Prophecy Update: Friday Oct.13, 2017
This week I want to focus on the epicenter, Jerusalem. I see in the world a rising battle coming to Israel over Jerusalem. So many people deny that Israel even exists let alone have a capital in Jerusalem. The world has a problem with the Jews. In the 1920’s and 30’s they called the tension with Jews in Europe and the Middle East ‘the Jewish Problem.’ The Jewish problem is not a problem with Jews but a problem for the Nations! We should call this the Nations problem. The Nations refuse to acknowledge that God is giving the land back to Israel and accepting the capital city, Jerusalem, as a Jewish city. The city of Jerusalem is still under the times of the Gentiles but it is coming to an end. The tensions of today are directly related to the rebellion of the nations against the will of God. Even President Trump is backing off his promise to move the embassy to Jerusalem. Please pray to the Lord that America will do the right thing. The globalist forces are arrayed against Israel and Pres. Trump and his desire to move the embassy.
The Jerusalem Post reported this week, “Over 60 thousand participate in Jerusalem annual march on Tuesday 10/10/2017. Delegates from organizations and countries from all over the world participated in the 3-km. walk called the Jerusalem March to mark the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem. The pilgrims, visiting the capital to celebrate Sukkot and attend the Feast of Tabernacles celebration, were waving flags, chanting “we love Israel,” calling out “shalom,” and holding signs expressing support for the State of Israel.
Several news organizations have been reporting this: “The Trump administration announced on Thursday that the US will withdraw from UNESCO, the UN’s educational, scientific and cultural body. A fight over who will next run the organization highlighted the Trump administration’s concerns: one leading candidate, Qatar’s Hamad bin Abdulaziz al-Kawari, has been openly accused of antisemitism by Jewish and Israeli groups. In recent months, UNESCO members have pushed the body to recognize Jerusalem as a holy site exclusive to Muslims, without recognizing its Jewish roots. Trump administration officials such as Nikki Haley, its UN ambassador, have warned for weeks that pulling out would be a possibility if the body fails to reform. The United States’ withdrawal will take effect on the last day of the year.”
The problem with UNESCO and the UN is that it does not accept Jerusalem as Jewish and they see it as an international city. They drew lines around the city to carve it up. The Zionist Organization of America had this headline on Oct.2nd, “UN Resolution 242 Entitles Israel to Secure Borders Beyond the Insecure 1949 Armistice Lines.” “The ambassador also noted that the idea of Resolution 242 “was that Israel would be entitled to secure borders,” and that the lines existing before the Six-Day War (meaning, the 1949 Armistice lines) “were viewed by everybody as not secure, so Israel would retain a meaningful portion of the West Bank, and it would return that which it didn’t need for peace and security. So, there was always supposed to be some notion of expansion into the West Bank, but not necessarily expansion into the entire West Bank. And I think that’s exactly what, you know, Israel has done.” As you know, God promised to give all of the West Bank to Israel as prophesied in Ezekiel 36-37. As God is doing it, the world is pushing back and threatening war!
The green line is not a source of rights and obligations in the original agreement signed in 1949 after the war of independence. Is there a simple answer to the question of who owns or has the legal right to Jerusalem? Dr. Jacques Gauthier, a Canadian lawyer who specializes in international law, answered that question on Wednesday with a resounding yes and suggested that if a theoretical court that was 100-percent objective were to study the legally relevant facts, ignoring politics, it would find unequivocally that only Israel possesses the exclusive title to Jerusalem. Gauthier begins his overview of the issues with Theodore Herzl in 1896-1897 and the Balfour Declaration of 1917, but the core of his argument and its most original aspect is the emphasis he places on the San Remo Conference of April 24-25, 1920. Gauthier says that the San Remo Conference was the “final hearing” of a “world court,” the council of the five leading nations and victors of World War I. The “case” before the “court” began at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, where both the Jews and the Arabs of the Middle East submitted claims to the council to obtain independence and control of various territories. Gauthier calls April 24-25 in San Remo the “key defining moment in history” on the issue of title to Jerusalem and says that Chaim Weizmann called the decision the “most important moment for the Jewish people since the exile.” According to Gauthier, the case and all arguments are basically over at this point. The Jewish people were given “title” to Jerusalem under international law. ZOA also notes that “Resolution 242 did nothing to impair Israel’s legal rights to all of Judea/Samaria – rights that are grounded in binding international treaties (including Article 22 of the League of Nations Covenant; the Mandate for Palestine (1922), San Remo Resolution (1920), Feisal-Weitzman Treaty (1919) (an Arab-Jewish treaty, the 1924 Anglo-American Convention [Treaty] (a U.S. treaty obligation ratified by the U.S. Senate in 1925).” So you can see that when Israel became a nation, why Satan wanted her destroyed as five nations immediately attacked but Israel won the war in 1949.
General Armistice Agreement Between Israel and Jordan, April 3, 1949: Article 2 It is also recognized that no provision of this agreement shall in any way prejudice the rights, claims, and positions of either party hereto in the ultimate peaceful settlement of the Palestine question, the provisions of this agreement being dedicated exclusively by military considerations. The Jewish claim in 1919 conference in Paris—Moses Hess, he wrote Rome and Jerusalem in 1862, “What we have to do at present for the generation of the Jewish nation is first to keep alive the hope of the political rebirth of our people. To reawaken the hope where it slumbers when political conditions in the orient shape themselves in order to admit the organization of the beginning of the restoration of a Jewish state.” The objectives of Zionism were to get a homeland and Gauthier concludes his analysis by rejecting the idea that any later events – such as the UN Partition Plan, UN Resolution 242, or the Oslo Accords – superseded Israel’s “title” to Jerusalem.
The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee issued a stark reminder on Wednesday that Hezbollah — the Lebanese Shia terrorist organization backed by Iran — is “well positioning itself to intensify its original mission: the destruction of Israel.” Congressman Ed Royce (R-CA) said Hezbollah was now “ascendant in Lebanon,” with “thousands of fighters in Syria” as well. This is happening this week because Satan is mad that Israel is winning in everything. They are systematically taking their land back and he cannot stand it. Therefore, the prophecy of Iran and Russia attacking Israel is at hand!
“This terrorist organization is building a deadly rocket arsenal, ready to rain terror on the Jewish state,” Royce continued. “I was in Israel during the 2006 Hezbollah rocket campaign. Its capabilities then, quite substantial, are far more concerning today.” “This is a powder keg,” Royce warned. Over the last year, Israeli intelligence officials have reported that the Tehran regime is supplying Hezbollah with ever more sophisticated precision technology for its missiles aimed at the Jewish state. The group’s 2009 manifesto hailed “the beginning of hastening historic demise of the Zionist entity,” adding that by its very existence, Israel “embodies an eternal threat to Lebanon.” Add to this the fact that Fatah and Hamas are having reunification talks. Israel facilitated the entry of Palestinian Authority (PA) Cabinet ministers into Gaza on Oct. 2 to attend a reconciliation meeting between Fatah and Hamas. It took Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a day to respond to the event. Speaking at a Likud meeting in the West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, Netanyahu said, “We expect everyone who talks about a peace process to recognize the State of Israel and, of course, to recognize a Jewish state.” He added, “Whoever wants to make such a reconciliation, our understanding is very clear: Recognize the State of Israel, disband the Hamas military arm, sever the connection with Iran, which calls for our destruction.” (Al-Monitor Oct.3)
As you can see, they cry peace, peace, when there is not a chance for peace! As Russia and Iran and Hezbollah threaten Israel from the north, forces from the south and west have been growing in power for the day they will attack Israel. Hamas has fought three wars with Israel between 2009 and 2014 and has become ever more isolated at a time when conditions in the impoverished hemmed-in strip of 2million people have deteriorated. Hamas needs the reconciliation with Fatah, with Iranian and Egyptian help to continue their march to destroying Israel. President Trump wants to make the ultimate peace deal in the Middle East. His advisors have accepted the notion that they can work with Fatah, Hamas, and Hezbollah for peace when reality says you are making a deal with the devil. Last week Mr Haniyeh, leader of Hamas, said Hamas would not disarm and would “resist the occupation with all forms of resistance”. You cannot work with Hamas President Trump!
Today, Arutz Sheva had this headline: “Jordan: Jews on Temple Mount are a ‘provocation’ to Muslims.” According to Jordan, no Jews are allowed to go to the Temple Mount. This is a throw down and it will end in bloodshed. Jews are not giving up sovereignty over Jerusalem including the Temple Mount, and Muslims are not giving up their desire for all of the land of Israel. “The Jordanian government condemned Israel for allowing Jews to visit the Temple Mount, calling it “irresponsible” and “provocative to Muslims around the world.” What does it provoke? I say it provokes war which is in the air in Israel. Will Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and other Muslim nations attack Israel? It is prophesied so it will happen. When will it happen? I say soon, the wick has been lit; it is getting close to go time! Are you ready for war? The USA will not escape this conflict. Pray!
