You of psalm 122:6,
00:01:05.314 --> 00:01:07.382
To "pray for the peace
00:01:07.449 --> 00:01:09.118
Of jerusalem,
00:01:09.184 --> 00:01:10.018
May they prosper who love thee."
00:01:10.085 --> 00:01:11.753
Today, we're gonna start
00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:13.388
With this verse
00:01:13.489 --> 00:01:14.389
With this verse because jerusalem holds
00:01:14.456 --> 00:01:15.958
Because jerusalem holds a profound significance
00:01:16.024 --> 00:01:17.593
A profound significance in god's redemptive plan.
00:01:17.659 --> 00:01:19.795
In god's redemptive plan. so today,
00:01:19.862 --> 00:01:20.929
So today, we're gonna look at psalm 122:6,
00:01:20.996 --> 00:01:23.699
We're gonna look at psalm 122:6, and we're gonna focus
00:01:23.765 --> 00:01:24.399
And we're gonna focus on two words, "jerusalem,"
00:01:24.466 --> 00:01:26.435
On two words, "jerusalem," pray for the peace of jerusalem,
00:01:26.502 --> 00:01:28.504
Pray for the peace of jerusalem, and peace,
00:01:28.570 --> 00:01:29.505
And peace, "the peace of jerusalem."
00:01:29.571 --> 00:01:31.039

>> that's right jonathan. today we're going to unpack
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:32.941
Today we're going to unpack jerusalem spiritual, political,
00:01:33.008 --> 00:01:36.245
Jerusalem spiritual, political, and prophetic significance.
00:01:36.311 --> 00:01:38.147
And prophetic significance. a remarkable,
00:01:38.213 --> 00:01:39.381
A remarkable, remarkable city.
00:01:39.448 --> 00:01:40.315
Remarkable city. >> mm-hmm.
00:01:40.382 --> 00:01:40.816
>> mm-hmm. so, first of all,
00:01:40.883 --> 00:01:41.750
So, first of all, let's talk a little
00:01:41.817 --> 00:01:42.584
Let's talk a little bit about
00:01:42.651 --> 00:01:43.051
Bit about the spiritual significance.
00:01:43.118 --> 00:01:45.821
The spiritual significance. this is the spiritual center
00:01:45.888 --> 00:01:48.590
This is the spiritual center for the jewish people
00:01:48.657 --> 00:01:49.691
For the jewish people since the time of king david
00:01:49.758 --> 00:01:52.094
Since the time of king david who set up jerusalem
00:01:52.161 --> 00:01:54.563
Who set up jerusalem as the capital,
00:01:54.630 --> 00:01:56.365
As the capital, but it also is the spiritual
00:01:56.431 --> 00:01:58.433
But it also is the spiritual center for the world, really.
00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:00.836
Center for the world, really. >> it's amazing.
00:02:00.903 --> 00:02:01.303
>> it's amazing. you know,
00:02:01.370 --> 00:02:02.171
You know, i get to tour jerusalem,
00:02:02.237 --> 00:02:03.472
I get to tour jerusalem, get to tour jerusalem.
00:02:03.539 --> 00:02:04.473
Get to tour jerusalem. and there's one little alley way
00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:06.608
And there's one little alley way where there's an ancient map.
00:02:06.675 --> 00:02:09.945
Where there's an ancient map. and on that map,
00:02:10.012 --> 00:02:11.180
And on that map, when you look in the very center
00:02:11.246 --> 00:02:13.182
Of the map,
00:02:13.282 --> 00:02:14.449
It's jerusalem.
00:02:14.516 --> 00:02:15.918
That there were people
00:02:15.984 --> 00:02:17.619
That viewed jerusalem, really,
00:02:17.686 --> 00:02:19.721
As the center of the earth.
00:02:19.788 --> 00:02:21.423
And when the lord chose
00:02:21.490 --> 00:02:23.525
Jerusalem and david
00:02:23.625 --> 00:02:24.893
Jerusalem and david captured that city,
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.795
Captured that city, it's just interesting to me,
00:02:26.862 --> 00:02:28.697
It's just interesting to me, and how ironic that there's
00:02:28.764 --> 00:02:31.066
And how ironic that there's so much contention,
00:02:31.133 --> 00:02:32.868
So much contention, controversy over that city,
00:02:32.935 --> 00:02:35.504
Controversy over that city, yet it's been chosen
00:02:35.571 --> 00:02:36.905
Yet it's been chosen to be a city of peace.
00:02:36.972 --> 00:02:38.874
To be a city of peace. >> yeah.
00:02:38.941 --> 00:02:39.274
>> yeah. let's talk about specifics
00:02:39.341 --> 00:02:40.542
Let's talk about specifics of the spiritual --
00:02:40.609 --> 00:02:42.110
Of the spiritual -- the spiritual
00:02:42.177 --> 00:02:43.779
The spiritual component of yerushalaim.
00:02:43.845 --> 00:02:45.747
Component of yerushalaim. >> yeah.
00:02:45.814 --> 00:02:46.381
>> yeah. >> one, it was the place
00:02:46.448 --> 00:02:48.917
>> one, it was the place that god determined,
00:02:48.984 --> 00:02:50.219
That god determined, "i'm going to
00:02:50.285 --> 00:02:50.719
"i'm going to dwell here physically."
00:02:50.786 --> 00:02:52.254
Dwell here physically." >> right.
00:02:52.321 --> 00:02:52.788
>> right. >> so, after the children
00:02:52.854 --> 00:02:53.455
>> so, after the children of israel came into the promised
00:02:53.522 --> 00:02:56.158
Of israel came into the promised land after the exodus,
00:02:56.225 --> 00:02:58.961
Land after the exodus, they wandered with a mishcon,
00:02:59.027 --> 00:03:01.830
With a tabernacle
00:03:01.930 --> 00:03:03.232
Because god wanted
00:03:03.298 --> 00:03:04.266
His presence to be visible,
00:03:04.333 --> 00:03:05.767
But solomon was the one
00:03:05.834 --> 00:03:06.969
Charged with building
00:03:07.035 --> 00:03:08.003
The temple,
00:03:08.070 --> 00:03:09.104
And we still have
00:03:09.171 --> 00:03:09.938
The remains of that.
00:03:10.005 --> 00:03:10.939
You go to jerusalem and you
00:03:11.006 --> 00:03:11.840
See these huge stones that
00:03:11.940 --> 00:03:15.210
Are all carved out,
00:03:15.310 --> 00:03:18.113
Quarried out,
00:03:18.180 --> 00:03:18.914
And they're still there today
00:03:18.981 --> 00:03:20.282
When you look at
00:03:20.382 --> 00:03:20.849
When you look at the tunnels underground,
00:03:20.916 --> 00:03:22.117
The tunnels underground, the temple,
00:03:22.184 --> 00:03:22.718
The temple, the first temple,
00:03:22.784 --> 00:03:23.452
The first temple, the second temple
00:03:23.518 --> 00:03:24.653
The second temple was rebuilt after
00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:26.188
Was rebuilt after the jewish people came back
00:03:26.255 --> 00:03:27.389
The jewish people came back from the babylonian captivity,
00:03:27.456 --> 00:03:29.258
From the babylonian captivity, and that's the temple
00:03:29.324 --> 00:03:30.058
And that's the temple that jesus actually came to.
00:03:30.125 --> 00:03:32.561
That jesus actually came to. >> yeah.
00:03:32.628 --> 00:03:32.961
>> yeah. >> but the temple was
00:03:33.028 --> 00:03:34.296
>> but the temple was the center of spiritual
00:03:34.363 --> 00:03:36.665
The center of spiritual life for the people of israel.
00:03:36.732 --> 00:03:38.100
Life for the people of israel. >> it's really incredible,
00:03:38.166 --> 00:03:39.501
>> it's really incredible, the highlights really
00:03:39.568 --> 00:03:40.669
The highlights really of many of our trips
00:03:40.736 --> 00:03:42.037
Of many of our trips to israel is seeing
00:03:42.104 --> 00:03:44.172
To israel is seeing that place where god,
00:03:44.239 --> 00:03:46.208
That place where god, his glory filled that temple.
00:03:46.275 --> 00:03:49.444
His glory filled that temple. his glory resides in jerusalem
00:03:49.511 --> 00:03:53.548
His glory resides in jerusalem and his glory will reside there,
00:03:53.615 --> 00:03:55.250
And his glory will reside there, and i'm even thinking of,
00:03:55.317 --> 00:03:56.752
And i'm even thinking of, you know,
00:03:56.818 --> 00:03:57.286
You know, as you read the scriptures,
00:03:57.352 --> 00:03:58.520
As you read the scriptures, the lord commanded
00:03:58.587 --> 00:04:00.255
The lord commanded all of the jewish men
00:04:00.322 --> 00:04:01.957
All of the jewish men for three of the big feasts,
00:04:02.024 --> 00:04:05.060
For three of the big feasts, the big three,
00:04:05.127 --> 00:04:06.194
The big three, to go and travel
00:04:06.261 --> 00:04:07.162
To go and travel to jerusalem to be there.
00:04:07.229 --> 00:04:08.930
To jerusalem to be there. there's something so central.
00:04:08.997 --> 00:04:10.899
There's something so central. and if we miss that, brother,
00:04:10.966 --> 00:04:12.834
And if we miss that, brother, i don't think it's any --
00:04:12.901 --> 00:04:14.202
I don't think it's any -- it's not insignificant
00:04:14.269 --> 00:04:15.404
It's not insignificant that you end every show
00:04:15.470 --> 00:04:16.838
That you end every show with that scripture,
00:04:16.905 --> 00:04:18.106
With that scripture, but it's significant to me
00:04:18.173 --> 00:04:20.342
But it's significant to me that we as the church,
00:04:20.409 --> 00:04:23.545
That we as the church, the greater body of messiah,
00:04:23.612 --> 00:04:26.348
The greater body of messiah, really have no understanding
00:04:26.415 --> 00:04:28.850
Really have no understanding or revelation of the depth
00:04:28.917 --> 00:04:30.952
Or revelation of the depth of god's heart for jerusalem.
00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:32.654
Of god's heart for jerusalem. >> absolutely.
00:04:32.721 --> 00:04:33.388
>> absolutely. and we wanna help you
00:04:33.455 --> 00:04:34.923
And we wanna help you to understand when you pray
00:04:34.990 --> 00:04:36.925
To understand when you pray for the peace of jerusalem,
00:04:36.992 --> 00:04:38.460
For the peace of jerusalem, what this all means.
00:04:38.527 --> 00:04:39.161
What this all means. so, first of all,
00:04:39.227 --> 00:04:40.195
You have a temple
00:04:40.295 --> 00:04:40.962
That's going to be rebuilt
00:04:41.029 --> 00:04:42.130
According to scripture,
00:04:42.197 --> 00:04:43.298
Maybe rebuilt twice.
00:04:43.365 --> 00:04:44.833
And you have the dome
00:04:44.900 --> 00:04:45.634
Of the rock exactly where
00:04:45.701 --> 00:04:47.302
The holy of holies was.
00:04:47.369 --> 00:04:49.237
The second thing is you have
00:04:49.304 --> 00:04:50.505
The pilgrimage feasts
00:04:50.605 --> 00:04:51.873
The pilgrimage feasts in scripture.
00:04:51.940 --> 00:04:52.507
In scripture. the children of israel,
00:04:52.574 --> 00:04:53.508
The children of israel, the men of israel scattered
00:04:53.575 --> 00:04:55.510
The men of israel scattered throughout the different nations
00:04:55.577 --> 00:04:56.978
Throughout the different nations had to go to jerusalem
00:04:57.045 --> 00:04:59.181
Had to go to jerusalem specifically for the three
00:04:59.247 --> 00:05:01.283
Specifically for the three pilgrimage feasts:
00:05:01.350 --> 00:05:02.250
Passover, shavuot, pentecost,
00:05:02.351 --> 00:05:05.921
And sukkot,
00:05:05.987 --> 00:05:06.755
The feast of tabernacles
00:05:06.822 --> 00:05:08.256
To get -- to meet with god.
00:05:08.323 --> 00:05:09.891
And so,
00:05:09.991 --> 00:05:10.525
And so, that's very significant also.
00:05:10.592 --> 00:05:11.760
That's very significant also. the pilgrimage feasts
00:05:11.827 --> 00:05:13.428
The pilgrimage feasts are something that's --
00:05:13.495 --> 00:05:14.296
Are something that's -- that's gonna be restored.
00:05:14.363 --> 00:05:16.498
That's gonna be restored. actually if you
00:05:16.565 --> 00:05:17.332
Actually if you read zechariah 14.
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:18.867
Read zechariah 14. >> right.
00:05:18.934 --> 00:05:19.334
>> right. >> it's not only the people

>> it's not only the people of israel,
00:05:20.135 --> 00:05:20.936
Of israel, it's the nations going
00:05:21.002 --> 00:05:22.671
It's the nations going to jerusalem on the pilgrimage
00:05:22.738 --> 00:05:24.139
To jerusalem on the pilgrimage feast of tabernacles.
00:05:24.206 --> 00:05:25.707
Feast of tabernacles. >> if people think that
00:05:25.774 --> 00:05:26.608
>> if people think that god doesn't care about
00:05:26.675 --> 00:05:28.243
God doesn't care about jerusalem anymore,
00:05:28.310 --> 00:05:29.578
Jerusalem anymore, they have to look at
00:05:29.644 --> 00:05:30.312
They have to look at that scripture and go, "wow."
00:05:30.379 --> 00:05:31.246
That scripture and go, "wow." nations are gonna
00:05:31.313 --> 00:05:33.615
Nations are gonna be streaming to that one city
00:05:33.682 --> 00:05:36.184
Be streaming to that one city to celebrate the feast.
00:05:36.251 --> 00:05:37.452
To celebrate the feast. god -- it's remarkable.
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.888
God -- it's remarkable. nations want to see that city
00:05:39.955 --> 00:05:41.690
Nations want to see that city wiped off the map but that's
00:05:41.757 --> 00:05:43.125
Wiped off the map but that's god's eternal city.
00:05:43.191 --> 00:05:43.825
God's eternal city. >> yeah, they want to see
00:05:43.892 --> 00:05:44.593
>> yeah, they want to see it either wiped off the map,
00:05:44.659 --> 00:05:45.560
It either wiped off the map, turned into an islamic center.
00:05:45.627 --> 00:05:48.463
Turned into an islamic center. there's also --
00:05:48.530 --> 00:05:50.432
There's also -- there's just constant conflict.
00:05:50.499 --> 00:05:52.334
There's just constant conflict. >> right.
00:05:52.401 --> 00:05:52.601
>> right. >> but you know what?
00:05:52.667 --> 00:05:53.268
>> but you know what? this is not only the center
00:05:53.335 --> 00:05:54.503
This is not only the center of judaism for the jewish people
00:05:54.569 --> 00:05:57.606
Of judaism for the jewish people and the god of israel,
00:05:57.672 --> 00:05:59.074
And the god of israel, it's also where the messiah,
00:05:59.141 --> 00:06:01.042
It's also where the messiah, where jesus always went
00:06:01.109 --> 00:06:03.545
Where jesus always went for the pilgrimage feasts.
00:06:03.612 --> 00:06:05.814
For the pilgrimage feasts. it's where he taught
00:06:05.881 --> 00:06:07.816
It's where he taught at the end, right?
00:06:07.883 --> 00:06:09.384
At the end, right? it's where he had his passover
00:06:09.451 --> 00:06:10.652
It's where he had his passover seder with his disciples.
00:06:10.719 --> 00:06:12.020
Seder with his disciples. the mount zion, on mount zion.
00:06:12.087 --> 00:06:17.793
The mount zion, on mount zion. it's where he laid
00:06:17.859 --> 00:06:18.794
It's where he laid down his life for us.
00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:20.462
Down his life for us. this is very significant that
00:06:20.529 --> 00:06:22.464
This is very significant that he was crucified in jerusalem,
00:06:22.531 --> 00:06:24.599
He was crucified in jerusalem, that he was
00:06:24.666 --> 00:06:25.300
That he was resurrected in jerusalem,
00:06:25.367 --> 00:06:27.636
Resurrected in jerusalem, and that he ascended
00:06:27.702 --> 00:06:28.537
And that he ascended to the father.
00:06:28.603 --> 00:06:29.438
To the father. all of this happened
00:06:29.504 --> 00:06:30.272
All of this happened in jerusalem.
00:06:30.338 --> 00:06:31.139
In jerusalem. and then this is where
00:06:31.206 --> 00:06:32.274
And then this is where the holy spirit's poured
00:06:32.340 --> 00:06:33.375
The holy spirit's poured out in acts 2 in jerusalem
00:06:33.442 --> 00:06:36.378
Out in acts 2 in jerusalem on mount zion.
00:06:36.445 --> 00:06:37.646
On mount zion. this is all significant.
00:06:37.712 --> 00:06:38.914
This is all significant. the spiritual significance
00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:40.715
The spiritual significance of jerusalem brings about
00:06:40.782 --> 00:06:43.018
Of jerusalem brings about conflict through the ages.
00:06:43.084 --> 00:06:44.886
Conflict through the ages. >> yeah.
00:06:44.953 --> 00:06:45.353
>> yeah. sadly the conflict doesn't seem
00:06:45.420 --> 00:06:48.223
Sadly the conflict doesn't seem to be letting up even today.
00:06:48.290 --> 00:06:50.525
To be letting up even today. it's remarkable.
00:06:50.592 --> 00:06:51.860
It's remarkable. we stand on the mount of olives,
00:06:51.927 --> 00:06:55.163
We stand on the mount of olives, and we look at the eastern gate,
00:06:55.230 --> 00:06:57.165
We look on the temple mount,
00:06:57.265 --> 00:06:59.868
We look at the old city walls
00:06:59.935 --> 00:07:02.103
Of jerusalem.
00:07:02.170 --> 00:07:03.104
And we talk about that you can't
00:07:03.171 --> 00:07:06.174
Get on much holier ground than
00:07:06.241 --> 00:07:08.443
We are standing right now.
00:07:08.543 --> 00:07:10.145
We are standing right now. >> you can feel it.
00:07:10.212 --> 00:07:10.812
>> you can feel it. >> you can feel it,
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.314
>> you can feel it, you can sense it.
00:07:12.380 --> 00:07:13.715
You can sense it. as you said,
00:07:13.782 --> 00:07:14.950
As you said, he rose from the dead,
00:07:15.016 --> 00:07:16.451
He rose from the dead, he's returning --
00:07:16.518 --> 00:07:17.652
He's returning -- he's returning and placing
00:07:17.719 --> 00:07:19.120
He's returning and placing his feet on that land.
00:07:19.187 --> 00:07:20.755
His feet on that land. he's not coming back
00:07:20.822 --> 00:07:21.423
He's not coming back to phoenix or charlotte,
00:07:21.490 --> 00:07:23.191
To phoenix or charlotte, he's coming back to jerusalem.
00:07:23.258 --> 00:07:24.960
He's coming back to jerusalem. no wonder every force
00:07:25.026 --> 00:07:26.261
No wonder every force in hell is against it.
00:07:26.328 --> 00:07:27.896
In hell is against it. >> well, and here's another
00:07:27.963 --> 00:07:28.730
>> well, and here's another force against it.
00:07:28.797 --> 00:07:30.565
Force against it. the teaching that
00:07:30.632 --> 00:07:32.667
The teaching that jerusalem is spirit --
00:07:32.734 --> 00:07:34.503
Jerusalem is spirit -- with the spiritualization
00:07:34.569 --> 00:07:35.871
With the spiritualization of jerusalem,
00:07:35.937 --> 00:07:36.771
Of jerusalem, that jesus isn't coming back
00:07:36.838 --> 00:07:38.273
That jesus isn't coming back to physical jerusalem,
00:07:38.340 --> 00:07:39.708
To physical jerusalem, he's coming back
00:07:39.774 --> 00:07:40.475
He's coming back to a heavenly jerusalem,
00:07:40.542 --> 00:07:42.210
To a heavenly jerusalem, and that negates
00:07:42.277 --> 00:07:43.278
And that negates the importance of jerusalem.
00:07:43.345 --> 00:07:44.613
The importance of jerusalem. guess what?
00:07:44.679 --> 00:07:45.180
Guess what? that's very wrong,
00:07:45.247 --> 00:07:46.448
That's very wrong, or there wouldn't be conflict.
00:07:46.515 --> 00:07:47.749
Or there wouldn't be conflict. >> yeah.
00:07:47.816 --> 00:07:48.183
>> yeah. >> right?
00:07:48.250 --> 00:07:48.650
>> right? but that's spiritualization.
00:07:48.717 --> 00:07:49.951
But that's spiritualization. in god's economy,
00:07:50.018 --> 00:07:52.187
In god's economy, jerusalem is
00:07:52.254 --> 00:07:53.121
Jerusalem is the capital of the world.
00:07:53.188 --> 00:07:54.489
The capital of the world. >> wow.
00:07:54.556 --> 00:07:55.156
>> wow. >> the world.
00:07:55.223 --> 00:07:55.790
>> the world. that's the world capital.
00:07:55.857 --> 00:07:57.292
That's the world capital. it's not washington,
00:07:57.359 --> 00:07:58.426
It's not washington, it's not moscow,
00:07:58.493 --> 00:07:59.194
It's not moscow, it's not paris,
00:07:59.261 --> 00:08:00.295
It's not paris, it is jerusalem.
00:08:00.362 --> 00:08:02.430
It is jerusalem. and then finally,
00:08:02.497 --> 00:08:03.765
Isaiah 2:3,

All the hordes of evil, of demonic,

Of demonic, the demonic realm are seeking
00:08:22.984 --> 00:08:25.186
The demonic realm are seeking to keep god's destiny
00:08:25.253 --> 00:08:27.389
To keep god's destiny for jerusalem to be fulfilled.

00:10:32.881 --> 00:10:33.415
He wept three times in scripture.
00:10:33.481 --> 00:10:34.783
Times in scripture. he wept over jerusalem,
00:10:34.849 --> 00:10:35.950
He wept over jerusalem, he wept over lazarus,
00:10:36.017 --> 00:10:37.018
He wept over lazarus, and he wept in the garden.
00:10:37.085 --> 00:10:38.653
And he wept in the garden. after the garden,
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:39.421
After the garden, he was raised from the dead.
00:10:39.487 --> 00:10:40.622
He was raised from the dead. after he wept over lazarus,
00:10:40.689 --> 00:10:42.290
After he wept over lazarus, lazarus was raised.
00:10:42.357 --> 00:10:43.758
Lazarus was raised. he wept over jerusalem because
00:10:43.825 --> 00:10:45.326
He wept over jerusalem because he knows there's coming
00:10:45.393 --> 00:10:46.294
He knows there's coming a resurrection for that city
00:10:46.361 --> 00:10:48.129
A resurrection for that city in every single way.
00:10:48.196 --> 00:10:49.964
In every single way. >> well, the reestablishment
00:10:50.031 --> 00:10:51.099
>> well, the reestablishment of jerusalem in 1967,
00:10:51.166 --> 00:10:53.501
Of jerusalem in 1967, because from '48
00:10:53.568 --> 00:10:54.769
Because from '48 with the restoration of israel,
00:10:54.836 --> 00:10:57.072
With the restoration of israel, until '67, tel aviv
00:10:57.138 --> 00:10:58.573
Until '67, tel aviv was the capital,
00:10:58.640 --> 00:10:59.741
Was the capital, but it was the taking back
00:10:59.808 --> 00:11:01.443
But it was the taking back of the temple mount
00:11:01.509 --> 00:11:03.645
Of the temple mount that it shifted
00:11:03.712 --> 00:11:04.579
That it shifted back to jerusalem,
00:11:04.646 --> 00:11:05.880
Back to jerusalem, and there was an outpouring
00:11:05.947 --> 00:11:06.948
And there was an outpouring of god's spirit on
00:11:07.015 --> 00:11:07.982
Of god's spirit on the church signifying,
00:11:08.049 --> 00:11:09.784
The church signifying, i believe,
00:11:09.851 --> 00:11:10.251
I believe, god's joy with the restoration
00:11:10.318 --> 00:11:13.588
God's joy with the restoration of jerusalem as the capital
00:11:13.655 --> 00:11:14.889
Of jerusalem as the capital of israel.
00:11:14.956 --> 00:11:15.390
Of israel. so, you have the kneset,
00:11:15.457 --> 00:11:17.459
So, you have the kneset, the parliament in jerusalem.
00:11:17.525 --> 00:11:19.694
The parliament in jerusalem. and the move
00:11:19.761 --> 00:11:20.328
And the move of the united states
00:11:20.395 --> 00:11:22.397
Of the united states to establish
00:11:22.464 --> 00:11:23.832
To establish under president trump,
00:11:23.898 --> 00:11:24.766
Under president trump, something that had been
00:11:24.833 --> 00:11:25.433
Something that had been decided decades before by
00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:28.136
Decided decades before by our congress to put
00:11:28.203 --> 00:11:30.371
Our congress to put the embassy there had
00:11:30.438 --> 00:11:31.372
The embassy there had all kinds of spiritual
00:11:31.439 --> 00:11:32.941
All kinds of spiritual attack because of its
00:11:33.007 --> 00:11:34.843
Attack because of its political significance.
00:11:34.909 --> 00:11:36.678
Political significance. and again,
00:11:36.745 --> 00:11:38.480
And again, you have israel reestablished,
00:11:38.546 --> 00:11:41.816
You have israel reestablished, and then jerusalem,
00:11:41.883 --> 00:11:43.351
And then jerusalem, and it's jerusalem that
00:11:43.418 --> 00:11:45.653
And it's jerusalem that the word of the lord
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:46.387
The word of the lord goes forth from.
00:11:46.454 --> 00:11:47.689
And isaiah 62:6 is so important
00:11:47.789 --> 00:11:50.225
Here also where god says
00:11:50.291 --> 00:11:51.593
He's established watchmen
00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:53.528
On the walls of jerusalem,
00:11:53.595 --> 00:11:55.663
And to give him no rest
00:11:55.730 --> 00:11:56.998
Until he makes jerusalem
00:11:57.065 --> 00:11:59.834
A praise in all the earth.
00:11:59.901 --> 00:12:01.569
This is
00:12:01.636 --> 00:12:02.137
The political significance.
00:12:02.203 --> 00:12:03.271
And then the third
00:12:03.371 --> 00:12:04.072
And then the third one is prophetic.
00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:06.274
One is prophetic. and i think this it the biggest
00:12:06.341 --> 00:12:07.942
And i think this it the biggest one where there's all
00:12:08.009 --> 00:12:08.977
One where there's all this spiritual warfare.
00:12:09.043 --> 00:12:10.111
This spiritual warfare. because jesus says we already
00:12:10.178 --> 00:12:11.646
Because jesus says we already said will physically return
00:12:11.713 --> 00:12:14.482
Said will physically return to the mount of olives.
00:12:14.549 --> 00:12:15.617
To the mount of olives. he'll go through
00:12:15.683 --> 00:12:16.551
He'll go through the eastern gate,
00:12:16.618 --> 00:12:18.887
The eastern gate, and this is described
00:12:18.953 --> 00:12:20.288
And this is described in zechariah 14,
00:12:20.355 --> 00:12:22.724
In zechariah 14, and the hordes of hell
00:12:22.791 --> 00:12:25.426
And the hordes of hell are focused against
00:12:25.493 --> 00:12:26.628
Are focused against this happening, right?
00:12:26.694 --> 00:12:27.796
This happening, right? because when this happens,
00:12:27.862 --> 00:12:29.731
Because when this happens, the messiah sets up his earthly
00:12:29.798 --> 00:12:32.400
The messiah sets up his earthly reign as the king of kings
00:12:32.467 --> 00:12:34.269
Reign as the king of kings and the lord of lords
00:12:34.335 --> 00:12:35.770
And the lord of lords from jerusalem.
00:12:35.837 --> 00:12:37.038
From jerusalem. >> it's amazing.
00:12:37.105 --> 00:12:37.472
>> it's amazing. >> from physical jerusalem,
00:12:37.539 --> 00:12:39.040
>> from physical jerusalem, and the enemy is trying
00:12:39.107 --> 00:12:39.841
And the enemy is trying to keep that from happening.
00:12:39.908 --> 00:12:40.942
To keep that from happening. so, this is a spiritual issue
00:12:41.009 --> 00:12:42.977
So, this is a spiritual issue that's trying to stop
00:12:43.044 --> 00:12:43.845
That's trying to stop what's already
00:12:43.912 --> 00:12:44.479
What's already written in the book.
00:12:44.546 --> 00:12:45.680
Written in the book. >> yeah, and it's remarkable
00:12:45.747 --> 00:12:46.614
>> yeah, and it's remarkable because when you look
00:12:46.681 --> 00:12:47.382
Because when you look at that eastern gate,
00:12:47.448 --> 00:12:48.216
At that eastern gate, now it's walled up.
00:12:48.283 --> 00:12:49.584
And if i'm not mistaken,
00:12:49.684 --> 00:12:50.552
There's a actually
00:12:50.618 --> 00:12:51.753
A muslim cemetery that's
00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:53.888
Been created in front of it
00:12:53.955 --> 00:12:55.657
Because they know that jews
00:12:55.723 --> 00:12:56.925
Don't walk over,
00:12:56.991 --> 00:12:58.026
You know, muslim.
00:12:58.092 --> 00:12:59.227
Everything in the natural
00:12:59.327 --> 00:13:01.062
Everything in the natural is saying jesus will not return
00:13:01.129 --> 00:13:02.697
Is saying jesus will not return through that gate,
00:13:02.764 --> 00:13:03.598
Through that gate, but we who believe in the word
00:13:03.665 --> 00:13:04.866
But we who believe in the word of god have full confidence
00:13:04.933 --> 00:13:06.501
Of god have full confidence that he's coming
00:13:06.568 --> 00:13:07.268
That he's coming back to that city.
00:13:07.335 --> 00:13:07.936
Back to that city. >> and this is the reason
00:13:08.002 --> 00:13:09.871
>> and this is the reason why there's so much warfare
00:13:09.938 --> 00:13:11.973
Why there's so much warfare at the temple mount
00:13:12.040 --> 00:13:13.208
At the temple mount in jerusalem and israel,
00:13:13.274 --> 00:13:15.009
In jerusalem and israel, is to keep all this
00:13:15.076 --> 00:13:15.677
Is to keep all this from happening.
00:13:15.743 --> 00:13:17.178
From happening. the establishment --
00:13:17.245 --> 00:13:18.713
The establishment -- and this is so clear,
00:13:18.780 --> 00:13:19.848
And this is so clear, you see it throughout scripture,
00:13:19.914 --> 00:13:21.683
You see it throughout scripture, even in the old testament.
00:13:21.749 --> 00:13:22.650
Even in the old testament. the establishment
00:13:22.717 --> 00:13:23.818
The establishment of the millennial kingdom
00:13:23.885 --> 00:13:26.187
Of the millennial kingdom or from the jewish perspective,
00:13:26.254 --> 00:13:28.323
Or from the jewish perspective, the messianic reign
00:13:28.389 --> 00:13:30.158
The messianic reign of the messiah from jerusalem,
00:13:30.225 --> 00:13:32.293
Of the messiah from jerusalem, his throne doesn't
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.095
His throne doesn't become the center
00:13:34.162 --> 00:13:34.929
Become the center for israel,
00:13:34.996 --> 00:13:35.763
For israel, becomes the center of spiritual
00:13:35.830 --> 00:13:38.066
Becomes the center of spiritual and political authority
00:13:38.132 --> 00:13:39.400
And political authority for the nations worldwide,
00:13:39.467 --> 00:13:41.636
For the nations worldwide, and the enemy is trying
00:13:41.703 --> 00:13:42.804
And the enemy is trying to keep that from happening
00:13:42.871 --> 00:13:44.305
To keep that from happening because it's his earthly
00:13:44.372 --> 00:13:45.607
Because it's his earthly reign that true peace comes
00:13:45.673 --> 00:13:48.343
Reign that true peace comes out of jerusalem
00:13:48.409 --> 00:13:49.510
Out of jerusalem and the enemy is cast down.
00:13:49.577 --> 00:13:51.312
And the enemy is cast down. >> and jesus himself is waiting
00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:53.448
>> and jesus himself is waiting for those in jerusalem
00:13:53.514 --> 00:13:55.083
For those in jerusalem to welcome him back.
00:13:55.149 --> 00:13:56.084
To welcome him back. just like jerusalem welcomed
00:13:56.150 --> 00:13:57.285
Just like jerusalem welcomed king david back after he left
00:13:57.352 --> 00:13:59.921
King david back after he left because of absalom's reign,
00:13:59.988 --> 00:14:01.489
Because of absalom's reign, they went to him, they said,
00:14:01.556 --> 00:14:02.523
They went to him, they said, "return oh king."
00:14:02.590 --> 00:14:03.958
"return oh king." jesus is waiting.
00:14:04.025 --> 00:14:05.360
Jesus is waiting. he says in the scriptures,
00:14:05.426 --> 00:14:07.095
He says in the scriptures, "you will not
00:14:07.161 --> 00:14:07.795
"you will not see me again jerusalem
00:14:07.862 --> 00:14:09.764
See me again jerusalem until you say.
00:14:09.831 --> 00:14:10.331
[speaking hebrew]
00:14:10.698 --> 00:14:12.100
Blessed is he who comes
00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:13.701
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord."
00:14:13.768 --> 00:14:14.569
In the name of the lord." >> yeah, that is so overlooked.
00:14:14.636 --> 00:14:16.237
>> yeah, that is so overlooked. i want you to look at that very
00:14:16.304 --> 00:14:17.305
I want you to look at that very last verse of matthew 23
00:14:17.372 --> 00:14:19.807
Last verse of matthew 23 before the question is,
00:14:19.874 --> 00:14:20.975
Before the question is, "what's the end of the age?"
00:14:21.042 --> 00:14:21.910
"what's the end of the age?" he says,
00:14:21.976 --> 00:14:22.243
He says, "i will not return until you,
00:14:22.310 --> 00:14:24.512
"i will not return until you, jerusalem," the people
00:14:24.579 --> 00:14:25.513
Jerusalem," the people of jerusalem,
00:14:25.580 --> 00:14:26.180
Of jerusalem, they have to be jews,
00:14:26.247 --> 00:14:27.448
They have to be jews, "cry out,
00:14:27.515 --> 00:14:28.283
"cry out, 'blessed is he who comes
00:14:28.349 --> 00:14:30.718
'blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord."
00:14:30.785 --> 00:14:31.920
In the name of the lord." and that's why there's
00:14:31.986 --> 00:14:32.720
And that's why there's so much warfare
00:14:32.787 --> 00:14:34.122
So much warfare because of the prophetic
00:14:34.188 --> 00:14:35.223
Because of the prophetic significance of jerusalem
00:14:35.290 --> 00:14:37.258
Significance of jerusalem that will eventually
00:14:37.325 --> 00:14:38.493
That will eventually bring the messiah to rule
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.395
Bring the messiah to rule and reign for a thousand years.
00:14:40.461 --> 00:14:42.363
And reign for a thousand years. i'm looking forward to that day.
00:14:42.430 --> 00:14:43.598
I'm looking forward to that day. i hope you are too.

00:15:39.754 --> 00:15:41.522
The ratner family because
00:15:41.589 --> 00:15:43.458
Many families losing their sons
00:15:43.524 --> 00:15:44.926
And daughters right now.
00:15:44.993 --> 00:15:46.661
Israel needs your prayers.
00:15:46.761 --> 00:15:48.296
And let me tell the story
00:15:48.396 --> 00:15:49.197
About david's last battle.
00:15:49.263 --> 00:15:52.066
Early morning,
00:15:52.133 --> 00:15:52.800
He was at the military base
00:15:52.867 --> 00:15:54.168
With 12 fellows,
00:15:54.235 --> 00:15:55.570
And they were attacked
00:15:55.670 --> 00:15:56.838
And they were attacked by 400 terrorists,
00:15:56.904 --> 00:15:59.207
By 400 terrorists, and they knew they needed
00:15:59.273 --> 00:16:00.008
And they knew they needed to stop them,
00:16:00.074 --> 00:16:00.575
To stop them, otherwise so many civilians,
00:16:00.641 --> 00:16:02.477
Otherwise so many civilians, women, and children
00:16:02.543 --> 00:16:03.211
Women, and children will be dead,
00:16:03.277 --> 00:16:04.445
Will be dead, will be murdered.
00:16:04.512 --> 00:16:05.346
Will be murdered. so, they took a battle
00:16:05.413 --> 00:16:06.781
So, they took a battle and they'd been fighting
00:16:06.848 --> 00:16:07.648
For 10 hours.
00:16:07.749 --> 00:16:09.984
It's amazing,
00:16:10.051 --> 00:16:10.985
But all the soldiers
00:16:11.085 --> 00:16:12.520
But all the soldiers who fight,
00:16:12.587 --> 00:16:13.087
Who fight, they will testified
00:16:13.154 --> 00:16:14.355
They will testified that if not for david,
00:16:14.422 --> 00:16:16.324
That if not for david, they would fail,
00:16:16.391 --> 00:16:17.325
They would fail, because he had machine gun
00:16:17.392 --> 00:16:18.092
And he did most of the fire.
00:16:18.192 --> 00:16:20.094
So, he personally was
00:16:20.161 --> 00:16:22.930
Holding weapon, wounded,
00:16:22.997 --> 00:16:24.766
Still taking down terrorists,
00:16:24.866 --> 00:16:26.501
Still taking down terrorists, stopping them from coming
00:16:26.567 --> 00:16:27.802
Stopping them from coming to israel to kill
00:16:27.869 --> 00:16:28.770
To israel to kill and steal and destroy,
00:16:28.836 --> 00:16:30.171
And steal and destroy, and he fell as a hero.
00:16:30.238 --> 00:16:32.707

00:16:32.774 --> 00:16:35.043
And continued battle

00:16:36.544 --> 00:16:38.012
Spitting blood,
00:16:38.079 --> 00:16:38.713
Also screaming to his fellow

He cares about jewish life, he cares about palestinian life.
00:20:19.800 --> 00:20:21.535
He cares about palestinian life. it's interesting,
00:20:21.602 --> 00:20:22.136
It's interesting, jerusalem is actually
00:20:22.203 --> 00:20:23.371
In four quarters.
00:20:23.471 --> 00:20:24.805
They have a jewish quarter,
00:20:24.872 --> 00:20:25.539
But there are three other
00:20:25.606 --> 00:20:26.507
Non-jewish quarters in
00:20:26.574 --> 00:20:27.475
The center and god wants peace

I think we should be praying for that peace.
00:20:38.753 --> 00:20:40.988
Praying for that peace. and it's interesting to me
00:20:41.055 --> 00:20:42.556
And it's interesting to me that there's only one
00:20:42.623 --> 00:20:43.557
That there's only one scripture where god,
00:20:43.624 --> 00:20:44.558
That i know of,
00:20:44.659 --> 00:20:45.226
God says to give him no rest.
00:20:45.293 --> 00:20:47.695
Pray for the peace of jerusalem
00:20:47.762 --> 00:20:49.030
That jerusalem would
00:20:49.096 --> 00:20:49.864
Be a praise in the earth.
