Israel becoming a nation again, being re-gathered to the Holy Land from all over the world, are the fulfillment of many prophecies. Not vague, predictions, or hopes, but very exact prophecies.

Jesus himself warned that His followers would be “hated by all nations” for His name’s sake, and Zechariah 12:3 speaks of Jerusalem becoming a “heavy stone for all peoples.” These Bible prophecies paint a clear picture of escalating hatred towards the Jewish people. In this Bible study, we humbly present recent statistical conclusions that underscore this reality. Reports from May 2025 reveal a staggering 340% to 450% increase in anti-Semitic incidents worldwide in 2024, with significant surges in the UK, France, Australia, Canada, and Germany. The ADL also highlights the normalization of antisemitism through anti-Israel rhetoric and Holocaust denial. In the U.S., ADL data shows a 360-477% increase in incidents post-October 2023, particularly impacting college campuses, leading to a decline in personal safety for many Jews. These statistics, while sobering, affirm the accuracy of Bible prophecy.

We also consider the miraculous re-gathering of the Jewish people to the Holy Land in 1948, a clear fulfillment of numerous specific prophecies. This event sets the stage for future end times events, including the Great Tribulation, also known as the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble,” which will focus on Israel’s ultimate salvation at Jesus’ Second Coming.

A key aspect of our Bible study focuses on the resurrection and rapture of the church. We hold to the belief that this is an imminent event, meaning no further prophecies need to be fulfilled before it can occur. While the Great Tribulation is a future event designed for Israel’s salvation, Revelation 3:10 provides comfort that the church will be kept out of this intense period.

As we consider these prophecy updates and end times signs, a vital question emerges for all Christians and those exploring Bible prophecy: “Are you ready for the Rapture?” We encourage you to seek readiness, remain watchful, and keep looking up. Whether you are a long-time student of Calvary Chapel teachings or new to Bible prophecy, we pray this video is a blessing as you seek to understand God’s plan. Ready or not, Jesus is coming!
