What we are witnessing is truly frightening. In my entire lifetime, I have never seen as much hate as I have over the past few weeks. It is almost as if a very large chunk of the global population has suddenly gone mad. But of course all of this hate did not come out of a vacuum.
It has been simmering for many years, and now the war in the Middle East has brought it to the surface.
Humans were created to love and to be loved, and so if you find yourself consumed with hatred you are part of the problem. Of course we knew that this global explosion of hate would be coming. The Bible warns us repeatedly about what the condition of humanity will be like in the end times. One example of this can be found in Matthew chapter 24…
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
When Jesus spoke these words, He was speaking to Jewish believers.
And right now we are seeing a tremendous outpouring of hatred toward Jews and Bible-believing Christians all over the planet.
October 7th was not a one time thing.
Ultimately, radical Muslims will never be satisfied until they have annihilated every single person that is not willing to submit to Islam.
Even though their focus is on wiping out Jewish people living in the land of Israel right now, it will definitely not end there.
So the things that Hamas official Ghazi Hamad recently said on LBC TV should chill all of us to the core…
Ghazi Hamad of the Hamas political bureau said in an October 24, 2023 show on LBC TV (Lebanon) that Hamas is prepared to repeat the October 7 “Al-Aqsa Flood” Operation time and again until Israel is annihilated. He added that Palestinians are willing to pay the price and that they are “proud to sacrifice martyrs.” Hamad said that Palestinians are the victims of the occupation, therefore no one should blame them for the events of October 7 or anything else, adding: “Everything we do is justified.”
This is a man that has been totally consumed by hatred.
And there are millions upon millions of others just like him all over the world.
Since October 7th, we have seen an explosion of anti-Jewish acts that is truly unprecedented…
In Los Angeles, a man screaming “kill Jews” attempts to break into a family’s home. In London, girls in a playground are told they are “stinking Jews” and should stay off the slide. In China, posts likening Jews to parasites, vampires or snakes proliferate on social media, attracting thousands of “likes”.
These are examples of incidents of antisemitism, which have surged globally since the attack by Hamas gunmen on southern Israel on Oct. 7 and subsequent war on the Islamist group launched by Israel in the Gaza Strip.
Thanks to very foolish immigration policies, major cities all over the western world are now absolutely teeming with radical Muslims.
We have been warned for a long time that this would cause massive problems, and now Jewish communities everywhere are living in fear.
In France, large numbers of homes and businesses that are owned by Jewish people are being marked with paint…
France already documented 819 ‘latent’ antisemitic attacks since the war between Hamas and Israel began on October 7, according to Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin.
In Jewish homes on the outskirts of Paris, multiple blue Stars of David have been painted on homes and stone fences.
Swastikas have also been sprayed next to Jewish institutions, and students have been publicly harassed outside of Jewish schools.
Sadly, this isn’t just happening in France.
Similar things are taking place in Germany…
Recent weeks have seen Germany’s chancellor, Olaf Scholz, vow to take a “zero tolerance” approach to antisemitism, citing the responsibility towards Israel given Germany’s role as the perpetrator of the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were murdered.
Other national leaders have echoed those concerns.
In recent days Scholz has doubled down on the pledge, after assailants hurled two molotov cocktails at a synagogue in central Berlin and the Star of David was found daubed on the facades of several buildings where Jews live in Berlin.
There is no rational way to explain the intensity of this hatred.
And that is because it is spiritually inspired.
Many Christians have commented about the dark spiritual connection to everything going on and how it has a supernatural undertone to it all.
Unfortunately, what we have witnessed so far is just the beginning.
As the war in the Middle East really ramps up, I believe that we will see some truly dramatic terror attacks all over the world.
On Tuesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned members of Congress that the threat of terrorism inside the United States has reached “a whole other level”…
Terrorist threats against the U.S. reached “a whole other level” after the Hamas attack on Israel, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray told Congress on Tuesday, saying the big players in terrorism have all renewed calls to attack America and its interests.
He said the level of threats has heightened since President Biden took office, though U.S. law enforcement is “better prepared to deal with them.”
“The reality is that the terrorism threat has been elevated throughout 2023, but the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of attack on Americans to a whole other level,” Mr. Wray said.
From this point forward, things are going to start getting really crazy.
However, God warned us about all of these things in advance, He has a plan, and He is in control.
So even though darkness is rapidly growing all over the world, we should never give in to fear for greater is He who is in you than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
