SUPERNATURAL
SID:
An Exposé of
Jewish Supremacist Sid Roth
Popular
"Messianic Jewish" media figure, Sid Roth has a significant following
in books, radio, print, and television. Based in Georgia, his TV show It's
Supernatural! is carried by mainstream Christian broadcasters, and Roth's
recent book entitled They Thought For Themselves: Ten Amazing Jews, has over 1
million copies in print.
Sid Roth's
ministry is one of those which requires a bit of an effort to analyze, because
the style of the message tends to sidestep and/or avoid the nuts and bolts of
New Testament doctrine – instead utilizing a feel good, relationship driven
message of encouragement and reconciliation, all predicated on a supposed
effort to reach out to Jews.
Such
verbiage sounds good to most believers, but as we know, the Scriptures tell us
"There
is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end therof are the ways of
death" (Proverbs 16:25).
The idea of
reaching out to anybody, including Jewish people who need Jesus, is certainly a
good thing – but the question du jour is, reaching out with what? As is the
case in every Messianic ministry involved in the so called Hebrew Roots
movement, Sid Roth's message is reaching out to the Spiritually cold Jews with
a lukewarm manifestation of the Gospel – yet another version of the Jewish
Supremacism, which is guaranteed by the Scriptures to lead its adherents into
perdition.
Those who
have toured the heretical landscape that is found throughout the Antichrist
movement which is known as Messianic Judaism can tell at a glance that
something is wrong when they see the six pointed Star of Moloch (Amos 5:26)
prominently displayed in any ministry masthead; but it's usually a bit more
difficult to precisely pin down just what is doctrinally wrong with such a
ministry – especially when you have to dig to find out just what they really
teach.
The fact is,
any ministry that has not seen through the so called "Star of David"
fraud, and continues to display the wretched symbol, whose denunciation
resulted in the murder of Stephen the evangelist in Acts 7:43, indicates that
ministry is so completely devoid of the truth that all should steer clear.
The
prominent presence of the Molochian Star notwithstanding, the ambiguity found in
ministries such as Sid Roth's, is usually related to the fact that they're
trying to build a consensus among disparate Spiritual factions, and clear and
coherent doctrinal statements virtually always offend people – a practice not
conducive to financial support., or broad acceptance. This is related to the
fact that Jesus said
"Think
not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a
sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law" (Matthew 10:34,35).
Like all
larger ministries, it's difficult to tell if Sid Roth personally wrote various
items in his newsletter (entitled Mishpochah), or if it was prepared by an
associate, such as Lonnie Lane, who has written dozens of articles for one of
Sid Roth's websites. However, Sid signed his name on a recent column in which
he describes the "single sin" that "releases" the LORD's
"end time" judgment on nations – and predictably, that is the sin of
"dividing" His land. Citing the prophet Joel, Roth spins his web of
deceit, clearly indicating that America will be judged for her part in attempts
to bring a lasting peace to the tinderbox which is the Middle East.
Since the
cited passage in Joel was penned centuries before Christ, and spoke of a coming
captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, Roth's sleight of hand in pushing the
prophecy into our time clearly diminishes the astounding prescience of the
prophet, who saw the events of the Roman siege, and the captivity and
dispersion of the Jews, hundreds of years before the fact.
This is part
and parcel of the Messianic fraud that claims America (or anyone else for that
matter) will be judged for her treatment of the contemporary apostate state of
Israel – thereby insinuating the famous prophecy that God will curse anyone who
curses the "seed" of Abraham applies to the modern Jews – the
foundational lie of the Spirit of Antichrist.
Don't get me
wrong: America is under judgment, but not for the reasons put forth by the
Messianics. However, that's not the central issue in the present exposition, as
this work intens to shine the light of the truth on Sid Roth.
By embracing
the monstrous fraud that physical Jewry still embodies the office of the
"chosen people" as the "seed of Abraham," Sid Roth and the
burgeoning "Messianic" movement, coupled with evangelical groups such
as John Hagee's decrepit Christians United For Israel, are finding themselves
warmly welcomed in mainstream Jewish circles.
Since the
Spirit of Antichrist has been energizing the Israelite rejection of Messiah for
centuries, The Rapture Cult, and a multitude of Messianic groups take this to
be an indicator that "all Israel" is on the verge of being saved –
thus fulfilling their corrupted version of the Gospel.
For example,
Roth recently exulted
"I
still cannot believe the great miracle God has just done! The Atlanta Jewish
Times, a major traditional Jewish newspaper , recommended their subscribers
read my Jewish evangelistic book…" (Mishpocha, #1105).
The obvious
question should be, What's wrong with this picture?
Anyone with
an ounce of Spiritual discernment knows that "traditional" Jews (a euphemism
for the Talmud-taught Semites who vehemently revile Jesus) practically spit
when someone tries to "evangelize" them , so this Spiritually null
and void generation of "Christians" assumes this new receptivity to
the supposed gospel must be prophecy being fulfilled. This is because our
entire generation has been weaned on the Rapture Cult originated concept that,
after all the "Gentiles" that are earmarked for salvation have come
into the fold, God will then move to save "all Israel" – and this
faulty assumption is the stock in trade of virtually all Messianic groups.
It is an
increasingly rare believer who can see through the charade, and realize that
Messianic Jews have now found just the right admixture of truth and fiction to
allow them to appeal this generation of collective Jewry.
As
previously stated, the primary lie is related to the seductive concept that
Jews are still the premier party in the LORD's great plan – at a time when God
has repeatedly declared the real Jew is the one who has left all behind (which
would include vain traditions and previous Old Covenant standing) in order to
embrace the cross.
But Sid Roth
isn't taking any chances with the fiscal health of his ministry, so he's added
a dash of the prosperity doctrine into his cauldron of Judaeo-Christian
apostasy. He writes
"…no
matter what happens to America, people who sow into the salvation of Jewish
people will be extravagantly blessed. In the midst of judgment, watch God
supernaturally protect you, your family, your income and health"
(Mishpocha, page 6, emphasis mine).
Hopefully
the reader accurately deciphered that veiled statement in Sidspeak. He just
said that if you "sow" into reaching out to Jews – the word
"sow" being synonymous with sending Sid your tax deductible donation
– God will supernaturally protect you and your "income" because you
helped the "chosen people."
Ironically,
Sid Roth is positioned to see explosive growth in his ministry, as the unholy
partnership between Jewish Supremacist factions and apostate Christianity is
prophesied to rise to unheard of heights in our time; but, as Jesus said
"What
shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul?" (Mark 8:36)
When one
digs a little deeper to get at more detailed data concerning just why
Christ-rejecting Jews are supposedly so open to the "gospel"
presented by Roth and company, we find it's because Sid has synthesized the
truth of Christ with the lie of Judaism, and produced an abomination which
maketh desolate. For instance, on Sid Roth's website, his associate Lonnie Lane
tells us that when the Holy Spirit baptized the believers in Jesus Christ at
the event called Pentecost,
"…the
event was still within Judaism…. It was Judaism fully realized when all persons
could be filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, to fully follow the
God of Israel." (Roth website, Birth Of A Nation, Birth Of A Kingdom, L
Lane, emphasis mine)
I've read
the New Testament many times, and even have copies of most of the corrupted
translations, but I've yet to find a verse that says when Jesus came into my
heart to be my Saviour, I adopted "Judaism" as my religion!
If this were
not an incorporated religion, we might suspect Roth is a master at product
branding, for he has succeeded in a serpentine mingling of attributes from both
Christianity and Judaism, and laced their wicked offspring with marketing hooks
which appeal to both. Utilizing slick slogans such as "It's
Supernatural!," and what he calls "One New Man," this
intellectual witch's brew is saturated in a syrupy love for Israel, and
seasoned with a touch of the prosperity gospel. In short, Sid Roth is a
marketing charlatan who is leading significant numbers of believers to the lake
of fire.
Over the
years, we've learned the key to the many permutations of the Antichrist's
offerings is always related to the racist Jewish primacy found in Judaism.
Thus, in Roth's aberrant approach, every aspect of his version of end time's
events is predicated on the identification of Jewish people, and the present
political state of Israel, as "the apple of God's eye" – i.e. the
"chosen people."
So called
"Messianic Jews" invariably seek to subtly emphasize to their Christ
rejecting physical brethren that, if they will just come to Yeshua (Jesus),
they will realize that they are fulfilling a promise which God made that Jews
are unconditionally chosen to be drawn to the LORD. This is a deadly lie, and
as long as it remains within the hearts and souls of adherents to this
worldview, the results will always be in accord with the Spirit of Antichrist.
Indeed, in
the process of trying to build bridges between the Gospel and physical Israel,
instead of the truth being exported to the lost Jews, the leaven of the
Pharisees is regularly imported into those seeking to reach them.
As a case in
point, author Lane seeks to build rapport and relationship with lost Israelites
by sidestepping the fact that they are in a Spiritually desolate condition,
through saying the Old Covenant still has some value – but of course, they
still couple such statements with the need to know Jesus. She starts out in the
past tense:
"The
sacrifices of Israel brought forgiveness to Israel, but they did not restore
Israel to intimate fellowship with God such as born again believers enjoy"
(The New Covenant Is Jewish, L Lane).
With this
Dialectical approach, Sid Roth's spokesperson tries to sustain the relationship
with the Jews through a theological concession which asserts the Old Covenant
still has a benefit, but quickly plays to the Christians by including the
imperative that Jews still need Jesus. She then subtly shifts her Diaprax (the
practice of the Dialectic) to the present tense, and says that an Old Covenant
animal sacrifice still has some value in the here and now:
"It may
forgive individual sins, for that is what the Old Covenant sacrifices forgave,
but it still leaves them in the sin nature that would mean eternal separation
from God. Individual sins may no longer be counted against them through the
sacrifices, but only sinlessness can be in, let alone remain, God's presence
and that is only accomplished by the atonement of Yeshua. I think we can all
agree, with that information…." (The New Covenant Is Jewish, L Lane)
This is a
classic application of the Dialog to Consensus (also called Neuro-Linguistic
Programming), as highlighted in the previous quotation. For those unaware of
the now pervasive process of the Dialectic, it was refined by Karl Marx, who
drew from the earlier German philosopher Georg Immanuel Hegel (the process then
known as the Hegelian Dialectic) ; but it's most candid practitioners openly
admit their primary role model was the serpent in the Garden of Eden.
The point
is, the entire procedure is thoroughly Satanic, and it is built around the goal
of trying to move a party away from a fixed position, through the process of
Dialog, and the writings associated with Sid Roth just reek of it.
Although the
Dialectic is complex, it is useful to simply boil it down to the simple formula
that absolute truth, also seen as a fact, is subtly diminished through the
process of Dialog, which seeks to preserve the relationship.
The fact is,
Jesus Christ is the truth, and the Jewish rejection of the truth manifests the
primary lie. Emphasizing the relationship with both, Messianic Judaism seeks to
bridge the gap between the two. Ironically, this places Messianic Jews in the
role of the mediator between Christianity and Judaism – thus replacing Jesus
Christ who is the mediator between God and sinful man.
The Greek
word for "in place of" is anti –- so in every sense of the word,
Messianic Judaism is Antichrist. All of this, and much more, is accomplished
using the language of Lucifer, and Sid Roth speaks it fluently.
Thus,
whenever we encounter this process in religious circles, we've learned to
recognize the true Spiritual source. Revelation aptly describes the use of the
Dialectic in the end time's "church" with the following prophetic
imagery identified as the False Prophet:
"…he
had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon" (Revelation 13:11).
Incidentally,
many believers are unaware of the fact that a resumption of animal sacrifices
by Jews is rarely repudiated by Messianics, because they see this as a vehicle
which will help to build affinity with their Christ rejecting brethren. We have
previously documented the efforts of other supposed followers of Yeshua who
actually encourage a resumption of sacrifices among Jews, as they see this as a
small step back towards the LORD.
Thus, we
weren't surprised to find Roth's writer saying that Old Covenant animal
sacrifices "may forgive individual sins" when, in fact, a resumption
of any form of sacrifice is a giant leap into the bottomless pit.
Earlier, I
noted how the presence of the Star of Moloch (which has been definitively
linked to Saturn and other names of blasphemy, as opposed to David) is a
Spiritual Signature, which reveals the hidden nature of various ministries.
The same is
true of Dragonspeak, for whenever a supposedly Christian ministry (one that
looks lamblike) is found to be speaking with the language of Lucifer known as
the Dialectic, they have involuntarily betrayed their true nature.
There are
dozens of other examples of Dragonspeak in the various writings found on Sid
Roth's website and print materials, and the Dialectic is widely utilized. Of
course this group is hardly novel, as we live in the time of the long prophesied
Falling Away, and in previous work we've repeatedly shown the final apostasy is
a new world order, built around a consensus between Judaism and Christianity
(the so-called Judaeo-Christian religion) , with its seductive power emanating
out of the earthly city of Jerusalem.
Unfortunately,
Sid Roth and many other ministries of a similar orientation have positioned
themselves to rise along with this tide of apostasy -– but the true Remnant
believer will study the Scriptures, and they shall know the truth -- and the
voice of Sid Roth they will not follow (John 10:5).

The Israel Of God
The first time I saw this phrase, drawn from the book of Galatians, it resonated in my Spirit to the degree that I realized the LORD was speaking to me in a way that is profoundly prophetic.
These words were written by the Apostle Paul to the Christians at Galatia, and when I came to understand the circumstances of just why the Holy Spirit moved on Paul to reference the Christians as “the Israel of God,” I learned a very valuable lesson. It is my desire to share this teaching with the reader. Certainly, a bit of context is in order.
Due to the religious conditioning which has come to dominate most of the denominations and Christian fellowships over the last century, most believers see themselves as members of the so-called “church,” as opposed to the unique title Paul used to describe the saved in the following passage:
“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision [being an Israelite] availeth anything, nor uncircumcision [being a Gentile], but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16).
To phrase this in the simplest language possible, the Apostle Paul is saying being Jewish is worth nothing, and being Gentile is worth nothing, because whatever you were before, in Christ you are now “a new creature,” and this new body of believers is called “the Israel of God.”
The Gospel That Paul Preached
To see how Paul could come to believe the Christians have somehow become Israel, we must go back to the earliest days of his ministry, and this is found in the book of Acts. Because Paul was an expert on the prophets, after he was converted to Christianity, he realized he understood many things that were prophesied about Christ, and he found himself teaching the Christians such things in Antioch in Pisidia.
As in other cities, he continued to receive huge resistance from the Jews, largely because they accurately perceived this new religious development threatened their standing as the chosen of God. This was also because of what had occurred in Caesarea. Shortly after Paul encountered Christ, and began to proclaim Jesus as the Messiah, Peter went into a trance sent by the LORD, in which he was told to preach Jesus to the Gentiles. Up until that time, the disciples had preached exclusively to the Jews:
“Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled…preaching the word to none but the Jews only” (Acts 11:19).
However, when word reached the disciples the Holy Spirit had baptized a group of Gentiles in Caesarea in the presence of Peter, and the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem had glorified God that the Gentiles were to be included in the salvation of Jesus Christ, the scattered Christians began to preach to the Greeks, with great success.
“And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed” (Acts 11:21).
Everywhere the Christians went, they would preach to the Jews first, and then the Gentiles. Although they did see periodic conversions to Christ among individual people of Jewish descent, a significant turning point occurred when Paul was in Antioch and the Gentiles came to the LORD in wholesale numbers.
Paul concluded his sermon in the synagogue to the Jews by quoting a rather pointed verse from Habakkuk, who prophesies how the Jews will not only refuse to hear the truth concerning Christ, the prediction also hints that their rejection will be related to the inclusion of the Gentiles into the salvation of Yahweh:
“Behold ye among the heathen [read Gentiles], and regard, and wonder marvelously, for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you” (Habakkuk 1:5).
At Antioch, Paul had preached to the Jews first, because Jesus had said from the very beginning that He was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. When it became self evident the LORD chose to include the Gentiles in His New Covenant with the house of Israel, Paul and the other Apostles responded with joy:
“When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life” (Acts 11:18).
The Gentiles Are Born Again As Israel
As the door of salvation opened to the Greeks, the Romans, and other nations of the world, some of the Jews responded to the New Testament of Jesus Christ; but most refused to allow the Spirit of the Lord to move them into the place they needed to go to receive salvation. Oddly enough, at Antioch, the text does not record any firm Jewish rejection of the Gospel when Paul first presented the way of salvation to them. It was as if there was no reaction at all.
Surely Paul sensed this apathy in his Spirit, for the lengthy account in Acts tells us he closed his sermon with a very abrasive paraphrase of the previously cited verse from Habakkuk:
“…therefore…through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins…Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you” (Acts 13:38,40,41).
Antioch was clearly a turning point, for it was there that Paul began to connect the prophecies concerning Israel’s rejection of the Gospel with the inclusion of the Gentiles to the house of Israel. The reader will recall that it was in Antioch when, after preaching Jesus to the Jews,
“…the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together…” (Acts 13:42).
The Gentile Prodigal Son Is Received By The Father
It is at this stage that we see the element of envy seems to crystallize the as-yet unspoken Antiochian hostility towards the Gospel. As Paul preached to the entire city, we see how the Jews were moved with jealousy at the explosive popularity of Christianity:
“But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming” (Acts 13:45).
As usual, Paul’s reaction was to again cite from the prophets, but this time, he quoted a prophecy concerning Israel, and applied it to the Christian believers – a clear indicator he saw the body of Christ as what he would later call “the Israel of God.”
“…it was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou should be for salvation unto the ends of the earth” (Acts 13:46,47).
Paul is quoting from Isaiah, and the verse in question is, without a doubt, speaking of what the prophet calls “the preserved of Israel,” who are to be “a light of the Gentiles.” With this citation, Paul makes a profound public declaration concerning the doctrine of the identity of Israel, as he plainly identifies this prophecy as applying to the believers in Christ – the “us” in the verse – in sharp contrast to the Jews who Paul says have “judged [themselves] unworthy of everlasting life” (Acts 13:46).
What this means quite simply is that Paul understood, and publicly stated, that the promises made to Israel were fulfilled in the body of Spiritual “Israel,”an identity he referred to as “us” – i.e. the Christians. To put it bluntly, the Christians are the only saved Israel seen in the New Testament.
The transition concludes when Christ rejecting physical Israel, joins with the Christ rejecting physical Gentiles, to attack the single Spiritual entity that was born again as Spiritual Israel.
“But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them they were ware of it, and fled….” (Acts 14:2,5,6).
You Must Be Born Again
The reconfiguration of Israel was complete, for what could be called Spiritual Israel, or Born Again Israel, comprised of former Jews and former Gentiles, was being attacked by physical Jews and physical Gentiles, who had joined together to oppose the Gospel.
At this point, it’s useful to remind the reader that the New Testament cogently tells us that there is no difference between physical Jews or physical Gentiles in Christ:
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (II Corinthians 5:17).
This means that if any man is not in Christ, he is what he was – an unsaved Jew or an unsaved Gentile. We note that the two components of Anti-Israel, comprised of Christ rejecting Jews and unregenerate Gentiles form one body – those who are not saved. On the opposite side of the spectrum, we see the two components of “the Israel of God,” comprised of former Jews and former Gentiles who now form “a new creature” -- those who are saved.
Because most Christians have been taught they have become members of the so-called “church” (a word that simply means an assembly), the Roman Catholic concept of the “church” replacing Israel came about. The Rapture Cult, realizing the Old Testament promises to Israel must be fulfilled in Israel, then came up with the idea of rotating salvation (the “church” is saved, gets raptured, and then Israel gets redeemed), but both systems are fatally flawed.
No matter how you slice it, the only saved entity in Scripture is Israel, and the Apostle Paul clearly articulated the body of Christian believers is one body, comprised of former Jews and former Gentiles, who have been born again as a new creation – The Israel Of God.
