Jewish and Christian holy places are repeatedly targeted by Muslim settlers, such as the Tomb of Rachel near Bethlehem, the Tombs of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Lea, and Rebecca in Hebron, the Tomb of Josef in Shechem (Nablus) and many others,” the Rev. Petra Heldt, a leading Christian scholar who has resided in Israel for 40 years, told Fox News Digital.
“It is a consistent pattern that shows that there is a wish to eliminate the existence of Jewish and Christian history in Eretz Israel, the historic land of the Jewish people. Therefore, this holy place must be secured, like other holy places in Israel, from Palestinian vandalism.”
In early November, the European Union condemned what it called a “spike of antisemitic incidents across Europe [which] has reached extraordinary levels in the last few days, reminiscent of some of the darkest times in history.”

“We have seen a resurgence of antisemitic incidents and rhetoric in the European Union and worldwide: Molotov cocktails thrown on a synagogue in Germany, stars of David sprayed on residential buildings in France, a Jewish cemetery desecrated in Austria, Jewish stores and synagogues attacked in Spain, demonstrators chanting hate slogans against Jews,” a Nov. 5 statement from the European Commission reads.
The fact that God’s nation Israel has been subjected to such intense hatred ever since God established it 3500 years ago reveals that something sinister is going on. It confirms that there is, as Scripture tells us, spiritual warfare is raging on Earth and in heaven.
Even before Israel went into the promised land Moses prophesied their entire history with the Song of Moses (Deuteronomy 31:30-32:47). It reveals they would be driven out of the land and scattered throughout the nations for their disobedience. Moreover, it reveals an aspect of God’s character that most of us do not want to know, God’s judgement, and God’s wrath, and it reveals the truth of the statement that the beginning of wisdom is to fear God.
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding.” Psalms 111:10
Jeremiah reveals that in the “last days” just before Jesus returns there will be another time of great distress (unparalleled horror) for the Jews when they will for a third time be taken from their land into captivity as they were by the Assyrians and Babylonians. We know what is coming so we can use these scriptures in Apocalyptic evangelism.
“Alas! That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7
Malachi calls it “the great and terrible day of the Lord”.
“At that time shall arise, Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.” Daniel 12:1
