Psalm 83 was written
1000 years before Christ, and it seems to have no historical context
for that time. Does it have a context now? Bible scholar J. Vernon
Magee comments that it seems to be looking to the future.
Regarding
“Antisemitism”:
"See how your enemies
make an uproar;
those who hate you
have acted arrogantly.
They devise clever
schemes against your people;
they conspire
against your treasured ones.
They say, “Come,
let us wipe them out as a nation
so that Israel’s
name will no longer be remembered.”
For they have
conspired with one mind;
they form an
alliance against you —
the tents of Edom
and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the
Hagrites,
Gebal, Ammon, and
Amalek,
Philistia with the
inhabitants of Tyre.
Even Assyria has
joined them;
they lend support to
the sons of Lot. Selah"
Psa 83: 2-8
