Anti-Israel Rallies Align with Bible Prophecy
Antisemitism in America has surged to record levels.
I would have described the United States – up until now – as historically the safest and most friendly country for Jewish people aside from Israel.
But the outbreak of hatred toward the Jewish people is getting steadily worse, especially on college and university campuses.
Pro-Hamas students are harassing and attacking Jewish students and professors, shouting antisemitic statements and slogans, and starting riots.

Some schools were even forced to cancel in-person classes and campus leaders urged Jewish students to go home for safety.
It’s sickening, but it’s not surprising.
I believe it is part of us trending into the last days—and why I believe it’s going to get worse.
It’s not that God wants it; it’s that He’s letting it happen to drive, call, and push the Jewish people back to the land of Israel.
Now, I’m not saying that the 5 million Jews are going to come from the U.S. to Israel immediately.
But the conditions in the U.S. are changing very rapidly from a secure, comfortable environment to a place where Jewish people feel increasingly unsafe.
But America has not yet turned against Israel.
Prophetically, we know that it will someday.
Bible prophecy tells us all nations will eventually abandon Israel, and then turn on Israel.
But it hasn’t happened on our watch – not yet – because millions of Evangelical Christians are praying for Israel.
Would you take a moment now to pray for the protection of Israel against her enemies and the safety of the Jewish people around the world?

My wife Lynn had the opportunity to sit down with Keren*—a dear lady you supported during her time of greatest need.
Living on the Gaza border, Keren has experienced rocket attacks before.
But the invasion of Hamas on October 7th was different.
“I don’t have enough words to describe how awful…
and what we’ve been through,” Keren shared about her family's experience.
“We never believed or imagined that terrorists would be in our city.”
Forced to evacuate, Keren, her husband, and her elderly father found shelter in central Israel.
But instead of a secular hotel, Keren’s family came to a retreat center run by Joshua Fund partners.
I believe it’s important to point out that because of the immediate response of you, our Joshua Fund supporters, our partners were able to be one of the first to welcome people in serious need into a place of safety.
In less than a week after the attack, our partners had dedicated everything to housing displaced families like Keren’s.
The retreat center is also in the middle of a mostly believing neighborhood.
Our partners and the entire community welcomed these families with open arms—going above and beyond to show the love of Christ and bring comfort amid such pain and uncertainty.
- Meals and trauma counseling were provided.
- Bounce houses were set up to distract the children from sirens and the sound of rockets.
- School sessions were offered to bring routine and a sense of normalcy.
- People donated clothes and even volunteered to regularly do everyone’s laundry.
“This is a present from heaven that we are staying here,” Keren told Lynn.
For many of the displaced families, this was the first time they had ever interacted with the body of Messiah.
Walls that had previously been up in their hearts came down, as they encountered such incredible kindness and compassion.
Thank you.
You can see how your generosity in that moment impacted Keren’s life in profound and practical ways.
As the world continues to trend towards opposition to Israel and believers in the region, your support of The Joshua Fund is a light shining in the darkness.
May God bless you!
