Many times in history, the enemies of the Jewish people eagerly awaited the day when the Jews would finally meet their ultimate demise. In every generation, there is a new source of hatred and anti-Semitism; thousands of people who chant against the Jewish people. In the 1930's, one man incited millions against the Jews, and that hatred led to the murder and elimination of more than 11 million people. By the grace of God, their plans for the Final Solution were ultimately divinely foiled, just as the evil groups before them. This verse reflects the hatred that Israel’s enemies, both historical and contemporary, have always felt towards her, but we must always remember that God and His people will triumph. 72 years later, thousands of survivors still carry this message and it is our duty to listen and carry their lessons forth to the future generations.
