On 2nd December, 1998, the General Assembly of the U.N. passed a number of resolutions against Israeli. The first stated that Israeli sovereignty and law in Jerusalem is illegal. The decision also stated that the U.N. regrets that two embassies, those of Costa Rica and El Salvador, are in Jerusalem in this way they recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel . Another resolution called for Israel to withdraw from the Golan Heights while a third called on Israel to give self-determination to the so-called "Palestinians".
149 states voted in favor of the first resolution. Only Israel voted against the resolution while the United States and another 6 states abstained. 154 states voted for the resolution calling for self-determination for the "Palestinians". The resolution also called on Israel to withdraw from Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
This is not the firs time that this evil organization has passed resolutions against Israel. The meaning of these resolutions is very clear. All the nations of the world are against Israel. Again the giant Goliath is against the small David. They are armed with all the weapons and evil and small Israel has only a small stone and the Name of the G-d of Israel in her heart and on her lips. But this is enough. Israel, together with G-d, as in the Biblical times, becomes a majority and all the nations become a minority. 154 nations decided to fight against the prophetic decision of G-d to redeem the people and land of Israel and again to make Jerusalem the eternal capital of the G-d and people of Israel.
Jerusalem was founded 3000 years ago by King David to be the eternal capital of Israel according to the word of G-d. Since this moment and even before when G-d sent Abraham and Isaac to Mt.Moriah, Jerusalem became the heart of G-d and the people of Israel. The House of G-d, the Temple, was built with an unlimited dedication and devotion by the people of Israel for the honor of G-d that stated in His word that He wants to dwell in the midst of His chosen people, Israel, on Mt.Moriah in the midst of Jerusalem. The people of Israel swore "If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy." (Psalm137:5,6) For thousands of years the faces of every Jew have been directed to Jerusalem when they pray. The synagogues are built facing Jerusalem. The dead are buried facing Jerusalem. Jerusalem is in the heart of every Jew whether in joy or in sorrow. Jerusalem and the Temple Mount are the heart, soul and focus of every Jew and the State of Israel. Israel cannot exist for one moment without the G-d of Israel and Jerusalem which is the house of the G-d of Israel. This is a unique story of unique love between Israel and her G-d and her capital, Jerusalem. You will not find a similar case in the history of all the nations. Jerusalem is mentioned more than 700 time in the Tanach with deep love, appreciation and desire. The people of Israel glorified Jerusalem for thousands of years and built it to be the most city in the world not only because this city is their beloved capital but because this is the city of the G-d of Israel where His House dwells.
In the Q'uran, the holy book of the Muslims, Jerusalem is not mentioned even once. The Muslims occupied Jerusalem in 638 C.E. They controlled the city for almost 1300 years as a result of an imperialistic occupation. They occupied almost half of the world. Even after such along occupation, they never made Jerusalem as their capital. When they pray they face towards Mecca in Saudi Arabia very far from Jerusalem. They bury their dead facing to Mecca. When the pray on the Temple Mount or in Jerusalem they pray towards Mecca and their back to Jerusalem. After occupying Jerusalem, they destroyed the last beuatiful remains of the Temple and the city which the Jews built with such devotion, and made it another unknown, small and degenerate oriental city.
After a long time in the terrible, evil exile, after 1900 years of terrible persecution, holocaust, inquisition and many millions of Jews being killed because of their faithfulness to the G-d of Israel, His Word, the land of Israel which he gave them in an eternal covenant, to the city of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount and fighting for their dream and desires to se the fulfillment of G-d's prophetic promises to bring them back to the land, in a miraculous way G-d brought them back to the land in our time. He replanted their roots in the promised land. He liberated the land, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount from foreign British and Arab occupation and again founded the State of Israel. More than 20,000 Israeli soldiers and many civilians died in the battles which the Arabs, together with their allies all over the world, fought against the G-d and people of Israel to destroy G-d's prophetic plans to again make the land and people of Israel a Biblical nation, to rebuild the House of G-d and to bring Mashiach ben David and to again make Israel a treasure amongst all the nations. The foundation of the State of Israel means the opening of the door for the redemption of all the nations.
Now the U.N. wants to try to stop G-d's prophetic plans and to destroy Israel. They prefer the oil, money and the physical power of the Arabs and the Muslims above the G-d of Israel and the Universe and his plans to redeem, not only Israel, but all the world. 154 nations voted against G-d, Jerusalem and the chosen people of G-d, Israel. Even the United States, which was founded by G-d to stand with and for Israel against her enemies at this critical time, was not with the G-d and people of Israel. Such a shame. I am sure that the decision of the American president and government does not express the feelings of the majority of the American people who love Israel and her G-d. This is a time of testing for all the nations and the do not have the moral strength to meet this test.
We are living in the prophetic end-times which G-d prophesied through his prophets. Israel is at the focus of this time. G-d is again in the land of Israel and He is determined to accomplish His prophetic end-time plans for Israel. No one, even all the nations of the world, will succeed in stopping G-d and His determined decision to fulfill His prophetic plans for Israel. The prophets of Israel spoke in the Name of G-d and exposed this evil behavior of all the nations against the G-d and the people of Israel./ They spoke of the judgement on all the nations which is soon to come. The prophet Obadiah speaks of the nations which will come to take Jerusalem and the land from Israel and their judgement; "For your violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever. On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried away his wealth, and foreigners entered his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, you were like one of them. But you should not have looked in the day of your brother, in the day of his misfortune; nor should you have rejoiced over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress. You should not have entered the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; nor should you have been among those who looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; Nor should you have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his who escaped; nor should you have delivered up those of his who remained in the day of distress. For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your reward shall return upon your own head. For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually; indeed, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been. But upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions. And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble, and they shall burn them and consume them; and none shall remain of the house of Esau; for the Lord has spoken it. And they of the Negev shall possess the Mount of Esau; and they of the Shephelah the land of the Philistines; and they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria; and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. And this exiled host of the people of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, as far as Zarephath; and the exiles of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the Negev. And saviors shall ascend Mount Zion to judge the Mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's." (Obadiah10-21)
The prophet Zechariah says the same in the Name of G-d; "The Lord has been much displeased with your fathers. Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord of hosts; Turn to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will turn to you, said the Lord of hosts. Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried out, Thus says the Lord of hosts; Turn now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings; but they did not hear, nor did they listen to me, says the Lord. Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live for ever? But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? So that they repented and said: As the Lord of hosts intended to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so has he dealt with us. On the twenty fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shvat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiahu, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying: I saw in the night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees in the glen; and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses. Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who talked with me said to me, I will show you what these are. And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the Lord has sent to walk to and fro in the earth." (Zechariah1:2-10)
The G-d of Israel says the same through the prophet Ezekiel; "Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwells securely, shall you not know it? And you shall come from your place from the farthest north, you, and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army; And you shall come up against my people of Israel, like a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes. ... And it shall come to pass on that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord God, that my fury shall be roused. ... And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus said the Lord God; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; And I will turn you around, and entice you on, and will cause you to come up from the farthest north, and will bring you against the mountains of Israel; And I will strike your bow from your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall from your right hand. You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you, and all your bands, and the peoples that are with you; I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. You shall fall upon the open field; for I have spoken it, says the Lord God. And I will send a fire on Magog, and among those who dwell securely in the islands; and they shall know that I am the Lord. And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them profane my holy name any more; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. Behold, it has come, and it is done, says the Lord God; this is the day of which I have spoken. And those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the staves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire for seven years; And they shall take no wood from the field, nor cut down any from the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire; and they shall destroy those who destroyed them, and rob those who robbed them, says the Lord God. ... Therefore thus says the Lord God: Now will I bring back the exile of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be zealous for my holy name; ... When I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, who caused them to be led into exile among the nations; but I have gathered them to their own land, and have left there none of them any more. And I will not hide my face any more from them; for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, says the Lord God." (Ezekiel38:14-16,18;39:1-10,25,27-29)
How blind all the nations and the U.N. are. They cannot see this Word of G-d or understand that they are nothing compared to G-d. They can pass all the resolutions in the world but only the resolutions of G-d will be fulfilled and their evil resolutions will fall and they will be punished. Why can't they learn from the Word of G-d and history? The are deluded if they think that they can destroy G-d's decisions. Why don't they learn from the history of the major powers which decided to destroy the G-d and people of Israel and made resolutions against them over the centuries and they were terribly punished by G-d and disappeared from history. Why are the unable or unwilling to understand that only the G-d of Israel controls the destiny of the nation of Israel and none pf its enemies. He is determined not to allow any one of them to even touch the people and land of Israel. The people of Israel are dedicated to be faithful to the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to His Word and to the land that He gave them in an eternal covenant, to Jerusalem and to the Temple Mount. Whether all the nations want it or not, G-d will soon accomplish His prophetic plans for Israel. He will rebuild His House and Mashiach ben David will soon come. In the G-d of Israel we trust.
