The following are two posts from May of this year (the second post) and May of 2017: This is but one issue with President Trump that needs cleared up a bit. He did not move our embassy because
he keeps his promises....he keeps promises only when he has to....he needed some points at the time... and he also thought that it might be useful in Jared's peace agreement plans:
Biblically speaking....acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moving our embassy there is not blessing Israel....nor is it cursing Israel. The official delineation of a nation's capital is but a relatively recent political convention. Jerusalem is Jerusalem whether it is acknowledged as a capital or not. Evangelicals are thrilled....some even ecstatic over this political move. What moves me is that God will....and maybe soon....open the eyes of many Jews as to who their Savior is.....and to the glory and Majesty of Jesus Christ....just as He has opened our eyes to our sin....and our redemption through the blood shed on that hill in the city at the epicenter of world news today! The following post is from May of 2017 and the post following that is from earlier this year:
On June the 7th 1967, an Israeli paratroop brigade captured the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. There is a documentary/movie just released depicting that battle. I saw that film tonight, appropriately titled The Battle For Jerusalem, in a one night only showing that was in select theaters across America.
At 6 p.m (EST) on May 14th, 1948 the British mandate over Palestine expired and eleven minutes later President Harry Truman directed, over strong internal opposition, that the United States officially recognize the new state which would be later be called Israel. We are nearing the 70th anniversary of that date. We are also coming up on the 50th anniversary of the day that Israel took control of the old city of Jerusalem, vowing never to give it up again. I was seventeen years old during that which came to be known as the Six Day War.
It has been nearly 2000 years since the vast majority of Jews rejected the very Messiah that they had been waiting for. God then let them go their own way and their house was left desolate. There will be no lasting peace in Jerusalem until Jesus descends on the Mount of Olives in the same way that He ascended. What we are doing now is merely attempting to hold off wars until they can no longer be held off. Neither nation....America or Israel....has God's protective hand upon it today.... for both nations are in full rebellion to Him. If we miss this....which unfortunately we have....we go forward in merely our own strength.
The film that I mentioned at the beginning of this post showed God's miraculous dealings with a new nation.....and a people that He has not completely forsaken.....a people whom He will cause to call out to Him in their most difficult hour. God's people today....the redeemed.... are those of any background....both Jew and Gentile.... that have come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Moses related these words that God had given to Abraham..."...I will bless those who bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee..." Has this not proven out many times? America had blessed Israel simply in that it treated Israel fairly. Under Barack Obama we in essence cursed Israel. We pretended to be their friend while greatly enabling their enemies.

The Battle For Jerusalem portrayed very accurately God's faithfulness....not at all in that Israel is the economic and military power that it is today....but in that He gathered again as He said that He would....those who once looked to the coming of their Messiah but rejected Him whom they looked for....and will make known to them this their Messiah upon His return! We cannot know in detail what will happen in the days just ahead.... but we are confident of and rejoice in the end of all things.....and for this....all praise is to be given to this merciful Savior....faithful and blessed Mediator.....and coming King!
Israel....Blessing and Cursing....
The United States with Harry Truman as its president immediately recognized the state of Israel on May 14th, 1948 after the provisional government led by David Ben-Gurion proclaimed Israel to be an independent nation. This was an example of another nation 'blessing' Israel. Failing to do this would have been an example of 'cursing' Israel." As for 1948, God was regathering Israel who is today as rebellious to God as we are. The 70th anniversary of this is only weeks away and although we may interpret this any way that our conscience leads us....to not see the prophetic implication of the new state of Israel.....and the 70 year period....is to miss for whatever personal theological bias....something that should be not only obvious......but a source of rejoicing that our Lord's Return must be near!
President Trump announced in December that we would be officially recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and that moving our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem would signify that. This is neither blessing nor cursing Israel....nor does it have anything to do with it being God's special plot of land. What it may do is have significant prophetic significance.
To my evangelical brethren.....God could care less what city Israel calls its capital.....Jerusalem is Jerusalem to him....capital or not....and He also takes absolutely no pleasure in the Masonic architecturally designed, obelisk and near-temple structured fetid swamp of our capital with its hideously designated Washington National Cathedral as our 'National House of Prayer.' What he has done is that he has placed a hook in the mouths of Israel's enemies. Populist President Donald Trump is but a world leader placed where he is for a particular purpose.....a purpose that the evangelical misconstrues as making America great again."
America had to one degree or another continued to bless Israel through the Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, H. W., Clinton, and W. administrations. We began to curse Israel under President Barack Obama. Whether President Trump blesses or curses Israel will depend on, one....how truthful and transparent he is right now with Israel's government.....and, two.....if he keeps America's commitment as an ally.
