Striking God’s Eye — The Ancient Hatred Rises Globally | Zechariah 2:8
We are witnessing a global surge of antisemitism—disguised as a fight for "human rights" and cloaked in the language of anti-Zionism. Millions now believe the lie that Jews are colonial occupiers in their own ancestral homeland, ignoring international law and the historical record—including Israel's defensive wars and 2005 withdrawal from Gaza. What most miss is that this hatred is not political—it is deeply spiritual. The same demonic hatred that fueled Pharaoh, Haman, and Hitler now fuels radical groups, international institutions, college campuses, and even churches. After October 7, 2023, anti-Jewish attacks exploded worldwide—while leaders, pastors, and denominations remained silent or, worse, sided with the enemies of Israel. This silence in the Church stems from Replacement Theology—a false teaching that God has abandoned Israel and has replaced Israel with the Church. But Scripture is clear: Israel remains God's chosen people, the land belongs to them, and one day "all Israel will be saved" (Romans 11:26) when they believe in Yeshua, the Messiah. This is a call for Christians to wake up. Anti-Zionism isn't just hatred—it's a denial of Israel's right to exist. And to deny that is to side with evil and against God. 👉 Watch to understand what's really happening and why the Church must speak the truth
