I’ve been thinking about the email you wrote about Satan persecuting the Israelites only after he was thrown out of Heaven. At first I didn’t see how it was a new thought. I thought it was something you’d already taught before. But while we were talking about it the other night, it was a real eye-opener for me to realize that Satan didn’t hate/have contempt for the Jews any more than he did any other people on the earth before the Holy Ghost came. I keep thinking about that. Satan had one goal in mind, that being, he wanted law and order and if you weren’t following the law, then he had contempt for you no matter who you were, Jew or Gentile. So before the Holy Ghost Satan prosecuted (was the accuser of) the Jews who did not follow the law. And after the Holy Ghost came he persecuted anyone that represented Jesus in any form (the culture Jesus came from – the Jews – or the people Jesus gave the Spirit to). He didn’t have the accuser job anymore, and he was filled with hate.
