“'The Temple Will Never be Rebuilt', Islamist Movement Says”

Mufti: 'Temple Won't be Rebuilt'
The deputy chief of the Islamist movement in Israel Kimal Al-Khatib told thousands of children in a Saturday Islamist protest on the Temple Mount that the Jewish Temple will never be rebuilt. His speech was published in the Jerusalem-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper Monday morning.

“If the Jews think that their mourning will end and they will rejoice by destroying the Al-Aqsa mosque and building their Temple, we say to them that their dream will not be fulfilled and they will continue to mourn. Al-Aqsa is for Muslims only,” he said.

Al-Khatib was referring to the traditional period of mourning Jews commemorate every summer for the destruction of the Holy Temples on Tisha B'Av (The ninth of the Hebrew month of Av). The Second Temple was destroyed in 70 CE by the Romans, while the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosque were erected in 691 and 705 CE.

The Head of the Islamist movement in Jerusalem, Icharma Savri, also spoke to the assembled children. He previously served as the Chief Mufti of the Palestinian Authority.

“I tell this gathering, swearing by Allah, and in defiance of our enemies. We pass this safekeeping from generation to generation. Al-Aqsa is the safekeeping of the future generations, one after the other, and the children are dedicated to Al-Aqsa. They are the generation which will free it from our enemies,” he said.

Art's Commentary....Ezekiel prophesied of this very attitude of Israel's enemies when he spoke 2600 years ago. "Thus saith the Lord God; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession", Ezekiel 36:2. There is a God who knows the end from the beginning and His Word shall stand. Ezekiel spoke further of our day, "Therefore thus saith the Lord God; surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, And against all Idumea, (the PA who are descendants of the Edomites) which appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey", Ezekiel36:5. The Palestinians can claim the land of Israel and boast about what they are going to do, but the God of Israel will have the last say. The God of the Bible has already told us the end from the beginning, what He has said in the past has been fulfilled in great detail, those things which He has promised to Israel will surely yet come to pass also.

The Lord has said that He will use Israel`s enemies to chasten her and bring her back to a perfect relationship with himself, Zechariah 13:8-9. Woe to the enemies of God and of Israel, they will ulimately be destroyed. Zechariah 14:1-3, 12.

Looking for His glorious appearing! Titus 2:13
