warning that the genocide against the Gentile race is around the corner
Genocide against the Gentiles has been going on for a long time. IMO, that was one of Jesus's objectives, to warn us about it. Let me tell you a story; late one evening in the quiet hills of Galilee, Jesus sat with his inner circle reading from the Torah. The fire light danced on the parchment illuminating the ancient Hebrew letters. They had just finished a passage in Exodus, a terrifying passage where Yahweh commands the Israelites to "slaughter entire cities, men, women, children, livestock, everything that breathes. Leave nothing alive.". The words hung in the air like smoke. Peter looked up from the scroll, his face pale and disturbed. he asked in a low voice. Master, why is the god of our fathers so violent? Why is he so jealous? Why is he so angry? You teach us about a father of infinite love, a father of light, but this he gestured at the scroll with a trembling hand, this does not feel like love. This feels like rage.
Jesus closed the scroll slowly. He looked at each of them in the eyes, Peter, John, Mary Magdalene, and he said something that would eventually get him killed. Something the church would spend 2,000 years trying to erase from human consciousness. He said, "That is not the Father. That is not the the supreme god. The god you are reading about. The one who demands blood sacrifices. The one who drowns the world in floods. The one who commands genocide and calls it holy. He has a name. Yaldabaoth, the demiurge, the chief archon. And he has been pretending to be the most high since the beginning of this realm. This teaching never made it into the Bible.

No thanks. Jonathan Frakes said, "Never happened."
