This book was gifted to me by Mark Klafter. It strikes at the heart of the "arrogant kingdom" aka, the "church" or "Christianity".
The God of Shem, The God of Israel, The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is our God. Read Ephesians Chapter 2 and understand what Paul (a Jew) is saying to the mostly gentile Ephesian gathering. You gentiles were once "not a people" but Yeshua has come and now all the nations are blessed in Abraham. (Bold, Italics, and underlined) We (gentiles) are blessed because we have been grafted in to the vine, brought in to the commonwealth of Israel. By grace, we enter into the ONE sheep pen, through the ONE Shepherd. We attain to the unity of the ONE Faith, by the ONE baptism. We repent of following our own way and choose to follow the way of the God of Israel, through the Messiah, the Anointed King of Israel, Yeshua the Messiah, pathetically and wrongly translated "Jesus Christ".
Sadly and at the cost of the humility that would have led to great blessing and would have eliminated most of the "horrible history" of Christendom, we gentiles have allowed our Japheth pride to pretend that we are somehow, different, separated from, and just slightly better than our Shem brothers. So we invent holidays to replace God ordained feasts, and we switch "worship days" based on the smallest sliver of Biblical words and twist them so hard they don't resemble anything like their original intent.
I repent for the arrogant kingdom, in the same way Daniel associated himself with his people in Daniel 9 and repented for his people, I repent for Christendom. "We have formed a terrible thing, and it has done terrible deeds and we have lost Your Way. Draw us back, Oh God of Israel, draw us back to you!"
