Actually, the roots of all antisemitism has never been more concisely and accurately summed up than in the Jewish Bible (consisting of the Jewish Older Covenant and the Jewish Renewed Covenant). To wit: “And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. And being with Child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads. And his tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and to His throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, And they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. And the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, ‘Now salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Messiah have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down’. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Therefore rejoice, oh heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has only a short time. And when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon spewed out of his mouth. And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he want to make war with the rest of her offspring who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah” (Revelation 12:1-17) [emphasis mine]. Please note that: 1. the “woman” spoken of in this chapter refers to the Jewish people; 2. the “twelve stars” represents the twelve tribes of Israel; 3. the “Child” is the Jewish Messiah; 4. the “dragon” is Satan; 5. the “third of the stars of heaven” are the fallen angels; 6. the “place prepared by God” is the nation of Israel (before the great dispersion); 7. the meaning of “to her place” represents the nation of Israel (brought back after the great dispersion; and 8. “the rest of her offspring” is alluding to the Jewish believers (and prophesied Jewish believers-yet-to-be).
