NSL: Jews possibly should not apply

Anti-Semitic graffiti

Another hint about anti-semitism in France made the news:

February 3, 2015

An advert for a graphic design job in France has been withdrawn after it said the candidate should “if possible not be a Jew”.

Racial discrimination is illegal in France and anti-racism group SOS Racisme says it is taking legal action.

The ad was posted on Monday by Paris-based NSL Studio on jobs site Graphic-Jobs.com.

NSL Studio has apologised for the ad but offered various explanations as to why it contained the offending clause.

The company was quoted on Monday by French news website Les Inrocks as saying that the hours of work, particularly during busy periods, meant the candidate should not be someone with cultural or religious needs.

NSL Studio then tweeted that its advert had been hacked and thanked those who had brought the issue to its attention. …

Announcing it was taking legal action, SOS Racisme lawyer Alexandre-M Braun said individuals had been reduced to their religious characteristics.

“Such and such cannot work with me because he is a Jew,” he said. “It is Jews who are being described as undesirable”. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31110463

While NSL is distancing itself from the ad, the reality is that many Jews do not consider that France is safe for them anymore because of the rise of antisemitism there (see France and Israel mourn terrorist deaths, while many Jews fear the rise of antisemitism in France).

The sometimes ‘legal’ way to discriminate against Jews and others that keep the seventh-day Sabbath is to claim “the hours of work, particularly during busy periods” preclude allowing someone off for the Sabbath, or in the case of the USA, that it is unfair to union workers without such restrictions.

As I have written before, it is not just Jews that are discriminated against. Throughout history, true Christians have sometimes been called “Jews” and have been subject to persecution supposedly directed towards Jews. True Christians also had to suffer through the so-called Inquisition, which utilized torture against those that had Church of God beliefs–and more is expected in the future (see Persecutions by Church and State). Protestant (see The Similarities and Dissimilarities between Martin Luther and Herbert W. Armstrong) and Eastern Orthodox (see John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople and Antisemite) leaders have also promoted antisemitism and Church of God persecution.

So it is not just physical Jews that are at risk–spiritual ones are as well (cf. Romans 2:28-29; John 15:20). NSL’s comment about “the hours of work, particularly during busy periods,” would apply to any who try to obey God. I would also add that biblically, it is not necessary to violate the Sabbath during busy periods as the following scripture supports:

21 “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest. (Exodus 34:21)

But most in the world do not have real faith in God. Neither do most who claim to be Christian.

We will see persecution will greatly increase before Jesus returns. And this will not be limited to Jews, but will include all real Christians (cf. Daniel 7:25; see also Persecutions by Church and State). The underlying anti-semitism in France and throughout the world will allow for this, especially when the time will come when the Beast’s government will mandate it (Revelation 13:15-17).
