Jerusalem Oh Jerusalem Jerusalem over the centuries has been the battleground and the home of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even Romans who eventually destroyed the city. During the tribulation there will come to this part of the world two prophets. These will have the power and the presence of God with them. They will speak the oracles of the Lord Jesus Christ as they put out a message of salvation to the world. These two prophets who many consider to be Enoch and Elijah will be able to have power to bring down fire upon their enemies. No one will be able to overcome them until they finish their testimony. So hated these two will be that when they finish their message the world will literally rejoice and send presents because they will be dead. Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Moreover, it will at this time that Jerusalem will be full of what the "scriptures call Sodom and Egypt". This is the sin, idolatry, witchcraft, magic, debauchery, wickedness, and death that existed in both Sodom and Egypt. The beloved city that David and many Jews along with Christians think of Jerusalem will be no more. It will come under judgment as these two Prophets preach and then are eventually killed. After three days they will arise from the dead and ascend to the Lord in Heaven. This will be in full view of the world as they watch. Furthermore, an earthquake and armegeddon will also put the dampers on this place and area. As the antichrist gathers forces to battle the Messiah coming in the clouds the whole world will be watching. Jerusalem will be divided and partly destroyed by this earthquake. Many thousands living in this area will be killed along with those who in the armies opposing Jesus Christ. This is the seeds of the beginning of a new era. When Jesus comes and puts a stop to the antichrist and his prophet, destroying their forces, a new kingdom will start. We call this the 1000 year Millennial reign of Christ. Today we look at this town Jerusalem and think of all the centuries of bloodshed it has seen. With a heart full of grief do I look at this town and see all the blood, hatred, violence, and politics that seem to govern this place and the whole area where our Lord trod. But then, the place doesn't make it holy. That is, this area is not holy just because our Lord was there. As Christ said, "why call me good, there is only one that is good, that is your Father in heaven.". So too, we must not think this place is holy for namesake or historical sake. If there is any goodness or holiness, we find in in our Lord Jesus Christ, who walked in the fullness of the Father. For He said, "I and the Father are one". It is in our God, united we find holiness. Today we see battles and shed blood. Many times innocent people are murdered by these events. Through terrorism and violent ways we see this taking place. All the nations on earth are involved in this area as everyone wants peace. It ever a place was holy, it should be holy enough to bring peace. But, alas it does not. Jerusalem for Jerusalem's and Israel's cannot bring peace. Only the Messiah can. The events we see going on along with the blood that is spilled will never be forgotten. The blood over the centuries that has been spilled in Gods name is atrocious. This blood is in the ground. Today if you listen closely you will hear the ground crying out about all the blood that is shed. We call this "blood guiltiness". When blood is shed and innocents is lost. That blood defiles the ground. The Lord then becomes the defender of innocent blood being spilled. The Lord is keeping an account of what is going on. One of these days he will come and cleanse the "blood defilement" from the Land, and the wickedness will end. Until then, our hope is not Jerusalem for Jerusalem's sake. Our hope is Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMassiach. He will bring in the kingdom and re-instate Jerusalem to its glory in Him. Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
