The bible talks a great deal about the great battle between the followers of Satan and the followers of Christ and it's prophets predict huge wars.  Prophets after the bible also talk of a great chastisement.  In the past four years I have believed this to be a war between Christians and governments, especially since the first world war and the remnants of communism in American socialist laws and European socialism.  What I did not know is who was really behind these governments changing them into anti-life and anti-God atheistic states.
I believe this study may bring me closer to the answer.  The first thing needed in fighting a war is to know who the enemy is or you will be attacking innocent people.  I now believe that even the extremist Moslem Fundamentalists are a tool of these people, just like communism was.  It is a good war tactic to create an enemy of your enemy to draw his attention away from yourself.  I now believe that the final battle has been going on since the time of Christ and maybe even from the time of Solomon.  See what you think.  Let us start with the New Testament.
I spent some time re-reading Christ's dialogue with the Pharisees and wondered what made Christ so angry at them.  Half the chapters of the gospels are a verbal and physical war between Christ and the Scribes and Pharisees.  The teachings of the Pharisees was not the teaching of Moses.  What was it?  Christ talked of their "traditions" making void the laws of Moses.  These traditions were the commentaries on scripture by the elders.  
The true Jewish faith, a prototype of the Catholic faith, was based on three things, faith in the Laws of God, Authority of the seat of Moses, and the Sacrifice of the Lambs by the Levite priests.  Faith in the Law and seat of Moses was taken away around the time of Alexander, his wife, Alexandrina and Anthony and Cleopatra.  This was a time when a sect called Pharisees became influential and took over the power of the law, not by vote or blood, but by influence with the foreign power.
Josephus, the historian,  says that the Pharisees controlled Alexandrina because she was so superstitious.  With her backing, "they became the real administrators of the public affairs: they banished and reduced whom they pleased; they bound and loosed men at their pleasure; they had the enjoyment of the royal authority."
They were the secret power behind the government.  Remember that!
This continued on till the time of Christ.  Josephus says that at the time of Christ there were three sects of Jews, the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Essens.  Of the Essens he said a few strange things: first he says that they were of the blood of Abraham and that they followed the laws of Moses (the Torah) and that using the books of Moses they made prophesies that always came to pass correctly.  If they were the blood of Abraham, who were not of the blood of Abraham?  If they used the Torah, who did not use the books of the Torah?
What really started the fall of the Jewish empire was not the Romans but the Pharisees who changed the laws of Moses. They changed them by making their own commentaries on the Law more lawful than the Torah itself. These commentaries are called their Talmud.  One law changed was the law of offerings to the temple.  Under the law of Moses anyone could offer gifts to the temple and it was from foreigners that the great temple of Solomon was built.  But the Pharisees became anti-Semitic and under Eleazar, son of Ananias, forbid Romans from offering gifts to the temple.  They would not allow any offering, sacrifice or worship by any Roman.  The Romans, who had the power, became angered and the wars began and lasted till the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.  But we are ahead of our investigation.  Let us go back to the death of Christ.
The end of the Sacrifice of the Lamb
According to Jewish law only descendents of Aaron or the tribe of Levi could offer the sacrifice of the lamb, and this was the heart and soul of the faith, as the Eucharist is to Catholics. Catholic priests are made so by the laying on of hands by the bishop, but a Jewish priest is so by blood.  Also, according to Jewish laws and traditions, the temple must be kept pure from any profanations, or must go through massive purification rituals before used again.
At the time of the Passion of Christ, Friday was the day of preparation of the lambs for the Passover and as the lambs were being washed, Christ was being scourged, and as the lambs were being dressed for the march to the temple, Christ was being Crowned with thorns, and as the lambs were being marched to the Temple, Christ carried his cross to Calvary, and as the lambs were being slaughtered, Christ hung on the cross.
But when Christ died a great earthquake took place that split the floor of the temple and tore the great curtain in two from the top to the bottom.  The inner sanctuary was opened and exposed.  The sacred holy ground, that only the high priest could enter or even see was destroyed.  No sacrifice of the lamb could be done.  Not only that but the dead bodies of the prophets were seen walking into the holy sanctuary and throughout the temple and city.   The heart and soul of the Jewish faith, the sacrifice of the lamb, was interrupted and could not be resumed until the temple was repaired and purified.
But from the time of Christ until the final destruction of Jerusalem from 70 to 73 AD, the temple was not repaired or purified because this period was marked by the wars of the Jews, first with each other and then with the Romans.
According to Jewish law and traditions there must be a temple offering in Jerusalem every year to make legal the other offerings in other Temples throughout the world.  There has been no temple in Jerusalem since the death of Christ.  According to Saint Athanasius, "Only the Antichrist will be able to re-build the Temple of Solomon."  To a Catholic the sacrifice of the lambs were only a prototype or shadow of the true sacrifice and even true Jewish Torah scribes taught that what they waited for was the prophesy of Abraham, "God will provide the lamb for the sacrifice" or "The Lamb of God will come and replace the lambs  of the old sacrifice."
After Christ 30% of the Jews saw Christ as the lamb of God and saw Christianity as the true Jewish Religion.  Pharisees, however, placed no faith in the Torah, but only in their power over the people and their influence with Rome.  The final battle started with the two factions of Jews and continues today and will continue till the end of time with the final conversion of the rest of the Jews by Henoch and Elias away from the false Christ, the Anti-Christ.

No Jewish Priests Today
"In Morocco the Jewish tradition says that we know who descend from the Levites and the tribe of Judah, but we do not know who descend really from the great priests- the "cohanim" ( the Cohen).  There was two categories of people working in the Temple: the Levites descending from Levi tribe, who were the servants of the priests who were called " Cohanim".(Cohen in plural). The priests" Cohen" descend from Aaron, So people whose name are Cohen, Kahn, Kohn, descend from Aaron, and Levi, Lévy, Lewis etc.. descend from Levi.


"What about the others? The Jewish tradition says that they are spared in the world, and, that only those who descend from the Tribe of Judah are now staying in Israël. That is what was taught to me when I was Jew, now a Catholic.

"God said via the prophets in the Bible that in spite of all the Chastisements given to the Jews during their history, a very few people will at the end escape from extermination because of His Promise done to Abraham, His Misericordial Love, and being together a Father and a Mother to His people. You know well the scriptures!

"I never studied Talmud nor Kabbalah. I studied only Rachi. The Jewish people in Morocco are  very nice and very friendly people. They, most of them, are "liberal" that is to say, they ate casher, respected  8 days Easter without eating bread but eat Matsot, respected Yom Kippour (the Great Perdon Day), and Roch Ha Chana (The Jewish New Year).
