Isaiah 29:1
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David lived!
Carl Sandburg, an American writer warned, “If America forgets where it came from…if it listens to those who deny and scoff, then rot and dissolution will begin.” The same principle applies to our fellow Jews in Israel.
The merciful God of Jacob-Israel raised the nation of Israel from the graveyard of history and offered us a new opportunity to fulfill our unique calling to become a model nation, a kingdom of priests, a light for all nations, based in the Law and the prophets. Yet the secular Jews, the Hellenistic Jews, the non-Jewish Jews, have divorced themselves from the Bible and have sought to make Israel a just place. I like it all other nations. And the corrupt Chief Rabbinate and blind religious leaders have woefully neglected (and lost by default) Judaism’s holiest site: the Temple Mount.
Despite the infidelity of many of Israel’s leaders, the Great God of the Universe liberated areas of Judea and Samaria and restored Judaism’s (supposedly) holiest site, the Temple Mount, to Jewish hands. Did Israel immediately invite the God of history to return to our exiles (now doing aliyah) building the Third Temple? Did they honor the God of our fathers by creating an Embassy of the Eternal in the Temple Mount?
Nope! Instead, the Israelis disdained their most sacred heritage, the crown jewel of Jerusalem, and allowed militant Muslims to continue their heinous occupation. The foreign foxes terrorize the Jewish and Christian Zionist worshipers who attempt to worship on the Temple Mount and illegally refuse to allow them to pray or read the Bible. Israel has failed to uphold the religious rights of non-Muslims (who are trampled on daily) and has failed to guarantee “freedom of access.” The biblical solution is to build the “House of Prayer for All Peoples” that the Prophets speak of.
Queen Victoria said: “I think it is very unwise to give up what we have,” referring to the territories of the British-Israeli empire. Judah has been “very unwise” in handing over the holy land to the enemies of God and Israel in the name of a lying peace. The accursed and treacherous Oslo accords, like a murderous cancer, continue to eat away at the very foundations of the Jewish state and the Jews alone bear the blame for this.
Does anyone have to be a prophet to recognize prophetic tendencies and grieve over them? Or perceive that divine judgment will surely come upon our beloved nations? Can we not just be like the righteous King Josiah who HEARD AND BELIEVED the inspired words of the PROPHETS? (2 Chronicles 34:15-33). He took God’s “old” warning to heart and then did all he could to avert a national disaster! God respected him for it.
However, the American, British and Jewish people today despise those who dare to go out, teaching and preaching the Word of God, encouraging repentance to save our people from the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble”, “the Great Unprecedented Tribulation” (Jeremiah 30:7, Matthew 24:21). At least, when they are temporarily crushed under the heels of a German-led Europe, when the Jewish Quarter becomes Judenrein and the Temple Mount taken and occupied by Vatican forces who intend to rip Israel’s heart out for their pagan purposes (Daniel 11:45, Zechariah 14:2), you will remember that they had been warned by a loving God, and hopefully you will have a change of heart and attitude that will hasten the process of redemption and welcome the Messiah whom Two Witnesses will announce to the cities of Judah and proclaim to the world (Zechariah 12:10).
