33. These groups support Israel to try to hasten the second coming
Sun Jun 3, 2018, 12:47 PM
Jun 2018

Jews and Israel have accepted this support because Israel needs this support to survive. These groups support Israel to try to hasten the second coming. Part of this ideology is to also convert Jews and that can get nasty. I have a good friend whose daughter was targeted by a sanctioned school group. This group believe that if you convert enough Jews to christianity, then the second coming would occur. The ADL got involved and the teacher disbanded this group after he learned that he was going to be sued and that the school district would not defend him.

My friend's daughter was told that she was being selfish by not converting and that if she converted then the second coming would occur. It was sick,

BTW, this young lady is now a partner in a major downtown law firm
