Scripture foretold the coming of the Messiah, and Yahushua was the fulfilment of those prophecies. This song uses scripture to trace His identity, and personally asks Him to forgive, and to remember us. Followers of the Messiah were known as Messianites. This title was first applied to them in Antioch. (Acts 11:26).

The term, Christian, evolved three hundred years later, when apostates from the Truth merged with worshippers of Christos Helios, or ‘Christ the Sun-god.’ This Roman Catholic religion, with its idolatry and pagan root, flourished in the anti-Semitic atmosphere of Constantine’s empire, falsely teaching that the Church had replaced Yisra’el.

Hostile sentiments towards the Jews also existed among celebrated “Church fathers,” such as Chrysostom, Augustine, Martyr and Origen.

These hostilities are echoed in the sermons and writings of Martin Luther, a prominent Christian in Germany. His malicious work of 1543 C.E. entitled ‘On the Jews and their lies,’ incited Hitler and the Nazis to murder six million Jews during the second world war.

Their first violent assualt against the Jews took place on the anniversary of Luther’s birth, 10/11/1938. Known as Kristallnacht, it involved the shattering of Jewish shop windows, the burning of hundreds of synagogues, and the murder of Jews.

“Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, and let the name of Yisra’el be remembered no more.”

Tehillim/Psalm 83:4.
