Scripture: Psalm 10:2-3
"In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised. For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire, And the greedy man curses and spurns the LORD."
Commentary:
The attack on Jewish worshipers reveals how evil often targets the righteous openly and aggressively. Even in places considered safe, violence can strike with little warning. There are real people grieving and unsettled in Sydney because of this. Scripture shows that such hatred toward God's people is neither new nor unexpected, as end-time patterns present rising hostility toward Jewish communities globally.

Prophetic Trend:
Sharp acts of antisemitic violence continue to expose growing spiritual and social fault lines in Western nations.
