"No such holy places exist. Now, if the Muslims would like some holey places I'm sure the IDF would be only too happy to oblige."
I have said it before and I will continue to say it: That thing built on the Temple Mount is an abomination. I pray that I am dead before this happens but I believe that said abomination will eventually be bulldozed into the Jordan River to make room for the new Temple.
I want to see it happen.
No bulldozers required. The Great Rift Valley (which created the Red Sea), the reason The Dead Sea exists, can wipe clean Mout Moriah at a moments notice. Standing by for The LORD to initiate the rebuilding of the Temple.
I will be 60 soon so I understand what you say about war. As a Christian and student of the Bible urge you to correct your prayer.
God deals with this Muslim problem in Ezekiel 38&39 not in Revelation. It is localized in it's nature involving Israel's treatment by her blood relatives.
It may look like world war is fixing to break out but it won't. It will be like the Six day war only on a larger scale and it will be obvious to all the world that it is a miraculous intervention of God.
When it is over Israel will be the dominant power in the Middle East and the world will be lulled into a sense of false peace with the Islamic problem dealt with.
If you study the events and players in Revelation you will notice the absence of Islamic presence.
In the War of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel God punishes Israel's kinsmen for the way they have treated her,ands makes the way for Israel to resume Temple worship which she does in chapter 40 and the other nations of the world are not involved.
In Revelation which happens later maybe as much as 20 or 40 years or as little as seven years this is where God deals with the rest of the nations of the world for the way they have treated her.
They are separate events the participants in one is on a local scale and in the other it is the Battle of Armageddon on a world wide scale.
I think the war of Gog and Magog is very close at hand which is why I urge you to reconsider your prayer.Though it will be shocking to the world I think you may want to see this one.
God is going to show the world that He is alive and well and just how easy, quickly, and efficiently He can solve this Arab Israeli problem they have struggled with for decades and made worse.
I think the reason He may be allowing this terrible removing of the Jews from the area they are in is to remove them to safety from the area that may be hit.
You notice that they don't allow a Jew to remain in any areas they take over.
It is amazing in the Bible how God turns evil intentions of men into good and uses His enemies own evil acts to do his will.
Change that prayer and trust in our Savior no matter how bad things look He is in complete control.
