“They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.”
The declaration that enemies said they would completely subdue all the meeting places articulates the enemies' intention to eliminate all possibility of covenant community worship. The reference to meeting places indicates all the locations where God was worshipped. This verse articulates the enemies' purpose: to destroy the possibility of relationship with God.
