They are wonderful people. But they have slipped into the darkness of anti-Semitism. They have fallen to the scourge of radical Islam. Their leaders have been inclined towards wokeism, and they are paying a heavy price for that inclination.
In America, we are plagued with mentally disturbed and demonically inspired individuals who have also succumbed to the wokeness and the deep demonic lie of Islamic hatred for Jewish people.
We are told to pray for Jerusalem (Israel).
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee." Psalm 122: 6
And thus God has given us the only warning in scripture to pray for others that is appended with a promise if we do—and a warning if we don't.
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Gen 12: 3
But anyone across this globe who thinks they can attack the Jewish people without God responding, without God's righteous anger burning against them, is foolish indeed.
"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth." Isa 62:1
This does not mean that every calamity that falls upon our nations from today on is caused by the attack on Bondi Beach. We cannot assume that every problem that comes to us from here on is an answer from God because of the slaughter on the beach. But we also cannot say that it was not.
