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:
The reality is, communities feel the pain of attacks like these for years. The Psalmist’s cry for God to hear and strengthen the oppressed fits moments when violent hatred tears into Jewish lives, even far from Israel. There is no way to ignore the sorrow of families and the sense of vulnerability that follows sudden violence. Events like this echo prophetic patterns, showing how anti-Semitism persists globally, just as Scripture warned.

Prophetic Trend:
Persistent anti-Semitic violence abroad signals continued global hostility toward God’s people, reflecting patterns Scripture marks as significant in the last days.
