The book is organized into four parts. Due to the overall length of the book and to keep these articles short, this review is also divided into four parts.

Below are some key points and excerpts from Part 3: “The Synagogue of Satan” which contains 11 chapters. This is not intended to be a summary.
● God chose the Hebrews as “preserver of the true religion” until the (first) coming of Christ.
● However, some Jews have interpreted many prophecies and promises of the Old Testament to suit their materialistic ambitions, treating it as a license for terror and cruelty. To quote merely one example from Deuteronomy 7:
And thou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver unto thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them; neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
● After committing deicide, the Jews compiled the Talmud which contains their false interpretations. The Cabbala (“prophecy”) came afterwards which also contain their “secret interpretation” of the Holy Scriptures. (This is referring to writings, which does not exclude oral tradition.) Two examples are reproduced below.
You, Israelites, are called men, while the peoples of the world do not deserve the name of men but that of beasts. (Baba Metzia)
The All-highest spoke thus to the Israelites: “You have recognised me as the sole ruler of the world and therefore I will make you into the sole rulers of the world.” (Hagigah)
● Many of the promises in the Old Testament regarding the Jews are conditional, thereby showing how false some of their interpretations are. In other words, be good or suffer. To quote merely one example from Leviticus 26:
But if ye hearken not unto Me, and will not do all these commandments; And if ye shall despise My statutes, or if your soul abhor My judgments, so that ye will not do all My commandments, but that ye break My covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it! And I will set My face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies; they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins!
● It is recorded in the Old Testament that God on multiple occasions, as prophecied, used pagans to punish the Israelites when they were unfaithful.
● Over the centuries, the Jews concealed their efforts from the Christians and others.
● The Inquisition existed for the purposes of countering the conspiracies of these concealed Jews, amongst other reasons. The Inquisition is considered the “Achille’s heel” of the Catholic Church but this is propaganda.
● It is true that over the centuries many thousands have been executed under the Inquisition. Some excuse it by stating the executions were carried out by the State rather than the Church but this is unnecessary as the Church had to at least permit them. Although there is a distinction between the Papal, Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions, the Church hierarchy still had at least some responsibility in the latter two. Ultimately, the circumstances justified such a drastic intervention which is something typically not discussed. (Part 4 elaborates on the Inquisition.)
There remained no other choice than to oppose the secret anti-Christian organisations with equally secret counter-bodies.
● Their tactics, which have not fundamentally changed for the past two thousand years, is deception, slander, bribery and murder.
● As for deception, they use “abstract and hazy concepts or playing with words of malleable importance and contents, which can be interpreted in a twofold manner and used in a different way”.
● Although the author(s) do not explain modern humanism in detail, one tactic is the promotion of “all-embracing liberty, equality and fraternity”, including “anti-semitism”.
● “Anti-semitism” is conveniently equated to hatred of the Jewish people in direct contradiction of “love” and “charity” as well as Jesus’s and Mary’s own blood relations. It is also equated to any resistance to Jewish activity.
● Some use Jesus Christ as a symbol of anti-semitism. To quote Jewish writer Joseph Dunner in his book The Republic of Israel:
For every sect believing in Christ, Jesus is the symbol of everything that is healthy and worthy of love. For the Jews he is from the 4th century onward the symbol of ‘Antisemitism’, of slander, of violence and of violent death.
● However, on numerous occasions as recorded in the Gospels, Christ has criticized the Jews. For example, in Matthew 23, He refers to the Jews as “hypocrites”, “full of iniquity”, “foolish”, “blind” and “generation of vipers”.
● In Apocalypse (Revelations) 2, He refers to them as the “synagogue of Satan”.
● German nazism commits the error of equating the chosen people of Abraham, Isaac, and Moses with modern Jewry, amongst other errors.
● The charge of “deicide” is also considered anti-semitic. However, as recorded in the Gospels, it was the Jews who tried to kill Christ on multiple occasions and it was the majority of the Jewish chief priests who instigated the plan to execute him. This view was affirmed by the Apostles. Two examples are reproduced below. Peter is the speaker in the first one.
“Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words! … Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him, in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.” (Acts 2)
Then Peter and the other Apostles answered and said, “We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.” (Acts 5)
● It is indisputable, according to both Christian and Jewish sources, that Jews have persecuted Christians since the time of the Apostles. The Jews stoned Stephen, the first martyr of Christianity (Acts 7) and this conflict continued throughout the early church.
…to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Acts 12)
● In History of the Jews by Heinrich Graetz, referring to St Ambrose, Bishop of Milan (d. 397):
Ambrose of Milan was an impetuous officer, who was ignorant in theology, and whose renowned violence within the Church had elevated him to the rank of a bishop. He was in fact the most malicious towards the Jews.
● According to Tertullian and Orosius:
…before the Hebrew attempts at persecution arose against Christians, the Emperor Tiberius had a law published that threatened with death those who accused Christians. In the ninth year of his government, Claudius commanded all Jews to leave Rome because, according to the evidence of Flavius Josephus, they had caused Agrippina, his wife, to take on Jewish customs; or also, as Suetonius writes, because frequent upheavals gave the impetus to the persecutions of Christians.
● According to The Jewish Food Laws by Rabbi Wiener, the Jews instigated the Christian persecutions in Rome under the rule of Nero in the year 65 AD with Jewess Poppaea as Empress and a Jew as prefect of the city.
Rabbi Jehuda, one of the authors of the Talmud, was successful in the year 155 of our calendar in obtaining a command, according to which all Christians of Rome were to be sacrificed, and on the grounds of which many thousands were killed. The executioners of the martyrs and Popes, Cayo and Marcelino were in fact Jews.
● These persecutions lasted approximately three centuries and the Christians resisted “without answering violence with violence”. It was after the conversion of Constantine that military force was finally used to defend the Church.
