Over 2013 we have had a lot
of conversations with a broadcast partner in Jerusalem, Rabbi Yoel Keren.
JD: We want to talk about
what's been going on as it relates to the Temple Mount, is it true, are the
Jews continuing to work towards access onto the Temple Mount and a freedom to
be able to spend some time in their most sacred piece of real estate in all the
world?
YK: At the end of every
calendar year, I sit there and I look at the year behind me and I say, "
you know what, we just got to keep on keeping on", because I don't really
see any progress; this year is a little bit different, this year - I really saw
some changes, this year - I am excited about the year to come. That’s the first
time I think I can say that in many years. I would say for the first time in
the history of the state of Israel, or at least we can say since 1967, the idea
that the Jews should assert their control and demand freedom of worship for all
Bible believing people, whether they be Jew or Christian, over the Temple
Mount, the one and only place where God said, ‘this is where My name will be
forever. It has entered now, the realm of the highest echelons of the Israeli
government and it’s not just something that is said by a few right wing
extremists. We haven’t seen that that since Israel took control of East
Jerusalem and the area surrounding the Temple Mount – we just haven’t seen it.
It's a brand new thing and it happened literally in the past few months.
JD: I’ve got to ask this
question – it begs to be asked; the fact is are the Moslems going to sit by and just watch
this happen or are they going to try and stop it?
YK: As usual, as we have
seen for the last 30-40 years, the Muslims will foam at the mouth, they will
throw rocks, they will do anything they can to stop this from happening but
ultimately they will have to accept the reality of Israeli sovereignty in this
land, on God's Holy mountain.
JD: As it relates to
the Temple Mount, of course you want this piece of real estate so that you can
erect a Temple, a Jewish Temple up there, how are the preparations, have they
all been made for this next Temple?
YK: There is little to nothing in our way right
now from bringing the sacrifices. But the obstacles that are in our path now are
few and far between, God has cleared the path for these things to happen.
Rabbi Yoel Keren with this special report about
the Temple Mount and the preparations to build the next Temple.
Jimmy's Prophetic
Prospective on the News
Let me remind you that
Yoel Keren can only forecast into 2014 based upon his thoughts, as he pulls
together his research and experience in the area that he has expertise in
today.
God's Word; however, is
absolute in the area of Bible prophecy. Let me suggest these prophetic passages
with a focus on the issues covered with Rabbi Yoel Keren.
Jews desiring access
onto the Temple Mount is talked about in Revelation 11:1-2 when John was
told to measure the spot for the Temple.
The Israeli government
is moving to make access for the Jewish people on the Temple Mount and that is
a part of Bible prophecy where the Lord uses human government Revelation 17
:17.
And I conclude with
information that all preparation has been made for the rebuilding of the Temple
in Jerusalem which was foretold by Daniel 9:27.
