During that period , before the Nazis exerted totalitarian control , there was a window of opportunity when the German church could have stood with the Jews but did not . This was especially seen from 1933 to 1935 when the “ Ayran Clause ” was enforced , removing born-again Jews from the clergy within the church . This evil was opposed by Pastor Deitrich Bonhoeffer and the “ confessing church ” but not by the whole national German church , which had a major cultural influence at the time and could have altered history .
There was also a window of opportunity when the world church , especially in England and the US could have stood with the Jews and spoken against the Jew-hatred and persecution of them by the Nazis . Again , a few did so , such as Rees Howells , but for the most part , there was silence or , worse still , agreement with the antisemitism of that era . As a result , the Gentile church was often complicit in the fulfillment of the curse of genocide — the Holocaust .
Today ’ s Window of Opportunity
I am convinced that right now that we are in a similar window of opportunity in which Christians can make a decisive difference in blocking the fulfillment of the curse of genocide against the Jewish people by standing with them through intercession , prophetic declarations , and decisive , supportive actions .
Intercessors and spiritual warriors are vanguards in opposing Satan and advancing the Kingdom of God . But those of us who are Christians and stand with Israel , we are only one small part of the body of Messiah . Behind us must be the rest of the church . This is a call for intercessors to arise and to follow Yeshua as our commander and Savior , and join the battle !
I believe with all my heart that if the church acts now in response to what Messiah has revealed to us and follow His guidance , then , instead of a disaster that could be Holocaust 2.0 and World War III , the Jewish people will continue to flourish in Eretz Yisrael and will come to saving faith in their Mashiach , and the proclamation of the gospel of the Kingdom to all the nations .
