Sadly there are some mean spirited comments at the bottom of this article------ the usual anti-semitism that is growing so prevalent late in these End Times------ the antichrist is coming after the upcoming Rapture, and he will hate Israel and the Jewish people. To set the record straight, despite Israel's current unbelief in her Messiah (Micah 5:2, Psalm 22:14-18, and Isaiah 53), GOD LOVES ISRAEL! Israel is His very special nation! Long ago the Bible (Old and New Testaments) was given to Israel. Among all the writers of the Bible, only Luke was not Jewish. Jesus Himself (Israel's Messiah) is Jewish!
