As conflict escalates and alliances shift in the Middle East, one thing remains prophetically consistent: Israel stands alone.
Pastor Tom Hughes addressed this growing isolation in a recent episode of The Tom Hughes Report, saying, “With every passing day, Israel is becoming an obvious stone of stumbling to the whole world.”
Hughes pointed to prophecies in Zechariah and Daniel, reminding viewers that Israel’s role in the last days is not a footnote but the focal point.

“It is not a coincidence that the major players of the last days are in the news every single day. Russia, Turkey, Iran—just to mention a few,” Hughes said. “Prophecy is being set up for fulfillment.”
Referencing Zechariah 12:10, he underscored Israel’s future moment of national repentance: “I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplication. Then they will look on me whom they pierced.” Hughes added, “They will mourn for him as one mourns for his only son and grieve for him as one grieves for his firstborn.”
This turning point, Hughes emphasized, will happen during the Great Tribulation: “At a certain point during the seven years, Israel as a nation will come to a wonderful and terrible realization. Jesus, the man they rejected, was exactly who He claimed to be, the long awaited Messiah.”

Just hours after Hughes’ video went live, prophecy and reality collided in chilling fashion.
Two Israeli Embassy staffers were shot and killed in cold blood outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., by a radical leftwing pro-Palestinian terrorist.
The world’s growing hatred of Israel and Jews, is not merely a political problem, it’s a prophetic one.
And it’s unfolding before our eyes.
