Summary:
On December 15, 2025, a mass shooting occurred during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, where over 1,000 Jewish attendees had gathered. Fifteen people, including children, were killed, and many others were injured. The attack followed a year marked by increased antisemitic incidents in Australia, including firebombings of synagogues, schools, and homes, as well as a discovered trailer with explosives intended for a synagogue. Similar antisemitic violence and protests calling to “globalize the intifada” have been reported in other countries, including the United States.
Mysterion Insights
Scripture: Psalm 83:2-3
"For, behold, Thine enemies make an uproar; And those who hate Thee have exalted themselves. They make shrewd plans against Thy people, And conspire together against Thy treasured ones."
Commentary:
Incidents like this attack at Bondi Beach are not abstract events—they devastate real families and communities. Rising antisemitism, even in places considered safe, underscores how ancient hostility against the Jewish people persists worldwide. There is a clear prophetic thread here: Scripture often describes a future environment marked by mounting hostility against God’s people across many nations. Even as vigilance grows, many Jewish communities live in deep concern for their safety. The persistence of such hatred signals that the spiritual dynamics described in the psalms remain active in this generation.
Prophetic Trend:
An intensifying global pattern of antisemitic violence aligns with prophetic expectations of hostility toward God’s people in the nations.

Tragically, many of those families returned home without their loved ones. Fifteen innocent partygoers, including children, were murdered simply for being Jewish. Many more are still wounded in the hospital. As horrific as the mass shooting in Australia is, this violence was entirely predictable. After October 7, 2023, a day when more than 1,200 people were brutally murdered and the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust, “globalize the intifada” protests took over the world. Supporting the globalization of the Intifada is supporting terrorism. The results are what we saw in Sydney this past weekend. Just in the past year, Jews in Australia have seen synagogues, schools, and homes firebombed. In January, a trailer was discovered with explosives that were intended to cause a mass casualty event at a Sydney synagogue. One month later, also in Sydney, two nurses threatened to kill...
