The Arab League made up of twenty-two Arab member states has issued a
warning to Israel to stay away from al -Aqsa Mosque which is located on
the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This location is a very sacred spot for
the Jewish people and the location of the first and second Jewish
Temples over a one thousand year period of time.
Surprisingly, the Arab League's statement termed, "the Mosque on the
Temple Mount" - the holiest of the Arab and Islamic holy sites which is
contrary to Islamic law that sets Mecca as Islam's holiest site. The
Arab League statement said al-Aqsa Mosque is a red line that must not be
crossed and any attack would endanger the safety and the stability of
the entire Middle Eastern region.

The Arab League's warning to Israel not to touch the Muslim Temple Mount is contradictory to history and Bible prophecy as well.
The Arab League, an organization of 22 Arab states, is very strong in
the Middle East and when they issue a warning, it should get everybody's
attention. The Muslim world does have custodial responsibility over the
Temple Mount but not to the extent that it can be referred to as the
Muslim Temple Mount. History contradicts these Muslim claims.
The Bible states that King David captured the Jebusite stronghold of
Jerusalem in 1048 BC. This is the time when David made Jerusalem the
political capital of the Jewish people, II Samuel 5. Several years
later, King David made Jerusalem the spiritual capital of the Jewish
people when he brought the Ark of the Covenant into the city. In 1012
BC, Solomon, David's son, built a Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount
referred to as Mt. Moriah in II Chronicles 3:1. Mt. Moriah is that
sacred spot where Abraham offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice unto the
Lord, Genesis 22 in 1872 BC. This history lesson proves that the Temple
Mount belongs to the Jews and has belonged to them for almost 4000
years. In addition to that, Bible prophecy says the Temple Mount will be
where the Lord will dwell among the Jewish people, His people forever,
Psalm 132:13-14.
History has been recorded and Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
