  1. about to have cruisades part 2

  2. The literal city of Jerusalem lost its "luster" some 2,000 years ago when Jesus, while in the temple area, told the Jews three days before they had him executed on a stake: "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the KILLER of the prophets and STONER of those sent to her—how often I wanted to gather your children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings !"

    "But you did NOT want it. Look ! Your house (or "sacred temple") is ABANDONED to you. For I say to you, you will by no means see me from now until you say (quoting Ps 118:26), ‘Blessed is the one who comes in Jehovah’s name !’”(Matt 23:37-39; Note: Jehovah is God's name, see Isa 12:2, KJV)

    So, it is not surprising that Jerusalem is the same today as it was when Jesus walked about it from 29-33 C.E., in which Jerusalem is as what Jeremiah the prophet was told by Jehovah to tell the apostate Jews, whereby Jeremiah was often at the temple before its destruction by the Babylonians in 607 B.C.E., with words from Jehovah to tell the rebel Jews.(Jer 7:1-7; 19:14, 15; 26:1, 2)

    At Jeremiah 13, Jehovah told Jeremiah to tell the rebellious Jews: "Then say to them, ‘This is what Jehovah says: “Here I am filling with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land, the kings sitting on the throne of David, the priests and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem."

    "And I will smash them against each other, fathers and sons alike,” declares Jehovah. “I will not show compassion or feel any sorrow or have any mercy on them; nothing will stop me from bringing them to ruin…….." (which was fulfilled when King Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the city with its Jewish citizens from 609-607 B.C.E., see 2 King 25:1-10)

    "Can a Cushʹite (or an Ethiopian, or one whose skin is dark) change his skin, or a leopard its spots (both being impossible) ? If so (saying in mocking way), then you can do good (but in reality, they would NOT change their violent ways and hence reaped destruction), you who are trained to do bad."(Jer 13:12, 13, 23)

    So, the Jews today with their "sacred" city of Jerusalem have the same violent attitude as their forefathers, being part of the wicked world with its murderers, unwilling to change, incorrigible, and that is why Jesus told the Jews in the 1st century C.E., that they were abandoned by Jehovah God and foretold their upcoming destruction by the Roman armies in 70 C.E. at Matthew 24:15, 16 and Luke 19:41-44.

  13. “However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: ‘Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the Lord, Or what is the place of My rest? Has My hand not made all these things?’

    Acts 7:48‭-‬50

  14. Every time I eat a Bacon Cheeseburger, I wonder how many religions laws am I breaking.

  15. Most Christians in Israel are Arabs and Israel hates all Arabs, they don't actually care about religion.

  16. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to The Father except through Him.

  17. maybe too many years of american veto over human rights abuses in israel?
    not holding them to account for continued expansion?
    but they aren't christians to the americans.
    they're palestinians.
    just fine for discrimination.

  18. "I was glad when they said unto me, "Let us go into the house of the LORD."

    "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee."
    ~ Psalm 122:7 (KJV) 🕊

  19. Religion is the opium of the masses.

  20. Notice how it's the jews doing all the attacks, yet the Muslims will be blamed, these are our brothers and sisters,Muslims and Christians believe in Jesus, yet the jews do not, and yet they call themselves the people of God, notice how there isn't any Christian or Islamic versions of Zionism, ask yourselves why that is? It's time we all get together to rid the earth of this evil we call Judaism. I dare anyone who doesn't believe in Zionism to speak out against the jews and Israel, and see what's gonna happen, you will become a target and be persecuted just for having a prospective on the situation
    I have $1000 for each person who proves me wrong, go!

  21. I feel sorry for the Jews who don't know Jesus was their true Messiah!!! I'm just finding out that in 1588 what is now the Congo was called Land Of The Jews!!! They were the real Jews who were forced from their land, and those same Jews were then put on the Slave ships in the Atlantic Slave trade and brought to America, so yes The African Americans are the lost Jews who throughout history they have been trying to keep out!!!! SMH, never to old to learn something new! I welcome my Jewish ancestry and know that Jesus was and still is out true Messiah!!!

  22. This is only precautionary to deter their abusive behavior surrounding Al-Aqsa Mosque.

    “It never had anything to do with taking away Muslims rights to prayer, it was all about the fire hazards”.

    😭😭😭😭

  23. Religion is worthless. Politicians are worthless. This is the day of the Lord. Rebels and sinners will be destroyed.

  24. That is the reality of Israel-Apartheid, it's a racist criminal state

  25. No one is safe from the evil 👺

  26. Burn any and all religious iconography and erase it all from the face of the earth. We don't need insignificant things to fight over. Skin color is enough already.

  27. Religion is a blight on humanity.

  28. Israel is a messed up place all around, I guess revenge is s fish best served cold.

  29. Christian deluded deceivers ha Satan the devil children

  30. Seplica means the grave. God defeated death. Don't they know that. Woe 🥀
