It’s not too hard to imagine the grotesque antisemitism required for this passage to come to fruition. This is already a real problem in many of Israel’s neighbors, as well as select groups throughout the world. It has been all throughout history.

As Pastor Ken examines today’s passage in Zechariah, we’ll see what this hatred leads to, but God will protect Israel in the end.
