Jordan scolds Israel for 'storming' Muslim holy sites on Temple Mount
Jerusalem Post ^ | 13 Sep 15 | Staff

Israeli police raided the plaza outside Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque on Sunday in what they said was a bid to head off Palestinian attempts to disrupt visits by Jews and foreign tourists.

The Jordanian government on Sunday condemned Israel for what it terms as the "storming" of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem's Old City.

Israeli police raided the plaza outside Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque on Sunday in what they said was a bid to head off Palestinian attempts to disrupt visits by Jews and foreign tourists on the eve of the Jewish New Year.

The Palestinian youths, Israeli police said in a statement, had intended "to disrupt the routine of visits to the Temple Mount on the eve of Rosh Hashana", the Jewish New Year, which begins at sunset on Sunday.

Prince Charles combines all of the many lines of the royal family in one.

The “great crisis” will most likely be the collapse of the global credit system. Its on the verge of happening right now.

It will bring unimaginable chaos.

Stuck here too. I would love to travel to at least one of my ancestral countries of UK or Hungary. I almost went to London alone several years back when a group of ladies from a fan forum were set up to meet at a certain theater to see a play but my husband couldn’t see spending the money to tag along and nobody I knew had any interest.

About 15 years ago I was praying for God to show me what I should do in life, where I’m supposed to be at, and I heard the words “Go home” and I didn’t understand that, then right afterwards “go to Israel.” I pondered it off and on back then wondering if I should make plans and just pick up and leave, trusting in God that I would be safe and find job, shelter, etc. or ignore the voice, and assume as my parents told me, that it wasn’t really God saying it.

Anything that hastens the return of Jesus I am for, they kill the body and I am with the Lord, it is only a body a perishable one at that.

There will be a 3rd which will be destroyed and then a 4th temple in new Jerusalem.

“I know, the European Union could be End-Time Babylon.”

That’s a very popular view; I read it first in Hal Lindsay’s best selling “Late Great Planet Earth” MANY many moons ago.

I’ve become fairly convinced that it is a wrong view.

REMEMBER, the “Fourth Beast” — that is, the fourth kingdom that is to come — is UNLIKE ANY OTHER that came before. The EU, however, is not unlike any other kingdom; it is actually quite a bit like other kingdoms that have arisen in the past. So, the EU fails that test very clearly, and thus we must look elsewhere. And not only elsewhere, but we must look for something totally different, and we must more carefully note the many prophetic clues that we have already been given.

One such clue is this:
Of Antichrist, Daniel writes, “...the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary,” (Dan. 9:26).

This verse fragment holds a key to correct identification of Antichrist, because it notes that he will arise out of whatever people destroyed “the city” (Jerusalem) and “the sanctuary” (also “the house”; that portion of the Temple that contained The Holy Place, and The Holiest Place). Decades of commentators have said, “Oh, well, that’s the Romans. Duh!”

Well... Not so fast.

In Acts 10:1, in the story of Cornelius and Peter, there is mentioned a group of Roman soldiers that were called “The Italian Regiment.” That distinction is important because — in a backhanded way — it highlights something crucial about Rome’s force composition in the regions in and around Judea. Lacking hordes of Italians to call up for duty, Rome populated the bulk of its military force with conscripts from defeated peoples. In fact, Rome conscripted so many non-Italians that force components consisting of actual Romans from Italy stood out from the others. It was a precarious practice, as Titus found out in 70AD. When Titus came against Jerusalem, he did so with a force comprised MOSTLY of people from nations surrounding Israel, people with old and brooding hatreds of the Jews: Syria to the north, and Arabian peoples to the south and east. So, most of the troops who actually destroyed Jerusalem were NOT Romans from Italy. Josephus, in his account of the destruction of the sanctuary, records that the Zionists had retreated to the Sanctuary — “The House,” as he calls it, and were making their last stand. On the night prior to the assault on the Sanctuary, Titus’ men had burned through the gate to the Outer Court of the Temple so as to get up to the gates of the Sanctuary. Josephus tells that an unidentified Roman conscript took up a firebrand and threw it through a window into the Sanctuary, which was paneled with cedar floor, ceiling, and walls, and The House caught fire. Titus was sent for, as he was at another place when this happened, and he came at once, but the sight of the fire in the Sanctuary so inflamed the anti-Israeli passions of these conscripts that he could not regain command over them. Titus lost control of these non-Italian Roman troops, and they utterly destroyed the Sanctuary. Josephus relates that Titus had seen the treasury of the Temple, and desired that it and the structure itself be preserved, so this destruction was actually AGAINST the will of the Roman government.

So, when you hear of Antichrist — “the prince that shall come” — don’t look for his people in Rome; look to the East; to the descendants of those who destroyed the city and the sanctuary.

"It’s at times like these I wish I would have been born in Borneo or Fiji or somewhere, because them I wouldn’t be having to lose so much wonder."

I've always longed to see much of Europe.The history,the architecture and the Alps! It looks a fascinating,almost magical place in certain regions but in reality I'm highly unlikely to ever visit.

However,I'm convinced that nothing this world can offer will ever compare to the cosmic wonders we are going to see right up close and personal.Those things God has in store for us who love Him!

There may well be some pain before that day but boy oh boy what awaits us beyond!

They're already in a state of war against Israel -- Kahane was right, they must go.

Israel needs to arrange a close call for the scumbag "king" to remind him how close he is to losing everything if he continues to piss off his only friend in the region.

Think of the Cherubim on top of the Ark: two faces pointing towards each other.

Then think of the evil Cherubim. That is his face. The face of the adversary, gazing at his own reflection in hellish narcissism.

God will cast down this abomination from His Holy place!

And perhaps this is the time appointed. In fact this pipe-bomb affair may be the trigger.

14 Shemitahs/2 Jubilees ago the Jewish people received their homeland back.

7 Shemitahs/1 Jubilee ago the Jewish people received Jerusalem back.

This Shemitah: perhaps God the Father of Mercies will give back to the Jewish people full possession of the Temple Mount.

May God take possession of it and make it truly sacred once more!

+ We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ +

Many church leaders are being drawn into the Ecumenical/Universalist web he is weaving. Rick Warren will be speaking at one of his events. One world religion is on its way under the guise of tolerance and ‘unity’. True Believer's and followers of Jesus Christ who remain true to His word will be labeled legalistic, intolerant and divisive and be treated as pariahs.

I’m so sad for those, like you, who are young and should be able to look forward to a brighter earthly future than seems to be evident at this time in history. However, if you ground yourself and your family in the Scriptures and study them, you’ll realize that all the blessings we enjoy on this earth are paltry in comparison to what The Almighty has in store for those who love Him. Scripture tells us that all these horrid things have to happen so that His purpose can be realized.

In fact, Jesus himself told us that, when we see these things begin to happen, we shouldn’t be troubled by them at all. Bless you and your children. I know(I can hardly do it myself) that it’s hard to see what’s happening and not feel like you should just give up looking forward to any kind of future for you and your children. But if we love Our Creator and remain faithful through all this as He has told us to do, then we have a brighter future than any of us could imagine and it’s going to last forever.

BUT, if we’re around for the last half of the Tribulation”

Am I a coward for not wanting to be around for that? I have a very low pain threshold.

I’ve wondered the same thing about myself. I pray that I would have the strength to endure to the end. I, like many Americans, have always thought we were immune from having to suffer like that in this nation. But if we do, it’s either that or eternal damnation because only those who endure to the end will stand at the end of days. Christians have been suffering in unimaginable ways for their faith for thousands of years. I suppose we shouldn’t consider ourselves any different in these times.
