There is no question that the weed of antisemitism has grown exponentially since October 7, to the point of choking the truth about Israel and the Jewish people. Can this weed be killed? Can the truth be restored?

Israel’s ongoing efforts to achieve this are both just and righteous.  Despite this, hundreds – perhaps even thousands – of people working in our federal government remain so blinded by the progressive narrative of Palestinian victimhood that they cannot call terrorists what they are.

Satan is the culprit behind the current hatred of the nations for the Jewish people. He is “the prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:1), and his dominance over the affairs of the nations is becoming more apparent with each passing day.

I want to look at eight areas of conflict or potential conflict that involve a very large percentage of Europe, Asia, and North America, and examine what has taken place in each situation just this past week.

How and why would they give up the good life in the West, a life of prosperity and comfort, and go back to the land of Israel? Then came this headline in The Times of Israel during the Israel-Hamas war: Dear Diaspora Jews: It’s Over.

We might also ask why it was necessary to choose just one nation. The answer to this question unveils God’s wisdom in His choice of one people through whom He would both reveal and fulfill His redemptive purposes for humanity.

People are now tired of the silence of the shepherds. Perhaps this is the next big church divider. Churches will either be for Israel, or against her. Which side will you be on?

This recent tragedy of the black Shabbat massacre is a date and set of images that should never be forgotten. Some of the murdered included women and men, now in their 90s, who had survived the Holocaust as children.

It turns out that hundreds of teachers employed by the United Nations Reliefs and Works Agency (UNWRA) actively celebrated the Hamas attacks on October 7th and, in some instances, took pride in having influenced them.

Despite Palestinian propaganda and lies, the Jewish people will continue to live and thrive in their land—the Land God gave them.

NATO already has plans regarding the bases and the different places they're going to hit in Yemen if these attacks are not stopped. Approximately 10% of the world's shipping goes through this hotspot.

We’ve been at the pointy end of the world’s swords before, yet here we are, united and stronger as a people than we have ever been. The credit for that fact does not have a human source, but One which is divine in nature.

Most of us have never been viscerally hated for who we are. We have not lived alongside people who proclaim their greatest aspiration is to eradicate our nation and our families. Welcome to the reality of Israeli Jews.

The minute she let out that a genocide of the Jewish people depended on the context was the minute she should have resigned or been fired, period. Both Miss Gay and the Harvard board dug their heels. They wouldn’t address the elephant in the room: antisemitism.

AI, China's impact on global events, upcoming elections, major developments in Israel, and many more events are shaping the world in 2024.

Your past, present, and future, in regard to sin and a relationship with God, all happen in that golden triangle. That's why the Land of Israel matters, and this is what the Bible describes.

We are sorrowful, wounded, and heartbroken. But we are not defeated. In fact, it is just the opposite. The Israeli people are filled with a scowling, jaw-clenched determination that should have those who are set on harming us running deeper into their tunnels.

If only the thousands of Hamas sympathizers who paraded here at home and other countries could have seen what I saw, perhaps they would realize that Hamas is nothing more than evil, wicked men who are bent on killing as many Jews as they possibly can, ever seeking to eradicate the state of Israel.

The world has been in an uncontrollable rage since October 7, 2023. We are witnessing global Israel Derangement Syndrome and renewed anti-Semitism more brutal than the 1930s. And towards whom is the rage directed? Towards those who were invaded, slaughtered, and kept as hostages.

The attack wasn’t about land. Israel had given all of Gaza to the Arabs in 2005. Not one Jew lived in Gaza. The goal of Oct. 7 was simple: Kill as many Jews as possible.

Only about a quarter of American Christians say the Bible influences their views on Israel as the Israel-Hamas war continues after the Oct. 7 attack on civilians in southern Israel killed over 1,200 and prompted an Israeli military offensive in Gaza. 

Being fully immersed in news of the massacre of October 7 and its long-reaching aftermath has been difficult enough. But to witness the widespread antisemitism, lies, fake news, and conspiracy theories makes it at times almost unbearable.

Being a bystander in that situation would be bad enough, but I fear that many people are also turning into perpetrators and that 2023 will be remembered as the year that changed everything for Israel AND for our civilization.

To understand prophecy, we should not start in the middle of the Book—with Ezekiel and Daniel—or at the end with Revelation. No, we should begin at the beginning—with Genesis.

God was certainly angry with His people, but biblical prophecy makes it clear that in the end times, God would indeed return the Jewish people to the very Land which He promised them by covenant.

The delusion is incredibly strong. We are feeling the soon rise of the antichrist. His spirit is already here. People’s gullibility to the lies of the enemy will only increase as time goes on. Our blessed hope is our soon rapture.

When the Bible is considered as a whole, Scripture makes clear that God Himself promised to bring the Jewish people back from the four corners of the globe to the Land of Israel.

"These are people's homes," Bachmann said in disbelief. "This isn't supposed to be a battlefield. This is where little children rode bikes and went to see their grandparents."

Historically, rising antisemitism has been an indicator that a culture has lost its moral compass, and we would do well to remember that the first German institutions to embrace Nazi ideology enthusiastically – in particular, its vile antisemitism – were the cultural elite at its vaunted universities.

Following in the trail of some of her own students who couldn’t find any valid reason to condemn Hamas for raping, naming, burning, and beheading innocent Israeli civilians, Ms Gay couldn’t condemn Hamas when confronted with the question...

Which generation was Jesus talking about when he said, “this generation shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:34)? He was speaking of the generation that will see the fig tree come back to life.

The Palestinians in our region and around the world have ceased masking their intentions to annihilate Israel. They have laid down the gauntlet – it is them or us. We did not ask for this fight.

The world finds excuses to hate Jews. People across the globe are blaming individual Jews for Israel’s war on Hamas. Even Jews who do not support the invasion of Gaza are being blamed for it.

Beginning in the late 1800s, increasing throughout the first half of the 20th Century (despite British resistance), and swelling into a flood in the past 75 years, Jews have indeed been streaming back to Israel—from the four corners of the earth.

Now, why such hatred of Satan toward Israel? What if God's plan to redeem the world required the existence and continuance of that nation?

It is amazing to me that the evidence, much of it filmed by Hamas themselves, can be so great, yet they can still say that it never happened. Similar to the three monkeys, they see no evil and hear no evil.

Between the three locations, around 150 pastors, leaders, and local believers—including many women whose husbands and sons are serving their country on the front lines—came to grow in their ability to comfort those around them and offer God’s peace.

But, witnessing the fulfillment of Moses’ prophecy regarding the wandering, outcast, despairing Jew, Gentiles too readily accepted the lie that God had washed His hands of the Jewish people.

After the October 7th Hamas terror attacks, the Biden Administration and most congressional Democrats stood with Israel to a surprising degree. But today that resolve has begun to crack.

That’s right… if you hate Israel, you hate the God of Israel! As a Christian, you cannot be in God’s will to bring Him glory and hate His chosen people.

Psalm 121:4 promises, "He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep." God has seen Israel through many trials in its history, including the Holocaust and three wars in the twentieth century. This is a horrible time, but God's going to get them through.

The attacks on Hamas were the worst acts of antisemitic violence perpetrated since the Holocaust.  Pressuring Israel to now sign a long-term ceasefire would only encourage future attacks like those we saw on October 7. 

Modern Israel was born in 1948, and in my lifetime, tensions between Arabs and Israelis have erupted into battle at least seven times, including the Six-Day War in 1967.

For the most part, the sympathy other nations felt for Israel as a result of the October 7 attack has run its course. It’s now turning back to antisemitism, as usual.

It could well prove to be the worst of all the wars Israel has experienced, especially if it blossoms into a regional conflagration. But Scripture tells us that Israel will overcome all these challenges to its existence...

Satan, the devil, was at the nucleus of the Nazi-engendered Holocaust of the 1930s. He is at the heart of the genocide being called for by many of America’s college students and much of the world’s populace today.

Israel is the major focus of End Time Bible prophecy. That’s the reason that the re-establishment of the nation in the 20th Century was so important. That event signaled the fact that we are now living in the end of the end times.

You can’t tell the players without a printed program, and that would be the Bible—the most accurate chronicler of world events we could have ever been given! Jesus is coming—perhaps today!

In the famed passage of Genesis 12:3, we see a warning of curses followed by a promise of blessings which still stands true and is manifesting itself today.

Across the Middle East, children are taught to call the founding of Israel on May 14, 1948, “the Nakba,” or catastrophe. Their teachers depict Jews as violent usurpers of the land. Today in the United States and other western nations, educators are using those same lies on our children.

In the Palestinian terrorist mind, they know that Israelis value life and want to see their fellow citizens safe. They’ll do almost anything to see it happen. They’ll even stop fighting when they are on the verge of decimating Hamas.

This temporary peace is just another peace agreement and a long line of truces and treaties paving the way for the peace that the Antichrist will bring when he comes onto the world scene.

Full Speech — "Gaza will no longer constitute a threat to Israel. We will restore security in both the south and the north. We are winning and will continue to fight until absolute victory."

“For the good of regional stability and to avoid further escalation, the next session of the UN Security Council must adopt a totally different approach in order to end the dangerous violations by Hezbollah and other terrorist groups on the border"

The Bible says in Psalm 83, "They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance."

Two key events lead to the regathering of the Jewish people back to the Promised Land: World War I and World War II. World War I prepared the land for the people. World War II prepared the people for the land.

Israeli Jews and Christians are also actively fighting a media establishment – a media “Goliath,” if you will – who appear to have no moral or ethical compass whatsoever.

The IDF has destroyed more than 90 government institutions and buildings, levelling the corrupt leadership infrastructure. Throughout Gaza, in place of the Hamas flag, the blue and white of Israel is now flying.

The saints in early seventeenth-century England believed what they read in the Old Testament regarding the restoration of Israel and believed without seeing any evidence that it would happen.

God has not turned a blind eye toward Israel. It is just the opposite. The truth that the Jews are His chosen people and Israel is His chosen land tells me that He is intimately involved in what is happening in this country each and every day.

Many looking at what's happening today are saying that when the chaos and conflict are finally over, people will be clamoring and yearning for peace, and it will make peace even more likely than before.

According to Ezekiel 38, Russia and Iran will one day lead a coalition of nations in a massive assault against Israel. God will intervene on Israel’s behalf — not with iron dome missile interceptors, but with His own mighty hand. 

People need to wake up to the fact that many Western leaders are not committed to liberty and freedom as you and I know it. They have been influenced by Marxist principles and are leading their compliant populations into very dangerous territory.

Through all of this we need to understand that if, as some claim, God has cast Israel off forever because of their disobedience, then Jesus would have forfeited the right to sit on David’s throne, and biblical prophecy would be a lie.

In the Middle East, we do not speak a language of appeasement but of power. The U.S. needs to show their strength in Syria and Iraq or the attacks will only intensify.

I often warned people that things would get very dicey for the Jewish people at some point in the future, but frankly, I never thought that I would witness this level of hatred and bloody violence in my lifetime.
