“So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.” Genesis 3:14-15. NKJV
As the war between Israel and its enemies goes on, more and more the world witnesses acts of violent antisemitism in the daily news. Many have expressed surprise at these demonstrations seemingly unaware that hatred for the Jewish people and nation is very much alive and well at this point in time. I would suggest that it should not be surprising in that it is simply a physical manifestation of the war that began in the Garden of Eden and will conclude with the battle of Armageddon at the end of the Great Tribulation.
In the passage above we find the prophecy describing the hatred Satan will have towards God’s plan for the redemption of mankind which will unfold as history plays out through the coming ages. Hints of this plan became apparent through time and eventually Satan came to realize that the “seed of the woman” referred to God Himself coming to earth as mankind’s redeemer in the form of the Messiah. He also came to understand that this coming Messiah would be a product of the nation of Israel, God’s chosen people.
“Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:1-3. NKJV
The following is an excerpt from an article written by Dave Hunt that explains in no uncertain terms the root of antisemitism.
“That vicious anti-Semitism would pursue the Jews worldwide throughout history is one of many prophecies about Israel (Dt 28:37; Neh 1:8; 2 Ch 7:20; Jer 24:9; 25:11; 29:18-19; 44:8; Amos 9:9, etc.) that God points to as proof that He is the one true God, that the Bible is His Word, and that the Jews are His chosen people (Is 42:8-9; 43:10; 46:9-10; 48:5, etc.). From a human point of view, there is no rational ground for such persistent, widespread anti-Semitism; yet this prophecy has come true with a vengeance. The only explanation is found in the Bible: the Jews are God's chosen people and under His judgment for their rebellion against Him (Dt 28:15-68; 29:24-28; 30:17-20, etc.).
There is a further obvious reason for this universal anti-Semitism: hatred of Jews and Israel is inspired of Satan because his only hope to escape eternal doom is to destroy them. This he must do to save himself from God's wrath. Had Satan been able to destroy the Jews before Christ came, he would have prevented the birth of the Messiah, the salvation of mankind, and his own defeat through the sacrifice of the Son of God for mankind's sins. Moreover, for promising a Messiah and a salvation that never came, God would have been proved a liar and thus could not righteously have punished Satan.
Of course, the Messiah came and defeated Satan, "tasting death for every man" (Heb 2:9) and bearing "our sins in his own body on the tree" (1 Pt 2:24). Countless multitudes have been redeemed and will spend eternity in the Father's house of "many mansions" because of having received the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior. But Christ's defeat of Satan through His death and resurrection did not end the battle between God and Satan for the hearts, minds, and eternal destiny of mankind. That battle continues to rage--and Israel is at its center.
The battle over Israel is a battle for survival on Satan's part and a battle for the souls and destiny of mankind.”

The answer as to why this hatred is becoming more widespread and obvious at this present time is simply because the stage is being set for the beginning of the seven year period of time called the tribulation of which we have been told so much about in the book of Revelation. As we move ever closer to that period of time, we all should take note of a very important part of God’s words to Abraham that unfortunately, all too many people and nations seem to forget. “I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you;” There are numerous examples in the Old Testament of what happens to those who fall under God’s curse and those examples should be a strong warning to any who would choose to ignore it.
From all that I have heard, it would appear many are of the opinion this country has chosen to turn its back on the nation of Israel and that because of that, we are ripe to receive the judgment promised by God. While the decisions of our political leaders may go the wrong direction in regards to the nation of Israel, we as believers can and must choose to support and defend God’s chosen people. God has, is, and will continue to use Israel to advance His plan for this world, and His stated desire is for all to come to a saving knowledge of the gospel.
I believe the reason behind the rampant antisemitism we are seeing all over the world today is a sign that Satan knows his time is almost up. That of course, also means the time of the rapture, when God chooses to send His Son to remove all those who have chosen to accept the blessing given to us by the coming of the true Messiah, Jesus Christ. If you have never made that choice, You can do that by praying a prayer just like this one;
"Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. Amen."
