But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them: Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people: And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house? And they shall answer, Because they forsook the Lordtheir God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the Lordbrought upon them all this evil.( I Kings 9:6-9)
Those of us who have eyes to see have witnessed an unprecedented event in the past week. The world rushes by, oblivious to the significance of the event but for those waiting the arrival of King Messiah, a mixture of Joy, Dread and Awe accompany the events of recent history.
Let me be direct and succinct; for the first time in two thousand years, the Jews themselves have control of their Holiest site, the temple Mount in Jerusalem, and have been gathering there to pray openly.
This article is an exploration of the implications of this event.
When three ‘Palestinian Terrorists attacked two Druze policemen last week, and engaged in a fatal shootout on the Temple Mount, The Police Department of Jerusalem took control of the Holy Mountain, and installed metal detectors at it’s entrances. Muslims have been boycotting the temple Mount, ever since, and predictably, staging deadly riots and demonstrations.
This change of hands of custody of the Temple Mount, would mark the first time in two thousand years, Jews have been in control of it.
Solomon warned Israel by the Holy Spirit that if she were ever to turn from serving God, Israel would be cut off from the Land, and God himself would cast the temple, the visible symbol of Israel’s relationship with God, out of His sight!
He also warned that the site of the temple, would be a public testimony to all of the world, of the Holiness and Righteous Judgment of God, who wouldn’t even spare his covenant people the consequences of their sin and hardness of heart.
Daniel predicted that an “Abomination which makes desolate” the holy Mountain, would be erected. Something which occurred in the days of Antiochus Epiphanes, as well as in the Roman Period, and eventually which stands today in the form of the “Mosque of Omar”, and “The Dome of the Rock” desecrating the Holy Place. The blasphemous statement, “God has no Son” , is inscribed on Mosque which was erected on the Holiest site to the Jews, in the seventh century and which stands prominently today on that Mountain.
Interestingly enough, Solomon’s prediction of the destruction of the Temple was fulfilled twice, once in the year 587 bc , and then a second time in 70 Ad. Ironically both of those occurred on the same calendar date, Tisha B’Av, the ninth of the month of Av , roughly corresponding to late July or early August.
The three weeks preceding the destruction of the Temple in 70 Ad, are considered a period of mourning by Israel, They commemorate the breaching of the walls of Jerusalem by the Romans, which would lead to the utter destruction of the the Second Temple, commencing on the 17th of Tammuz. (It was on that very day in 2017 that the shootout occurred which led to the new status of custody, which we now see in Jerusalem).
It was fifty years ago, in June of 1967, when the newly reborn nation of Israel retook Jerusalem for the first time in centuries. We all saw battle hardened jewish paratroopers weeping at the wailing wall, and fulfilling partially the wistful prayers of Jews worldwide and for centuries through their long night of exile,”Next year in Jerusalem!”.
But we stand dismayed at what happened next, because it didn’t seem to fit our narrative. We thought Israel would fully occupy Jerusalem, and possibly sanctify the Temple grounds, and perhaps re-instate Temple worship and thus fulfill the prophecies of events of the last days.
Instead General Moshe Dayan turned the custody of the Temple Mount over to the Jordanian Waqf, (Waqf, in Arabic means’ Cease’!).The Waqf would determine who would “ascend the Holy Hill”, and who could pray or not pray (Muslims only), they would be in control of what went on , at the Holiest site of the Jews. The Waqf would be allowed to hollow out the Holy mountain, to destroy priceless artifacts from Jewish antiquity, including the first Temple,and even to desecrate the Holy site at will.
Muslims have been seen urinating on the platform which once housed the temple, and ancient , petrified Cedar beams, possibly from Solomon’s original temple, have been removed from beneath the site and burned as firewood!
Why has it taken so long for Jews to retake the temple Mount ? Since it is the Holiest site to all of Judaism, why didn’t it immediately become Jewish controlled since 1967? How could even secular Jewish leaders turn such a sacred site over to Muslim control?
The only sense I can make of it, is found in the Words of Jesus himself, in Luke 21.
…Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.(Luke 21:24b)
Jesus warned that Jerusalem would be ceremonially defiled…“Trodden underfoot of the Gentiles”, is a ritualistic technical term, which of necessity refers to the Temple Mount itself. For How Long would Jerusalem endure this defilement by Gentile occupation of it’s most sacred spot? Until the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled…
Perhaps in our next article we should explain that phrase, ‘the time of the Gentiles…”.
Open jihad is coming.
Even so come quickly Lord Jesus.

Pinging the End Times ping list to the article
It’s almost the time of Jacob’s troubles , pray for the peace of Jerusalem .
It’s almost time for Elijah to show and turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers.
No doubt he is going to challenge the prophets of bael once again (islam = bael worship)
Moses + Elijah = the law and the prophets
The two witnesses are due soon .
(Revelation 11:1) And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
(Revelation 11:2) But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
(Revelation 11:3) And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
(Revelation 11:4) These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
(Revelation 11:5) And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
(Revelation 11:6) These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
(Revelation 11:7) And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
(Revelation 11:8) And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
(Revelation 11:9) And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
(Revelation 11:10) And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
(Revelation 11:11) And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
(Revelation 11:12) And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
(Revelation 11:13) And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
(Revelation 11:14) The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
Notice how they give gifts when the prophets are killed.
That is exactly what the Palestinians do today when they are celebrating someones murder. They sit and pass out candies in the streets .
Look up!
(Revelation 11:1) And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
(Revelation 11:2) But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
The temple wasn’t up there , the elevation is to high for water. That is the court of the gentiles . It was altered after the destruction of the temple . We know now the gate that faces the mount of olives is not the original gate . The original gate is underneath it which means it wasn’t as high up originally . They know also that the walls were also added to and they have found Roman coins under some of the large blocks.
Look at scripture , the Temple was built on a threshing floor - that is FLAT ground . I think they already have it and don’t realize they are actually standing on it on the other side of the wall. There was an earthquake years ago that cleared it of the houses that had been built near the western wall . There was an outer court in the second temple so that gentiles didn’t actually walk into the inner court where the temple was . Where the Dome is , it’s not flat land underneath it .
(2 Samuel 24:20) And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
(2 Samuel 24:21) And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
(2 Samuel 24:22) And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
(2 Samuel 24:23) All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
(2 Samuel 24:24) And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
(2 Samuel 24:25) And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
I think they have all their cameras ready for the two witness and no one of us has realized it . I have heard that the big stone the dome sits on was near the temple . I really wonder if it was mentioned anywhere as being in the court of the gentiles.
Untrue. Jews controlled the Mount in June 1967...before the atheist scumbag Moshe Dayan ordered the Star of David flag taken down and control returned to their Arab enemy. He should have been shot on the spot.
I always wondered why that happened
I hope the Israelis keep it this time and run the mooselimbs off. Restore the temple. A stick in the eye for the mosselimbs.
Wow!
Don’t know if any of you have ever read Pete Garcia’s write-up’s on the Omega Letter website, but he posed a heck of a question on one of his recent articles.
Do the Two Witnesses show up prior to the Rapture or Post-Rapture?
The reason he asks it, is because if they show up post, then it’ll be the first time in history that The Lord has left Earth without any of His representatives on Earth.
Heard last night that the Israelis aren’t allowing anyone under the age of fifty to enter the restricted area. This is sure to enrage the satanists there.
The two witnesses start their 1260 days ten days after the believers are taken around September 21, 2017. It is a repeat of the pattern of Jesus’ assention and the Holy Spirit returning ten days later. The Tribulation starts 20 days after that, so the Witnesses can be slain, lie in the street for three and a half days, and be taken up just before the midpoint.
Was there an earlier attack to which you refer? I've had a lot going on, so I might have missed something.
The attack on the policemen occurred on the morning of Friday, July 14th, which was Tammuz 20.
It's an interesting date in history nonetheless:

The Golden (50th) Gate, through which tradition says the Messiah will enter:
Another living parable, this one paradoxically written in stone.
[[The Golden (50th) Gate, through which tradition says the Messiah will enter:

The original gate is underneath.
I can not remember his name but he is a little red headed archaeologist that at them time was studying in Israel.
He was messing around that gate on the outside and the ground collapsed underneath him . He was in a chamber full of bones and could see the original gate . He did take a couple of picture but they didn’t come out that good and he wrote a paper.
He tried to come back with others to documented it and the muslims wouldn’t let them and they filled the hole with concrete right away.
The James Fleming story.
Dayan later explained that for Jews the site was just of historical interest while for Muslims it was an active and ongoing place of worship.
The Secular Establishment in Israel takes great pains to discourage any Jewish messianic fervor. With the recapture of the Temple Mount, they were afraid of the Jewish religion, not the Muslim religion.
[[Wow!

That’s a very interesting question . It is the Holy Spirit that is holding all this back .
Have you ever heard of Jerusalem syndrome ?
Every once in a while some one will be over come and start preaching at the Kotel like they are Elijah . It will just over come them and they do not like what they say and they lock them up for a day and the person is normal after that .
Just like God used Balem to say stuff he didn’t want to say God can make others that are not his do it too.
Read what I wrote in post #7
Thanks, I hadn’t heard of that. I’ll be looking that up.
These Wile E. Coyotes of the Temple Mount attack Israel and what happens, their own deeds ‘blow up’ in their faces and the Waqf evicted. They never learn.
Here’s the ‘permanent status’ of legitimate authority that any sane person should embrace. Not the time for Israel to go the way of Moshe Dayan. It’s the grand opportunity to rectify that colossal mistake.
What timing, the Three Weeks.
My point about Dayan was that he couldn’t,t turn the Holy mt over to Jewish rule. Obviously he had his own secular reasons, but in the bigger picture, by June 1967, the end of the Time of the Gentiles was still decades away...
