Ever Closer...Open Your Eyes

I received an email message from Jerusalem this morning that confirms what I feel Yehuweh is speaking to all who will listen.  Our Creator has given stern warning as to what would happen at the end of this age.  He has told us how to discern the times of the end.  Although the article was written in October of last year, it reminded me once again of how very close we are to the return of our Messiah.  Here is a partial quote from the article written by Robert Berger.

A senior government official says Israel is prepared to relinquish parts of Jerusalem as part of a peace agreement.

Israel's Deputy Prime Minister Haim Ramon says the Israeli government would support a division of Jerusalem as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians.

Ramon told Israel Radio that under the plan, Israel would transfer many of the Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem to the Palestinians.

This would be a key component of an Israeli-Palestinian declaration to be made at an international peace conference in the United States this year.

The plan marks a sea change in Israel's position, after it captured East Jerusalem from Jordan during the Six Day War in 1967. Since then it has been an Israeli slogan that Jerusalem would remain the united capital of the State of Israel forever. Ramon said Israel does not need 170,000 Arabs in Jerusalem, about a third of the city's population, to be citizens of the Jewish state.

Palestinian officials say Israel's position is a step in the right direction, but that it still does not resolve the key issue: sovereignty in Jerusalem's Old City. The Palestinians say any peace deal must be based on an Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 borders, which would include a pullout from the Old City.

Look at Revelation 11:1-3   Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.  And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” (Emphasis mine)

Once again, it comes home to us that Scriptural prophecy is being fulfilled in front of our eyes.  ALL misinterpretations will cease as truth is laid out in our newspapers and broadcast through the media.   I reserve further commentary for future writings.

 

Shalom
