One of the signs that indicate we are in the Last Days is rising hatred for the Jews. Jesus, said, “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.”
In Zechariah 12:3 we read, “And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.”
We should therefore expect antisemitism to be dramatically on the rise. I collected some of the statistical conclusions. “On the rise” is an understatement.
- A May 2025 report highlighted that anti‑Semitic incidents skyrocketed by 340% to 450% worldwide in 2024, including major increases in countries such as the UK, France, Australia, and Canada.
- The Jewish Agency and Anti Defamation League (ADL) noted that antisemitism has become widely normalized – especially through anti‑Israel rhetoric and Holocaust denial – leading to public acceptance in many places.
- Germany in 2023 saw 4,782 documented antisemitic incidents – an 80% increase from 2022 – with more than half occurring after October 7, 2023.
- In France incidents nearly quadrupled in 2023 versus 2022, with about 60% involving physical violence and over 12% occurring in schools. The trend continued into 2024 and 2025.
- In Australia between late 2023 and mid‑2025, there were multiple synagogue attacks, attempted arson, vandalism, and graffiti. Over 1,700 incidents were recorded in 2024 alone.
- ADL data for the US shows a 360-477% increase in antisemitic incidents post‑October 2023, with college campuses heavily affected and many Jews reporting a decline in personal safety. The fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC, in May further underscores the severity.
- Canada recorded over 6,200 antisemitic incidents in 2024, more than double the previous year.
The ADL reports that antisemitism in the US is currently at its highest point since they began tracking antisemitic incidents in 1979.
Becoming a nation again in 1948, being re-gathered to the Holy Land from dispersion all over the world, are the fulfillment of many prophecies. Not vague, predictions, or hopes, but very exact prophecies.
The Lord is going to put Israel through a seven year time of Great Tribulation. It is also called the Time of Jacob‘s Trouble, emphasizing that the focus is the Jews. At the end of seven years, as Jesus is returning in his Second Coming to establish a Kingdom on Earth, the Jews cry out to Him, and the Bible says all Israel will be saved.
We believe that the resurrection and rapture of the church is an imminent event. Imminent means it could happen anytime therefore there is nothing that needs to happen prior to it.
The Great Tribulation is coming. It is designed to save all of Israel at the Second Coming of Jesus.
The Great Tribulation is not for us. It’s not a time for the church to be purified. It is for Israel. Revelation chapter 3 verse 10 indicates we will be kept out of that entire time of trouble; not protected through it, but kept out of it.
It begs this question – “Are you ready for the Rapture?” If not, get ready, stay ready, & keep looking up.
Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
