Secular Israel is not little horn of Daniel, or Antichrist of John's epistle - nor are they a God-favored nation that can do no wrong.
As for the Christians who can no longer broadcast, at least they are not dead like some pastors here who violated social distancing deliberately.
TribulationSighs has sigh'ed in the spirit.
Jesus did say Israelis would die in Israel for preaching the gospel, and they did - including all disciples except John.

Little horn was perhaps Antiochus IV Epiphanes
John said there were many antichrists even in his day.
And I think Paul said "they are not all Israel who are of Israel"
Yeah, I quoted Matthew 10:23, and the 2 verses ahead of it. That was spoken to 1st century disciples; not that it cannot have an application towards later believers, but context is those disciples, and like I said, I feel all but John died a martyrs death.
