Jerusalem Declaration!
The event of Wednesday 6th of December 2017 was an
event of colossal magnitude, gigantic; politically, historically, biblically
and prophetically.
Jerusalem is "the center of the earth."
Not only is Jerusalem "the center of the earth",
it is the center of Christianity.
December 2016, Barack Obama was still
president; at the very end of his term, he helped engineered a UN vote of which
he instructed the US Ambassador to let it go through.
What was that resolution?
It was a UN Resolution called: "Israel
the Occupying Power" (just like calling America "the Occupying Power
of Washington DC").
This was stating that ‘Israel had no real
right to Jerusalem’. And America went with it!
Further, it condemned all measures of Israel
to do anything in the city of Jerusalem—declaring it to be a 'violation'.
It specifically called 'East Jerusalem'
Palestinian territory.
And there
was the UN RESOLUTION 2334
In 2016
Donald Trump called on President Obama to veto that resolution, Obama refused!
Trump said
that if he becomes president, he would address it.
That's what
America did in the past administration.
That's how
that administration ended.
This is one
of the reasons why Donald Trump won the presidential election.
GOD Almighty
raised him up at this time for His divine will and purpose.
United Nations Security Council Resolution
2334 was adopted on 23 December 2016. It concerns the Israeli settlements in
"Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, including East
Jerusalem".
Date: 23 December 2016
Code: S/RES/2334 (Document)
Meeting no: 7853
Result: Adopted
Voting summary: 14 voted for; None voted
against; 1 abstained
The UN
Security Council claims that: Israel’s Settlements have no legal validity, and constituteflagrant violation of international law.
Resolution
2334 in effect prejudges the outcome of negotiations on the crucial topics of
borders, Jerusalem, and settlements. It does so in favor of the Palestinians,
thereby circumventing and undermining the Oslo peace process that former U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry professed to protect and foster. The resolution
rewards Palestinians for violating their commitment to negotiate directly with
Israel and teaches them the (false) lesson that they can unilaterally impose
their preferred outcome on Israel through international pressure. Therefore,
Resolution 2334 removes the incentive for the Palestinians to return to
bilateral negotiations with Israel.
The United
Nations assembly on Thursday, 21st December 2017 voted against US
recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The motion
by UN General Assembly adopted a vote of 128 to 9, with 35 abstentions
rejecting the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
President
Donald Trump warned on Wednesday, 20th December 2017 to withhold aid
to any country which voted against US decision on Jerusalem.
Mali
withdrew their sponsorship of the resolution, in response to the US threats of
retaliation.
But, US
allies including Saudi Arabia, the UAE and South Africa added their names at
the last minute to the document condemning the decision.
The
resolution was vetoed by the United States in the 15-member UN Security Council
on Monday, 18th December 2017 but the US cannot veto a general
assembly resolution, which require a simple majority to be adopted.
Nikki Haley,
US ambassador to the UN, used her speech ahead of the vote to emphasis that the
United States is the single largest contributor to the UN and its agencies, and
said that in return it expected support for its decision.
“The
arguments have already been made. The decision was in accordance to US law
dating back to 1995. The decision does not prejudge any final status agreement.
The decision does nothing to harm peace efforts,” she said.
“The United
States will remember this day when it was singled out in the United Nations for
the act of exercising our sovereignty.
“America
will put our embassy in Jerusalem. It is what the American people want us to
do.
“This vote
will make a difference at how America looks at the UN, and how we look at
countries who disrespect us at the UN.”
But Riyad
al-Maliki, foreign minister of the Palestinian Authority, told the assembly:
“We meet today not due to any animosity towards the United States, but because
of a decision that counts as an aggression.
“The
decision will not affect the status of Jerusalem. Rather it affects the status
of the United States as a mediator of peace.”
He said they
had ignored warnings about inflaming tensions, and described the decision as
“illegal” and “provocative”.
On the eve
of the vote, Mrs. Haley had sent a letter warning countries against voting to
censure the US, and said that the US will be “taking names”.
Despite threats by US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley and
Donald Trump, threatening to stop funding countries who vote against the
decision, diplomats gathered in New York City and approved a nonbinding
resolution calling on countries to avoid moving their embassies to Jerusalem.
Nikki Haley had said:
"The United States will remember this day in which it
was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of
exercising our right as a sovereign nation".
"We will remember it when we are called upon to once
again make the world's largest contribution to the United Nations. And we will
remember it when so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to
pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit."
Among the countries that voted in favor of the resolution
are many traditional U.S. allies, including the United Kingdom and France.
Israel, which celebrated Trump's decision earlier this month, joined the U.S.
in voting against the measure. Thirty-five countries abstained, including U.S.
allies Canada and Australia. Mexico, Togo and a host of other countries, stayed
away from voting as well. Nigeria, Russia and China voted against the US, in
favor of the resolution not to move embassies from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem.
Even though they voted against the resolution, it still
won't change the fact that Jerusalem is still the capital of Israel. This is
more of a political statement than anything else.
Prime
Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the UN vote against US
decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Netanyahu,
however, expressed satisfaction at the number of countries that didn’t vote for
the measure.
The Israeli
leader added in a Hebrew-language statement, saying: “We reject the decision of
the UN but we are satisfied by the high number of countries that didn’t vote in
favor of this decision.”
In 1948, Jordan took Jerusalem by force and kept it for 19 years, and literally destroyed the Jewish quarter.
They didn't
allow any Jew to worship, they made the holy site into a garbage dump.
How many
condemnations did the United Nations pass against that?
The answer
is: 0
The Knesset, or parliament, moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
in 1950.
In 1947, the United Nations drew up a proposal to partition
Palestine and allow for the creation of Israel. In the plan, Jerusalem was
under international administration.
Events overtook the plan, however. After the 1948
Arab-Israeli war, fought between the new state of Israel and its Arab
neighbors, Jerusalem was divided between Israel and Jordan. In the 1967 war,
again between Israel and its Arab neighbors, Israel captured the whole of
Jerusalem.
Although the US is often thought of as Israel’s biggest ally,
the idea of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is so controversial that even
Republican presidents like George W Bush have not recognized it as such.
Successive US governments felt that to do so would be to jeopardize any claim
to impartiality in Israel-Palestine peace talks.
Senior US Democrat, Dianne Feinstein, has written to Trump
imploring him not to go down this route. She argued: “If you break with this
long tradition of bipartisan foreign policy, you’ll erode American credibility
as an unbiased mediator, alienate us from our international partners – such as
Jordan – and undermine any remaining hope for a two-state solution.”
However, voters seem to feel differently. During his
campaign, Trump promised to move the embassy to “the eternal capital for the Jewish people, Jerusalem.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, called Jerusalem as
Israel’s capital a “red line” for Muslims. He also called on Washington to reverse its move to
recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in line with the UN General
Assembly's vote to reject Trump's decision.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called on "world
Christians to listen to the true voices of the indigenous Christians from the
Holy Land ... that strongly rejected the US recognition of Jerusalem as
Israel's capital," in a statement ahead of Christmas.
Malysian leader Najib Razak headed a protest involving
thousands of Muslims against Trump's decision in the country's capital,
Putrajaya, on Friday.
He told demonstrators that Malaysia will do all it can to
save Jerusalem and will not be cowed by the US or quietened by his close ties with
US President Donald Trump.
Nabil Abu Rudeina, spokesman for Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas said in a statement following the resolution: "This decision
reaffirms once again that the just Palestinian cause enjoys the support of the
international community, and no decisions made by any side could change the
reality, that Jerusalem is an occupied territory under international law."
Saeb Erekat, the Palestinian chief negotiator, said the UN
vote showed respect for the rule of law:
"It's a day of shame to those who stood shoulder to
shoulder with the occupation and settlements against international law. But we
appreciate very much that the majority of the international community decided,
in spite of the threats and intimidation of the US, to stand tall with wisdom,
far-sightedness, international law and the rule of law - and not the rule of
the jungle," he said.
Gholamali Khoshroo, Iran's UN envoy, said: "The Israeli
occupation lies at the centre of all crises and conflicts in the Middle East
and beyond, a fact which has long been acknowledged at the UN.
"The appalling tragedy and the old wound of our region
in the past 100 years which began with the conspiracy of the Balfour
Declaration has entered a new phase with the politically incorrect, illegal and
unlawful promise of the US president to move the American embassy to the Holy
City of al-Quds [Jerusalem].
"We strongly condemn this reckless unilateral act by
the US to distort the historical facts and replace them with fiction."
Following the vote, Iran's foreign minister Javad Zarif also
weighed in, calling the resolution "a resounding global NO to Trump
regime's thuggish intimidation" in a tweet.
Danny Danon, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, told
the body's General Assembly: "This resolution only encourages more
violence and instability…. We know that Jerusalem is sacred to billions around
the world. Israel respects all religions and encourages everyone to visit and
pray in the holy city.
"I have no doubt that today's resolution will also end
up in the trash bin of history. I have no doubt that the day will come when the
entire international community will finally come to recognize Jerusalem as the
eternal capital of the state of Israel.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said at the
emergency UN General Assembly meeting on Jerusalem: "For so many times, we
have came here to say the Palestinians have the right to live like the rest of
us; they have the right to be free and secure; they have the right to
prosperous; and they have the right to enjoy what is their own. Yet our words
couldn't make a change. The illegal occupation continues. And Palestinians
cannot enjoy their basic rights…
"Turkey will never let al-Quds [Jerusalem] down. The
Palestinian people will never be left alone."
Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki told
the emergency UN General Assembly session on the US' Jerusalem move: "We
cannot help but ask: what does this decision serve? It serves the Israeli
government on implementing its colonial plans. It serves the powers of extremism
and terrorism in the region and the world. Who could imagine there would be any
credibility to a peace plan where Jerusalem is excluded. Is there any voice
that supports peace?"
Palestinians called for "day of rage" protests at
sites where there is Israeli military presence. A central rally was planned on
Wednesday at the Qalandiya checkpoint, connecting Ramallah to Jerusalem.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with King Salman and
Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman on Wednesday to discuss the latest develoments
on Jerusalem.
Abbas then travel to France and met Macron on Friday
morning, mainly to urge an EU recognition of Palestinian statehood.
Senior Palestinian officials have also been dispatched to
Moscow and Beijing in an effort to find a new international sponsor for
negotiations.
In a meeting in Ramallah, held as the UN Security Council
was voting on a draft resolution rejecting Washington's recognition of
Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)
announces that it will no longer accept the US as a partner in the peace
process.
The PLO also promises to seek full membership for Palestine
at the UN, despite a previous push failed to do so in 2011.
The United Nations Security Council resolution called for
the withdrawal of US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel, diplomats say, a move likely to face a Washington
veto.
Zion
- Jerusalem, is the place from where the KING of kings will reign over the earth!
Therefore, all you kings
and rulers, GOD Almighty - the GOD of Abraham Isaac and Jacob has a Word for
you:
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain
thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from
us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have
them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his
sore displeasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art
my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them
in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when
his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in
him.
Psalm 2
