In Romans 11, Paul is proclaiming that even though Israel rejected Jesus, that doesn’t mean God’s plan of redemption was thwarted. Instead, it was spread to the nations and the once-severed relationship between God and His creation was reconciled in Jesus. That’s real good news. However, the news gets even better, Paul looks ahead prophetically to that day when Jesus will return

Looking forward to 2026, one wonders if the focus will remain on Israel. Truly, there is no reason why it will not, and, in fact, everything seems to indicate that Israel will be even more of a focal point in the coming year. The real question is: Will it be a focal point or a thorn in the flesh? This all depends on your worldview.
Whether talking about hate-filled nations of the Middle East that surround Israel, the metropolitan areas of Europe and Asia, or even in the United States of America, like in the case of Australia, governments are ignoring the anti-Semitism that’s growing at an astonishing rate. The terrorists perpetrating these deadly assaults are almost, it seems, being given governmental permission to do their dastardly evil. There is, to those of us who observe from the biblical perspective, the undeniable fact that Jews are being shown the door to exit these hostile cities and countries.
The Australian Jewish News reported that Mr Albanese had also been at a Canberra rally in 2000, referring to him as a “pro-Palestinian Labor MP.” Sadly, as it is now, so it was then. Synagogues were vandalised in both Sydney and Canberra (the locations of the two rallies), and Jewish families were advised to avoid public displays of faith.
Where did Australia go wrong? In part, 25 years ago. Anthony Albanese failed Australia’s Jewish community in 2000, and he failed them again in 2025. By God’s mercy, may this be the last of his failures.
Over the years, Republicans and Democrats have shown both support for Israel and distaste for it. Pro-Jewish history runs side by side with virulent anti-Semitism. Yet despite these problems, Jewish people always have called America the Goldina Medina, Yiddish for the “Golden Land,” because they have been allowed to flourish here. So what is America’s future?
They either say that God’s promise to Abraham was conditional or that it was only spiritual or that it was all part of a grand scheme to do a “God’s chosen” quick swap with the advent of the church age. This doctrine continues to spread rapidly through the body of Christ, and it is not new. There have been many in the history of the church who have been doing all they can to erase the ongoing importance of Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters at a press conference on Monday that the Jewish State is closely monitoring military exercises being conducted by the Iranian regime, underscoring large-scale repercussions for “any action against Israel” taken by Tehran. “We are following this and doing all the necessary preparations,” Netanyahu stressed. “I want to convey this clearly to Iran: Any action against Israel will be met with a very severe response.”
While the global spotlight on Australia is forcing the government to take long-overdue action to better protect the Jewish Community, the problem may be much more difficult to confront than leaders realize. Dean Dwyer underscored that his country and other Western nations remain "blind to the true source of antisemitism," and as a result, also blind to the cure.
By now, I am sure you are all aware of the terrorist act perpetrated against Sydney’s Jewish community on the first night of Hanukkah in the iconic Sydney suburb of Bondi Beach. The warnings issued by Australia’s Jewish community since October 7 had largely been ignored by our ruling class. Now, we see the heartbreaking result of ignoring those warnings. Jewish men, women and children are dead, Jewish shops intend to close permanently for security reasons, and an entire community is in mourning.
Satan will always have a special hatred for the Jews that is greater than his hatred for all other people, and that hatred will continue to express itself all the way into the Tribulation period as we see in the Book of Revelation. And anywhere you see anti-Semitism in the world, whether you see it in a nation, whether you see it in a city, whether you see it in a religion, whether you see it in an individual heart, or whether we see it in our own hearts, you are witnessing something that is demonic.
Sadly, this is the consequence of a government and a culture that has let antisemitism run amok. Violent anti-Jewish protests are not rare in Australia, and law enforcement does little to stop it. Jew-haters are emboldened to strike out, even to the point of protesting at a memorial for the victims of the Bondi Beach attack. Antisemitism has been normalized in Australia, and I don’t believe the government has the will or the backbone to counter it. That is why I am calling on all Jews who live in Australia to come to your ancestral home in Israel. You will be welcomed with open arms, and you will finally feel safe once again.
A chilling video circulating online shows a young woman being pinned against the floor of an airport as Spanish police place her in handcuffs, manhandling her in the process. The video has drawn condemnation not only because of what it shows, but also because of what led to the incident: the removal of 44 French Jewish teenagers the woman was supervising from a European flight, allegedly for the crime of speaking Hebrew.
Indeed, we are well beyond the 1930s and 40s! The archenemy of the Jews is also the archenemy of God, who loves the Jewish people. Satan knows the details of how God is about to reveal Himself to Israel in the final chapter of His saga on the human race. This has prophetic implications that do not end well for Satan (Zechariah 12:10, Romans 11:26). It is written and irreversible. In an almost "human" flawed behavior, Satan is telling the Jews, "If I go down, you're going down with me!" Satan is hate personified, and he injects his hatred into people to use them in fulfilling his agenda. So, we have the Sydney massacre, October 7, and the Holocaust, and the sad reality of the days we live in is that there will be more.
Before taking his own life on April 30, 1945, Adolf Hitler appointed Admiral Karl Dönitz, commander of Germany’s U-boat fleet, as his successor. Hitler knew that World War II was lost and betrayal among his leadership surrounded him. He turned to Dönitz, a man he regarded as disciplined, loyal, and untainted by the corruption of the Nazi inner circle, to defend what remained of the collapsing Reich. Instead, when Hitler died, Dönitz accepted reality: The Nazis were beaten.
The Liberty’s revival reflects Owens and Carlson’s desperation to turn the American people against Israel, because Israel accidentally attacked this U.S. warship. Sadly, Americans who follow Owens did not hear the truth about what happened. Instead, they heard Phil Tourney, an embittered Liberty survivor, blend his experience of the attack with half-truths, outright lies, and antisemitic conspiracy theory.
The deeper we look at this man, the more apparent it becomes that while he says the right words, his actions betray him. He is playing the Muslim long game, similar to the “soft takeover” that Islam has carried out in Europe. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and I hope that President Donald Trump and other world leaders have enough insight to see him for who he really is. Al-Sharaa’s soft takeover is indicative of Islam’s global strategy. The clearest sign of this is in Europe where Muslim violence is blending with the vicious nature of the radical left to steal the peace of the continent.
No one should be shocked that Hamas is refusing to disarm. And yet, many in the West are surprised, obliviously believing that the terrorist group would honor Trump's peace plan. These leaders have failed to see these terrorists for who they really are: a demonic death cult.
The times of the Gentiles is coming to a close, and we rejoice to know that through God’s program of redemption and restoration, Israel will hold the preeminent position amongst the nations, exactly as prophesied. But we also rejoice to know that in the future Millennial Kingdom, God will make provision for believing Gentiles to enjoy the rich spiritual and material blessings which will flow from Jerusalem because the King’s throne will be there.
While God gives Israel the knowledge to greatly develop and advance, especially their defense capabilities, a day is coming when the world will behold an even greater display. God Himself stands in Israel's defense and destroys all those who rise up against her. That will be the ultimate weapon that Israel will possess—the Lord God of Israel.
Unfortunately for the prosecution, the already weak case is now deteriorating by the day. Everyone in the country sees it for what it is, but there are still enough Netanyahu haters amongst the citizens and the power-drunk judicial branch of the government to keep the court case going. Thus, in the midst of a seven-front war, the Prime Minister is forced to spend three days a week in court defending himself against politically motivated drivel.
I do not want to be the bearer of bad news, but I do not think that it will make any difference whatsoever for the people who hate Israel and the Jews because they are being manipulated by Satan using the irrational and demonic Jew hatred that he invented. The truth was always available, and it still is, maybe even more so, but antisemites do not want to be bothered with the facts. Will it help Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, or Nick Fuentes revise their positions? I doubt it!
X, formerly known as Twitter, released an update aimed at boosting transparency on its platform, revealing the country or region from which an account operates. It is a simple change, but one that has already proven fruitful, exposing widespread deception that is fueling global hatred against God's chosen people. Dozens of accounts that claim to be "eyewitnesses" of the war in Gaza have turned out to be operating from countries like Pakistan, Poland, the United Kingdom, and even Southeast Asia.
Considering the incitement of children, the pay-for-slay program, and numerous other anti-Israel actions by the PA, it is absolutely ludicrous that the world pressures Israel to make peace with these people. One thing is certain: hatred for Israel is not just a "Hamas thing." The majority of the Palestinians carry that same demonic hatred for the Jewish state.
God promised through the prophets that He would return the Jewish people to the land of Israel. This promise is reiterated over and over in the Scriptures, which makes the Bible a very Zionist book… so does that mean God is racist too? Nothing could be further from the truth.
Antisemitism has precipitated some of the most horrific atrocities in world history. Slavery, property confiscation, forced conversions, military crusades, libels, confinements, beatings, torture, persecution, and genocide all have dogged the footsteps of God’s Chosen People for millennia. But there’s another form of Jew-hatred and ethnic cleansing they’ve also experienced: forced displacement, or expulsion.
Today, believers take two approaches to Islam: either fearing it as the ultimate end-times threat or downplaying it like any other religion. Both miss the mark completely. To understand why, we need to examine what's actually happening in our world and what the Bible really teaches about the end times.
Roosevelt's presidency would be cut short by a fatal cerebral hemorrhage. The Presidential term, which stretched to 1949, would be handed over to another. His death placed Vice President Harry Truman in the position of Commander-in-Chief for the remainder of the term, during which time, the hour of decision would come for the United States regarding a Jewish State. The decision would not be uncomplicated, sparking a firestorm in Washington, DC.
In the aftermath of that horrific day on Oct. 7, I walked through a kibbutz where walls were spattered with the blood of women and children. I stood at the site of the Nova music festival and felt the weight of knowing that American policy decisions helped create the conditions that allowed such evil to flourish. I led the delegation I was with in a prayer of repentance for what America allowed. I am determined not to remain silent while new seeds are being planted that could yield an even darker harvest.
Iran is facing a mounting crisis, one that is driving their nation to the brink of disaster. This disaster is not the result of Israel or the United States dropping bombs on Iran, nor the result of crippling sanctions. The catastrophe Iran is facing is an unprecedented drought. The skies are shut up, the clouds are dry, the reservoirs are empty, the land is parched, and catastrophe looms.
God says in Zechariah 2:8 that whoever touches Israel "touches the apple of His eye." There are numerous scriptures that I could mention which point to God keeping His promise to Israel, but perhaps the strongest of all is Exodus 4:22, which states, "Thus says the Lord: Israel is My son, My firstborn." Lila, you have done an incredible job championing the pre-born, but God doesn't turn his back on His "firstborn."
I can still remember some of the brilliant memes that came out following President Trump’s first term visit to Saudi Arabia. He was welcomed in Riyadh with a hero’s pomp, very different from the reception Joe Biden received. When Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman came to the White House Tuesday, Trump returned the honor. Why would the president of the most powerful nation on earth roll out the red carpet to this extent to a crown prince?
Marxists, including Bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, would explicitly refer to this initial stage of communism, immediately following revolution against the capitalist system, as “socialism.” Marx and Engels never refer to socialism as an entirely different ideology from communism but instead treat it as the early transition between capitalism and communism.
The boycott/pogrom of Jewish synagogues, schools, businesses, and homes, resulting in the death of almost 200 Jewish people and the destruction of 7,500 properties, was well planned and anything but a reaction to the death of a German official. Additionally, 30,000 Jewish people were sent to concentration camps. Ethical historians agree that Kristallnacht was the onset of the Holocaust, shifting nazi antisemitism from mere rhetoric to pure violence.
