(Washington, D.C., May 20, 2009) — Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has just finished his visit to Washington. Full analysis on my weblog, including a link to the YouTube clip of me on Glenn Beck’s show with a former CIA analyst who says he wouldn’t care if Israel ceased to exist.

That said, there’s more troubling news this morning. I’m horrified by credible reports that in his June 4th speech in Cairo, President Obama will say it is time to divide Jerusalem and make the holy city the capital of a Palestinian state.
No, Mr. President, it is not
Jerusalem is and should be the eternal, undivided capital of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. Dividing Jerusalem will not make peace. Rather, it would send a message to every Radical Islamic jihadist around the world that Israel is weak, that the Jews won’t even defend the sovereignty of their own capital, that there is “blood in the water,” and that it is time to strike Israel and wipe her off the map. Dividing Jerusalem would trigger an apocalyptic war in the Middle East the likes of which the region has never seen.
I am committed to doing everything I possibly can to educate people — and particularly U.S. and Canadian evangelical Christians — to the threats facing Israel and the West due to Radical Islam, and to the biblical responsibility we have to show unconditional love and unwavering support to Israel and the Jewish people. We’ll use radio, TV, the internet, emails and other media to get the word out. But we can’t do it alone. We want and need your help.
One idea: let’s build an alliance of one million true friends of Israel — people who love Israel, are committed to blessing her in real and practical ways, are absolutely opposed to dividing Jerusalem, and will pray faithfully for the peace of Jerusalem and the protection of all the people of the epicenter.
Currently, we have 100,000 subscribers to our Flash Traffic email updates who are committed to this cause. If each of us recruited just 10 new friends to sign up for Flash Traffic and be part of this alliance, we would be able to communicate new information, new projects, and new prayer requests to them instantly. We would be able to mobilize people for pro-Israel events. We would be able to mobilize people to write to President Obama and their Congressional leaders to stand with Israel, not against her. We would be able to work together to stockpile food, clothing, medical supplies and other aid in Israel ahead of the next war. And we would be able to encourage one another with the knowledge that we are not alone in this important fight.
Will you join us?

COME TO ISRAEL AND ATTEND THE “JERUSALEM PRAYER SUMMIT”
Israel has never needed the unconditional love and unwavering support of evangelical Christians more than she does today. Yes, Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas are making threats. But the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a great and mighty God. He is calling us to bless Israel and show her our love in a real and practical way.
That’s why we are moving forward with The Joshua Fund’s next “Prayer & Vision Trip,” and we would love for you to join us. It will be held November 5-17, 2009, and culminate in our first-ever “Jerusalem Prayer Summit.”
And now, by God’s grace, we have been able to reduce the price by $600 per couple.
If you have never been to the Holy Land, it is hard to describe what a profound spiritual effect such a journey can have on you and your family. You may have heard others say God’s Word seemed to “come alive” in a new way when they walked where Jesus walked, from the shores of Galilee to the Mount of Olives and into the streets of Jerusalem. Well, it’s true, and I believe our 2009 Israel trip will allow you to experience this for yourself and intensify your desire to walk closely with Jesus Christ.
If you have been to Israel before, this trip will be a great opportunity to deepen your understanding of how powerfully the Lord is moving there. I will teach at key locations and answer your questions about the future of the epicenter. You will have the opportunity to meet with and pray for local pastors and ministry leaders. We are arranging for you to spend time engaged in a practical Joshua Fund ministry project to bless the poor and needy. What’s more, you will participate in a two-day conference to pray for the peace of Jerusalem at this critical hour.
We can take up to 300 people, and to make your experience as personal and special as possible, you will be assigned to one of seven buses of about 45 people. Each bus will be hosted by a Joshua Fund staff or board member or couple, or one of our close allies. You will ride that bus with your host every day, and in the process you’ll get to know the people on your bus, study the Bible with them, pray with and for them, discover Israel together with them, ask questions with them, and thus form a small community. Lord willing, I will rotate through the buses to get to know you and answer your questions. Each bus will also have a professional, licensed Israeli tour guide who know every detail of the country inside and out.
Please click the link below, learn more, pray about it, and then — if the Lord gives you the green light — please sign up and come with us, while there is still space.
As always, we will do our best to keep you up-to-date on the kinds of projects we are doing, and brief you on how those projects are proceeding. We will also let you know about the kinds of projects we are developing for the future. In no way do we want to pressure anyone to give financially. We fully believe the Lord will provide for the needs of the people we seek to serve. But if you or others wish to help, we welcome your support, and all financial gifts are tax-deductible.

. . . for some months to 3.5 years . . .
not forever!
Bibi has already basically said “no way, ain’t gonna happen”
All this does is give support to terrorists and terrorists supporters and taking such words from the US president as supportive of their cause.
Thanks. I can’t believe the Egyptians would put up with that emblem, or whatever it is, but maybe Obama has them bamboozled, too.
No it doesn’t.
And there’s no “s” on the end.
You’re nuts! excuse me mistaken. No one knows the mind of God!
I will believe that when I see it.
Your brilliant psychological evaluation is registered.
Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. KJV
THE MESSAGE VERSION:
The fact is, God, the Master, does nothing without first telling his prophets the whole story.
My summary was of puzzle pieces from several prophetic sources whom I respect as above average in discernment and accuracy.
PLEASE, PLEASE, BELIEVE WHATEVER YOU WILL . . . and enjoy the consequences accordingly.
Maybe we should move to Jerusalem, at this point in time it seems safer.
These signs are becoming apparent...I was always skeptical about seeing anything like this in my lifetime, but now I'm, well, seeing it differently.
bump for later
Respectfully, the text says otherwise.
Ez 39:7 says "So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel."
How can this be, if Gog is next on the horizon? God's name is profaned plenty during the 70th week, so Gog has to happen later; otherwise God's promise here is false.
See also v21 - God's glory is set among the heathen nations, v22 - Israel from that day forward knows that YHWH is their God, v28 - by this time God has gathered ALL of them from the nations, leaving not one behind, and v29 - God will no longer hide His face from them, and will pour out His spirit on the whole house of Israel.
Again, how can the world be deceived by a usurper if the One True God has made Himself so undeniably known among the nations and to His people Israel? (Also, v27 says that He has made Himself sanctified in them in the sight of many nations.) And when has the whole of the house of Israel been gathered back in? God says specifically that He has left none of them among the nations, outside the land.
There's a ton of other textual support elsewhere in prophetic scripture to identify the timing of Gog and other events; it all lines up beautifully.
BLESSED BE THE NAME AND WORD OF THE LORD.
So, are you saying that The Lord has led you to adjust your understanding a bit on such things since we last dialogued?
PRAISE GOD. It’s better to be awake than asleep on such matters.
LOL.
What 3 things most changed your perspective?
I had no idea Obama was in control of Israel as well
It’s been a long time since I’ve laid it all out and tried to get a sequential sense of it.
Here, I’ve merely reported what some folks believe.
Seems to me there’s a Gog and Magog war a couple of different times . . .
Perhaps even once at the end of the Millenial reign of Christ.
Certainly God’s name will cease to be profaned only after ARMAGEDDON.
Seems to me that God is going to trounce Israel’s enemies once BEFORE Armageddon but I wouldn’t swear to it as it’s been too long since I laid it all out carefully.
A number of Christians are doing so.
Friends of ours from church got back a short time ago from Israel and it enhanced their faith in so many ways. I wish I could go but it’s not going to happen in this life.
I believe Obama is a minion of satan, and is here to do his work. When he divides Jerusalem, if he does, be prepared for the second coming of Christ and the tribulation to begin.
Bible prophecy seems to indicate that in the last days that will be one of the signs.
