According to Christian Doctrine (Catholicism), because the Jews rejected Jesus, and are also guilty of Deicide(sic),G-d has rejected them and cursed them.

The verse in Daniel which you are referring to is,unfortunately, a mistranslation.The obvious question is:why didn\'t Daniel write 69 weeks instead of writing 7  62? If you translate the verse correctly, the question disappears.Correct translation:Know and discern that from the going forth of the word to restore and build Jerusalem unto one anointed,a prince , shall be seven weeks; and for 62 weeks shall it be built again with streets and moats, but in troublesome times. A few mistranslations and misplaced commas, and you have a very clever Christian interpretation.The main difference is  not that it will take 69 weeks for Moschiah to come but rather a mere 7 weeks. The city will remain built for 62 weeks then be destroyed. This is why Daniel wrote 7 62. Try reading the Book of Daniel in the original Hebrew or a reliable (i.e. Jewish source) translation.

It\'s all about that understanding and God\'s plan - he does this for his Name\'s Sake not yours.  The Messiah could not return to Jerusalem without the decendants of Jacob living there.  It took 1,898 years since the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans for God to regather the Jews back to Israel and recapture the Holy City.  Now the Messiah can come.  Both conservative Jews and Christians wait for the Messiah.");

There is nothing wrong with it.  No, there won\'t be pogroms.  Yes, there will be missionary pressure and \"soft\" discrimination.  That\'s actually a good thing.  It will eliminate all the \"reform\" and \"conservative\" and \"secular\" heretics.  They will all either convert or return to Judaism.  As for alliance with the Christians to defend the Holy Land, better put your faith in an alliance with HASHEM.  However, the Christians are a useful tool.  Were there a will to replace Israel with a Jewish State and were that state to arise, it could certainly use all the money and all the men it could get to wage milchemet mizvah against the Satanist Ishmaelites.

The danger to Judaism is an uneducated (in Judaism) and a fractured Jewish people. Jewish unity must prevail.  Ellen is right when she says that no matter which stream of Judaism one comes from, we all agree Jesus is not our savior. So the real threat is Jew versus Jew.  But sadly, I don\'t see this changing any time too soon.  I have read a multitude of posts from Orthodox readers(on related subjects) who say that any Judaism other than Orthodox is nothing more than xtianity. How do we over come that kind of attitude? The Orthodox are to be admired for their committment but there needs to be some realization that we do not live in 17th century Poland anymore. Any Jew who knows his faith can counter any xian belief about \"perfected Jews\" with very little difficulty. Xianity does not stand up against truth.  We must know those truths.");
