Staying Out Of the Fray, And...

First, with all due respect to people who believe that Ahmadinejad's "Mahdi" will be the Jewish Antichrist:

1. We Jews are far from stupid. The Antichrist will be Jewish--not Syrian, Turkish, Arab, etc. We would never follow a goy as the Messiah.
2. Scripture is very clear that even the Muslims will abandon Islam and take on Judaism. They'l say, "F*** Mohammed and this 'Mahdi' crap--he stole it and twisted it from Tanakh, anyway." Case in point (since, as a sidenote, at least a few "Palestinians" and others are Crypto Jews or unknown-to-self Jews):

44 “Yet hear now, O Jacob My servant,
And Israel whom I have chosen.
² Thus says the Lord who made you
And formed you from the womb, who will help you:
‘Fear not, O Jacob My servant;
And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
³ For I will pour water on him who is thirsty,
And floods on the dry ground;
I will pour My Spirit on your descendants,
And My blessing on your offspring;
⁴ They will spring up among the grass
Like willows by the watercourses.’
⁵ One will say, ‘I am the Lord’s’;
Another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
Another will write with his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’
And name himself by the name of Israel.

Another example:

For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will still choose Israel, and settle them in their own land. The strangers will be joined with them, and they will cling to the house of Jacob. ² Then people will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them for servants and maids in the land of the Lord; they will take them captive whose captives they were, and rule over their oppressors.

One more example--by the way, many Jews are heart hardened and do not understand this to be about the Millineal Kingdom. They think that it's about the "Messiah" (the Antichrist), since they don't think that Jesus brought peace:

Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And peoples shall flow to it.
² Many nations shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
³ He shall judge between many peoples,
And rebuke strong nations afar off;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.^[a]

Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
³ Many people shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
⁴ He shall judge between the nations,
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.

Second--now that I'm done giving the schpiel and megillah about most Mohammedians dropping Mohammedism and most Jews ultimately not allying with or picking up Mohammedism (except for a few Neturei Katra crazies who are, as some say, apparently in the modern-day Sanhedrin)--let me tell you what happened yesterday.

If you're wondering; no, Toby Keith did not admit to cheating or get divorce papers delivered to him (as far as I know, anyway; though if he is cheating, he might as well admit it). I actually got a message from an old (I repeat, "old"--meaning former) nemesis: Erica Levy Rivera. I did have a change of heart; meaning, for example:

1. Am I going to be more charitable towards her (and others) in the future? Yes.
2. Am I going to approve of everything that she and Geraldo (and others) have done and do from now on? No. Nonetheless, as I said, I'll be more charitable (e.g., compassionate) in expressing my feelings about what I disapprove of, etc.
3. I, for example, should've returned the compliment about being pretty--as much as I don't like everything that Erica does, etc.; she is pretty, and I've even told my mom (who disagrees) that Erica's prettier than me.

Do I know if I'll ever watch "Geraldo at Large" or ever follow Geraldo on Facebook and Twitter again? No. Do I know if my correspondence with Erica will continue? No, though--in a weird way--I might actually like it to. Do I think or know that I'll strike up a friendship with Erica and Geraldo, and reconnect with a former friend who's in their inner circle? Same answer--that is, no (or actually, more like maybe but probably not) but I might like to (Besides, what the heck: I have...eh..more interesting--e.g., downright wicked--family members, anyway.).

I'm not saying that Erica and Geraldo are wicked, by the way (Well, they aren't more wicked than any human--at least without Yeshua, and even with Yeshua--is anyway; and Christians do still have a sin nature.). I'm just saying that I don't know how well I could strike up a friendship with Non-Messianic Jews who are Far-Left Democrats--though to be fair; my friend Jake is a Far-Left Democrat and Hindu, while my cousin Jessica is a Far-Left Democrat and Taoist (and they're both Non-Messianic Jews--and Jessica is a Rusnak-Gaydos cousin). Also, I don't know about supporting Tiki Barber and Traci Johnson--though to be fair, they're going to commit further adultery by marrying, anyway; Ginny won't take him back, and they do deserve each other at this point. Besides, what kind of morality can I expect from Non-Messianic Jews and gentiles? Also, as I said, I'm not perfect, either.

Anyway, as the old saying goes, we'll see what happens.
