"Jerusalem will be a heavy stone burdening the world…all the nations of the earth unite in an attempt…" — Zechariah 12:3 The Living Bible Catholic edition "…when you see the events taking place…the Kingdom of God is near." — Luke 21:30 The Living Bible Catholic edition Many blame worldwide terror on the situation in and around Jerusalem. Long ago the Bible foretold a time when "Jerusalem will be a heavy stone burdening the world." What happens next? The same prophecy says "all the nations of the earth unite in an attempt" to impose their solution. Zechariah 12:3 The Living Bible Catholic edition Are today's events moving in that direction? With neither side willing to yield on the status of Jerusalem, Israeli-Palestinian talks broke down more than a year ago. Now, as terror grips the world and tensions rise between Muslim nations and the West, many point to the violence in and around Jerusalem as the root cause. While radical Islamic leaders enlist followers to 'march on Jerusalem,' other diplomats seek to place Jerusalem under international control, policed by United Nations peacekeeping forces. “The diplomatic plan that Foreign Minister Shimon Peres is formulating with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is intended to prevent the international community from imposing its own plans on Israel, Sharon explained yesterday.” — The Jerusalem Post Internet Edition, November 7, 2001, article by Gil Hoffman datelined "JERUSALEM (November 7), paragraph one" Although foreign armies have surrounded Jerusalem in the past—even international armies during the crusades—never before has there been a fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy that "all the nations of the earth unite in an attempt" to impose their solution on Jerusalem. (Zech. 12:3 The Living Bible Catholic Edition) “Explaining the urgency of the Sharon-Peres diplomatic initiative, the Foreign Minister referred to plans circulating out of the United States, European Union, and United Nations and said that Israel cannot let its actions be driven by the agendas of other bodies with vested interests.” — The Jerusalem Post Internet Edition, November 7, 2001, article by Gil Hoffman datelined "JERUSALEM (November 7), paragraph two" Jesus said, "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near… it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth." - Luke 21:20, 26, 28, 35 NIV "'Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.' …'Yes, I am coming soon.' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus." - Revelation 22:7,20 NIV Return to Top of Page Page created 11/18/2001
