May 3rd, 2024 | Messianic World Update | Analyzing Protests, Negotiations, and Middle East Conflict
Shalom, everyone. I’m Monte Judah with another edition of Messianic World Update. Today's date is Friday, May 3rd, of the year 2024. This week, we are diving deep into the events that have been shaking up our world recently.
On U.S. college campuses, over 2000 protesters have been arrested this week. The police have been called in to dismantle encampments and remove students from occupied buildings. Interestingly, more than half of these protesters are not students but rather professional agitators brought in to stir up trouble. Many of them have been involved in previous protests and align with AntiFa and Marxist ideologies.
President Biden has finally spoken up against the anti-Semitic rhetoric emerging from these protests, stating that while the right to peaceful protest is supported, calls for harm and discord against any group of people are not condoned. However, it's become clear that a large portion of these protesters are uninformed or misinformed, often through social media, leading to a distorted understanding of historical and current events.
Investigations into the funding of these protests have led back to George Soros, a billionaire known for his Marxist and anti-American views. He's funded political campaigns for district attorneys in various liberal cities and states, causing chaos in our judicial system. But he's not acting alone - Iranian sources, Hamas sources, and even Qatar have been involved in funding these protests. Indeed, many Arab nations, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, pour billions of dollars into U.S. colleges every year.
Meanwhile, in the Middle East, Israel, the U.S., and Hamas are in the final stages of negotiations for a ceasefire and the return of hostages. If Hamas rejects the terms, Israel is ready to go into Rafah and remove the last four battalions in an effort to capture the hostages.
The situation is delicate and heavily influenced by the U.S., which seems to be siding with Hamas more than with Israel. Israel is also preparing for potential conflicts with Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon, with three full divisions of the IDF stationed on the northern border.
As we wait for the outcome of these negotiations, it's crucial to stay informed and aware. The youth, in particular, are being fed propaganda that distorts their understanding of history and current events. It's our responsibility to guide them towards the truth and to support Israel in its fight against anti-Semitism.
Thank you for joining me on this week's Messianic World Update. Remember to pray for the hostages, for Israel, and for our fellow believers all around the world.
Shabbat Shalom to all of you.
