JD: Winkie because of the rise in Anti-Semitism not only in the Middle East but actually across the world do you not see in the near future possibly more days like in the days of Esther when there is a desire to eliminate the Jewish people for the earth? Are those days ahead?
WM: Well Jimmy I have to divide my answer into two. There is as you pointed out a resurgence of irrational anti-Jewish feeling in many places or shall I say too many places. Even on campuses of universities where you would think people study rationally and research and get to the facts but I'm not going to get into that. It's very disturbing what's happening between professors and students in today's universities.
The second aspects is that in the sense of elimination I'm always amazed out of all the nations of the world I think the United Nations now is like I don't know, they're pushing 200. The only people who constantly have to defend their right to be a state, the right to be a national group with its own culture and history, language, literature and customs is the Jewish people in the Middle East in a small state called Israel. So yes we do feel sometimes that there is a ganging up or an attempt not all the borders or to do this or that but its just let's get rid of Israel and everything will be ok. That still is as I see it a problem the world has to deal with so many years after they tried to deal with it in a very different way in the middle of Europe.
JD: Winkie Medad with the details why Jews believe they are living in days like the days of Esther.
We report this information because it is setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The rise of Anti-Semitism across the world is a precursor to the days of Jacobs trouble as described in Jeremiah 30:7. There is a time when the world system in the future plus the antichrist and his evil angels will try to annihilate the Jewish people, that's Revelation 12:7-17. In Zechariah 13:8 the ancient Jewish prophet reveals that two out of every three Jews will be killed in that time. Anti-Semitism today is setting the stage for these prophecies to be fulfilled.
