A Russian Tzarist official once came to the saintly Rabbi Itzele of Volozhin and teasingly said, "You Jews say in your prayers 'All the nations will praise G-d for His kindliness done to us [Jews]'."

"Why," he then asked, "Should the nations praise G-d for the kindnesses that G-d does to the Jews?"

"Because," Rabbi Itzele responded, "You non-Jews know better than any Jew how many of you hate Jews in your own hearts, how many of you would deny to the Jews what is rightfully theirs. You in the government know how many plans for conversion, persecution and murder you have dreamt of that were so unsuccessful that no Jew ever heard of them. And you see better than any Jew how wonderously Jews thrive with the help of G-d despite your intentions."

'wideawake' has written well on the viscissitudes of this Rainbow Covenant Cult and 'hlmencken3' has here well expounded the subject of persecution, all of which must be succinctly condemned by Christians.

The Rainbow Covenant faith is indeed a flawed extension of Darbyist-Scofieldism and as such must be avoided by Christians. It also has no true kinship to Judaism but is intent on agitating and serving to aid in concert with Jewish Herodian Temple Restorationists, blasphemers all, who fail to recognise that the sacrifice ceased in Christ, see Daniel 9, Christ is our sacrifice once offered for the sins of the whole world ( a search of my 'in forum' page will reveal many extensive commentaries on this subject).

In taking the animal sacrifice of the Old Testament as atonement unto itself these persons, Jews, Rainbows and even some misguided Christians, totally miss the Gospel message of Christ's redemptive sacrifice of the cross.
