The Palestinian Authority's office for religious affairs in Jerusalem claims that the Western Wall, revered by Jews for generations as the last structural remnant of the second Temple, is Muslim property with the Palestinian Authority's website attempting to negate Jewish ownership of the Western Wall.
Rabbi Chaim Richman, Director of the International Department of the Temple institute, said that the Palestinian Authority claim to the Western Wall is part of a campaign to totally eradicate and destroy all Jewish connection to the Temple Mount, the city of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel.
Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
The Muslim claim of ownership of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, prayer site for the Jews down through the generations, has great prophetic significance, that is according to Bible prophecy. The Jewish people since the second century AD have gone to the western Wall to offer their three daily prayers because of the beloved Rabbi Akiva, the spiritual leader of the revolt back in the 130's AD.
Rabbi Akiva claimed that the Song of Solomon, a book in the Old testament, revealed that the Jewish Messiah was behind the Western Wall, and thus the reason for Jews offering their daily prayers at the Western Wall. The Islamic Trust in Jerusalem, custodians of the Temple Mount, have for years claimed there is no evidence that Jews were ever on the Temple Mount, and now they claim that the Western Wall is owned by the Muslims and the Jews have no right to be there.
Rabbi Richman's statement that this Muslim claim is part of a plan to eradicate all Jewish connections to the Temple Mount, the city of Jerusalem, and the land of Israel is in concert with the words of the ancient Jewish prophet Zechariah.
Zechariah 12:2-3 talk about Jerusalem as a place of controversy. Zechariah 1:12-16 actually discusses the Messiah's jealousy of the Temple Mount, His displeasure with these Muslim claims today, and His promise to return to the Temple Mount, and build His Temple there. Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
