Liking the Challenge

“Americans have been remarkably free of the fuel that causes antisemitism to burn really hot, and, as already argued, that fuel is envy. Americans have not been threatened by this ‘high performance people’ largely because Americans have historically been a high performance people themselves. We appreciate and like the competition.”

Moses to Isaiah

“The logic of Christendom is that of multiple countries, multiple nations, all calling on the name of Christ, all having the option of living under the promised Deuteronomic blessings. As this goodness gradually takes shape, these Deuteronomic blessings will gradually become the Isaianic blessings, and the wolf will dwell with the lamb.”

Entirely Out of Reach

“He was rejected by the chief priests and scribes, and in a travesty of justice, executed—just like so many other prophets before Him. But this time something went desperately wrong, at least from the perspective of the Establishment Men. This time, the executed prophet did something no one else had been able to do: come back from the dead. This made Him very difficult to deal with. Now He is ruling from the right hand of the Father, and is entirely out of their reach.”
