‘God’s promise is eternal’: PM Netanyahu, Marco Rubio & Amb Huckabee inaugurate ‘Pilgrimage Road’ in Jerusalem’s City of David

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Ambassador Mike Huckabee inaugurated the Pilgrimage Road, the ancient street leading to the Temple in the time of Jesus, in Jerusalem’s City of David on Monday.

The 2,000-year-old road served pilgrims ascending to the Temple from the south, and has been excavated in a lengthy and controversial process, as the around 600-meter-long route runs underneath houses in the Arab-majority neighborhood of Silwan, in east Jerusalem.

After years of excavation and construction, the route was opened end-to-end on Monday.

Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office said that the joint visit was among the high points of Rubio’s “very successful and important visit” to Israel.

“This was an event of historical and cultural importance for the Jewish People. Prime Minister Netanyahu noted at the event that it attested to the city being ours and that it would never be redivided, nor would there be a Palestinian state,” the PMO stated.

“I welcome today Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who understands that this is the foundation of our shared Judeo-Christian heritage,” Netanyahu said, according to Channel 12.

We’re going to stop protecting Israel, like a lot of freepers would like. Then the Antichrist will come on the scene. Could this be the last picture like this?

Very good!
All are welcome to visit. As it should be. No more misguided or hostile Moslem or British or Turkish blockades, barriers.
(And regardless of one’s personal understanding or theological beliefs, which we understand can vary. If a person is sincerely interested and respectful
Of others— just as with most churches, synagogues, holy sites (outside certain Islamic controlled countries) there are at least visitor areas where people are welcomed…)

It could very well be one of the last “goodwill” pictures ever with anybody helping Israel. And yes, lot of freepers would be happy about that.

The next politician to do this type of PR stunt could be the Son of Perdition himself. 👎

God’s promise is eternal but provisional. Being an ethnic Jew is not enough; there must be obedience to the Covenant. The First Temple was destroyed and the people sent into exile because of their disobedience. The same is true with the Second Temple. Israel is not just the ethnic Jews but those who are in a covenantal relationship with God. And today that covenant is in Jesus Christ. The Mosaic Covenant is no longer operational.

Additionally, modern Jews are not even in obedience to the Old Covenant. They can’t be because there is no Temple and its sacrifices. It is God himself that brought this about. Both the Babylonians and the Romans were just His agents. God did not abandon the Jews but they, like the rest of humanity, are called to union with God through Jesus Christ. There is no parallel covenant for the Jews.

Do you really think that the US supporting Israel in forever wars keep the AC at bay. The Antichrist is most likely to be Jewish, Saudi, or Muslim.
