Last Christian Village in West Bank Faces Settler Outpost Threat

The Palestinian village of Taybeh, the last entirely Christian community in the West Bank, is facing an imminent threat as Israeli settlers allegedly begin constructing an illegal outpost metres from residential homes, with farmers blocked from their fields and appeals to the international community going unanswered. The accelerating displacement of Christians from the Holy Land fulfils biblical warnings about the persecution and scattering of believers in the last days, particularly in the very land where the early church was born. Jesus warned in Matthew 24 that the end times would be marked by tribulation and the persecution of His people, while the prophet Zechariah foretold intense conflict over the land of Israel in the latter days.
