Hate on Holiday: Only Incredibly Dark Forces See Celebration as Provocation
Pastor Mark Biltz has studied prophecy for years. The recent antisemitic attacks in Australia fit right into that prophecy. Australia is still in shock following a deadly attack in Sydney’s Bondi area, where Jewish celebrants gathering during Hanukkah were targeted in what authorities are now investigating as a terror-motivated, antisemitic assault. The attack left multiple people dead and injured and has shaken a country long viewed as one of the safer places for Jewish life.
Australian officials have condemned the violence in the strongest terms, increasing security around synagogues, Jewish schools, and public gatherings nationwide. The federal government and New South Wales leaders have acknowledged a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents since October 2023, with Jewish organizations reporting vandalism, threats, harassment, and now — alarmingly — deadly violence. What once appeared as fringe extremism has crossed into the mainstream and turned lethal.
Pastor Mark Biltz, founder of El Shaddai Ministries and a longtime student of biblical prophecy, argues the Bondi attack should be understood as more than a crime or political act. He calls it a spiritual hate crime — part of a global pattern of escalating antisemitism that surged after October 7, 2023, and continues to intensify across continents.
Biltz explains that one of humanity’s most dangerous flaws is the tendency to project anger at political leaders onto innocent people who have no control over those decisions. History shows where that instinct leads — and today’s headlines suggest the world is repeating familiar, deadly patterns.
For years, antisemitism was expressed through protests, campus intimidation, vandalism, and online threats. Now, Biltz warns, the rhetoric is manifesting as bloodshed — in Europe, the Middle East, and increasingly in Western nations like Australia. What happened in Bondi represents a grim turning point.
Biltz has long said he saw this coming. Through the lens of biblical prophecy, he believes rising hatred toward the Jewish people is a warning sign of broader spiritual decay and global instability. His message is not partisan or political — it is a call to recognize the deeper forces driving today’s violence before more innocent lives are lost.
Mark Biltz is available to discuss the Bondi attack, the surge in global antisemitism, and why this moment demands moral clarity, not silence.
