Anti Jewish, Anti Gentile

Have you ever heard someone say the New Covenant is anti Jewish because it says Jews killed Messiah. Well the New Covenant is anti Gentile also because it says Gentiles killed Christ.

Matthew 20:18 "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again."
Luke 18:32 also records the Gentiles killing Yeshua. "Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: and they (note, they mean the Gentiles) shall scourge him, and put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again." Here The New Covenant records Yeshua explaining to his disciples that the Gentiles will crucify him. That is pretty plain to understand.

In another book of the New Covenant, Acts, one of Yeshua's disciples tells the Jews that are gathered in Jerusalem for Pentacost "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that G-d hath made that same Yeshua, whom ye have crucified, both L-rd and Messiah." Acts 2: 36


The Jews had physical authority to condemn Yeshua and demand his death but not to literally kill him. All physical authority to kill a person was in the hands of the Gentile Roman government that ruled over Israel at that time. No one is exempt from the guilt of crucifying the Messiah of Israel. G-d holds Gentiles and Jews responsable for this sin. Anyone that claims Jews killed Messiah without including Gentiles are spiritually ignorant and some how see Gentiles as superiour to Jews. I don't know how they can be that way seeing Gentiles have no promises of G-d. Only G-d 's mercy included Jew and Gentile to be redeemed by the shed blood of the Risen L-RD.

The prophet Isaiah says"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the L-RD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53: 6 and in Romans of the New covenant it reads "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of G-d;" Romans 3: 23,24
