Sadly, it does not look like we’re through the worst of it. There is talk that more attacks will follow.

The Messiah of Israel, the Antichrist, and Zelenskyy

How Did the Apostles Explain the Messianic Prophecies?

The messiahship of Yeshua has always been controversial. In fact, in the church’s early days, confessing faith in Yeshua was asking to be shunned by loved ones and kicked out of the synagogue fellowship for blasphemy! But, even with such intense persecution, the apostles recorded some of the most incredible Jewish conversions of all time.
