In light of Candace Owens and The Daily Wire “ending their relationship” last week after the factual statements she made about Israel and Jews, I think it’s a good time to answer a serious question from a Biblical perspective that far too many American Christians get wrong: just who are God’s Chosen People?
Pastor Andrew Isker wrote an excellent piece on the subject a few weeks ago and I encourage you all to read it with eyes to see. American Christianity has been utterly devoid of the orthodox, historical, and Biblical perspective on this topic for far too long, but thankfully many Christians are waking up to the truth of the matter.
When people like Candace Owens speak these truths and stand their ground despite being “canceled” more people come to see this truth with their own eyes. I encourage you to pray for Candace and her family because her journey in fighting for the truth has only just begun. We must stand with her against these wicked and evil people.
They will stop at nothing to silence and intimidate her, trust me I’ve lived it. The past few years have been very difficult for me. I’ve faced an onslaught of stalkers, doxxing, harassment, and credible threats of violence against my family because I dare to proclaim the truth of God’s Word on the internet in front of millions of people and provide a platform for millions of others to do the same thing. When the world is telling you that you cannot proclaim certain truths about God’s Word you have a duty and an obligation to share those truths even more. This is a requirement. You cannot pick and choose which parts of God’s Word you want to defend and believe in. It’s all or nothing.
While these trials in my own life have certainly been challenging they have been worth it. More and more people are waking up to the reality of who is really running this country into the ground. The truth of this reality cannot be contained by any amount of censorship. Candace is very brave for speaking about these things from her very large platform and we must stand with her amidst these attacks. She could have kept her mouth shut, kept her head down low, and ignored the patterns of behavior and truth that is there plainly to see, but she didn’t. Far too many “influencers” take the money and keep their mouths shut. Candace did what Christians are commanded to do: speak the truth boldly.
I don’t think many of you realize what time it is. In the past few months alone both South Dakota and Georgia governors signed bills codifying the IHRA definition of antisemitism into state law. This definition includes claims of Jews killing Jesus being “antisemitism.” Guess what that means, Christian? You can no longer share Bible verses such as Matthew 27:24-25, 1 Thessalonians 2:14-15, and many others which clearly and unequivocally state that the Jews killed Jesus Christ. The Stone Choir Podcast recently released an incredible episode on this subject. If you only listen to one podcast this year I highly encourage you to let it be this episode. You should also share it with your Pastor or Priest.
Let’s also not forget Rabbi Ron DeSantis and his recent flight to Israel to sign similar anti-1A legislation for the state of Florida making it illegal to pass out flyers in the street that Jews find offensive. Flyers that happen to contain some of these very Bible verses that I mentioned above as well as other factual and verifiable information on them.
“Communist China” isn’t doing this. “The radical left” isn’t doing this.
Red state governors are doing it at the behest of their Jewish donors and Zionist “Christians” are standing by and letting it happen.
Christ is King
For several years now I’ve ended all of my emails and blog posts with the phrase “Jesus Christ is King.” Asserting the Kingship of King Jesus makes His enemies tremble. Simply invoking His name in conversation will make them cower in fear. There is power in His name and there is supreme authority in asserting His Kingship, which is precisely why these demons are trying to prevent you from saying “Christ is King” by calling it “antisemitic.”
Shortly after Candace Owens started proclaiming “Christ is King” in front of her millions of followers many Christ-hating Jewish leaders started attacking her character on X. This is a common occurrence when prominent figures in conservative circles proclaim the name of Christ in conversation and it’s why unfortunately many Christians in conservative media circles rarely bring up their faith or talk about Jesus at all.
Candace fired back at these despicable rabbis with factual and verifiable information about the state of Israel and the nature of political and social influence that Jews have in our country. Candace’s Jewish boss Ben Shapiro didn’t like this one bit and so now she no longer works at the Daily Wire.
Following her departure a familiar narrative broke out from Conservative Inc circles. The claim that saying “Christ is King” is “antisemitic” when it is said to an unbelieving Jew. New “sins” are being fabricated from thin air not by the Christless pagans on the left, but by those who claim to be Christians on the conservative right. Andrew Klaven, an ethnically Jewish convert to Christianity who also works for the Daily Wire, did a segment on this controversy following Candace’s departure and made this claim.
His segment is so bad on so many levels. It hurts my heart that many sincere Christians will listen to this man and take what he says here seriously, but make no mistake this is straight from the pit of hell. Like many others Klaven says that those who proclaim Christ’s Kingship are antisemitic. This entire segment is about him elevating his Jewish ethnic identity above his identity in Christ. He is not concerned that the Kingship of his Savior is being attacked, he is instead concerned that his ethnic tribe is being offended by that Kingship.
He is in error and should be rebuked.
Klaven then continues to bear false witness against fellow believers in the segment by claiming that those of us who proclaim that Christ is King also believe that God has abandoned the His Chosen People and that He has broken His promises.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
None of us believe God has abandoned His Chosen People. First of all the Bible is very clear: God’s Chosen People are Christians, not unbelieving Christ-rejecting Jews (1 Peter 2:9.) God did not abandon the Jews, they abandoned Him when they killed and rejected His Son Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 2:14-15)
None of us believe God has broken His promises. All of His promises were fulfilled in Christ. (2 Corinthians 1:20) There are no special side promises to unbelieving Christ-hating Jews. They missed the boat 2,000 years ago. The good news is they can still get back on the boat if they repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. This is Christianity 101. Stating these facts isn’t “antisemitic” and even if it was it wouldn’t matter: Christians are required to affirm these facts because this is plainly what the Word of God says. When you deny the Word of God to appease the feelings of a Christ-rejecting Jew you are sitting at a table that Jesus flipped over and denying Christ Himself.
The very worst part of Klaven’s segment on this topic is when he tells us about his “friend” Ben Shapiro. He claims that if Ben were to embrace Jesus Christ it would cause “devastation” for his life. He would be worse off. Klaven apparently believes God wants Ben to continue to reject His Son. With friends like this who needs enemies? This is madness. As Christians our heart longs for the salvation of our unsaved friends and family. My own heart longs for Ben Shapiro to repent and accept Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior. It’s unthinkable that Klaven would say this as a Christian.
So Who Are God’s Chosen People?
Those who are in Christ, regardless of ethnicity, are part of Abraham’s seed. Those who deny the son, regardless of ethnicity, do not have the Father. Galatians 3:29, 1 John 2:23
Romans 9:6-7 states “For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel. Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children.”
In Romans 11, Paul uses the metaphor of an olive tree. The natural branches (Jews) were *broken off* because of unbelief, and wild branches (Gentiles) were grafted in. Yet there’s hope that the natural branches can be grafted back in ONLY if they accept Jesus Christ—who is the root. (Revelation 22:16)
The Old Covenant was completely fulfilled and rendered *obsolete* with the destruction of the Temple in AD 70, as indicated in Hebrews 8:13. This marks a transition to the New Covenant, which is open to all through faith in Jesus Christ
No one who rejects Jesus Christ has any covenant with God simply because of their ethnic background. “God’s Chosen People” initially referred to the Israelites but has now been expanded to include all who believe in Jesus Christ, irrespective of ethnic background. This is based on passages like Galatians 3:28-29, which emphasize unity in Christ regardless of ethnic distinctions. What are God’s people chosen for? The answer in both the new and old covenants is simple: Jesus Christ. You can’t reject Him and be part of God’s Chosen People. Period.
If unbelieving Jews aren’t God’s Chosen People then what are they?
“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22). This verse highlights that at the heart of being antichrist is the denial of the core Christian belief in Jesus as the Christ and the Son of God.
The concept also extends beyond individuals to what John calls the “spirit of the antichrist,” which was already at work in the world during his time (1 John 4:3). This refers to a broader movement or attitude that opposes or seeks to replace Christ, which is exactly what modern Jews wish to do today—thus making them antichrist.
So when they call you “antisemitic” you need to be calling them antichrist, because they are. One of those words is in the Bible, the other is made up by antichrist Jews. If that offends you, take it up with God.
Make no mistake about it: the demons attacking the Kingship of Christ during Holy Week is no coincidence, but rest assured brothers and sisters: the gates of hell will not prevail.
Christ is King, and I don’t care if that makes me antisemitic.
Deal with it.
