Antisemitism and the Antichrist
Revelation 16:14-16 They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty...Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
Everything that is happening in our world today is so plainly conditioning the people of the world for the Antichrist. When the Antichrist steps onto the earth's stage, the world will be ready and waiting for him.
If the war in Gaza has done anything, it has uncovered the horrible antisemitism all over the world. From the 4 corners of the earth, millions of people have risen up to express their disdain for the Jews. The Anti-Defamation League has catalogued a 400% increase in antisemitic incidents in the US alone since October 7.
As Christians we have eyes to see that this is nothing more than a 'demonic-hatred.' Satan hates the Jewish state because the Jews are God's chosen people. The Jews gave us the savior of the world, Jesus Christ. The Jews gave us the holy scriptures, which is the Word of God. Satan vehemently hates the Jews! And this obviously so evil desire to wipe out the Jews goes all the way back to bible times. From Haman to Hitler, Satan has inspired evil leaders to try and rid the earth of the Jewish people, but have failed.
Sadly, the world's disdain and violence against the Jews will only grow worse. The war in Gaza has released a fury against the Jewish people that cannot be curbed. As Christians, we should be praying for their protection and safety like never before.
However, here is what I want us to realize: the antisemitism in our world is only conditioning our world for the Antichrist. The bible tells us that when he arrives on the world stage, he will hate the Jews more than any person in history. His mission given to him by Satan himself will be to exterminate every single Jew on the face of the earth. Under the guise of peace he will make a 7 year peace treaty with the Israeli state, promising protection from her enemies. However, 3 1/2 years later he will break that agreement, proclaim himself to be God, set his throne in the temple, and then turn his wrath upon the Jews. At the end of the 7 year tribulation, he will even go so far as to unite the nations of the world and march upon Jerusalem, with the ultimate intention being to kill every Jew on the planet.
We know by the scriptures the Antichrist's attempt will fail. Jesus will return with His Saints and destroy the armies of the Antichrist. It is then every surviving Jew will receive Him as their Messiah.
With all that being said, my point is that antisemitism is one of the primary pieces in the last days.
Until Christ's return, it will only grow worse. Like everything else, it is setting the stage for the rise of the Antichrist.
I know this blog brings up questions. I will try and answer them in later blogs. Right now, just understand the antisemitism that is across the world today is one of the signs of the end times. The bible makes it clear that in "the last days" antisemitism will be wide-spread across the globe.
