The Six Day War between Israel and hate filled Arab nations in 1967 culminated with a Jewish victory after being attacked. The important outcome of the victory was that Jerusalem was no longer a divided city; Israel had won the City of David from hateful Mohammedans.
It has always been a wonder to me as to why Israel did not immediately control the land Al-Aksa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock were located. Those blaspheming pieces of architecture were built smack dab on the location of the holiest site to the Jewish people – the Holy Temple first built by Solomon, rebuilt by Zerubbabel and beautified by Herod.
If Israel had immediately taken control of the management of the Temple Mount at worst there would be no difference in hostilities today and at best the beginning of yet another restored Jewish Temple. Now it would be difficult to impossible to establish management of the Temple Mount. The Arabs have convinced the West that those Mosques are in the realm of Mohammedan holiness as Mecca and Medina. Israel would have to deal with the public outrage of Western Lefties and Mohammedan faithful.
The only way that Israel could fully control the Temple Mount today is if yet another invasion by the surrounding Arab and Mohammedan nations transpire to once again obliterate Israel. Then I hope (pending an Israeli victory) someone in the Israeli government will do something to satisfy the heritage of observant Jews and expectant Christians.
One last thing: It boggles my mind that Western nations that are the cradle of Christianity do not recognize the city of Jerusalem as Israel’s Capitol city. Not even the United States of America maintains their Ambassador in Jerusalem. This is a cruel snub in the face of constant Arabic and Mohammedan attacks through the years.
I pray that peace be upon the City of Jerusalem and Capitol of the returning King Jesus (Father I pray in Jesus' Name). Yeah I know, the “King Jesus” part is not exactly the same Jewish expectation, yet the Temple Mount under Jewish control is a united Evangelical Christian and Observant Jewish goal.

We heartily join in celebrating with you and the Jewish people the reuniting of your beloved city of Jerusalem forty years ago, the most remarkable of the many 'miracles' of the Six-Day War. This was nothing short of a biblical milestone, as the Hebrew prophets had promised that one day the Almighty would return the Jewish people to the heart of Jerusalem and would comfort you here.
Yet Jerusalem remains a "burdensome stone" among the nations, as borne out by the decision of much of the international community to boycott this year's Jerusalem Day observances. It was during a similar time of diplomatic isolation in 1980, when the last remaining national embassies departed from this city, that the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was established as an act of solidarity and comfort with the Jewish people in your ancient claim and deep spiritual connection to this city.
Today, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem represents millions of Christians worldwide who share a love and concern for Israel based on enduring biblical principles and promises.
The Jewish restoration to Jerusalem in modern times is one of the clearest cases of historic justice ever, whereby a people longing to return to a land and a holy city from which they were violently uprooted millennia ago finally realised that sustaining dream. Yet due to Arab pressures and threats, the Jewish return to Jerusalem has been perversely turned into an immoral act. This we cannot condone!
The momentous events of June 1967 demonstrated once more that God is indeed sovereign over human history, as is declared in the second Psalm, which also affirms a glorious future for Jerusalem. We are determined to stand by your side and see you through to that time when all nations shall flow together unto Zion (Micah 4:1-2).
May we all see the good of Jerusalem in our day!
The True Peace of Jerusalem

On this Christmas day it is good to think of the birth place of Jesus. He was born in the land of the Jews today should be known as Israel. Unfortunately the West has allowed Mohammedans to pressure them to give Arabs (created as Palestinians by surrounding Arab nations that lost a war in 1948) Jewish land. Bethlehem lay in this pseudo-Palestine.
Christians should be praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, i.e. the City of David – NOT Mohammed. (Psalm 122: 6-9)
Keeping that in mind, a Messianic Believer Jerry Golden has emailed me his feeling on what Jews are feeling in Israel. The email is part of the Golden Report that is a result of a list I belong to.

Golden Report
There are few in the know who believe that the present political environment can go much longer without the worse and most terrible war the Middle East has ever seen. What I and many others find so hard to understand is why this worthless Israeli Government sits still and waits to be destroyed when they are now able to preemptively do something about the build up of arms and weapons in Lebanon by Hezbollah and the Russian arming of Syria with long and mid range missiles. Russia is also sending more of the anti-Tank weapon that killed so many of our boys in Lebanon in this last war, that we lost to a Terrorist Group thanks to the worse leadership Israel has ever had.
But this Russian anti-tank weapon has taken away from Israel the advantage we have had with our superior tanks. Bashar Assad of Syria is speaking out of both sides of his mouth, telling the international press that he wants peace with Israel and at the some time telling his people that they will destroy Israel. In fact the Syrian people have been whipped into a frenzy of hatred towards Israel and demand that their government attack Israel. Their reasoning is if a Terrorist group (Hezbollah) can defeat the IDF surely we can.
The UN and the Multi-National Forces in Lebanon have not only sit still and allowed daily truck convoys of weapons to enter southern Lebanon rearming Hezbollah they have actually been coving for them. The French multi-national forces have threatened to shot down IAF planes that have been flying surveillance over Lebanon to try to keep an eye on the movement of arms. It is now known that Hezbollah has not only replenished the arsenal of missiles but now have improved and longer range missiles supplied by Iran and shipped through Syria.
With the US Navy 5th and the 6th Fleet now in the Persian Gulf Iran is getting very nervous, they are not crazy enough to attack the US Navy, but they have shown their hand in what they do intend to do. For the past year or more Iran has been supplying arms and money to Hezbollah and Hamas, Egypt has for all intent and purposes opened their border into Gaza in order to arm Hamas. Iran has spent untold amounts of money rearming Hezbollah and seem to be in a big hurry to get that accomplish. The hurry is obvious, they want to unite the Islamic Arab World behind their effort to destroy Israel in order to usher in their messiah the 12th Imam that Ahmadinejad openly says that Allah called him to do.
From what I have been able to gather from Mossad and Shem Bet here in Israel they don’t believe it will happen before the early part of this coming summer. That could be a terrible mistake as well because the enemy is also reading these intelligence reports.
Early this morning I drove by a place that is known to have nuclear “things”, I will of course leave the name of the place nameless, but I can tell you that for a Sabbath there was certainly a lot of military activity in that area. I also noticed that the very large satellite disks that are usually pointed towards the north, and west, were today pointed towards the east as if to be ready for anything coming from Iran. I never see Tank carriers moving in this part of Israel on a Sabbath, but then this was no regular Sabbath. So to say things are a little more than the usual uneasy around here would not be the truth. And for those who think I am disclosing something I shouldn’t I’ve said nothing that is not common knowledge around here. In fact, the whole world knows Israel is getting ready for what is coming at us.
If you’re interested in what I think I will tell you. Hamas, Hezbollah, along with Syria all at the same time will open up with everything they have holding back nothing. To make sure that Israel is overwhelmed and at that time we will see Iran launch their missiles at us. And once again we will see Egypt coming with all their American supplied weapons across the Sinai Desert right at us, including their F-15’s and F-16’s loaded with USA bombs.
For something interesting to think about, we read in Zechariah 13:8 AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT IN ALL THE LAND, SAITH THE LORD. TWO PARTS THEREIN SHALL BE CUT OFF AND DIE; BUT THE THIRD SHALL BE LEFT THEREIN. :9 AND I WILL BRING THE THIRD PART THROUGH THE FIRE, AND WILL REFINE THEM AS SILVER IS REFINED, AND WILL TRY THEM AS GOLD IS TRIED; THEY SHALL CALL ON MY NAME AND I SHALL HEAR THEM: I WILL SAY, IT IS MY PEOPLE; AND THEY SHALL SAY, THE LORD IS MY GOD.
Today two thirds of the entire population of Israel lives in the area of Tel-Aviv, which will be the main target of Iran in their attack. Along that coastal region is the most secular part of Israel. You well find that most of the observant Jews live in or around the Jerusalem area or in the hills that surround that city. I’ve given this a lot of thought before writing to you about it. The above Scripture makes a lot of sense when you consider the demographics of Israel in this light. What I’ve always found amazing is how God can get the most ungodly men too march to His Word. For example surely Assad of Syria is aware of Isa. 17:1 but it seems he is marching right into his own destruction. For you can be certain that Israel will totally destroy Damascus in fact, there is a very real possibility that much of what is now Arab country will be turned into a glass factory. You see we have no place to go, this is it for us, this is why we must win this next war, not to mention to restore the confidence of the Israeli people in the IDF. Simply speaking losing is not an option.
Another amazing thing, even with the knowledge of what is about to happen around here, Jews are moving to Israel by record numbers even from the US. France is about to turn completely over to Islam within the next few years. Britain has all but surrendered to Islam and to make sure they do you will see terrible terrorist attacks there in the near future. All the above will give the European Jews no other place to run to but Israel. But with the anti-aircraft weapons now in the hands of Hamas and Hizbollah (thanks again to Russia via Iran) it will not be long that no commercial planes will be flying into or out of Israel. The only possible way will be by boats and large passenger ships would be easy targets as well, just like God has shown us long ago smaller wooden vessels will be the only possibly way for many Jews to get home to Israel, isn’t God great. The vision God gave me several years ago that so many didn’t understand but can now see that we will be offering the only possible way for many and God willing we will save many.
