I do not agree with the Vatican on many things but this is absolutely correct.... biblical claims CANNOT justify the actions in the middle east by any of the opponents... it is sad that scripture is halting peace on earth instead of promoting it... I know that cannot be a loving God's doing... sadly I agree with the globalist elite.... the time for God has passed and now the time for world peace is at hand
I agree with that... hmmn that answers everything, but the answer doesnt solve anything... I guess it is up to God to intervene.... I do not like this one bit

It is not the Revelations which are the source of violence and genocide between Jews, Christians and Muslims in the Middle East.
It is, instead, the demonic doctrines and theologies of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religious 'authorities' in contradiction of those Revelations which is the source of such violence and evil.

PS In theological terms, I don't think the statement is a radical departure from what the church has said traditionally. From the Church's viewpoint, "God's people" expanded from the the Jews in the OT to include Gentiles in the NT. And the Church has traditionally re-interpreted the OT "promises" to Israel in more spiritual ways. So the comments are actually consistent with what the Church has been saying before.
It's just that the timing of the declaration is very, very interesting

In contradiction of the Revelations in the Torah; in contradiction of the Revelations received by Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Zechariah; in contradiction of the Gospels; and in contradiction of the Revelations received by Mohammed and conveyed in the Quran; the Roman church is now saying that the Jews are not the “Chosen people”:

This assertion, effectively, resurrects the “Final Solution” of the Nazis; this time applying that “Final Solution” the conflict over Jerusalem.
This will not succeed.

You say I'll see you in court buddy and he just laughs at you, you go into the courtroom and the judge says yup it's his house now he's one of god's chosen people it says right here, that would be no problem for you because it says it in the good book right?

Many of faith, and hopefully it is the majority, actually do live by these revelations.

The Catholic Church and Christians in general believe that the Jews were chosen, but that Christians are the fulfillment of that choice. Christians believe that in order to be saved, one must accept Jesus as their savior. The current Jews are those who have not accepted Jesus as their savior.

Disagreement on matters of doctrine is another issue.
You're talking about reincarnation?
I have no idea what the Muslim faith has to say about it.
I thought I'd heard that Jews believed in it,
and that originally the early Christians did as well.
Certainly there are many who don't believe in it, but then, there are so many of these things we're just not going to know during this lifetime but will find out for certain afterward!

I think the whole thing is stupid.
Seventy weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.
Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one
week; But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
And the people of the prince who is to come
Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The end of it shall be with a flood,
And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate.

It was only Gods promise to his chosen people to bring about the Messiah through their bloodline, which he fulfilled. At that point the “Age of the Jews” ended and the “Age of the Church” began. The only chosen Jewish people after that point, are ones who embraced Christ and became Christians.

Please understand that R. Ovadiah Yosef was advancing as a DOCTRINE that Gentiles are nothing more than donkeys.
Typically, it has a racist interpretation: Jews are the only true humans; and, thus, they will be raised from the dead as Jews for all time; whereas Gentiles have a 'soul' which is, of course, no better than a donkey; and, thus, will always be 'raised from the dead' as Gentiles.
The only "afterward" in which one can receive such knowledge is in one's next life.

I understand what you are saying.
The term for it is "Naziism".
