Jerusalem Ultra-Orthodox Demonstrators Block Christians from Attending Worship Event

JERUSALEM, Israel – For at least the second time in a month, a number of ultra-Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem have publicly confronted Christians and Messianic believers.

The most recent happened outside a Hebrew worship event in the city. This time, the hostility also led to physical attacks.

Some 800 people recently attended two concerts featuring Hebrew worship songs.

Chad Holland, senior pastor at King of Kings Community in Jerusalem, told CBN News, "It was a night of worship and singing through the scriptures, singing through the Psalms. Everyone was invited."

I experienced this first-hand as a Catholic in Israel this year. The Jews tolerate you but do not really like you. The government does not want to upset USA who they depend on. The orthodox movement against other faiths is alive and well in Israel. The holy sites for Christianity are all protected by Muslims, not Jews.

Imagine the outrage and media attention, if it were the other way around??? He came unto his own, and his own received him not!😢😢 Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess!!

Jesus foretold it. "If they hated me, they will hate you." We are living in a very speciel time. We will be procecuted like our Lord... But fear not. He has overcome the world. God bless you all❤❤❤

I am muslim but i want to ask my fellow muslims or my fellow Palestinians please defend christians also and defend their properties and their holy sites because they are small in number .As a muslim i respect both Jews and christians .

[ivettetorres]

It’s like we’re moving back in Biblical time. Modern day Sadducees & Pharisees. Praying for Israel. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Any true Christian is commanded to share his faith.

[rianavermeulen]

It's just disgusting to see how "Godley" these people are towards Christians. May God forgive them.

[Dreidcs]

They forgot how much support they got from Christians

[Blue-Rue]

They are afraid the youths might get saved?😮😢

"If the world hates you,  keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.  Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name,  for they do not know the one who sent me. " John 15:18-21

Let us remember, it was Hebrews later known as Jews, who made and worshipped the golden calf in the wilderness while Moses sought guidance from the Lord. No matter where we are or what race or religion we are, the feeble-minded are always among us.

They cry out in pain as they strike you.

I’m here in Israel right now and yes this is how they treat Christians and people of color. So if everyone just stop coming to Israel and see if they are more appreciative. Why do people spend their hard earn money of $1000s of dollars to come here just to get treated like trash. According to their Torah they are not supposed to act like this. However, they do. Now I have met a few who are absolutely wonderful and I stress few. It’s the I’m better than you attitude. This does Not apply to All Jews/Israeli. If they are so secure in their religion someone please tell me why it seems they are scared of the Christians going to proselytize them into Christianity. So much for praying for peace. I’m not Christian or Muslim. It has definitely been a learning experience here.😢 Maybe going back to read their teachings of the Torah that they have seem to forgot.

[raptureready]

They are not even following the law of Moses. SMH This is all hatred

[ZoSuan]

The orthodox community should know that they live by the contribution of others and they should not disdain other communities...

[nebulaone]

Pray for those who persecute you. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. 🙏

[lucianh]

I pray for our brothers and sisters from Jerusalem.I listen all the time theyr music and i learned it.Their music help me in trouble.God bless you and give you straight

Stage is being set for the welcoming of the anti Christ.
