The Fight for Jerusalem

Prophecy Update: The attack on Israel!

Kerry to attend Paris summit on Israeli-Palestinian conflict; this meeting of 70 nations is another piece of evidence that the world is persistent seeking the destruction of Israel. This is the final trip for Secretary Kerry, how appropriate that it would be another attempt by this administration to curse Israel. As many of you know the Obama administration led the drive for a UN Security Council vote condemning Israel and taking away her rights to Jerusalem. The news said it was about settlements, but the details are much worse. The most important being that the UN now has on its books that Israel does not have a right to Jerusalem. In the midst of this horrible decision, Pres. Elect Trump vows to put the US embassy in Jerusalem.

Reported in Israel Hayom on Tuesday, Jan.10 is this headline: UN seeks to blacklist Israeli firms operating beyond Green Line. The United Nations Human Rights Council is reportedly working on a “blacklist” of Israeli companies operating beyond the Green Line with aim of declaring them illegal. The list, an initiative prompted by the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, is scheduled to be released in March. The move reportedly aims to bar the presence of any Israeli company beyond the Green Line. If adopted, the list could deem even private security firms protecting Israelis in Judea and Samaria from terrorist organizations, as illegal. This would lead to a war, which the UN is now encouraging.

Thank God that the congress of the United States is fighting back against all of this anti-Semitism. House Republicans are passing around a letter expressing support for “swift action” by the incoming Trump administration to relocate America’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, according to a copy obtained by The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday. “Moving the embassy will strengthen the unique alliance between Israel and the United States and send a clear message to the world that we support Israel in recognizing Jerusalem as its eternal capital,” the letter reads. “This action is all the more urgent in light of the anti-Israel Resolution 2334, adopted by the United Nations Security Council on December 23, 2016,” it continues. “The resolution invites renewed diplomatic hostility and economic warfare against Israel, and we must act urgently to mitigate its consequences and to reaffirm our steadfast commitment to Israel.”
Moving the embassy to Jerusalem has caused some to make threats. John Kerry, the king of Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority all said the embassy move would lead to war. But Trump’s team plans to forge ahead with its plans regardless of criticism from Arab nations, according to a CNN report published Monday. According to the report, US President-elect Donald Trump’s team has informed regional allies of the plans.

Israel has already begun the move to leave the UN. Israel’s decision over the weekend to cut $6 million in U.N. funding is a correct and necessary move — both morally and practically. Israel is signaling that it has no intention of continuing to play by the hypocritical rules of the United Nations. The Jewish State is announcing that it refuses to be a punching bag. Hatred toward Israel has permeated the majority of U.N. agencies, and at least four of its bodies and programs are designed exclusively for anti-Israel efforts. (Were you aware, for example, of the existence of the United Nations Division for Palestinian Rights?!)
As the UN pushes the hatred of Israel, they are following a pattern which has been followed by others. First they demonize the Jews. Next, they gradually ban Jews from doing business with others, ban them from social and civic groups. Can you imagine a Jew having any authority at the UN? Next, they deprive Jews from citizenship as the UN just did. Jews who live in Jerusalem are not citizens of Israel, neither are any Jews in any land they determine is Palestinian. Problem, the largest bloc of people at the UN is people who believe that Jews are occupying all of Palestine. They want them kicked out of all of the land and in the case of Hamas and Hezbollah, kill all of them. Next, force all Jewish businesses to go out of business and steal their businesses. The UN is propagating this right now.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday described the upcoming Middle East peace conference in Paris as a “fraud,” insisting that the meeting was an “anti-Israel” summit orchestrated by the Palestinians and sponsored by the French government. Netanyahu added that the meeting would only harm already fraught prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. “We here in Israel are dealing with huge challenges presented by terrorist forces, which not only seek to destroy Israel, but look to destroy every opportunity for peace.” Pray that we in America stand for Israel—pray for the peace of Jerusalem

About Joe

We live in the last days and the Bible commands us to watch for the Lord’s coming. I have a keen interest in history, prophecy and current events. I read widely about political and military developments and write a weekly blog from the things I follow. My special interest is in Middle Eastern affairs.

Since I was in college, I have also studied how God judges nations. It all started in Buck Hatches’ class at Columbia Bible College in 1979.

I fell in love with God’s word and especially the prophets. The results of this interest led me to writing The ‘I’ Judgements: Four Sins that Bring about the Fall of Nations. It serves as a warning to the United States, showing biblically of what we need to repent.
