I am not surprised. Israel is the Chief of the nations according to the Bible. We are in the end times and we are not gonna be raptured...except at the very end when Messiah comes! So we have to make sure we know the ONLY REDEEMER, Yahshua the Messiah, and watch and pray and prepare for persecution...We will overcome by the Blood of the Lamb, by the word of our Testimony and because we do not love our lifes (and all its luxuries)even unto death...
Even more reason to pray for ISRAEL, that they will once again believe in their GOD and trust Him, the One who kept Daniel's 3friends in the furnace!
