Jerusalem <\/em><\/p>\n COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n Each year thousands of Palestinians rally in Jerusalem to celebrate ‘Nakba Day’ on May 15th.<\/p>\n Here is some Palestinian news:<\/p>\n 15 May 2018<\/p>\n Palestinians renewed marches and protests on the 70th Nakba day, one day after Israel has killed 61 peaceful protesters on the Gaza border while the US was opening its embassy in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n The day was announced as a general strike in all institutions.<\/p>\n Clashes broke out Tuesday morning between the citizens and the occupation forces in the areas of \u200bcentral Hebron and the northern entrance of the city of Qalqilya, Bethlehem and Ramallah.<\/p>\n In Hebron, youths blocked the roads leading to Bab al-Zawia area with stones and containers. Soldiers surrounded dozens of houses and buildings in the area and fired sound bombs in the area. http:\/\/english.pnn.ps\/2018\/05\/15\/protests-clashes-renewed-on-nakba-day\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n There were reasons to have more concerns about it this year:<\/p>\n May 14, 2018, will likely go down in history as one of the most festive days that Israel has ever known. At long last, the United States, the world\u2019s greatest superpower, will move its embassy to Jerusalem. The prime minister will give a speech, joined by his ministers and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, with \u2014 just possibly \u2014 a guest appearance by US President Donald Trump himself; a real celebration.<\/p>\n But an \u201calternative party\u201d is already in the works: enormous Palestinian protest events, with the largest of them planned for the Gaza Strip. Preparations are under way for marches that will set out toward the border fence with Israel. Such a massive event, on the scale of the refugees\u2019 march to the Israeli-Syrian border on the Golan Heights on Nakba Day in 2011, could become problematic for the State of Israel and for the Israeli army \u2014 to put it mildly.<\/p>\n It bears mention that the Palestinians observe Nakba Day (nakba<\/em> means \u201ccatastrophe\u201d) every year on May 15, the day after the Gregorian date on which the establishment of the State of Israel was declared. All the Palestinian organizations, without exception, mark the event that led to the alleged expulsion of hundreds of\u00a0thousands of Palestinians from their ancestral territories. Nakba Day has long been a hate festival, including explicit calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and the return of all the refugees to Haifa, Jaffa, and so on.<\/p>\n Still, this year it is is a particularly explosive combination: the seventieth anniversary of the \u201ccatastrophe\u201d alongside the celebrations that Israel and the US are planning regarding Jerusalem and moving the embassy. Thus, on the Palestinian side there could be a surplus of motivation among the public to go out and take part in these events, including marches toward the border fence in Gaza.<\/p>\n The preparations are being made mainly on social networks. 03\/04\/18 https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/when-nakba-day-meets-us-embassy-move-day-expect-fireworks-in-gaza\/<\/a><\/p>\n This year marks the 70th<\/sup> year of Nakba:<\/strong>\u00a0 Nakba Day\u00a0, Yawm an-Nakba<\/em>, meaning \u201cDay of the Catastrophe\u201d is generally commemorated on 15 May<\/strong>. The day was inaugurated by Yasser Arafat in 1998. For the Palestinians it is an annual day of commemoration of the displacement that preceded and followed the Israeli Declaration of independence\u00a0in 1948. During the 1948 Palestine War, an estimated 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled\u00a0, and hundreds of Palestinian towns and villages were depopulated\u00a0 and destroyed. These refugees and their descendants number several million people, divided between Jordan (2 million), Lebanon\u00a0(427,057), Syria\u00a0(477,700), the West Bank (788,108) and the Gaza Strip\u00a0(1.1 million), with at least another quarter of a million internally displaced Palestinians in Israel. The displacement, dispossession and dispersal of the Palestinian people is known to them as\u00a0an-Nakba<\/em>, meaning \u201ccatastrophe\u201d or \u201cdisaster\u201d.<\/p>\n US Embassy to be moved to Jerusalem:<\/strong> President Trump announced late last year that the U.S. will formally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel \u2013 and it looks like the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem\u00a0 will open in May 2018<\/strong>\u00a0in order to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Israel declaring its independence, the Trump administration said on Feb. 23.The Trump administration\u2019s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital was heralded by many pro-Israel activists but decried by Palestinians and America\u2019s Arab allies. Religious leaders, including Pope Francis and Christians living in Israel, have expressed dire concerns that the move would incite unrest in the volatile region.\u201dWe are certain that such steps will yield increased hatred, conflict, violence and suffering in Jerusalem and the Holy Land, moving us farther from the goal of unity and deeper toward destructive division,\u201d 13 Patriarchs and leaders of Christian Orthodox communities have written in an open letter to Trump. American Muslims have expressed nearly universal dismay at the move. \u201cIn an already volatile region, Mr. Trump\u2019s action will be akin to dousing gasoline on a burning fire,\u201d said Ebrahim Moosa, a professor of Islamic studies at the University of Notre Dame. \u201cThe US will also sign itself into irrelevance in Mideast matters\u2026\u201d 04\/08\/18 http:\/\/ncci1914.com\/2018\/04\/09\/may-15-2018-70-years-of-the-nakba-the-catastrophe\/<\/a><\/p>\n Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas<\/a>‘s spokesman said on Monday that the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem<\/a> would create incitement and instability in the region and ruled out Washington as being a mediator for Middle East peace. Abbas also said that the embassy was a “new settlement” in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n >>\u00a0Jerusalem embassy and Gaza protests: Click for live updates<\/a>\u00a0>><\/strong><\/p>\n “With this step, the U.S. administration has cancelled its role in the peace process and has insulted the world, the Palestinian people and the Arab and the Islamic nation and it has created incitement and instability,” said Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rdeineh.<\/p>\n The U.S. officially\u00a0opened its embassy in Jerusalem<\/a> Monday afternoon amid clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians<\/a> at the Gaza border that have killed dozens of protesters and wounded hundreds more. 05\/14\/18 https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/middle-east-news\/palestinians\/abbas-blasts-u-s-embassy-move-an-insult-to-world-and-palestinians-1.6091355<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Bible shows that a European leader will confirm a ‘peace deal’ in that region (Daniel 9:26-27). While the USA may well be involved, scripture does not say that the USA has to be.<\/p>\n There is a real social division in Jerusalem. A formal political division may also come.<\/p>\n Yesterday, Israel’s Prime Minister made some statements:<\/p>\n May 14, 2018<\/p>\n Amid violent Palestinian protests, the U.S. officially opened a new embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, drawing effusive praise from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n \u201cToday, today, the embassy of the most powerful nation on earth, our greatest ally, the United States of America, opened here,\u201d Netanyahu at a ceremony marking the event.<\/p>\n \u201cGod bless the United States of America and God bless Jerusalem, the eternal undivided capital of Israel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the health ministry in Gaza run by Hamas, a U.S.-declared terrorist organization, claimed dozens of Palestinians protesting at the border were killed by Israeli fire. The Israeli military said it was repelling an effort by Hamas to breach the border. http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2018\/05\/this-is-history-u-s-embassy-opens-in-jerusalem\/#QCHpZIu03Pu887So.99<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n He is in error. Jerusalem WILL NOT remain the tiny nation of Israel’s eternal and undivided capital.<\/p>\n The Bible also suggests that Jerusalem will be divided (although this could be more of a Palestinian vs. Catholic division or one between Beast supporters and non-supporters as it is to occur during the Day of the Lord):<\/p>\n 1 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, 2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, the current conflict between Iran and Israel, the unrest in Syria and the Muslim Brotherhood, and other Islamists rising up in the Middle East, combined with European\/United Nations\/USA views are setting the stage for the dividing of Jerusalem in the 21st century. And based upon other prophecies about the Gentiles controlling Jerusalem for a certain period (e.g. Revelation 11:2), it suggests that it will be the Israelis that will ultimately be taken captive.<\/p>\n The European Union and the former UN Secretary-General (Ban Ki-moon) want to divide Jerusalem now to partially satisfy many Palestinians. Possibly through the treaty of Daniel 9:27, the dividing will happen and the captivity of 1\/2 of Jerusalem ultimately will come to fulfill Zechariah 14:2 (see Will the Anglo-Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?<\/a>).<\/p>\n The Bible clearly warns of a time of armies and Gentile domination of Jerusalem:<\/p>\n 20 But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. (Luke 21:20)<\/p>\n 15 \u201cTherefore when you see the \u2018abomination of desolation,\u2019 spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place\u201d (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 \u201cthen let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. (Matthew 24:15-17)<\/p>\n 23 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Luke 21:23-24)<\/p>\n 2 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. (Revelation 11:2)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As far as Jerusalem being “surrounded by armies,” about three years ago USA President Barack Obama proposed something just like that (see Will Obama\u2019s Plan Have Jerusalem Surrounded by Armies?<\/a>). Biblical prophecy will be fulfilled.<\/p>\n Various rallies by the Palestinians show that they remain committed to Jerusalem. To a degree, some in the international community will support them.<\/p>\n We all should watch (Mark 13:37).<\/p>\n Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n Jerusalem: Past, Present, and Future<\/a> What does the Bible say about Jerusalem and its future?

\nEvangelical support for Donald Trump\u2019s Jerusalem policy <\/a> BBC asked, \u201cWhy do US evangelicals support Trump\u2019s Jerusalem policy?\u201d BBC provided quotes from some believing it has to do with the \u2018last days\u2019 while others saying that is not the reason. Hal Lindsey\u2019s book, \u2018The Late Great Planet Earth\u2019 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 \u2018fig tree\u2019 interpretation, belief about a \u2018Third Temple,\u2019 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.
\nJerusalem, Donald Trump, and Prophecy <\/a> On December 6, 2017, US President Donald Trump fulfilled a campaign promise related to the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel\u2019s capital. This brought anger, protests, and rockets from some Palestinians. It also brought condemnation from European allies\u2013it 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 \u2018Cyrus.\u2019 Do the Jews require a Third Temple for sacrifices? Dr. Thiel answer those questions and more in this video.
\nAnglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel<\/a> Are the Americans, Canadians, English, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Saxon (non-Dutch) Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph? Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? What will happen to Jerusalem and the Jews in Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo-Saxon nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first?

\nIs There A Future King of the South?<\/a> Some no longer believe there needs to be. Might Egypt, Islam, Iran, Arabs, or Ethiopia be involved? Might this King be called the Mahdi? What does the Bible say?
\nThe Muslim Brotherhood and the Rise of the King of the South<\/a> The Bible tells of the formation of a power of nations that are in the Middle East and North Africa that are part of the final “King of the South” (Daniel 11:40-43) The Muslim Brotherhood wishes to have an Islamic empire with basically the same nations. This YouTube video explains what to expect from such a confederation.
\nThe Arab and Islamic World In the Bible, History, and Prophecy<\/a> The Bible discusses the origins of the Arab world and discusses the Middle East in prophecy. What is ahead for the Middle East and those who follow Islam? What about the Imam Mahdi? What lies ahead for Turkey, Iran, and the other non-Arabic Muslims?
\nDamascus and Syria in Prophecy <\/a>Will Bashar Assad hold power as he has it? Does the Bible show that Damascus, the capital of Syria, will be destroyed? What will happen to Syria?

Does Islamic prophecy predict the destruction of Syria. This is a YouTube video.
\nSyria and the start of World War 3<\/a>\u00a0On April 14, 2018, Syrians were awoken by the sounds of about 120 missiles\/bombs sent against areas of their country. The United States of America, United Kingdom, and France launched this attack related to claims of chemical weapons use earlier that week. Will Syria\u2019s capital one day be destroyed as prophesied in Isaiah chapter 17? If so, could this be before the start of the Great Tribulation? Are there prophecies about Syrians and the UK and USA? Is this attack against Syria leading to WWIII between the USA\/UK\/France and Russia\/Syria\/Iran? Is there an Arabic power that will rise up and be destroyed before the Great Tribulation as Tim McHyde has written related to Psalm 83? Is Ezekiel 38\/39 about to be fulfilled? Who is the biblical King of the North and the biblical King of the South? Will the Beast power destroy the USA and its Anglo-Saxon descended allies (like the UK, Canada, Australia, & New Zealand)?

\nTrump Presidency Magic 8 Ball or Bible Prophecy?<\/a> BBC<\/em> reported that one might as well use a ‘Magic Eight-Ball’ to try to predict what will happen in the remaining time of Donald Trump’s presidency. What is a ‘Magic Eight-Ball’? Dr. Thiel not only explains that, but also briefly goes over 10 biblically-based warnings he wrote would happen if Donald Trump were elected that have already began to come to pass. He also goes over something he wrote back in 2008 that the Trump presidency is also helping lead to fulfillment. Should you trust Bible prophecy or not? Dr. Thiel says that Bible prophecy can be trusted, despite the view of skeptics and others that either overlook or despise the Bible. This is a video.
