Jerusalem in Scripture is based in the center of the earth (Ezek 38:12). It is where Solomon built the Temple of Yahweh, and where King David was promised an eternal dynasty by Yahweh in His soon coming Kingdom. The reason for this is that Mount Zion and Jerusalem is ground zero and the very place where the Garden of Eden existed. It is the place where the cherub called Lucifer, now called Satan, guarded the very Ark of the Covenant where Yahweh dwelled.

Ezek 28:13 You have been in Eden, the garden of Elohim. Every precious stone was your covering; the ruby, the topaz, and the jasper, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the turquoise, and the carbuncle, and gold; the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes in you. In the day you were created, they were prepared.

Ezek 28:14 You were the cherub that protected with your outstretched wings and I had put you in the holy Mountain of Elohim, where you were. You walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

There is no other city that is as important or that is mentioned in Scripture as much as Jerusalem. And not only is it the place where Yahweh’s sanctuary was built by King Solomon and where Yahweh Himself dwelt on the very Ark of the Covenant, but it was also the very place where the tribes of Israel would gather three times in the year at the Holy Days of Yahweh to appear before Him and bring their offerings and seek His blessing.

Deut 16:15 You shall keep a solemn feast seven days to YAHWEH your Elohim in the place which YAHWEH shall choose (Jerusalem); for YAHWEH your Elohim shall bless you in all your produce, and in every work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.

Deut 16:16 Three times in a year shall all your males appear before YAHWEH your Elohim in the place which He shall choose (Jerusalem): In the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and in the Feast of Weeks and in the Feast of Tabernacles. And they shall not appear before YAHWEH empty,

Deut 16:17 but each with his gift of his hand, according to the blessing of YAHWEH your Elohim, which He has given you.

Psa 122:1 [A Song of Ascents; of David.] I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of YAHWEH.

Psa 122:2 Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

Psa 122:3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is joined to itself, together.

Psa 122:4 There the tribes go up, the tribes of Yah; to the testimony of Israel; to give thanks to the name of YAHWEH.

Psa 122:5 For the thrones of judgment were established there, the thrones of the house of David.

Psa 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; those who love you shall prosper.

Psa 122:7 Peace be within your walls; prosperity in your towers.

Psa 122:8 Because of my brothers and my companions, I will now say, Peace be in you.

Psa 122:9 Because of the house of YAHWEH, our Elohim, I will seek your good.

However, due to 2500 years of Diaspora, and almost 2,000 years of replacement theology in Christianity, the remnant flock of Yahshua has forgotten about Jerusalem and the important role that it plays in end time prophecy.

Psa 137:1 There by the rivers of Babylon we sat down; also, we wept when we remembered Zion.

Psa 137:2 We hung our lyres on the willows in its midst.

Psa 137:3 For there our captors asked us the words of a song; yea, our plunderers asked joy, saying, Sing to us a song of Zion.

Psa 137:4 How shall we sing the song of YAHWEH on a foreign soil?

Psa 137:5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget;

Psa 137:6 let my tongue cleave to my palate, if I do not remember you, if I do not bring up Jerusalem above the head of my joy.

Due to the rise of end time America (Babylon) and the Babylonian culture that many have in these end times, so many of Yahshua’s end time flock have forgotten about Jerusalem, and yet when we look at end time prophecy, so much of that prophecy that is taking place and will take place happens and is centered around the very city of Biblical Jerusalem. And as a matter of fact, the whole plan of redemption that Yahweh has been working out with mankind the last 6,000 years is centered around the redemption of Jerusalem.

Psa 102:16 When YAHWEH shall build up Zion, He shall appear in His glory.

Psa 102:17 He will turn to the prayer of the destitute and will not despise their prayer.

Psa 102:18 This shall be written for the last generation, and people to be created shall praise YAHWEH.

Psa 102:19 For He has looked down from the height of His sanctuary; YAHWEH looked from Heaven to the earth,

Psa 102:20 to hear the groaning of the prisoner, to set free the sons of death,

Psa 102:21 to declare the name of YAHWEH in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem,

Psa 102:22 when the peoples and the kingdoms are gathered together to serve YAHWEH.

Only when Mount Zion is rebuilt, can the Messiah appear and bring the Kingdom of Yahweh to this earth. And the amazing thing is that over the last some odd twenty years, the archaeologists in the City of David have been digging and have uncovered and rebuilt the original Mount Zion and City of David.

Amos 9:11 In that day I will raise up the Sukkoth (Tabernacle) of David that has fallen, and I will wall up its breaks. And I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as the days of old;

And not only that, just as the above scripture states, they have discovered the very Tabernacle of David where the Ark of the Covenant once stood and where Yahweh promised to King David that a child out of his very loins would come and build a sanctuary for King David and he would rule with this eternal son in an everlasting dynasty forever.

2nd Sam 7:4 And it happened in that night, the Word of YAHWEH was to Nathan, saying,

2nd Sam 7:5 Go, and you shall say to My servant, to David, so says YAHWEH, Will you build a house for Me, for My dwelling?

2nd Sam 7:6 For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day; but I have been moving about in a tent, even in a shepherd’s hut.

2nd Sam 7:7 In all places in which I have gone with all Israel’s sons, have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel, those I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, why have you not built for me a house of cedars?

2nd Sam 7:8 And now, so you shall say to My servant, to David, so says YAHWEH of Hosts, I have taken you from the good pasture, from following the flock, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.

2nd Sam 7:9 And I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies from before you and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth.

2nd Sam 7:10 And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and not be made to tremble any more. Nor shall the sons of evil afflict them again, as at the first,

2nd Sam 7:11 even from the day I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. And I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. And YAHWEH declares to you that YAHWEH will make you a house.

2nd Sam 7:12 When your days are fulfilled, and you lie with your fathers, then I shall raise up your seed after you, who shall come out from your loins, and I shall establish his kingdom.

2nd Sam 7:13 He shall build a house for My Name, and I shall establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

2nd Sam 7:16 And your house shall be sure, and your kingdom before me forever. Your throne shall be established forever.

Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Creator Yahweh, and where His only begotten Son Yahshua, the very Son of David, will dwell during His 1,000-year millennial reign. It has been the capital of the nation of Israel for more than 3,000 years since the days of King David and is the most important city on the face of the earth. If any nation on earth wanted to be blessed in these most important end times that we are living in, you would think that they would support Israel and support the fact that Israel is the eternal undivided capital of the state of Israel. This would only be logical!

However, don’t look for logic in the Middle East, look for prophecy, and prophecy clearly states that in the last days that we are living in that all nations will not support Jerusalem as the eternal undivided capital of the State of Israel.

Zec 12:1 The burden of the Word of YAHWEH for Israel, says YAHWEH, who stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man in his midst.

Zec 12:2 Behold! I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the peoples all around, and it shall also be against Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.

Zec 12:3 And in that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it shall be cut in pieces. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday December 6th, 2017, announced that Jerusalem was the undivided capital of Israel and the United States moved their embassy there in May 2018. In response to President Trump’s announcement, the United Nations had an emergency meeting and the nations of the world overwhelmingly voted against Jerusalem being the undivided eternal capital of the State of Israel. Out of 172 nations voting only 9 nation states voted for Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

It is not only stunning and shocking, but as the above scripture states, it is prophecy being fulfilled.

Jerusalem is where the Garden of Eden was, it is where Yahweh’s sanctuary dwelt, and it is the place where Yahshua will reign for the 1,000-year millennium. But it was also the place of Satan’s rebellion, and the place that Yahweh will allow Satan to rule for 42 months before the Kingdom of Yahweh is set up.

Luk 21:20 And when you see Jerusalem being encircled by armies, then recognize that its destruction has come near.

Luk 21:21 Then let those in Judea flee into the mountains; and those in its midst, let them go out. And those in the villages let them not go into her.

Luk 21:22 For these are days of vengeance when all things that have been written are to be fulfilled.

Luk 21:23 But woe to the pregnant women, and the ones nursing in those days; for great distress will be on the earth and wrath on this people.

Luk 21:24 And they will fall by the mouth of the sword and will be led captive to all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by nations, until the times of the nations are fulfilled.

Luk 21:25 And there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars. And on the earth will be anxiety of nations with bewilderment, roaring of sea and of surf,

Luk 21:26 men fainting from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the earth. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Luk 21:27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and much glory.

Luk 21:28 But when these things begin to happen, have courage and lift up your heads, because your salvation draws near.

Rev 13:4 And they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast; who is able to make war with it?

Rev 13:5 And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to it. And authority was given to it to act forty two months.

Rev 13:6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemy toward YAHWEH, to blaspheme His name and His dwelling place, and those dwelling in Heaven.

Rev 13:7 And it was given to it “to war with the saints, and to overcome them.” And authority was given to it over every tribe and kindred and tongue and nation. (Dan 7:21)

Rev 13:8 And all those dwelling in the earth will worship him, those of whom the names had not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb having been slain from the foundation of the world.

Rev 13:9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

Satan is a liar and a counterfeiter. He will at times even make things look very close to the truth to deceive people, but Yahweh will only allow him to counterfeit the truth, but never to actually use the truth. That is why Satan has hoodwinked the world into believing that the current Temple Mount or Harem Esh Shariff, where the Muslim Dome of the Rock is, is the place where Solomon’s Temple stood; and yet this is false and only part of his end time counterfeit religious spirit that he has perpetrated on this earth.

The real Temple of Solomon and Sanctuary of Yahweh stood in the City of David just north of the area where the Tabernacle of David stood. And because Yahweh would never allow Satan to use the real Temple Mount to build him a sanctuary for his 42-month rule over Jerusalem and the world, he has tricked and deceived the world into believing the area of the Dome of the Rock is the true Temple site and will most likely build some shrine to himself in this area.

Mark 13:14 And when you see that which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, the sign of unclean desolation that was standing where it should not be, then let him who reads understand, then let those in Judea flee into the mountains.

We are getting close to this time in where all things written will be fulfilled, including the return of Yahshua to the Mount of Olives and Yahweh’s eternal Kingdom being set up from Jerusalem and going all over the earth. Yahweh has once again set up His chosen, called out, elect brethren to host the feasts of Yahweh in Jerusalem for the last 18 years now, and it has been one of the greatest honors of my life to be chosen by Yahweh to host these feasts of His in His set apart city.

In Diaspora, it is not a commandment to come up to Jerusalem at feast time, but it is actually a punishment of Diaspora that the Sons of Israel could no longer be able to come up to Jerusalem 3 times in the year during Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot and appear before Him for their blessing of obedience.

However, now in these last days when Yahweh is restoring all things, once again, Yahweh’s elect can come up to Jerusalem at feast time and appear before Him to receive their blessing. We have brethren coming from roughly 25 to 30 countries each Sukkot. And although due to finances and other reasons, it is not possible for all brethren to come up, even when one representative from a given region comes to appear before Yahweh; he/she comes on behalf of their nation and receives the blessing for all their people.

Time is running short! At a time where so many of Yahshua’s flock have forgotten Jerusalem and never even think of coming up to Israel and seeing the amazing wonders that Yahweh is restoring in these last days, why not pray about coming to a feast here and seeing the amazing restoration work that Yahweh is doing with this nation of Israel, (our inheritance), in these last days. I will guarantee, you will not be disappointed!
