Scripture: Psalm 10:17-18
"O Lord, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble; Thou wilt strengthen their heart, Thou wilt incline Thine ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may cause terror no more."
Commentary:
Scripture acknowledges that oppression and terror are nothing new for the Jewish people, even far from their ancestral land. People in Sydney are shaken and questioning what safety looks like. The persistence of anti-Jewish attacks signals a deep spiritual conflict that governments struggle to fully address. Biblical prophecy describes hostility toward God’s people as part of a wider end-time pattern, even in nations far from Israel. This is not only a local crisis, but part of a global spiritual climate.
Prophetic Trend:
Antisemitic violence and rhetoric against Jews increases globally, reflecting intensifying spiritual opposition to God’s covenant people in the nations.
