I must admit that I am not prepared to declare the following delusion to be the “strong delusion” of 2 Thessalonians 2:11 (KJV), but I am prepared to say that the delusion hereinbelow is right up there with the delusive disbelief in God, Jesus, Satan (Devil), and hell: Simply put, delusive/delusion has to do with a way of life. Disbelief in any one or more of the foregoing results in living a delusive dream, at the hands of an evil spirit.
The adjective “strong” that precedes the word “delusion” in the text usually connotes a supernatural/spiritual. God does not create the delusion, but authorizes its creation and implementation. After all, these people have turned their backs on God.
The “strong delusion” to which I refer is the delusion that Jesus was a “Jew” and as such “Jews” are related to him by blood, geography, and religion. The acceptance of this delusion by the majority in our country has resulted “in the turning of a blind eye” to God’s enemies, the “Jews”: Literally, the wolf has been brought into the sheepfold.
More than 85% of “Jews” are Ashkenazi, descendants of Ashkenaz the grandson of Noah’s oldest son Japheth: They are Japhites. Anthropologists have found no Semitic blood in them, including the Cohens/so-called priests!!! About 15% of “Jews” are Sephardic/Sephardim, descendants of Edomite-Jews: Edom/Idumea/Esau was Isaac’s/Israel’s other son, as such, in this day and time, one could probably still find some Semitic blood in them. Isaac was the great-great grandson of Shem, Noah’s youngest son. Jesus’ bloodline, the chosen bloodline, comes through Shem-Semites/Semitic: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” (Romans 9:13 KJV)
The Ashkenazi Jews came from “Rosh/Ros, Meshech and Tubal” Kingdom (Russia) in Asia and established the Khazarian Kingdom (Magog/Ukraine) in Europe. The Sephardic/Sephardim Jews came through Spain.
The Ashkenazi Jews never set foot in Palestine and though the Sephardic/Sephardim came from Palestine, they are Edomites not members of the Children of Israel.
Jesus was not a Jew; Jesus was a Judean. Jesus did not practice their
Talmudic/Pharisaic/Judaism. In fact Jesus spoke ill of their religion/theology/ways!
