Prophetic verses claim God will intervene on Israel\u2019s behalf. Such prophecies have long been discussed in Christian circles but have received newfound attention after Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 terror attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say the rise of antisemitism is a real sign of the times,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I have to admit \u2026. even I have been shocked by the extreme antisemitism we\u2019ve seen recently \u2026 when Israel was attacked on Oct. 7 by this horrible terrorist organization, Hamas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the terror attack that killed more than 1,200 Israelis, Laurie said the anti-Jewish sentiment and protests around the world have been deeply startling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat has been as shocking, perhaps, is \u2026 some protests around the world, largely among young people, in favor of Hamas,\u201d Laurie said. \u201cWho would have ever thought, in the modern-day, in 2024, we would hear people chant phrases like, \u2018Gas the Jews.\u2019 \u2026 The Holocaust was not that long ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laurie said the mentality being seen today on campuses and in other arenas is a \u201chatred of Jews\u201d akin to what happened before Jewish men, women, and children were sent to concentration camps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Christian needs to speak up for the Jewish people,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd God has promised a blessing to those who would bless the Jews and a curse for those who would curse the Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laurie said the Jews\u2019 placement back in Israel \u2014 and the events happening there \u2014 are things the \u201cBible predicted would be happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI appeal to all my Christian friends \u2014 I appeal specifically to pastors out there to speak on this topic,\u201d he said. \u201cTalk to your people about it. And it\u2019s important that we love the Jewish people and that we support the nation Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laurie continued, \u201cObviously, we\u2019ve never been closer than we are right now to the Lord\u2019s return. In my view, the next event on the prophetic calendar is the rapture of the church, which could happen at any moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www1.cbn.com\/cbnnews\/world\/2024\/february\/sign-of-the-end-times-greg-laurie-breaks-down-magog-ezekiel-prophecies-and-hamas-horror\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>War.
