Nuggets from "Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations" by Dave Hunt

Two thousand five hundred years ago, the God of the Bible, through His prophet Zechariah, declared, "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem" ( Zechariah:12:2). This is an amazing declaration—not only that Jerusalem, which was then in complete ruins, would be the focus of worldwide attention one day but also that all of Israel's neighbors would be united against her.

Throughout history, Israel has had many enemies (Egyptians, Philistines, Syrians, Assyrians, Babylonians, etc.). Never, however, did "all the people round about" (i.e., her neighbors) join together in common cause to destroy her. This is true today, exactly as the Bible foretold, for the first time in Israel's history! Moreover, it marks the beginning of anti-Semitism, as we shall see.
