Think on this: “If I forget you, Jerusalem may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.”…”I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling…I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves…On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain in tact in her place.” (Psalm 137:5-6; Zechariah 12:1-6)
Pray on this: Father, as the battle for the control of Jerusalem rages, remind your people of your Word that declares you are in ultimate control and will indeed save Jerusalem. Help believers everywhere to stand with Israel during these difficult days. In Jesus name, AMEN!

The angst in your face (& voice) bears strong, firm resolve on behalf of Y’RUSHALAYIM.

Despite virulently “BLIND… INDIFFERENT… ANTAGONISTIC” resolve (as Norman Podhoretz puts it) toward our GOD’s eternal principles (& holy purposes for this ancient PEOPLE) ~
you still find your VOICE… week-in & week-out.
[In ‘utter’ words, Jim…T.J.C.I. is anything but ‘silent’ in the face of such danger & opposition.
And whether anyone ELSE is reading (or heeding)… be encouraged your voice & word is being heard on High, within the God-Head… in the courts of HEAVEN.]
All murderers will have their place in the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. It never ceases to amaze me how people can believe that their god would actually reward them for murdering innocents. That is the truest deception by Satan himself, the deceiver of mankind. And unfortunately, those who are deceived don’t know that they are deceived. That will be the ultimate tragedy on judgment day, for unbelievers and believers alike. Jesus commands believers to not only hear the gospel, but to obey the gospel. Disobeying the gospel will be the downfall of most so called believers.
My, my…

MARIE’s comments (below) really are “DAVKA”.

The bible is very explicit in that it is God who owns all the land, and that includes Jerusalem. These two groups are fighting over something neither own explicitly “owns”. If both began from that simple truth they would see it should be shared.
The land (under the old covenant) always represented the coming Kingdom of God, so…
It was at one time “leased” to tenants, but was taken away from them when the owner sent His servant, and finally His Son, and all were murdered by the tenants. It was
“taken away….. and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.”
Matthew 21: 33-46 – “Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. 34 When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit; 35 and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them. 37 Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39 And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” 41 They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures:
‘The very stone which the builders rejected
has become the head of the corner;
this was the Lord’s doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.”[b]
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them.
