist state.

American Jews have an obligation to oppose creation of an Arab terror state in the Land of Israel. The continued unreserved support for the Democrat Party by many Jews is suicidal. Jewish support for “progressive” politicians who are allied with Hamas or any jihadists must end. An America ruled by a one party Democrat regime allied with jihadists will become unlivable for Jews.

Barbarians at the Gates of Civilization

The Hamas genocidal war that started October 7, 2023 has brought the world to a cross-roads. The world must now choose between either a civilization based on Biblical (IE Torah) values, or else the totalitarian globalist barbarism of the Red-Green Axis.

Taking the road of Biblical values means embracing good instead of evil and truth instead of falsehood, civilization instead of barbarism. The road of Biblical values requires promoting ethical monotheism, heterosexual families, and limited government, and accepting Israel instead of a fake Palestine, while rejecting the Red-Green Axis and its Marxism, jihadism, terrorism, and totalitarianism.

The road of the Red-Green Axis will mean supporting Hamas, jihad, terrorism, Marxism, and a totalitarian globalist government that will crush Man’s spirit while forcing Man to worship false gods. Opponents and “infidels” against the Red-Green Axis will be persecuted, jailed, and murdered. The road of the Red-Green Axis can only lead to enormous suffering and injustice in the world.

Only the road of Biblical (IE Torah) values will maintain civilization as we have known it.

BAALESTINE: FALSE GOD OF THE WOKE LEFT

Baalestine Worship: A Pagan Replacement Theology

“Baalestine” is a term I created for the false god of the woke Left that represents a modern form of the ancient pagan god “Baal” worshiped by many idolatrous Jews and non-Jews. The modern “Red-Green Axis” (the insidious global alliance of woke Marxists, Leftists, Democrats, and Islamic jihadists) energizes and unites its indoctrinated group-think followers through the idolatrous worship of the false god “Baalestine”. “Baalestine” worship serves as a pagan replacement theology and pseudo-spiritual belief system for the adherents of the Red-Green Axis who have rejected any traditional Biblical morality.

Leftists and Islamists may seem to have little in common, but they are united by a mutual goal of the destruction of Western civilization and the destruction of Israel, and destruction of the West’s spiritual foundations. This goal demands the replacement of Israel with a mythological Arab country called Palestine, and the replacement of Biblical religion with a pagan, barbarian religion of “Baalestine” worship.

We are seeing an unraveling of Western civilization itself as Western governments refuse to suppress the violent rioting and insurrections of the “Baalestine” worshipers in the streets of Western cities. For the worshipers of “Baalestine”, the only thing that matters is abandoning all truth, reason, and morality while joining the Leftist collective in their worship of “Baalestine”. These rioting barbarians are pathetically lacking any constructive purpose to their miserable existences, they find their pathetic meaning in life by joining the mindless and destructive Leftist group-think collective of “Baalestine” worship.

The spiritual foundations of the West were heavily influenced by values of ethical monotheism imported in a distorted manner from the Jewish Bible. The Jewish Bible instructs Mankind to accept a global value system, based on the ethical monotheism of the Bible, where all people worship one God who prohibits all barbarism, cruelty, murder, robbery, idolatry, immorality etc. The God of the Jewish Bible also demands that Mankind practice charity, kindness, and honesty, and promote legal justice.

Biblical morality is abhorrent to the barbarian worshipers of “Baalestine” who seek to unleash, glorify, and legitimize the most barbaric impulses of Man, such as the beheading of Jewish babies by the Hamas barbarians. The Red-Green Axis seeks to create a global totalitarian political regime that will crush Man’s spirit and eliminate any Biblical values.

The Mythological State of Palestine

Worship of the false god “Baalestine” requires uncritical acceptance of a mythological history and ideology that is designed to eradicate authentic history, eradicate any belief in the Jewish Bible, and eliminate the Jewish state and any Jewish connection with the Land of Israel. Central to the pagan belief system of the Red-Green Axis is a fervent faith in an imaginary country called “Palestine”, and a fervent faith in an imaginary nation called “Palestinians”.

Fanatical “Baalestine” worshipers are recruited by the Left and brainwashed to believe they are social justice warriors seeking justice for a non-existent Palestinian people via a violent replacement of the Jewish state with a mythological Arab Palestinian state that never existed in history.

Leftist and Islamic propaganda machines both converge in their anti-Jewish, anti-Biblical historical revisionism. Worshipers of the false god “Baalestine” live in a bizarre alternate reality created by the virulently anti-Jewish Islamo-Nazi-Leftist propagandists. This revisionism includes the alleged existence from ancient times of a thriving Arab country Palestine that was allegedly conquered and destroyed by modern Israel and the alleged “genocide” of a non-existent Palestinian people. There is a vehement denial of the existence of any Jewish temple or any Jewish state that existed in ancient times in the Land of Israel.

The myth of “Palestine” was invented by ancient Roman Jew-haters who attempted to eliminate any connection between the Jews and the Land of Israel. We are seeing a rerun of history where the Red-Green Axis, like the ancient Romans, seeks to replace the Jews and the Land of Israel with an imaginary country called “Palestine”.

The myth of “Palestine” is utterly incompatible with Judaism, nor is it ever mentioned in the Jewish Bible. This myth has no connection to Arab history, nor is “Palestine” ever mentioned in the Islamic Quran. The Arabic language does not even contain the letter “P”! Belief in a mythical “Palestine” is designed to nullify any truth and meaning to the Jewish Bible.

Barbaric Rituals of the “Baalestine” Worshipers Destroy Civilization

The false religion of “Baalestine” worship attracts violent, psychotic individuals who are provided a mission and an outlet for their destructive impulses while imagining they are “social justice warriors”. “Baalestine” worshipers are indoctrinated with a psychotic hatred of Western civilization, the Jews, and Israel. Genocide of Israel and the Jews, and eradication of the Jewish Bible, are the poisonous fuel that powers the Red-Green Axis.

The worship “rituals” of “Baalestine” include violent, anti-Semitic mobs rioting in the streets of Western cities, physically attacking and threatening Jews with genocide, and committing massive vandalism and destruction. Radical Islamic imams in the US threaten Jews with genocide while mobs of violent jihadists and leftists in the streets of the US, many of them illegal aliens, burn American flags, hoist up terrorist flags, and occupy and deface public property.

A bizarre alliance of Islamists and Marxists aggressively cheer and support unspeakable atrocities committed against Jews by Hamas terrorists. “Baalestine” worshipers mindlessly chant genocidal slogans against Israel and the Jews such as “from the river to the sea…”, even though most of them seem to have no idea as to the river and sea being referred to.

It seems that the barbarian worshipers of “Baalestine” are usually never prosecuted by Leftist governments (especially US Democrat controlled cities) that turn a blind eye to anti-Semitic rioting, destruction of property, violent attacks on law-abiding citizens, and mayhem in the streets.

Survival of Western Civilization is at Stake Here

President Trump recently accused Chuck Schumer of being a “Palestinian”. This statement actually has some profound implications. Those Jews and non-Jews who identify with “Palestine”, even if they are not ethnically Arabs, have converted to the false religion of “Baalestine” worship. These non-Arab “Palestinians” have abandoned their birth identities and birth religions to adopt a pagan identity and pagan religion based on “Baalestine” worship. People born Jewish who identify with “Palestine” have abandoned their Jewish identity and Jewish religion.

The survival of Western civilization hangs in the balance now. The only hope for the continued survival of Western civilization lies in a spiritual and political revival based on a restoration of Biblical values, and an absolute rejection of “Baalestine” beliefs and worship. All politicians serving the Red-Green axis must be aggressively voted out of office. Marxist and Islamist insurrectionists must be subjected to full law enforcement actions, including deportation of non-citizens engaging in pro-Hamas and/or insurrectionist activities. All decent people who value the continued existence of civilization must renounce and uncompromisingly oppose the replacement theology and activism of “Baalestine” worship.

Biblical Values Essential for World Peace

The acceptance of biblical values is essential for creation of world peace. Belief in false gods and false prophets causes devastating damage to humanity in a number of ways. False gods and false prophets completely destroy the acceptance of a Biblical morality system and completely destroy any unity among mankind.

Each false god is served by false prophets who make conflicting demands on mankind which only serve the interests of the false prophets, resulting in perpetual conflicts, warfare, and immorality among mankind.

The damage to Mankind by false gods occurs whether it is caused by an ancient false god such as Baal, or if it is caused by a more recent false god such as deified Communist dictators. Only the Torah of Israel has the necessary wisdom and truth to save mankind from its own self-destruction. The G-d of Israel is returning the Jews to the Land of Israel to fulfill their role as spiritual teachers of mankind, as the world’s false ideologies collapse before our eyes. We can pray and hope that new prophets will arise in the Land of Israel to lead mankind out of its present abyss.

“For out of Zion shall the Torah come forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.”1

For the West to survive without conquest by Islam, socialism, or communism, it must seek its purpose and meaning from embracing biblical values.

Instead of atheist scientism and “progressivism”, a return to monotheistic science based on Intelligent Design and metaphysics would serve the world’s scientific and spiritual needs much better.

Totalitarian movements and governments such as Nazism and Communism seek to enslave Man to their evil agendas and also to suppress religious observances in Man. In a totalitarian regime, Man only serves the purpose of the regime, and cannot serve any purposes for the Creator. Man must serve the Creator, and NOT serve any of the Creations. Traditional Judaism (excluding the liberal religion of the Reform movement) is the only spiritual force that can oppose and expose the falsehoods of both “progressivism” and Islam.

Growing numbers of citizens in the West seem to be attracted to Islam. This may be due in large part to Christianity’s abandonment of much of Biblical Law, and its obsessive focus on an alleged messiah man-god and on being “saved”. This has resulted in a failure to regulate and satisfy Man’s spiritual needs, and has left a spiritual vacuum for Islam to flourish.

Also, the failure of secular “democracy” to offer spiritual solace and a meaningful purpose to life has also left a spiritual vacuum that Islam can attempt to fill.

“Progressivism” with its false messiahs such as Obama, the various false Jewish “messiahs” throughout history, Islam with its false god Allah, Communism and Nazism with their false psychopaths Stalin and Hitler Y”S, have all failed miserably and left the world in shambles.

1 Isaiah 2:3

Ethical Monotheism-A Great Advancement

The Jewish Bible’s “radical” and “innovative” concepts of ethical monotheism caused a great advancement in human civilization. An advancement from the cruel and primitive pagan barbarism that prevailed in the ancient world to societies that recognized the uniqueness and dignity of Man as a being created in the Image of his Creator.

The concept of ethical monotheism taught in the Jewish Bible promoted a universal morality, a morality that recognized objective standards of good and evil within the world. Man became aware of the possibility of an ultimate purpose and meaning to human existence, as opposed to humans simply seeking gratification of their physical senses in this world. Man also became aware of the possibility of non-physical human existence after death, and the possibility of the judgment of Man for his actions in this world, when he reaches the next world.

The cruel, depraved behaviors of the ancient false gods encouraged and legitimized such behavior among humans who worshiped such false gods. The Bible’s denial of the ancient false gods who engaged in the most depraved aspects of human behavior, and the replacement of those false gods with one incorporeal, ethical God for all of mankind, was a great step forward for mankind.

Walking God’s Path

Walking God’s Path Means Being Guided by Biblical Ethical Monotheism

“And you shall walk in His ways.”1

America is in a dangerous state of decline now due to its abandonment of walking God’s path that brought America great blessings in the past. America can restore its blessings from God by “walking God’s path” and by rejecting the Way of Sodom, i.e., the Democrat Party and the Woke “progressives”.

“Walking God’s Path” refers to all those persons, both Jews and non-Jews, who adhere to ancient Biblical principles of ethical monotheism and who reject Marxism, Islamism, atheism, globalism, and totalitarianism, IE the ideologies of the “Red-Green Axis”. These corrupt ideologies radically conflict with Biblical principles.

Ancient Biblical principles require that Mankind should adhere to basic principles of “ethical monotheism”. These principles require us to recognize one Creator of the Universe and adhere to the ethical laws of the Creator, including recognizing Man as a unique being created “in the image of God”.

Adhering to Biblical principles does not require that any non-Jews convert to Judaism.

This one God prohibits all idolatry, cruelty, murder, barbarism, robbery, homosexuality, adultery, etc. The one God demands that society practice charity, kindness, and honesty, and that both rich and poor may obtain legal justice for their legitimate grievances.

“Walking God’s path” requires that we recognize Man’s creation in the image of his Creator. Then, as emphasized by the Jewish prophet Micah, “Walking with God” refers to Man serving and emulating God by doing justice, doing acts of kindness, and walking humbly with God.

All those who recognize Man as being created in the image of his Creator must embrace and assert their unique and precious identity, while also rejecting the corrupt ideologies promoting the descent of Man into an animal.

Noah Walked With God

In various places in the Jewish Bible, we are taught that righteous persons (such as Noah) “walked with God”, and that Man is also urged to “walk with God”.

“He (Noah) walked in G’d’s way trying to be helpful to others, and to instruct and if necessary to rebuke them, as our sages pointed out.”2

The Biblical prophet Noah lived in an extremely corrupt and immoral generation, a generation where “God saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth”3, a generation that God decided must be destroyed in a flood.

In the ancient rabbinic Biblical commentary “Midrash Rabbah”, it explains that the sin that finally caused God to decide to destroy the world via a flood at the time of Noah was the formation of marriage contracts between two males, and between men and animals.

We see in present Western civilization similar violations of God’s will, where homosexual marriages are being legally recognized and promoted by aggressive leftist activists and their accomplices in the Western media.

Noah was perhaps criticized by some rabbinic authorities for not aggressively trying to influence his corrupt generation to turn from their evil ways. However, despite the great evil that Noah observed around him, Noah resisted participating in the evil that was prevalent in his generation. Instead, Noah maintained his righteousness and was thus chosen by God to be saved from the approaching flood.

In our generation, we may not be able to reach the level of Abraham, but we can and must at least emulate Noah and walk in God’s path, despite the wickedness we see all around us.

1 Deuteronomy 28:9.

2 Sforno (rabbinic commentary) on Genesis 6:9

3 Genesis 6:5

Biblical Unity of All Mankind

Chapter 10 of the Biblical book of Genesis contains genealogical lists of the descendants of the Biblical prophet Noah. The book of Genesis lists seventy nations that descended from Noah’s sons after the Biblical flood, ie Shem, Yefet, and Ham. These seventy nations represent many geographic, ethnic, linguistic, and racial groups. According to Jewish tradition, all of present mankind is descended from Noah and his family, even if not all of the original seventy nations listed in the Bible are still identifiable today.

There is profound significance to the enumeration of all the nations of mankind in the Bible. The listing of seventy nations includes Eber, who was ancestor of the ancient Hebrews, but the Biblical list does not even mention the Jews who descended from Eber. The Bible is emphasizing that the God of the Bible is the God of all the nations and He has a relationship with all the nations of the world. The God of the Jewish Bible is not just the God of the Jews, and He is concerned with the well-being and destiny of all of mankind.

In Chapter 11 of the Book of Genesis, it explains how God scattered mankind all over the face of the Earth in response to men committing a sin by building the Tower of Babel. There is a clear lesson from this. The Jewish Bible does not teach that all nations should dissolve their identities, or become Jews, or convert to Judaism. Each nation should maintain its distinctive language, national identities, and culture.

The Jewish Bible does seek a united world and is not obligating non-Jews to convert to Judaism. However, that world unity must be based on recognition of one God as the Creator of the world, and a universal acceptance of His Biblical commandments that define a moral code for all mankind.
