Sephardim Among Latinos?
--A Controversial Concern --
Right off the bat, I'll admit that what I've got to say is controversial. This is possibly due because of all the talk on the media regarding Latinos and issues on immigration. However, I will immediately admit that I am a 3rd generation American, thus, my grandchildren and great granddaughter are 5th and 6th generation Americans. In fact, way before Texas was a State and way before the Battle of the Alamo, our forefathers were already in this land-just so that you'd know where I'm coming from.
For half a millennium, Hispanic-Latinos have survived sinister strategies of false labels. In the recent past, amazing apocalypses have revealed that many of them are the actual descendants of secret Jews that endured tortures, confiscations and burnings at the stake which took place all across Iberia (Spain and Portugal), Mexico and Latin America. Did you know that even New Mexico had its own Inquisition? These were the infamous holocausts known as the Inquisitions which lasted hundreds of years and hardly anyone knows much about it.
The President of the Netanya Academic College in Israel (Professor Zvi Arad) declared in June 2011 that the history of the Sephardic Anusim has been a very bloody one. He was, of course, speaking about what's been perpetrated against them and not them on others.

In the spirit of humility and faith, I appeal to each believer (Christians and Jews alike) to rethink what the Scriptures have to say about issues such the ones that lie before us right now. I would beseech each of you to cry out to the Lord and hear what He has to say and how He feels about these crucial matters we're confronted with today.
My final word for today is let's stop our ears from hearing all those negative and often time cruel reports and let's look to God Almighty and do what 2 Chronicles 7:14 says. And with this I'll close: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
