[FairfieldLife] Obama plan, and stuff...

2014-10-07 Thread cardemais...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]
Jerusalem has been the capital city of the Jewish People for the last 3,000
years.  Still, Jerusalem warmly opens its arms to a variety of cultures and
religions, and many Muslims and Christians call it home.

Nations Up in Arms Over Additional Housing in Jerusalem Neighborhood
 
I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples 
reeling.  Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem.  (Zechariah 12:2)
 
Last week, the Jerusalem municipality announced the final approval for a 
building project that will add over 2,500 homes to Jerusalem's Givat Hamatos 
neighborhood.  Although the plan was announced last week, it was put into play 
about two years ago.
 
The United States, France and Germany criticized the move, seeing the growth of 
the neighborhood as endangering the two-state peace process, and calling for a 
reversal of the decision.
 
This sentiment, of course, aligns with a dramatic universal shift toward the 
insistence that Jerusalem be divided so that it becomes the capital of an Arab 
state and the capital of a Jewish state.
 
U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said of the mixed Jewish-Arab 
neighborhood that its expansion would poison the atmosphere not only with the 
Palestinians, but also with the very Arab governments with which Prime Minister 
Netanyahu said he wanted to build relations.
 
She also said that it called into question Israel’s ultimate commitment to a 
peaceful negotiated settlement with the Palestinians.”
 
We condemn the Israeli authorities decision to build 2,610 homes in Givat 
Hamatos, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said in a statement.
 
One cannot claim to support a solution and at the same time do things against 
without consequences being drawn, including at the European Union level, 
Fabius threatened.  (JPost)
 
 
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the condemnation, indicating 
that internationals had not learned the facts before responding.
 
It’s worth learning the information properly before deciding to take a 
position like that, he said.  The last phase of a building project is a 
statutory formality that does not require publicizing.
 
Although the Givat Hamatos expansion was widely publicized two years ago during 
the first phase, its recent approval was again widely publicized by incendiary 
anti-settlement group Peace Now—leading to the condemnations.
 
If this decision is upheld, it would mark the creation of a new settlement in 
east Jerusalem for the first time in more than 15 years, Fabius erroneously 
stated, disregarding the reality of the already existing, mixed-ethnicity 
neighborhood.
 
Netanyahu reminded world leaders that Arabs in Jerusalem purchase homes freely 
in the west of the city and nobody says that’s forbidden.  I don’t intend to 
tell Jews that they can’t buy homes in east Jerusalem, he said.
 
Nevertheless, that is the very thing that the proposed two-state peace plan 
intends to accomplish—in addition to divvying up the rest of the Promised Land 
in a dangerous patchwork quilt of unworkable borders.
 
The Obama plan would force Israel to give it all up, to divide Jerusalem, and 
return to indefensible borders.  This would be a grave error, writes author 
Joel Rosenberg.  It would severely jeopardize Israeli national security.  It 
would do so in direct defiance of the Holy Scriptures.  And it would draw the 
judgment of the Lord Almighty against the United States and all other countries 
involved in the process.

 
As the world increasingly pressures Israel to return to the Israel-Jordan truce 
lines (aka the 1967 borders or Green Line) even though Jordan itself has 
renounced all claim to those lands, it becomes increasingly clear that key 
end-time prophecies concerning Israel and Jerusalem are being fulfilled.
 
The prophet Joel, as one example, warns that God is not on board with plans to 
divide His land:
 
I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.  
There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people 
Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my 
land.  (Joel 3:2)
 
However, Yeshua (Jesus) reassures us that Believers who live in these last days 
should not fear, but eagerly await His return.
 
When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, 
because your redemption is drawing near.  (Luke 21:28)

/It looks like someone snipped and then changed the subject line, so 
that makes it difficult to follow the conversation. At the risk of 
sounding redundant we should probably note that Israel is the only 
country in the Middle East where people are free to practice their own 
religion./
