2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
As we well know, the nations of Europe, and most of their proxy hounds in the Third World, rage and gnash their teeth at Israel. The world is boiling with Antisemetic hate for Israel, and the Arabs are close in second place as the world rages in hate against them also. Jews and Arabs and Ethiopians are the Semites of today.
What is frightening is that Liberal Christianity has joined the mob of dogs raging at Israel. Also, in many Baptist and Fundamental local churches we find certain effete snobs, who have fed their soul on tax rebellion and militia notions, who also hate Israel.
Loving Israel must not become a rabbit's foot fetish in our churches, but loving to see God do his will in Israel should cause us to be encouraged and hopeful about the End Times. Thus, any true Bible believer finds a friend in Israel.
Jonathan Cahn explains this clearly for us:
If you or your pastor regularly attacks Jews, while claiming he loves Israel, you have a pastor who is Antisemitic. There is an instinct in the soul of a backslidden believer to attack the friends of God. That means they attack other Christians, and they attack Jews. If this is your pastor, leave that church at once, and find new fellowship. That man will sour your soul and bring the wrath of God on you.
I had a Christian friend who was a tax rebel and he hated Jews. His life ended in horrible ways, and he spent his last days trying not to get caught by the IRS. He lost his wife because she became desperate to virtually survive and have enough to eat. Hate Jews and Jerusalem, and you will pay a tall price for your temerity.
