Reports: The U.S. Embassy Move to Jerusalem is Happening

Israeli media is reporting the U.S. Embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is imminent. 

Israeli officials  are reportedly expecting US President Donald Trump to make a landmark announcement in the coming days regarding the move of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognizing the highly-sensitive holy city as Israel’s capital, according to a local TV report on Wednesday.

The report comes just a day after Trump’s vice-president Mike Pence stated that the President was “actively considering” how and when to move the US embassy.

According to the Hadashot report, the move could take place as soon as Sunday and Trump is instructing officials to prepare for it.

The news comes just one day after Vice President Mike Pence gave a speech at the UN, commemorating the 70th anniversary of Israel's foundation as a country.

70 years ago we recognized the future of the Jewish people lay in a state they could call their own, & today @POTUS is working tirelessly to strengthen the historic friendship b/w the US & Israel. If the world knows nothing else, the world will know this: America STANDS w/ Israel pic.twitter.com/6OiAO0AHVq— Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) November 28, 2017

President Trump promised to move the embassy on the campaign trail. Earlier this year, the White House officially postponed the decision to do so and did not indicate when a change would be made.

"While President Donald J. Trump signed the waiver under the Jerusalem Embassy Act and delayed moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no one should consider this step to be in any way a retreat from the President's strong support for Israel and for the United States-Israel alliance," the White House released in a June statement. "President Trump made this decision to maximize the chances of successfully negotiating a deal between Israel and the Palestinians, fulfilling his solemn obligation to defend America's national security interests.  But, as he has repeatedly stated his intention to move the embassy, the question is not if that move happens, but only when."

No word from the White House yet about this latest development.

“The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. 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 12:1-3).

Properly done, that embassy will have to be a high tech fortress. Maybe four or five stories of reinforced basements, not including separate basements for the parking garage.

Lower level storage will have to include water storage and purification, air purification, classified materials storage and destruction, an entire floor for secure communications, an armory, evacuation equipment, barracks, the list goes on and on.

Then the above ground levels will have to be very bomb resistant, mortar and rocket resistant, have a lot of communications and surveillance equipment on the roof, central ducted everything. Helicopter storage, maintenance and landing pad.

It would also be a really good idea to have a separate building, off the embassy grounds, for an annex to handle public relations with both Israelis and Americans.

“Properly done, that embassy will have to be a high tech fortress.”

So.... just like every other embassy we have in that crap-hole called the Middle East then. LOL - at least they should be that way.

Yes, they definitely lie about the dark-eyed houri(s) to the infidel.

“According to some “mullah”, it’s not virgins. It’s raisins.”

That’s according to a German (probably Turkish-German) scholar who published under a pseudonym to keep from being murdered. Here’s the book: https://www.amazon.com/Syro-Aramaic-Reading-Koran-Contribution-Decoding/dp/3899300882

Here’s an article about the virgins vs. raisins issue: The Great Koran Controversy: Will Muslim Martyrs Get 72 Raisins Instead of Virgins, & Other Speculations
http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/01/the-great-koran.html

I have no idea if the word was really virgins of raisins, but the context sure makes it seems like it has to be virgins. David Wood has a good video about this from 2010: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0-QnotpR78

70 years overdue but now thanks to President Trump, THANK YOU President Trump!.... no more embarrassment for USA at least on this point. NOW... we hear that President Trump is Draining the Nazi Alligator Swamp at least at the Snake Dept.....but yet that department still issues some very bad statements...revealing that the necessary Swamp Draining still has a long ways to go.
Cleaning out the Snake Dept...and all the Muslim/enemy agents obama packed into other critical agencies like defense, security, intelligence..... there’s a ton of Swamp Draining yet to come. We are praying for President Trump and his success!
