Regardless of the era, Israel has been hated and warred against. History shows this during the biblical era of the Philistines, the Canaanites, the Midianites and the Amalekites. In modern times, anger against the Jewish nation has been fueled by the rampant spreading of antisemitism through entities such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Turkey, or Islam.
Did you know more resolutions against Israel have come before the United Nations than any other nation in the world? Did you know that the vast majority of the world’s nations are regularly voting against Israel? This is a nation only the size of New Jersey, yet they’ve been despised and warred against throughout all of human history. Under such international pressure, it’s truly a miracle that Israel has survived.
Why all the hatred? Why have all these forces been unable to destroy Israel? The answer lies in the fact that this is not a battle of flesh and blood, but this is a spiritual battle that has ensued from the beginning and will continue until God’s prophetic plan is fulfilled.
