1,200 innocent victims, including very young children and the elderly, the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack was the highest Jewish death toll since the Holocaust. The aftermath of the attack has polarized the world. Israel is the polarizing factor.
It took less than a week for the world to take sides either with Israel or with the Palestinians, not to mention Hamas. The mere fact that some “civilized” people would even consider siding with Hamas and their bloody carnage is a mystery to me, but it is a reality nevertheless. Within a week of the massacre, the number one topic was no longer the terrorist attack but Israel’s response to the attack in the form of Gaza ground operations to eradicate Hamas.
The issue of Israel is quickly and globally becoming a dividing factor. We are witnessing people chanting, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine shall be free!” on university campuses, public places and even government places. The vast majority of young people chanting that motto do not even know its meaning. In the search for what they believe is social justice, they become blinded to the truth and misguided by historical revisionism. Unbeknownst to them, they are calling for a complete genocide of the Jewish people. They are promoting a 21st-century version of “The Final Solution to the Jewish Question.”
In the End times–which we are very quickly approaching–the entire world will gang up against Israel. Zechariah 12:3 says, “It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.” Taken literally and in context, this simply means that eventually, the whole world will go against the Jews and Israel without exception, at least corporately. It doesn’t mean that every single human being will become an enemy of the Jews, but rather that every country and/or government will become Israel’s enemy, while some of the people within might remain friendly to the Jewish state. The result will be the same and can be found just a few verses later in Zechariah 12:9, “And in that day I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem,” when God vows to avenge Israel and destroy all of her enemies.
