Sharpen the Sickle

Democracy Eats its Children

I sometimes watch Alan Dershowitz on Youtube. For anyone who doesn’t know who he is, he was a law professor at Harvard, and unlike many professors, he has practiced law. He has defended some unpopular people, including Claus von Bulow, Jeffrey Epstein, and O.J. Simpson. People think he’s a bona fide genius. I haven’t seen any evidence of that, but he is at least very sharp.

Dershowitz, as should be obvious from his last name, profession, and accomplishments, is Jewish, and he is an ardent supporter of Israel. That last part is just common sense. Israel is every Jew’s lifeboat.

He has been a liberal all his life, and he claims he’s a liberal now, but he’s fooling himself. He refuses to use fake pronouns. He uses the term “woke” derisively. He criticizes “leftists” constantly, as though there were a credible distinction between “liberal” and “leftist.” I guess he’s saying he’s one of the “good ones.”

He has taken a step a lot of people have taken on their way to admitting they’re conservative: he has left the Democratic Party.

Dershowitz is 86, so he does not have the problem a big percentage of our population has. He knows America has not always been what we see now. He has witnessed an enormous change, and it dismays him. Unfortunately, young people are very uninformed these days. If no one says it on Tiktok, they don’t know it. I recall shocking a millennial by telling him Caitlyn Jenner was a male Olympic Decathlon winner whose picture used to be on Wheaties boxes.

Dershowitz is not happy about the antisemitism tsunami that has inundated the world. He is not happy that our academic institutions, which were havens for Jews for a few decades, are now hotbeds of Haman’s mental illness. He isn’t pleased that so many people attended an anti-Israel protest in Sydney, they covered the bridge that spans the harbor. He is disturbed to see the press repeat Hamas propaganda, uninvestigated, as though it were truth handed down from God.

I would guess that the thing that upsets him most is seeing the Democratic Party turn antisemitic. This was obvious to many people a couple of decades ago. Dershowitz has only noticed it recently, and that after having his nose rubbed in it repeatedly.

I don’t think anyone who saw the famous voice vote at the 2012 Democratic National Convention has an excuse for not realizing the Democrats were against Jews as well as God himself. Far-left eccentric Antonio Villaraigosa led the vote, and the purpose was to have “God” and “Jerusalem” included in the platform.

Villaraigosa and his masters and mistresses expected the vote to be a formality. They thought they would get an overwhelming “yes,” and that’s why they permitted the vote to be televised instead of doing it in private.

The crowed voted “no” very clearly, three times, and boos filled the venue. Villaraigosa understood what had happened, and he was caught flatfooted. He looked around to see if his handlers had any orders for him, to get him out of an awkward position. Then he lied, declaring the ayes had won.

You can’t be for God and also support tearing apart living babies. You can’t be for God and support fornication and perversion. You can’t be for God and hate Jews. This is all pretty simple.

Right now, Dershowitz is complaining because Senate Democrats, including Jewish Bernie Sanders, are calling for America to rethink its support of Israel. They just tried to block sales of arms to Israel.

Sanders used a very telling phrase: “the tide is turning.”

Here is part of his official statement, in which he speaks for the majority of Senate Democrats:

By a vote of 27-17, the members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral, and illegal war against the Palestinian people.

The tide is turning. The American people do not want to spend billions to starve children in Gaza.

Gazans are not actually starving, as many videos show, and whatever lack they are experiencing is the fault of Hamas, which continues to maintain an immoral, unjustifiable war instead of surrendering for the good of Palestinians. Hamas also loots aid shipments and keeps ordinary Palestinians from benefiting.

What is the significance of the expression “the tide is turning”? It describes the process by which a mob turns against someone. It describes the effects of mindless peer pressure, uncontaminated by information and reason.

In the Bible, bodies of water represent large numbers of voices. Human beings. The Sea of Galilee symbolizes the world. The fish the disciples caught symbolize the saved. When Peter sand into the Sea of Galilee, the purpose was to show that without direct support from Yeshua, it was not possible for a Christian to avoid sinking back into the world and living under its sway.

The Dead Sea represents hell.

There is a flood washing over the world, submerging it deeper and deeper into Satan’s kingdom. It’s a tide, just as Bernie Sanders said.

The spirit of antichrist works through crowds. Crowds are not supposed to rule, but they have a long history of seizing power anyway.

If you have read the Bible, you know God is against democracy. Yeshua is the king of kings, not the president of presidents. He’s not a committee with members selected using quotas to make sure there are enough lesbians and illegal aliens. No one elected him. He was appointed by Yahweh, and the motion was seconded by the Holy Spirit.

Biblical crowds usually did the wrong thing. Two crowds of perverted homosexuals tried to rape men in the streets of Sodom and Gibeah, and the Gibeah mob raped an innocent woman to death. Dathan stirred crowds up against Moses. A crowd made and worshiped the golden calf and danced naked around it. A crowd made the decision to have Israel ruled by a secular king instead of accepting God’s priests and prophets. A crowd voted to have Yeshua tortured to death, after Pilate found him innocent. A crowd stoned Stephen to death. Crowds beat the apostles.

Generally, the good things people did in the Bible were done by individuals, often with resistance from mobs.

Exodus 23 says this:

Do not follow the crowd when it does what is wrong; and don’t allow the popular view to sway you into offering testimony for any cause if the effect will be to pervert justice.

That’s The Complete Jewish Bible’s translation.

Democracy is mob rule. In order to have a voice in the running of a country, all you have to do is be born. You can be a worthless, malicious person. You can be mentally retarded. You can be psychotic. You can be a Satanist. As long as you’re breathing and you haven’t been convicted of a felony in the recent past, you get to rule.

When Bernie Sanders talks about the tide, he is invoking the authority of a great unseen crowd. “Everyone says.” “Everyone is doing it.” “The consensus is.”

That’s the language of Satan, who is the spirit of antichrist; the god of mobs. When you can’t get something evil done on your own, you motivate the crowd, and then it gets done. This explains things like riots, gang rapes, and Kristallnacht.

Drawing authority from the crowd absolves you from blame, and it frees you to act on your ape-like urges. “I looted Louis Vuitton, but everyone was doing it.”

As to the tide of antisemitism, it is going global, and the crowd will win. Like my wife says, “Satan always gets the popular vote.” As a comedian said in a Babylon Bee video, hating Jews is cool now, so antisemites who have been hiding in the shadows are outing themselves.

Whenever you hear the word “cool,” you should be aware it was coined by the spirit of antichrist. It’s a helpful term that assists people in accepting and rejecting things without a serious rationale. Being uncool is scary to most people.

UK Prime Minister Keir “Two-Tier Keir” Starmer says the UK is going to recognize Palestine as a real nation unless Israel lets him dictate its actions in the Hamas war. As dominoes go, that’s a big one, but it should surprise no one. By and large, the British are against Christianity and Christians. Christianity is the main reason there are still any Gentiles who support Israel.

Most UN members recognize Palestine. About 75%. The UK will still be an important victory for Satan.

Dershowitz is fighting antisemitism, and while he claims he’s religious, he’s using the wrong tools: secular opposition. He writes books. He does videos. He makes speeches.

He should be looking for his Messiah, getting to know him, and trying to get supernatural enlightenment and protection for his family and any other Jews who will listen. The secular approach won’t work here any more than it worked in Austria and Germany.

Even the divine approach won’t work. Not because it’s ineffective; it’s the most effective approach there is. It won’t work, at least for Israel and Jews as a whole, because God has already foreseen that it won’t.

Zechariah plainly said all the nations of the world (not just Middle Eastern powers like Persia or Babylon) would turn against Jerusalem. That means Dershowitz is going to lose his war. He also said the women would be raped and half of the city would go into captivity.

Zechariah said that after the future sacking of Jerusalem, which is a larger picture of what happened on October 7, the Messiah would come and fight for Israel, personally. He said the enemies of Israel would receive terrible punishments. Their flesh would consume away as they stood, and their eyes would consume away in their sockets.

Zechariah also said the Jews would then recognize their Messiah, whom they had pierced, and mourn. After that, the Messianic Age comes.

Israel is not going to come around in time to prevent destruction, but there is no reason why Alan Dershowitz can’t accept Yeshua, get to know the Holy Spirit, clean up his ways, and get protection.

Yeshua spoke of this time, saying Jerusalem would be “trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” That has already happened.

The Greek word translated as “times” is kairos, which means a proper time, like a correct season. It is used to describe times of harvest, and that makes sense, because Yeshua will return when the Gentiles are no longer giving him a big enough harvest of saved souls to justify continuing the age. He will harvest whoever is ripe, and the age will end.

It’s interesting. The Jews enjoyed about 2,000 years as the spiritual leaders of the world. Abraham’s time was around 4,000 years ago, and the crucifixion took place about 2,000 years ago. Since Christianity began, the Gentiles have turned against the real gospel and accepted various Satanic decoy gospels.

To me, it looks like the Jews had their “times,” and now we have had ours.

They blew it. We blew it. But most of us still look down on the Jews and express amazement because they made a mistake similar in magnitude to the one we make every day in rejecting the Holy Spirit. We’re so smart; not like those slow-witted Jews. With all their Nobel Prizes.

It’s about time for Yeshua to return and put things in order. The Messianic Age has to come, and if the past is any guide, it should come after 6,000 years of Biblical history. Right about now, in other words.

When the rapture comes, I hope Alan Dershowitz isn’t still off course, making another useless podcast or writing another unhelpful book.
