Scripture: Psalm 34:19
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But the LORD delivers him out of them all."
Commentary:
When violence targets Jewish communities—even far from Israel—the pain ripples globally. It is disturbing to see how quickly threats prompt increased security, even on another continent. Faithfulness does not prevent suffering, but believers can stand confident that God does not abandon them. The ongoing targeting of Jews lines up with patterns Scripture has warned will intensify before redemption is complete.

Prophetic Trend:
Targeted attacks on Jews abroad highlight persistent end-time hostility toward God’s covenant people and deepen global vigilance.
