<p>/Jesus looked at the Temple in Jerusalem where the Shekinah glory had abided and wept over it. He prophesied that it would be taken apart stone by stone. After a four-month siege of Jerusalem, and on the eighth day of the Jewish month of Av (our July) in AD 70, Titus, the Roman emperor’s son, ordered his entire army to storm the Temple at dawn. <br /><br />The next day was the same day on which the Babylonians had destroyed Jerusalem five thousand years before. Within the walls of Jerusalem, nearly one-half million starving Jews were living in horrific conditions. The gates of the Temple were set afire. As the wooden doorways and windows burned, gruesome scenes unfolded. Thousands of bodies putrefied in the sun. Packs of dogs and jackals feasted on human flesh. <br /><br />In the preceding months, Titus had ordered all prisoners crucified; five hundred Jews died each day. The Mount of Olives and the craggy mountains around the city were so crowded with crucifixes, there was scarcely room for any more to be stood upright or trees with which to make them. So, the Romans began ripping open the bellies of the Jews and disemboweling them while they were still alive. <br /><br />Children who roamed the streets of the city fell over dead from starvation. Bodies were being tossed over the walls. The people were eating cow dung, leather girdles, shoes, old hay, and even cannibalizing the corpses. Six thousand Jewish women and children huddled inside the Temple, believing for divine intervention and protection. All were massacred. <br /><br />Is it possible for America to truly believe it will be exempt from God’s judgment if Jerusalem was not? The words of Mother Teresa are echoing through eternity: America is, in fact, the poorest country on earth. It suffers from poverty of spirit. All of that can change. In the Oval Office during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, he showed me a small sign on his desk. It said, “A man can become too big in his own eyes to be used by God, but never too small.” Then I saw his mother’s Bible opened to 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” In the margin she had written, “Son, this scripture is for the healing of the nation.”</p>

<p><br />We have 9 days until the UN Palestinian statehood vote. The bottom line is this…while a Security Council veto would deny the Palestinians official member status, they can also seek upgraded observer status at the General Assembly as a non-member state. <br /><br />This could be interpreted as implicit UN recognition of Palestinian statehood because the assembly would be acknowledging that the Palestinians control an actual state. The advantage of this option is that it would require only a simple majority of the General Assembly. Since around 120 countries have already recognized the state of Palestine to date, it would likely win such a vote overwhelmingly. <br /><br />If the Palestinians were to be recognized as a non-member state, they would be able to sign certain international treaties, such as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which they cannot currently sign. This will mean thousands of lawsuits against Israel and isolation and demonization of the State of Israel. <br /><br />Every child of God must fight this battle in prayer. This is a spirit battle led by Satan himself…please join me right now in binding that spirit in the name of JESUS…and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. <br /><br />We must continue our national campaign to alert people to the danger posed—not just to Israel but to America as well—by the Obama Administration’s plan to divide Jerusalem and curse Israel. I need your financial support in order to be able to go to New York for these two major events—the UN General Assembly meeting and the Durban III conference. I have just returned from speaking to the world from Israel, and I must go to New York as your ambassador to stand for Israel in the face of opposition from nearly the entire world. <br /><br />We must raise at least $200,000 to keep this campaign going until the UN vote. We have received a matching gift offer of $100,000...in other words if you give $100, your gift will be worth $200 to the Jerusalem Prayer Team. Please, please let's all finish strong this month. We have been fighting this battle all year, and we are so very close to Ground Zero. Thus far 380 loving Jerusalem Prayer Team members have given $40,800 toward the matching gift challenge. Please join me right now and pray a commanded blessing over them. <em>Father, open the windows of Heaven and pour out a blessing on those who have given that they will not have room to contain, and rebuke the devourer for their sake in the name of Yeshua—Jesus, Amen.</em> <br /><br />Now is our moment. This is our time. God has brought us together for this defining crossroads moment of human history. Will you help me stand for Israel? Will you pray for God's blessing and protection for me on this vital trip? Will you give to meet the needs of the Jewish people and allow me to continue to stand for them on the world stage? <br /><br />Every nation and individual that supports the plan to curse Israel and steal from her the land God promised the Jews as an eternal possession will suffer His chastisement and judgment. Every nation and individual that opposes this plan and stands with Israel as a blessing to her will enjoy His blessing. That is why we have launched a national campaign to rally opposition to the Obama Administration's plan, to expose the anti-Semitism that lies behind world efforts to curse Israel, and to support the Jewish people. Your gift today to bless Israel is urgently needed.</p>
