Pastor Kevin Note: Increasing antisemitism is one sign we are in the last of the last days, and God is using it to draw the Jewish people out from the four corners of the earth back to the promised land of Israel (Isaiah 11:12). With the Jews back in Israel, the stage is set for fulfillment of the last of the 70 “weeks-of-years” of Daniel 9:24: "Seventy weeks are determined for your people (Jews) and for your holy city (Jerusalem), to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy” (at the physical second coming of Jesus (NKJV). As Jesus said, when we begin to see these things coming, then “look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28).

When I visited Australia this year to promote my latest book, I found a Jewish community under siege.
Two days after the Hamas-led atrocities in Israel on October 7, 2023, demonstrators had swarmed outside Sydney Opera House screaming, “Where’s the Jews?” and according to some reports, “gas the Jews.”
Over the subsequent two years….
