These dynamics of jealousy and hatred play out in our local daily lives. Four years I’ve endured , as a Catholic single woman , my neighbours harassment by following me to and from Mass, and at other times. Witchcraft and character assassination . Told F… you and F… your God ! Horrendous banging outside my door during the night. Flowers heads picked off during the summer months. Christmas Wreath trashed . Witchcraft symbols of curse tablets and pebbles placed in my garden . It all began when after a long period of time I decided to defend myself and challenge the leader of the neighbourhood, Protestant all. It then escalated openly, police weren’t interested . In fact they gave the impression to be friends with this guy. Unsuspecting I’d moved into a neighbourhood steeped in anti Catholic and very much filled with bitterness and hatred. The evil permeates our daily lives in great or lesser scale . I’m exhausted with spiritual warfare. My soul has wept my emotions broken at times but my triumph is Jesus Christ ! He has brought me through each day. 🏴❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Thank you !
Think about Gaza: Hammas expected a predictable reponse from Islam and got less than they maybe hoped for and horror from non - muslims that may do them yet down. Those of your neighbours who are invited to see in you a monster will see the monstrosity; sooner or later; in those who hate you. God moves in mysterious ways.
As always the radiance of hope and forgiveness has been articulated beautifully by you Dr. Ashenden. I am sharing this with a friend or two who admire the Jewish people and are at a loss to understand the depth of hatred that is the de- humanizing of an entire race of people. Is a chastisement coming? Something is.
This is a true and faithful message. We can pray for peace in the middleeast but there is no lasting peace outside of Jesus Christ. We must pray for conversion through the Gospel of Jesus Christ for both Jews and Muslims and then comes peace through His Holy Spirit and the power of the seven Holy Sacraments given to His church to hold forth the Word of life in the midst of a crooked and perverse world among whom we Christians should shine as lights. Pray for our priests to be true to this message and may our Beloved Mother Mary help us.
The shame is with those who have willfully ignored the nature of islam and the content of the koran and hadith. It's all there and many brave individuals have been trying to inform and warn us about this danger for years.
A great big thank you for your wonderful understanding and insight concerning this terrible inhumane atrocity! Your words are clear and understandable and true. We do not serve the same God, it is abundantly clear with the actions taken in the last month. If you must slaughter a defenseless race/ethnic population, you are serving the enemy of God and man! Our incarnate God who we call Jesus, taught us to turn the other cheek and not so much as to be angry against another human being much less a whole ethnicity. Thank you for your declarations and courage!
You state beautifully what I’ve struggled to formulate in my own mind . “For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.”
An interesting question and I believe that is the origin, fuelled later by what Dr Ashenden explains about the rise to power of Muhammad. If you believe in karma (and I do, most deeply and I have worked in the field of karma if I can write it like that) what we cannot forgive continues in future lives. Of course this is not the place to go into the complexities of karma, but both Sarah and Hagar carry a heavy burden karmically. It is also complicated by the duality of human existence, but that too is for another day.
You have to have an unshaming approach to hate and violence to have the ability to open up meaningful talks between people with such deep historical differences
Rev. Dr. Ashenden, you appear to be the only convincing voice of reason in a sea of confusion. Please would our leaders listen to you or else we will be experiencing the Armageddon we all fear and would sincerely pray to avoid.
At one point in the Gospels, Jesus is asked why he has to suffer (paraphrase). He says the words of Scripture have to be fulfilled. Unfortunately, the words of scripture in Revelation have to be fulfilled also.
It all seems prophetic. It's interesting, when I came back to Jesus, I read a lot of the early Church's writing. They were very much so looking for Jesus' return. Some of them had this expectation He would return following their Calander system at the time (Anno Mundi) following some what seems debunked theory of the sexta/septa tradition they had an expectation around 500 AD. It came and went and many later theorized there would be a regathering of the Jewish people prior to Christ's return. What interesting in all this for me is that there are two variations of textual histories for both the Old and New Testaments. I have always wonder why God allowed this to happen. Little bunny whole here but there are two interesting variants in both the OT and NT in certain numbers either 70 or 72 depending on which text. Anyway, they were using the LXX to date all of their beliefs of dates from what I can tell. If you use the Masoretic following their logic it puts the date roughly around 2030 ish. Two days to a thousand years and rise on the third. It is interesting with Israel as a nation being in existence at that time with Romans 11, the Olivette Discourse and Catechism on the topic. I even read the footnote in the Catechism from Danzinger's which was interesting as well. I pray as in 2 Peter 3 that there is more time, for the salvation of more souls. God's heart always seems to be repentance for all of us and He always seems to send out warnings like Jonah and pushes back some judgement due to repentance. It is an odd thing on one hand all creation cries out for His return yet on the other there is no desire to go through what needs to happen for Him to. It is like there is some connection between the Church's final persecution and Christ's on the cross before a type of resurrection for the Church at His appearance.
"No knows the day or the hour, not the angels in heaven nor the Son, only the Father". It's really pointless speculating, God will come in His own good time "like a thief in the night" when we least expect it. In this world we only see things "through a glass darkly", God sees the whole picture. As for the "wars and rumours of wars", there always have been and always will be and I can think of far more apocalyptic times like when the Moors were invading Central France or the Turks were at the gates of Vienna. And those things passed. Jesus made it clear, our job Is to watch and pray and obey His commandments while we are here on Earth.
@@philiphumphrey1548 Yes, I have heard this all before. We are commanded to watch but I guess some people think there is nothing ever to watch for. Even the passage you quoted contains a command to watch with things to watch for. The Catechism actually has list of things to watch for in it as well. The early Church was obviously obsessed with it and clearly it didn't happen then so yes obvious the time seems elusive. Hence n my post I said what seems like a debunked theory. I could quote all sort of Scripture making it clear there are things to look for, even 2 Peter 3 says people will deny its happening when it does. It's a fine balance between sitting around doing nothing but watching or doing none at all. Yes, I am aware people can have an unhealthy obsession with it and not be productive. But the opposite is also true. It's been my experience many of those obsessed people seem to be the most productive but its antidotal evidence. I imagine many people in Christ's life didn't believe He was the Christ because they didn't' believe He would come in their lifetimes.
@@VandeVisscher Yes, a means of destroying the harlot sitting on an apparent dragon. Or the gospel spread through all the earth, or a regathered nation of Israel, or a means of setting up a global government with the technology to pull it off using a bloc chain internet of things crypto currency to control buying and selling.

Read your Quran. Read the Friday Prayer, Surah 62. It has been read every Friday in every mosque in the world for the last 1400 years. The Jews are mentioned in the Friday Prayer, and Allah does not like them. And neither does Islam.
Lastly, if the book of Revelation is a map of the Mass (Scott Hahn), a menu for the feast, then at each Mass evil is completely defeated. Still, it will be definitively defeated at the end.
What part of the ten commandments do any of these 'religions' not understand ? 'Thou Shalt not Kill ' is ignored by all the World in order to defend 'religious ideas' that have nothing to do with the Truth which IS God's HOLY WORDS 'Thou Shalt not Kill ' ✝️❤️🩹
The Qur'an has no trace of the Ten Commandments, and no identification of God as the LORD (YHWH). It is perhaps time to re-evaluate the proposition that Muslims serve the same God as Jews and Christians. Manifestly, they do not. As was the case with the Canaanites of ancient times, it seems that the cup of their iniquity is near full. As was the case with Amalek, it seems that the war of the LORD, the God of Israel, continues from generation to generation. (Exodus 17:16).
They are missing the unconditional love of the Cross, the turn the cheek and love your enemies. The pray for those who persecute you. The need the gospel and Jesus in their life. Without Him they are stuck with an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth.
@@jesuslovesaves2682 If they were Christians they would have been living in peace with the Jews long ago. The precept to turn the other cheek applies only to an assault that would barely get you arrested. The Torah contains commandments concerning warfare against such enemies as commit genocide against the people of Israel.
You are guilty of the error you attribute to "these religions". The Hebrew text of the 6th commandment prohibits murder, (lo tirtsach), not killing. The Bible clearly does not prohibit all killing of human beings. but commands it in certain circumstances, including in just war.
Judaism as a supernatural faith is dead. The old law has been superseded by the new, and Christendom is the new Israel. You ask the right questions: for example, what can cause this kind of hatred? But your answers, unlike most of your insights into other areas, are rather unsatisfactory. Is the Jewish question your intellectual Achille's heel? You are right that Jews have been at the top of many human, intellectual, scientific, and artistic achievements. But they also spearhead abortion rights, race-baiting, pornography, usurious banking, Hollywood and other pernicious mainstream media. If Judaism is a religion, it is obsolete. If it is racial, then the Savior has already answered the question: "And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham" (Matt 3:9). The question is historically complex, this acrimony between Jews and Muslims. I suspect--while wholeheartedly condemning the recent atrocities perpetrated by the Palestinians--there is plenty of blame to go around on both sides. In a twenty minute TH-cam talk, the historical dimension cannot be adequately explored. But if the question of antisemitism is a theological one--and I think it is--then why not offer a stronger moral challenge to Christians, in light of St. Paul's warning to the Church in Thessalonica? Or why not consider the teaching of the Church, particularly as contained in the Sicut Juadaeis papal bulls?
I agree. I found Dr Ashenden’s ideas here very pro Jewish. Don’t forget that the Jews hate our Lord Jesus, deny Him and had Him killed. Refer to the Talmud to see what Jews today think of Jesus. Remember also that by their denial of Jesus they are denying God. They do not serve the same God as Christians, they are satanic. I reaffirm what you say about all the horrific offences to God they spearhead (abortion, porn etc). Dr Ashenden you sound like someone who thinks the term Judeo Christian is valid. We are not allies with the Jews or the Muslims.
Sorry, but Christianity fails the test in Deuteronomy 18: 15 - 22, which is why many of the proof texts of Christian doctrine in the OT, are consistently and intentionally mistranslated in Christian sources. For example, the Hebrew word for virgin appears nowhere in Isaiah 7:14; Christian translations of Isaiah 9:6 translate the verb to be born in the future tense, when they are in the perfect (past) tense, i.e. refer to an event that has already occurred, so that the correct translation is "For a child has been born to us, a son given to us, and the authority is upon his shoulder, and the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name, "the prince of peace.""
I think referring to them as proof texts is part of the problem -it’s not a matter of proof, but rather of an emerging picture The framework for which is found in the writings of the first covenant and the details in the second. The correlation between the two is not easy for the enlightenment mind to deal with, which is why introducing the word proof is so unhelpful.
@@DrGAshenden Thank you for thoughtful reply, but are you not just saying Credo ut Intelligam, i.e. there is no proof because faith comes first, so that Christians must read the OT through the lens provided by the NT, i.e. Novum Testamentum in Vetere latet, Vetus in Novo patet, i.e. the OT is the NT concealed and the NT is the OT revealed. This results in an almost post-modernist relationship with the text in which the reader/translator is the writer whose primary obligation is to faith and not the text, traduttore traditore.
One might perhaps say that there are 2 bodies of Christ in the world: the Church, and the Jewish people. (And the poor.) And the body of Christ will go where the Head Christ has gone, the Carrying of the Cross to Calvary.
Islam 👇 Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews. Sahih Muslim 2922 Book 54 hadith 103
Let's do a thought experiment. Let's say the world was without sin, the fallen angels didn't fall and man didn't sin. What would happen at the end of time? I suspect the world would surround Jerusalem and Rome with cheers and applause and praise to thank them for the supreme gift of bringing God into the world, and in anticipation of God's final arrival. We are in a sinful world, so the world will surround Jerusalem and Rome, and God will arrive, but their reasons for surrounding those two cities will be quite different.
If the first part of your comment were true , then there would never have been a ‘fallen’ world that needed reconciliation to God and Heaven would there at all in the first instance , so death and it’s dis -ease simply would not be here , and there would be no ‘time’ to have an end , it was the sin and entering into people ‘death’ that triggered the entire fallen generations of us all , and God has ever since been longing for what it actually was created to achieve ….and not this current ‘Hell - Hole’ of Tyrant’s . ✝️❤️🩹
@@andreafirth577 I like that, but I have a different view of how the world might have progressed without sin, of course God's original plan did not involve sin.
The Muslims believe that the Jewish people have to be killed for the Messiah (the Muhfti - sp?) to reappear. The Catholic Church believe that a number of the Jewish people will accept Jesus before he will return. I wonder which one is right.
Is your ‘analysis’ getting worse with every video? I have never heard such nonsense in all my life. Your psychological analysis of Muhammad is kind of absurd. How do you know what Muhammad was thinking and feeling over 1500 years ago? And, moreover, the Jews have always been treated much better under Islamic rule than under Christian rule. After the reconquista it was the Ottomans (and other Muslims) who welcomed the Jews to their lands. Jewish historians have even argued that it was the Muslims who saved Jewry. So to argue that Muhammad and Islam are inherently hostile to the Jews is absolutely absurd. Dr Ashenden always seems to side with the rich and the powerful over the poor and the oppressed, which is perhaps why he was a chaplain to the Queen! I’m not sure Christ had that in mind when he established his church. And, Dr Ashenden, you might like to look at the atrocious history of the Catholic Church with respect to the Jews!
All you have to do is to read Article 7 of the Hamas Charter. Hamas wants to kill all Jews wherever they are. Dhimmi status is no picnic and can be withdrawn at the drop of a hat
1] The Jews were tolerated in Moslem-ruled territories, when they accepted 2nd-class citizen status. 2] Christian mistreatment of Jews has no theological foundation of which I am aware. 3] Per contram, Moslem mistreatment of Jews is not simply acceptable, but is actively mandated. by the theology. 4] The jolly goings-on in the Holy Land have nothing to do with earthly politics, rather they are the continuation of a religious war of extermination. 5] Don't on any account feel comfy that it's "just the Jews" getting it [literally] in the neck. The Jews simply have the top ticket. They are the canary in the coal mine. The theology has all the rest of us marked for the same fate. 6] Part of the trouble in Western countries is that the organised Church has abandoned the great commission. You have these millions of heathen pouring into our countries, and the Church is all smiles and accommodation and compromise. The Church should have been telling them loud and strong that they are walking in darkness and need Jesus in their lives. The work of the Church has, instead, been done by street preachers who have literally been getting battered and knifed by Moslems for their troubles, and persecuted by 'liberal' governments. 7] None of this is getting any better any time soon.
It is true that the Jews suffered less under islam but only at the price of second hand status : dhimmi and jiziyah. As a human being with the good fortune to have been brought up in a democratic country, who would want to have second hand status as a human being?
PS I would also like to add that the Church also treated the Jews badly, but the point is the Church has moved on since then whereas islam seems glued into a medieval instruction manual which they have difficulty adapting to the modern world. I actually HEARD and SAW muslims screaming outside the Sidney Opera House "g*s the J*w" (I am sorry I do not wish to write those words) and inciting other protesters to scream the same.

Jesus is the answer. No salvation outside the one holy apostolic Catholic Church. We have convert all!
Good luck!
Islam 👇
Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
Sahih Muslim 2922
Book 54 hadith 103
Let's do a thought experiment. Let's say the world was without sin, the fallen angels didn't fall and man didn't sin. What would happen at the end of time?
I suspect the world would surround Jerusalem and Rome with cheers and applause and praise to thank them for the supreme gift of bringing God into the world, and in anticipation of God's final arrival.
We are in a sinful world, so the world will surround Jerusalem and Rome, and God will arrive, but their reasons for surrounding those two cities will be quite different.
If the first part of your comment were true , then there would never have been a ‘fallen’ world that needed reconciliation to God and Heaven would there at all in the first instance , so death and it’s dis -ease simply would not be here , and there would be no ‘time’ to have an end , it was the sin and entering into people ‘death’ that triggered the entire fallen generations of us all , and God has ever since been longing for what it actually was created to achieve ….and not this current ‘Hell - Hole’ of Tyrant’s . ✝️❤️🩹
@@andreafirth577 I like that, but I have a different view of how the world might have progressed without sin, of course God's original plan did not involve sin.
Ezekiel 36 37 38
Yes, only Jesus can resolve this problem.
Jesus.
The Muslims believe that the Jewish people have to be killed for the Messiah (the Muhfti - sp?) to reappear. The Catholic Church believe that a number of the Jewish people will accept Jesus before he will return. I wonder which one is right.
Is your ‘analysis’ getting worse with every video? I have never heard such nonsense in all my life. Your psychological analysis of Muhammad is kind of absurd. How do you know what Muhammad was thinking and feeling over 1500 years ago? And, moreover, the Jews have always been treated much better under Islamic rule than under Christian rule. After the reconquista it was the Ottomans (and other Muslims) who welcomed the Jews to their lands. Jewish historians have even argued that it was the Muslims who saved Jewry. So to argue that Muhammad and Islam are inherently hostile to the Jews is absolutely absurd. Dr Ashenden always seems to side with the rich and the powerful over the poor and the oppressed, which is perhaps why he was a chaplain to the Queen! I’m not sure Christ had that in mind when he established his church. And, Dr Ashenden, you might like to look at the atrocious history of the Catholic Church with respect to the Jews!
All you have to do is to read Article 7 of the Hamas Charter. Hamas wants to kill all Jews wherever they are. Dhimmi status is no picnic and can be withdrawn at the drop of a hat
1] The Jews were tolerated in Moslem-ruled territories, when they accepted 2nd-class citizen status. 2] Christian mistreatment of Jews has no theological foundation of which I am aware. 3] Per contram, Moslem mistreatment of Jews is not simply acceptable, but is actively mandated. by the theology. 4] The jolly goings-on in the Holy Land have nothing to do with earthly politics, rather they are the continuation of a religious war of extermination.
5] Don't on any account feel comfy that it's "just the Jews" getting it [literally] in the neck. The Jews simply have the top ticket. They are the canary in the coal mine. The theology has all the rest of us marked for the same fate.
6] Part of the trouble in Western countries is that the organised Church has abandoned the great commission. You have these millions of heathen pouring into our countries, and the Church is all smiles and accommodation and compromise. The Church should have been telling them loud and strong that they are walking in darkness and need Jesus in their lives. The work of the Church has, instead, been done by street preachers who have literally been getting battered and knifed by Moslems for their troubles, and persecuted by 'liberal' governments.
7] None of this is getting any better any time soon.
It is true that the Jews suffered less under islam but only at the price of second hand status : dhimmi and jiziyah. As a human being with the good fortune to have been brought up in a democratic country, who would want to have second hand status as a human being?
PS I would also like to add that the Church also treated the Jews badly, but the point is the Church has moved on since then whereas islam seems glued into a medieval instruction manual which they have difficulty adapting to the modern world. I actually HEARD and SAW muslims screaming outside the Sidney Opera House "g*s the J*w" (I am sorry I do not wish to write those words) and inciting other protesters to scream the same.
