Pray again for today - Friday - please

Frustrated and disgusted.

As many of you  may know by now, Israel not only took down the metal detecters at the Temple Mount, but they have removed ALL the security measures they had in place.  The Muslim leaders gave their demands to Israel in order for the riots & demonstrations to stop, and Israel met them all. And now, they are dancing, singing and rejoicing that they got Israel to surrender to them.  Here is a cartoon from their media:

Not only are they celebrating, but they are still protesting and clashing with the police.  Thousands of Muslims flooded the Temple Mount yesterday as their leaders approved them to return after all security was removed.  With their return came trouble.  We saw videos of them taunting the police and they threw stones at them - they also threw stones down to the Western Wall area where the Jews come to pray (there were no injuries).

Many feel the action of the government is disgraceful, and will lead to more violence.  Due to the violence already last night, Israel is barring anyone under the age of 50 to enter the Temple Mount for Friday Muslim prayers.  They are also setting up checkpoints around the Old City as they did last week.

Earlier in the week, both Hamas (a terror organization) and Fatah (the Palestinian leadership) ordered Friday as another "day of rage" and also to riot in Judea & Samaria (known the world as the west bank) - and blocking the settlements where the Jewish people live in that region.  If they continue to protest with violence, after Israel has removed everything, will this then prove to the world that it had nothing to do with the metal detectors, cameras or barrier fences?? Not likely.  We again encourage you to please watch the video links we posted in our last update - "Must See."

Here is also a video of a security guard "telling it like it is."

So, again, please pray for the peace of Jerusalem - and all of Israel.  This is an interesting time for these protests over the Temple Mount, as the the 9th of Av (on the Jewish calendar) is August 1st - this commemorates the destruction of the two Biblical Temples that stood on the Temple Mount.  Will not forget His promise to redeem His mountain.

"I will bring them to my holy mountain

and make them joyful in my house of prayer;

their burnt offerings and sacrifices

will be accepted on my altar;

for my house will be called

a house of prayer for all peoples.”

Adonai Elohim says,

he who gathers Isra’el’s exiles:

“There are yet others I will gather,

besides those gathered already.”

Isaiah 56:7-8
