The Requirement for Every Christian

A recent report released by a leading research organization revealed that, over the past several years, there has been an increase in opposition and persecution of Christians, churches and Christian organizations in America. With America’s founders crossing the ocean to build a new nation based on freedom, including freedom of religion, many secularists are attempting to create a new social-secular “democracy” in America, with freedom from religion rather than of religion. To these individuals, any form of Christianity is a hindrance to the so-called progressive agenda. These people believe that the old foundations must be cracked, broken and removed to create a new world order and a society where man is his own god and secular humanism is the face of the new religion.

The requirement for every Christian is to get up, stand up, speak up, and vote.

                This should be of grave concern to Christians of all denominations. Anyone who stays informed is quite aware that America is a melting pot of ethnicity and religions. In the United States alone there are hundreds of religions, denominations, and opinions on Christian doctrine, some with minor differences between the groups, and always based upon a particular interpretation of scripture. Many of these differences are not based on the primary tenants of our faith—the virgin birth, the redemptive covenant, and the resurrection of Christ.

                However, we are now at a pivotal crossroads. The old ship of state is in the waters with storms brewing in all directions. The sailors must determine which direction to float the boat.

                For the past several weeks I have read on blogs and heard a few Christians state that they are not going to vote in the upcoming election because they disagree with both Presidential candidates. It appears these individuals are looking for a perfect leader who, may I remind you, does not exist except in the person of Jesus Christ. The second point is there will be Senate and House races that will determine who will pass the laws of our land—including laws that will infringe on our religious freedoms, or laws that will legalize abominations. The president nominates the Supreme Court Justices, court of appeals judges, and district court judges, and these are confirmed by the United States Senate. Our president will either stand with or against Israel. It is not just the mere election of a president that is at stake.

                I am boldly saying that every Christian needs to be registered to vote and needs to vote early or show up on election day in November and let you voice be heard in the voting booth. You may not like anyone on the ballot, but at least vote for those who best represent values that line up with Scripture and are best for the nation. The requirement for every Christian is to get up, stand up, speak up, and vote. All we must do for darkness to rule and oppression to reign is to do nothing. If you choose not to vote, then let me be blunt. You have no right to express an opinion about anything because you took no action; thus, you silenced your own voice. Just something to think about.

The rabbi of the Western Wall in Jerusalem refutes the PA president and says that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish people

The rabbi of the Western Wall at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz issued an unprecedented attack against the Palestinian Authority(PA) President Mahmoud Abbas following the statements by Abbas that Jerusalem will forever be Arabic, Islamic, and Christian.

Abbas made his comments at the 43rd anniversary of an Australian activist who attempted to set fire to al-Aqsa Mosque in an attack that only destroyed a pulpit that was installed by the famous Islamic leader Saladin.

The rabbi said that ancient coins, a wall built by Nehemiah, the prayers and hymns of people across the world, and the ancient Jewish prophets confirm the Jewishness of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount and its future.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

A denial of the Jewishness of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount by a Palestinian leader which has been refuted by the rabbi of the Western Wall is a precursor to the end times scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

PA President Mahmoud Abbas has rejected the Jewishness of the city of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount and has denied the presence of a Jewish Temple in the holy city throughout history. Abbas is in the face of all of history, even Islamic history that states the reality of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem for hundreds of years. The rabbi responsible for the care and worship at the Western Wall Plaza area which includes the Temple Mount has rebuked the PA leader and said that evil spirits cannot appropriate for themselves and their faith, i.e. the Muslims and the Islamic faith, this sacred piece of real estate.

The Muslims claim that the Temple Mount, al-Aqsa as they refer to the site, will be the headquarters of their worldwide kingdom, a caliphate. The rabbi quoted from Isaiah 2:2-3 that the mountain of the Lord, the Temple Mount, shall be established as the location for the Messiah to rule and reign from in the last days. Micah 4:2, a similar prophecy, states that the word of the Lord will go forth from this Temple Mount to teach the world of peace. Zechariah 6:12-13 confirms a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and that the Messiah, Jesus Christ will not only build that Temple but rule and reign from that Temple forever.

PA President Mahmoud Abbas is incorrect. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.

A radical Muslim preacher in Egypt says there will be a global caliphate, a Muslim kingdom headquartered in Jerusalem

Egypt's Islamists aim to install a global Islamic caliphate, a Muslim kingdom, that will rule the entire world from the Middle East and it will be known as the United States of the Arabs according to Safwat Higazi who recently addressed thousands of Muslim worshipers in Cairo's largest soccer stadium.

This radical Islamic cleric told the enthusiastic crowd made up of mostly members of the Muslim Brotherhood that they can now see how their dream of a worldwide Muslim kingdom will be set in place in the very near future.

Higazi told the Muslim worshipers that the capital of this caliphate, this kingdom, will not be Cairo and it will not be Mecca or Medina but the capital of the United States of the Arabs will be the city of Jerusalem.

The call for a global caliphate, a Muslim kingdom with Jerusalem as its capital city, is a page out of Bible prophecy for the end of times.

The Muslim Brotherhood has come to power politically in Egypt and now the religious element, the Islamists in Egypt are calling for a global caliphate, a worldwide Muslim kingdom to also come to power. In a recent gathering of hundreds and thousands of Muslim worshipers held in Cairo's largest soccer stadium, the Islamic cleric Safwat Higazi called for the capital city of this caliphate to be Jerusalem, not Mecca or Medina the two most sacred cities in the Islamic faith. If that end times scenario sounds familiar, it is because the Bible does lay out in its prophetic passages that the Messiah, Jesus Christ, will come back to the earth and setup His Kingdom, a kingdom that God, His Father gives Him, Daniel 7:13-14.

The Lord's Kingdom on earth will last for 1,000 years, Revelation 20:4-6 and then into eternity future, Zechariah 6:13. The Lord's Kingdom will be headquartered in Jerusalem, II Samuel 7:10-15 and Zechariah 1:16.

In the last days, the Muslims will come to Jerusalem and to try and setup a kingdom, but they will be destroyed and the Lord's Kingdom will rule and reign from Jerusalem.

The US State Department slams the Israeli government for not allowing Jewish worshipers to pray on the Temple Mount

The annual report on religious freedom issued by the US State Department has slammed the Israeli government for limiting the rights of Jewish worshipers on the Temple Mount and at the same time giving Muslims complete freedom to worship any way they want on this sacred site.

Israel's official policy is to allow freedom of religion and worship for all, but the Israeli police prevent Jews from praying on Judaism's holiest site, the Temple Mount. The Israeli government has claimed  the reason for restricting non-Muslims, i.e. Christians and Jews from praying on the Temple Mount is due to the possibility of an Islamic reaction that could cause a major war.

An annual report on religious freedom issued by the US State Department slamming the Israeli government for restricting Jews and Christians from praying on the Temple Mount is actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The most recent report on religious freedom around the world issued by the US State Department has slammed the Israeli government for not allowing freedom of religion and worship on the Temple Mount for both Jews and Christians. Israeli policy today is to limit the time that non-Muslims are allowed to even visit the Temple Mount and there is to be no prayer offered on this sacred site by non-Muslims. At the same time, the Israelis allow the Muslim worshipers on the Temple Mount complete freedom. Religious Jews are praying that this state department report will force the Israeli government to relax restrictions for Jewish and Christian worshipers on the Temple Mount.

According to the ancient Jewish prophets there will be total freedom of worship for Jews and Christians on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and possibly in the very near future. Zechariah says that the Messiah, Jesus Christ will return to Jerusalem and build His Temple on the Temple Mount, Zechariah 1:16 and 6:12. Isaiah foretold of a time when all worshipers would go up to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to learn as the Messiah teaches from this sacred site, Isaiah 2:4. Micah, another Jewish prophet said that the word of the Lord will go forth into all the world from the Temple Mount, Micah 4:2.

The future of the Temple Mount is as the ancient Jewish prophets foretell.
