A delegation of US congressmen visited Jerusalem on Thursday in a show of solidarity with the Jewish state against the enormous pressure being applied by the Obama Administration for Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria to stop growing.

The group of Republican lawmakers, led by Virginia representative Eric Cantor, the only Jewish Republican in Congress, said that US President Barack Obama needs to get over his new obsession with Jewish settlements and focus on the real threat to peace in the region - Iran's nuclear program.

Cantor said it was premature to be pressing either Israel or the Palestinians so hard when nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran could destroy anything the peace process does manage to accomplish.

In an indication of where he and other Republicans stand on the growth of Jewish communities in areas claimed by the Palestinians, Cantor blasted Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for their criticism of Israel over the eviction of Palestinian squatters from a Jewish-owned building on the eastern side of Jerusalem.

"I don't think we, in America, would want another country telling us how to implement and execute our laws," said Cantor.

Sheik Raad Salah, the leader of the Islamic movement in Israel and speaking to Moslem students at Haifa University, told them that he would rather die than to give up the Islamic holy site where the Dome of the Rock is located in Jerusalem, the Temple Mount, and suggested the students should be ready to do the same. Sheik Salah also repeated his claim that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was intending on completing his plan to gain control of the Temple Mount and to rebuild the Jewish temple on the site that Moslems believe is holy - the third holiest site after Mecca and Medina.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

Moslems that would give their lives to protect and possess the Temple Mount in Jerusalem area actually setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

The Temple Mount in Jerusalem is becoming more and more a center of controversy. The Temple Mount is the third holiest piece of real estate for Moslems. To the Jews, it the most holy site in all of the world and the site of the first and second Jewish temples. Moslems who are ready to die to protect and possess this site would fit a scenario that will be played out in the last days according to Bible prophecy.

Zechariah said that the Temple Mount would be the center of controversy in the end times (Zechariah 12:2). Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Joel said that the Moslem world would come to Jerusalem to take it from the Jewish people (Isaiah 51:3, Ezekiel 36:35, and Joel 2:3). Ezekiel also wrote of a temple on the Temple Mount for the Messiah to rule and reign from that location (Ezekiel 40 - 46). Ezekiel's temple is the temple for the kingdom period in the future. The next temple to be erected on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem will be the one standing during the seven year Tribulation period (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, II Thessalonians 2:4, and Revelation 11:1). However, this next temple will not be built until after the Rapture when Christians depart from Earth for the heavens. Until that time, no one can build the temple even Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
