Jerusalem Has No Historic Connection to the Jews?

For many years the UN has been a mouthpiece of nations that hate Israel. This organization has passed an endless number of resolutions that seek to defame Israel— mostly for defending its right to exist.

Last week, UNESCO, the Paris-based UN cultural body, attacked Israel’s history by approving a resolution that said the Temple Mount and the Wailing Wall have no historic connection to the Jews.

The measure was put forward by several Arab countries, including Egypt, Lebanon and Algeria. There were 24 votes cast in favor and six against with 26 abstentions and two absentees.

The U.S. voted against the resolutions. With the presidential election less than a month away, the Obama Administration had no choice but to play it safe. The State Department issued this voice of opposition:

“We are deeply concerned about these kinds of recurring politicized resolutions that do nothing to advance constructive results on the ground and we don’t believe they should be adopted,” spokesman Mark Toner said.

UNESCO chief Irina Bokova has herself expressed reservations about the resolutions. Radical Muslims had threatened to kill her if she blocked a final vote on the draft. Bokova tried to distance herself from the controversy by saying “Nowhere more than in Jerusalem do Jewish, Christian and Muslim heritage and traditions share space.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted UNESCO; saying the body has lost its legitimacy.

“To say that Israel has no connection to the Temple Mount and Western Wall is like saying China has no connection to the Great Wall of China or Egypt has no connection to the pyramids,” said Netanyahu.

There must be some type of brain virus going around that’s causing international organizations to lose touch with reality. A couple days after the UNESCO vote, the Nobel prize committee announced that rock legend Bob Dylan would receive this year’s prize for literature. He will be the first musician to be awarded the Nobel Prize in literature.

The Jews connection to Jerusalem goes back 3000 years. The religion that Muhammad dreamt up didn’t come along until 610 AD. The idea of Jerusalem’s Old City being Islam’s third holiest is the product of a recent rewriting of history. There is no mention of Jerusalem in the Koran. Islamic scholars ignored this city for hundreds of years. It wasn’t until the Jews started coming back to the Holy Land that Islam suddenly discovered Jerusalem’s importance.

The Old and New Testament clearly state that Jerusalem is a Jewish city. Since God Himself made this declaration, UNESCO would need to call the Lord of heaven a liar to change the city’s heritage. “The Lord appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your descendants I will give this land’” (Genesis 12:7a).

We may soon find that UNESCO has come out with a revised edition of the Bible:

“And Jesus went into the Al-Aqsa Mosque Temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the Al-Aqsa Mosque Temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves” (Matthew 21:12).

This struggle over the Jewishness of God’s Holy City can also be found in various reference sites on the Internet. On Wikipedia’s “Jerusalem” page, previously well-known facts are now qualified with openers like this: “According to the Bible, King David’s son Solomon built the Holy Temple.” And, “Because of the status quo policy, the Wall is the holiest place for Jews.”

Instead of going by a mountain of artifacts that point to Jerusalem’s Jewish past, you find statements that say “Jewish nationalists (Zionists), who claim the right to the city based on Jewish descent.”

Articles about the Jewish Temple Mount now have to include Arab names of this location. When you bring up an article about the “Al-Aqsa Mosque,” there are no Hebrew names and there is only a brief reference citing the Temple Mount as the holiest site of Judaism.

I recently found a YouTube video titled, “10 Countries You Didn’t Know Existed.” Most of these nations are unrecognized because they are ignored by the rest of the world. Some of them have their own money, government, and language. Their dreams of statehood go unrealized partly because the UN is too busy worrying about a host of trivial matters related to Israel.

The willingness of UNESCO to defy basic logic over the history of Jerusalem would seem to indicate that we are close to the end.

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” (Zechariah 12:2-3).

The Twinkling

You and many others who have chosen to read this commentary are likely in agreement. We find ourselves at a time in which the future is indeed murky. The very fact makes it a time of uneasiness–of profound uncertainty.

With so many existential threats (factors portending possible, even probable, future disruption for our lives), many look to November 8 with a shadow of oppressiveness clouding their thoughts.

We have watched our American way–our laws and traditions–dismantled. We have watched the process happen with the acquiescence, even the complicity of those with whom we entrusted our vote to stop that degeneration.

More troubling is the almost certainty that if the presidential candidate presently leading in polls (according to most polls) succeeds, the tearing down of America as founded will be put on the fast track. The “promise and change” declared by the current president–issued in January of 2009–will, it is feared, soon after this election be completed. The global architects will, in that case, have removed what I believe to be the last roadblock from their ambition–to tear down national sovereignties.

America, in the earthly sense, is that roadblock–thus the all-out effort by national and world politicians as well as media–both news and entertainment–to utterly destroy the candidate in opposition to their vision for one-world order.

With most everything else in place for setting up for the Tribulation (Daniel’s seventieth week), including Israel again in the spotlight, hounded by UNESCO in denying Israel’s historical right to the land, we have as of late added some truly profound rumors of war. Russia and the American presidential administration have entered into an extremely dangerous era of international intrigue and gamesmanship. With the Clinton campaign and the administration of Barack Obama pointing the finger of blame at Vladimir Putin and his regime as guilty of hacking emails and giving to Wikileaks in order to influence the outcome of the election, not just the Cold War, but a hot war might be forthcoming it is conjectured by some.

The Russians have moved, uncontested, into the Middle East. They have naval power and growing ground and air force capabilities in position to defend the Syrian dictator. This American administration has lifted not a finger to oppose this shift of Russian power into the region that is mentioned in Bible prophecy like no other.

Obama has, through his ineptness–or, as I more am prone to suspect, his deliberate action–allowed the development of the forces of ISIS (ISIL, as he calls them). America has U.S. Air Force assets now in regions that some believe equates to a provocation-of-war-incident waiting to happen. Again, I’m convinced it’s all part of the globalist orchestration being used by Satan himself to bring his own son of perdition to power. So many who consider all of this sense an incident or action in the immediate future that will explode in uncontrollable ramifications. Yet, nothing, no matter the circumstances, has to this point happened to initiate the long-anticipated catastrophe.

The Russians are seemingly trying to instigate direct confrontation with American aircraft. China is trying to provoke, seemingly, a confrontation in the South China Sea. Iran is firing, through proxies, upon U.S. warships, apparently begging to be hit in return so as to start something.

The economic bubble of insanity continues to build to the bursting point. And, we have a presidential election in two weeks that some believe will bring on an even greater national schizophrenia and possible civil war, no matter who wins.

My great friend, the late Jack Kinsella, had tremendous insight, as many reading this column know. He left us some God-engendered thoughts for just this time in which we find ourselves. He wrote the following in one of his Omega Letter commentaries.

“We live in the most terrifying time of uncertainty in human history–the wrong move by the wrong guy could set off a chain of events that could potentially exterminate the human race. We have but a short time to spread the message of salvation, and it doesn’t help if we are paralyzed by fear. The Lord knew the conditions that would exist just before His return. Which is why Paul ends his explanation of the Rapture with this exhortation: “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1st Thessalonians 4:16-18)

Jack had just written a fabulous piece on the Rapture. The “comfort” of which Paul assured us was all about that twinkling of an eye moment that Jack and I–and, I hope you–believe is about to occur based upon all of these things that have begun to come to pass (Luke 21:28).

European Union: Don’t Label Muslim Terrorists as Muslim

The European Union’s Brussels headquarters has asked the British government to bar the media from identifying Muslims terrorists as being Muslim. If witnesses recall a terrorist scream “Allahu akbar!” or asking people if they’re Muslim before opening fire, the press is now expected to play dumb in their reporting.

The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) justified this attack on free speech by saying there has been an increase in hate speech and racist violence over the past seven years. Pointing a finger at the press, ECRI Chair Christian Ahlund, said, “It is no coincidence that racist violence is on the rise in the UK at the same time as we see worrying examples of intolerance and hate speech in the newspapers, online and even among politicians.”

It’s absolutely stunning that leaders in European would think that Islamophobia is a problem. The reason why there is an increase in racial strife is because of Muslims are attacking people. If a follower of Muhammad goes into a restaurant and kills 20 people, it’s common sense to identify his religion. He didn’t kill those people because he thought the food was bad. His faith is what motivated him to carry out his heinous act.

When I read in the news that Jamel Ahmed Mohammed Ali Al-Badawi is wanted by the FBI for conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, it’s all too easy to guess that he’s Muslim.

Last Week, German police units were hunting for a man suspected of planning a bomb attack. I didn’t need to know he was Syrian-born, his name was Jaber Albakr, or that he had internet contact with the ISIS to conclude he was Muslim. The words “bomb attack” was all I needed to know that there was a connection to a certain Middle East based religion.

One common argument for avoiding the Muslim label is that if we don’t mention the name of their religion, Islamists won’t be inflamed to carry out more acts of terror. Muslims don’t murder people because they feel oppressed. They’re motivated by the idea that the killing of infidels is a useful way to advance their religion.

Our unwillingness to link Islam to terrorism only make the problem worse. What we should be doing is condemning Islam every time one of its followers carries out a terrorist act. If a Christian Minister openly endorsed terrorism, the hate crime laws would put him in jail.

The practice of banning the link between Islam and terrorism is already at work on the Internet. Several search engines have blocked words that relate to Muslim terrorism. Last week, I was trying to find an article I saw on Drudge Report. I typed in about a dozen different phrases and nothing came up. When I switched to Yahoo, twenty stories instantly popped up.

This censorship has even found its way to images of Muslim terrorists. Several French news organizations have said they will no longer publish photographs of people responsible for terrorist killings, to avoid bestowing “posthumous glorification.”

I don’t buy this glorification argument. There are thousands of photos of Adolf Hitler, and don’t see them giving him glory. He has become the opposite—a symbol of evil. The French papers decided not show images of terrorists because they got into trouble over their coverage of the attack on Nice. Instead of showing photos of Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel in his Muslim clothes, they went with alluring images of him working out at the gym.

I can only wonder what will be the end of this craziness. If we continue along this path, the press will start censoring the coverage of major terrorist attacks. The murder of 49 people at the Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida shows we are headed in that direction. The attack occurred in June and the media has already dropped all coverage of what was the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in U.S. history.

I think the reason why the devil has been working so hard to shield Islam from criticism is because of his plans for the Harlot church, where all the major faiths will unite under the leadership of the False Prophet. The extreme measures now being taken to accommodate Islam tells me that the end must be very near.

“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration” (Rev. 17:1-6).

Genesis of Armageddon

The progressives’ Bible–the New York Times–is advising the president to pressure Israel all he can in these few months left of his presidency. The Jewish State must be forced to conform to the globalists’ demand that Israel, for the sake of world peace, give up part of the land it has “illegally occupied” since the Six Day War of 1967.

Globalism, as I constantly harp, is the unrelenting force bent on setting the stage for one world government. Perhaps unwittingly, for most of the globalists elite at least, they are doing their utmost to serve their father’s–the devil’s–primary purpose. That purpose is to set the stage for the prince that shall come, the first beast of Revelation chapter 13.

I was most interested to hear on a political punditry program this past week something Bill Bennett, a well-known Washington conservative insider, has written in an article with the title The Next Assassinated President. The article appeared in The Republic Broadcasting.org website back in July of this year. Bennett apparently wrote that the globalists will try to assassinate Donald Trump if he is elected president. According to the talking heads I listened to, Mr. Bennett thinks with all that is within his experience and knowledge of these people that they will never give up the power they are in the process of gathering to themselves. I have absolutely no doubt that he is correct in his assessment. Everything since the Obama administration came into power has been put, in my view, expertly on the fast track to bringing America into a weakened configuration–thus to bring this nation under total globalist influence. Or, that is, all new world order cylinders were in sync until the candidacy of one Donald J. Trump took off in such an effective fashion.

As anyone with half an attention span should know, the powers that be within the globalist-elite cabal are literally foaming at the mouth with rage against the Republican candidate. The opposition party and its candidate are drudging up every bit of muck they can find here in October. This despite the fact that that the opposition candidate has enough putrid muck encasing her own persona, which would to anyone else bring a prison term. Certainly, her record of nefarious activity should forever prevent her from holding any political office at any level.

But, the mainstream media–the major networks, CNN, and others–are acting as her and her party’s propaganda mouthpiece. They are her campaign’s free advertising and publicity agents. Of course, this new world order movement began long before the current president took the reins of government. The point is that things of end-times rearrangements are seeming to be hitting on all sixteen cylinders within the one-world-order machinery. Many within the Republican establishment are joining the hate-filled anti-Trump force to urge Mr. Trump to step aside and let one of their chosen ones take over. The globalists around the world are frothing at the mouth, too, doing anything and everything they can to keep the Trump candidacy from proceeding.

Like Mr. Bennett apparently believes, I’m in agreement that the Republican candidate is in a precarious position. Lucifer’s legions are nothing to take lightly.

This is not to let Trump off scot free. His statements of eleven years ago are gutter moments. They are absolutely inexcusable. He has publicly apologized, however–something his opponent has never and will never do for the myriad evil their machine of power-grabbing has churned-up for more than two decades. Globalism, then, as I have presented from my viewpoint a number of times lately, is what this election is all about. America and, more importantly, Israel, are at the epicenter of the end-times contractions taking place.

The United States must be diminished so it no longer has the strength to resist those who would tear down national sovereignties. This must be done before that power platform for Antichrist can be established.

Simply put, Israel is at the heart of the hatred Satan harbors in his sin-demented thinking, with which he has now infected the world at large. This is seen by the fact that the vast majority of the nations within the U.N. have at their heads dictators who vote against the Jewish state every time matters involving Israel’s nationhood is brought up for a vote.

Now, the progressives’ Bible, the New York Times, “advises” the president of the U.S. to “come down hard against Israel in the U.N.”

They want Obama to use America’s influence and votes to support a proposed resolution involving giving up land for peace.

In an article written by their editorial board, the NY Times writes, “The best idea under discussion now would be to have the United Nations Security Council, in an official resolution, lay down guidelines for a peace agreement covering such issues as Israel’s security, the future of Jerusalem, the fate of Palestinian refugees and borders for both states.”

Obama is being pressured to join in such a procedure before he leaves the presidency in January 2017. The U.S. State Department is, to this point at least, sticking by the long-standing policy of resistance to falling in line with this globalist “advice.”

A spokesman for the State Department said recently: “With regard to the UN Security Council and any action at the UN, our position hasn’t changed. We’re always concerned, frankly, about one-sided resolutions or other actions that could be taken within the UN, and we’re always going to oppose those kinds of resolutions that we believe delegitimize Israel and undermine its security.”

We will watch to see if the exiting Mr. Obama flies in the face of this wise policy. If he does so, he will certainly be giving a boost to a major element within the globalist elites’ blueprint for bringing forth one world order.

When Israel is finally cajoled or arm-twisted into giving up the land in question, it will indeed be the genesis for history’s most horrific war called Armageddon.

“I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land” (Joel 3:2).
