Grand Mufti: Jerusalem embassy move will result in war
US Consulate in Jerusalem (Magister)
Here is a Jewish report about the move of the US embassy to Jerusalem:
The Embassy WILL Move . . . and the World WON’T End
February 28, 2018
Instead of waiting until 2019 or 2020, the U.S. embassy to Israel will move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May. On Friday, the Trump administration said the ceremony converting a Jerusalem consulate into the embassy would coincide with Israel’s 70th birthday celebrations. …
The Palestinian Authority protested the idea of the United States celebrating a date they regard as the anniversary of their Nakba (“disaster”), but that’s as far as it went. …
The notion that Palestinian grievances are the sole or even main cause of instability in the Middle East was always a myth. So is the idea that peace can happen before the Palestinians admit defeat in their century-old war against Zionism. Yet by creating a fact on the ground that does nothing to impede a theoretical peace agreement, the United States has also exposed the hollow nature of the anti-Israel consensus that holds that any Western recognition of reality that forces the Palestinians to give up their illusions is inadmissible. If peace is to ever to come—and right now, it seems a long way off—it will be built on the kind of realism that Trump is employing, not on the kind of appeasement of Palestinian fantasies that often characterized the policies of previous presidents. …
Peace will have to await a sea change in their culture that will make it possible for their leaders to choose peace, rather than, as Abbas has consistently done, to pander to religious and nationalist fantasies that preclude it. http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/columns/jonathan-tobin/the-embassy-will-move-and-the-world-wont-end/2018/02/28/

Jerusalem embassy will bring war, warns grand mufti
State Department’s plan names May 14 as day for facility to open in Israel’s capital
A key Palestinian religious leader is warning that there will be war if the United States follows through on its announced plan to open an embassy in Jerusalem, which Washington now formally recognizes as Israel’s capital.
The threat, according to Palestinian Media Watch, comes from Sheik Muhammad Hussein, the grand mufti of Jerusalem.
The official Palestinian Authority daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida reported Hussein, described as “preacher at the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque,” “warned against the severity of the American administration’s decision on transferring its embassy to occupied Jerusalem.”
“He explained that the transfer of the American embassy to Jerusalem, if it is carried out, will not be an attack on the Palestinians alone, but rather a blatant attack on the Arabs and Muslims throughout the world … .and that it will not serve peace and security in the region, but rather bring upon it disasters of wars, anarchy, and instability,” the report said. http://www.wnd.com/2018/02/jerusalem-embassy-will-bring-war-warns-grand-mufti/#QJwxszggzCsYJLUO.99
Palestinians and much of the world community is deploring the announcement. The USA, Israel, and a few other nations support it.
But some consider the move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem as prophetic.

February 24, 2018
Some Christians believe World War 3 will start this year.
Serial predictor David Meade, who previously claimed the world would end on September 23 and November 19 in 2017, says WW3 will start in 2018. …
Mr Meade said: “Halfway through the Tribulation the Antichrist declares himself in the rebuilt Hebrew temple in Jerusalem. There’s major trouble from that point forward. Everything escalates a hundredfold. https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/922885/world-war-3-ww3-jesus-prophecy-kim-jong-un-donald-trump-end-of-the-world-nuclear-war
Because of Donald Trump’s decision related to Jerusalem, some think this will make it easier for a ‘Third Temple’ to be built there and that Donald Trump is the biblical ‘Cyrus’ (see Donald Trump reportedly a ‘Cyrus’ preparing the way for a new Jewish temple).
Notice a couple of accounts:
‘Trump is a modern-day Cyrus the Great’ Mike Evans founded the Friends of Zion museum in Jerusalem to cultivate the special bond between Evangelicals and Jews • Evans says Israel’s friends – 750 million Christian Zionists worldwide – outnumber its enemies • Evans: Trump won’t turn on Israel. …
It comes as no surprise that Evans speaks about Trump with such admiration. He doesn’t hide the fact that he believes that Trump “is a modern day Cyrus the Great” who entered the White House because God wanted to help the Jews, among other things. http://www.israelhayom.com/2018/02/16/trump-is-a-modern-day-cyrus-the-great/
This problem of Trump’s revelling in his sinful behaviour is mitigated for some evangelicals by the ‘evil kings’ narrative. Jack Jenkins of Religion News Service described for us the Cyrus analogy of an evil king who comes through for God’s people, so is tolerated and even thanked for having made provision for the needs and priorities of faithful believers.
This is not uncommon in conversations with evangelicals; 02/27/18 https://www.christiantoday.com/article/5-reason-white-evangelicals-voted-for-donald-trump/126490.htm
And as I reported here previously, there is now a coin from the Sanhedrin with an image of Donald Trump and Cyrus (see Sanhedrin Mints Silver Half Shekel With Images of Trump and Cyrus: Is the ‘third temple’ necessary for a successful Trump presidency).
Some believe that Donald Trump will cause a ‘third temple’ to be built in Jerusalem.
Essentially, this mainly has to do with prophecies related to animal sacrifices, though according to the Bible (see Ezra 3:6) and the Sanhedrin (see Why is a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem Not Required?), an actual ‘third temple does NOT need to be built for sacrifices to resume.
Bible prophecy shows that they will be stopped by the King of the North (Daniel 11:31) who will align with the final Antichrist.
What about war?
Yes, war or other regional conflict is possible.
One day, Jerusalem will be attacked:
8 He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest; 9 You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.(Isaiah 22:8-9)
One day, the nation of Israel will lose territory (for details, see the prophecies in the article Gaza and the Palestinians in Bible Prophecy).
Ultimately, and probably after conflict, a temporary peace deal will be put in place (cf. Daniel 9:27; see also The ‘Peace Deal’ of Daniel 9:27).
But this will not end as hoped by the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses) or Israel (cf. Daniel 11:31).
Despite certain Jewish and American hopes, steps are moving in this direction.

Evangelical support for Donald Trump’s Jerusalem policy BBC asked, “Why do US evangelicals support Trump’s Jerusalem policy?” BBC provided quotes from some believing it has to do with the ‘last days’ while others saying that is not the reason. Hal Lindsey’s book, ‘The Late Great Planet Earth’ is one of the sources pointed to. In this video, Dr. Thiel addresses scriptures related to Jerusalem as well as prophetic ones. He goes over the common ‘fig tree’ interpretation, belief about a ‘Third Temple,’ and statements about animal sacrifices. He explains biblical statements on those subjects as well as the views of certain modern Jewish organizations. This is a video.
Jerusalem, Donald Trump, and Prophecy On December 6, 2017, US President Donald Trump fulfilled a campaign promise related to the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. This brought anger, protests, and rockets from some Palestinians. It also brought condemnation from European allies–it has been claimed to be disruptive and even catastrophic. The Palestinian President (Mahmoud Abbas) said that this pronouncement eliminated the USA as being a fair mediator for a peace deal. Others have claimed that Donald Trump is an end time Cyrus and his pronouncement will lead to a Third Temple in Jerusalem. Is there ever going to be a peace deal? If so, will Europeans be part of it? Is Donald Trump a ‘Cyrus.’ Do the Jews require a Third Temple for sacrifices? Dr. Thiel answer those questions and more in this video.
