may lift up our head God you'll give me the anointing I'll give you the praise of the honor in the glory Jesus name we pray amen a new man you may be seated we begin today to speak about the Land of Israel and how that God had given April April ham the Land of Israel we spoke about Moses being told that he would bring the shooter of Israel back into that land back into that land of Israel we spoke today about how that David Abraham offered on a certain mount Mount Moriah which was chosen of God Abraham offered Isaac up on Mount Moriah David went to Mount Moriah and bought the top of Mount Moriah to build an altar later Solomon would build a house of God at the spot of Mount Moriah and we begin to talk about how that there were some old paths that the Kings had to walk in old paths about not multiplying horses to make the trip to Egypt quick an old path that said you were not to multiply wives that they would turn your heart from serving God an old path that said you were not to multiply a silver and gold these things were old past Solomon paid no attention to he paid no attention probably felt like that that belonged to another generation but not him we find Solomon breaking every commandment of the old path from the horses to the wives the silver Solomon's life ends by Jerusalem the house of God the people of God plunging headlong into idolatry they were maintaining the temple there's something special about the temple 2nd chronicles 6 and 6 God said I have chosen Jerusalem that my name might be there Jerusalem is a special City tonight because God has chosen Jerusalem we it would be Solomon's son Rehoboam and second chronicles chapter 12 and verse number 13 so King wrote Rio Boehm strengthened himself in Jerusalem and rain fell Rio balm was 1 in 40 years old when he began to reign and he reigned 17 years in Jerusalem the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel see again the Bible injects it what's special about Jerusalem sums chapter 48 and verse number one great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God in the mountain of his holiness Jerusalem is now called the city of our God Psalm 78 verse 68 through 70 but chose the tribe of Judah the Mount Zion which he loved he built his sanctuary like high palaces like the earth which he had the stablished for ever he chose David also his servant and took him from the Sheep folders Psalms 133 I'm reading these verses to you tonight to show you of why Jerusalem is special sums 132 verse 13 for the Lord hath chosen Zion Jerusalem he hath desired yet for his habitation that's where he wants to live he has chosen it he has desired Isaiah 14 32 what shall one that answer the messengers of the nation that the Lord hath found in Zion and the poor of his people shall trust in it I read these verses because I want to lay a good foundation of why God loves Jerusalem why Jerusalem is so special we find that he said I have chosen Jerusalem to put my name there I want to put my name in Jerusalem listen to first Quranic is chapter 13 verse number 6 and David went up in all Israel to Bella that is Curt Jack Jeremiah which belonged to Judah to bring fence the Ark of the God the Lord that dwelleth between the cherubims whose name is called on it now want you to read it into the New King James which kind of brings it out that last that last phrase that said whose name is called on it and it says the Ark of God the Lord who dwells between the cherubim where his name is proclaimed there was something special about Jerusalem number one God chose it number two God put his name there at Jerusalem he put his character there in that house we understand that the psalmist said that we are led in paths of righteousness for his name's sake there's something about the name of God and the behavior of God's people we must understand as a little boy growing up when I was going out going to school catching a school bus going out to play going over to the neighbor's house my mama would say these words you better remember who you are you better remember who your daddy is in other words she was saying you better behave because you've got the last name carpenter and you need to behave because of this name so we have a temple and we have his name and that's why tonight maybe a little bit of a lengthy reading but I want to read you 2nd chronicles 36 and verse number 1 just read and study along with me tonight the importance of the temple then the people of the land to Jehovah as the son of Josiah and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem and Jehovah as was twenty and three years old we begin to reign and he reigned three months in Jerusalem and the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold now because jehoahaz was not sold out to Jehovah Egypt could overcome him and he had to pay taxes to Egypt verse 4 and the king of Egypt may Alya come his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem and turned his name to Jehovah and Nicko to jehoahaz his brother and carried him to Egypt and jehovah come was twenty and five years old when he began to reign and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God remember there's something about his name being there now and the behavior that has to go with the name was it not our great Apostle Paul that said in his letter to the Timothy let every one that name of the name of Christ depart from iniquity there is something about God's name and the behavior of God's people it was this King that began to do evil in the sight of the Lord verse 6 against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon bound him in fetters and carried him to Babylon Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of God of the house of the Lord to Babylon and put them in his temple at Babylon now the rest of the acts of Jehovah and his abominations which he did and that which was found in him behold they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah and enjoy awesome his son reigned in his stead and Jehovah was eight years old when he began to reign and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem and he did that which was evil look this is repeated in the sight of the Lord and when the year was expired King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon with the goodly vessels of the house of the Lord and made tzedakah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem and said of kylus one in 20 years old when he began to reign and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord is God and humble not himself before Jeremiah the Prophet speaking from the mouth of the Lord and he also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear by God but he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart from turning under the Lord God of Israel I want you to see this now it seems like that God is trying to give king after king after king opportunity to say Jerusalem all I need is a man to lead in the right way that is me to my name but king after king Walt in an evil way he says in verse number 14 moreover all the chief of the priests and the people transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen and polluted the house of the Lord which he had Hollywood in Jerusalem and the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers rising up between times and sending because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place look at God he's sending prophet after prophet after prophet why he has chosen Jerusalem his name is there he has compassion upon his people but they mocked the messengers of God and despised his words and misused his prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people till there was no remedy oh my what a what a sad state to be found in because they would not listen to the prophets of God that said thus saith the Lord because they would not listen to the prophets it said turn away from the gods of the heathen we are a separate people we are a holy nation we are a royal priesthood but they begin to Maul the men that preached the old past they begin to mock the men that began to call out the day which they were living and he began to expose that things of that day they begin to mock the preachers they begin to mark those prophets they begin to make fun of them they begin to say their outdated they begin to say they're not relevant they begin to say they're out of touch and when they begin to mock those prophets God said there is no remedy because of the power of the priest taught Word of God what can change the impossibility of your life is the preaching of the word of the Lord what can change your marriage is the preaching of the word of God what can take the desire for alcohol what can take the desire for drugs both illegal and drugs that have been prescribed by doctors and you find yourself addicted I'm telling you you need to fall under the preaching of a man who is preaching about we need to get back to the old paths there was no remedy till the Lord rose up against him there was no remedy therefore he brought upon them the king of the counties who slew their young men with the sword in the house of the sanctuary and had no compassion upon the young men men or Maiden old men were him that stupor age he gave them all into their hand come on say a God finder that a group come in and had no compassion Babylon had a little compassion but the counties had no compassion they came in with the sword that he cared use in a sanctuary or not that he cared use young lays hold stooped over they took your life all of the vessels of the house of God great and small and the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the King and of his Prince's all these he brought to Babylon and they burned the house of God and break down the wall of Jerusalem and burn all the palaces thereof with fire and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereon and them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon where they were servants and his sons unto the reign of his kingdom of Persia to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of jeremiah until the land had enjoyed her Sabbath's for as long as she laid desolate she kept Sabbath's to fulfill threescore and ten years now we have no temple we have absolutely no temple because God had a land with a plan but God also had a city with his name but now because of the sinful behavior of his people Jerusalem at this date Jerusalem lies waste there's no sacrifice there's no temple there's no water there's no Ark of the Covenant there's no teaching priest there is simply no city but you understand something tonight God God had a plan God had a plan and that plan was that God was going to come to this earth in the form of a man and this God was going to come into a temple but wait a minute Malachi 3 verse number 1 behold I will send my messenger and he shall prepare the way before me and the Lord and the Lord whom ye see and the Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to his temple even the messenger the Covenant whom he delight in behold he shall come saith the Lord of Hosts you see when God has a plan God is in control of saint and sinner God is in control of all governments you hear me tonight God is in control of all governments Malachi 3 said there was a temple the Lord was going to come into his temple I Got News for you there's no temple for the Lord to come in that was 397 years before the birth of Jesus Christ but something happened over in the book of Ezra Ezra chapter 1 and verse number 1 now the first year of Cyrus king of Persia that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and put it also in writing saying thus saith Cyrus and I Got News for you Cyrus is not at you Cyrus is not a godly man he is a heathen pagan King but God says Cyrus has the power and I lead a kingdom built I need a temple built i need because just 397 years from now I'm gonna robe myself in flesh and Joseph and Mary are going to need to take me that's prescribed in the law into the temple to offer up a sacrifice but there is not a temple there's not until God taps the shoulder of the most unlikely man that would have this to be able to say God stirred him up and he said this in verse 2 thus saith Cyrus king of Persia the Lord God of heaven have given me all kingdoms of the earth and he had charged me to build a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah who is there among you all his people his God be with him let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah and build the house of the Lord God of Israel he is the God which is in Jerusalem whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth let them in him in his place help him was silver and with gold and with goods and at least besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Giroud this heathen king begins to make a proclamation this heathen King begins to stir people up I mean they were used to prophets coming and saying thus saith the Lord they were used to prophets coming and saying the Lord has said but when this mighty ruler Cyrus steps help he says I need to make a proclamation today I need to tell you something now behind the scenes he tells us why he said it because God has stirred him he didn't know why he was saying that I submit to you that God is able to tap world leaders on the shoulder and put in their heart to do things that are going to bring about the second return of Jesus Christ he began to talk about building a house and they did build that house that helps begin to be built in 397 be seen Hill and Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem he was born in a time that there was a temple Harry twenty years before the birth of Jesus Christ Harry it is called Herod's temple but actually Cyrus had it rebuilt and they kind of remodeled what Cyrus had had built isn't it amazing that God uses two wicked men to fulfill and to have and we know from Luke 21 to 21 to 30 that Jesus was brought into the house of God and he's dedicated the most unlikely man why the Bible must be fulfilled the temple must be there but some 30 years later that same God robed in flesh who was dedicated in that temple in Luke 19 and verse number 41 some 30 some odd years later the Bible said Jesus Christ when he was come near he beheld the city and he wept over it he beheld the city of Jerusalem and he wept over it say if thou has known even thou at least in this side a the things which belong unto thy peace but now they are hid from don eyes for the days shall come upon thee that that enemies shall cast the trench about thee and can pass the roundabout and keep me in on every side and shall lay thee even with the ground and thy children within thee and they shall not lead in thee one stone upon another because they'll newest not the time of the visitation that first temple was destroyed because the behavior of the people did not match the name that was being called in the tip and when idolatry ruled God's people God said I would rather the temple be destroyed than to have my people in idolatry and embracing me and the first temple was destroyed Cyrus Remiel the second temple but now the Lord Jesus comes he looks out over Jerusalem the city that God has chosen he looks out over the temple and it begins to week any weeks because the people are not aware that it's their day of visitation their God walked among them and they were too concerned with the idolatry of the religion to turn an ear or an eye to him he told them on many occasions would you search the Scriptures for in them you think you have life but these are they which testify of me he stood and he cried he we there at thirty years of age can he prophesied he saw the day is coming that your enemy is going to surround you they're going to pull every stone down they're going to kill your children and it's all because you did not know the time of thy visitation some 40 years later 70 AD Titus the Roman captain surrounded Jerusalem the siege began on April 4th 70 AD three days before the beginning of Passover that year the siege lasted for four months it ended on August in August of 70 AD with the burning and the destruction of the Second Temple the historian the historian Josephus describes that they came into the temple of which it was very crowded because of the time of Passover and that they slaughtered so many people who had gathered around the altar until the bodies were in heaps and the altar was disappeared John Josephus said that blood flowed out of the temple as they plundered the temple and they set the kimple on fire and they pulled every Josephus says that it seemed a boiling hatred came up in the Romans that they would not leave until they had pulled stones down and burned every conceivable thing that could burn is a matter of fact in 80 in 80 AD an arch was built in Rome to commemorate the destruction of Jerusalem it is called the arch of Titus and it you would be so kind to put the arch of Titus this still stands today it was built in 80 in 80 80 it was built to commemorate what it looked like when Titus walked back in to Rome victorious over Jerusalem he carried pieces of the temple and there you can see the lamb you can see that golden lamp there that they carry over here to my right you can see trumpets that priests would use to tell the people to worship you can see pieces of furniture there at the arch of Titus and so the temple there has not been a temple for the Jewish people they were dispersed throughout the land they were dispersed throughout the land until around 1860 give or take a few years they begin to migrate back to the Land of Israel it would be the persecution of Adolf Hitler that would cause the Jewish people to begin to migrate back but they migrate it back but they had no nation they had no city they were immigrants they're that bound together upon a promise that God Abraham Isaac and Jacob in 19 and 48 there was a battle that was raged and a group of ragtag army declared Israel's freedom to exist and proclaim be proclaimed as a nation now Cyrus was the most unlikely man to build the temple of course it says brother Nolan that God stirred him a Cyrus was the most unlikely man and can I tell you the most unlikely man has been elected the President of the United States of America most when he began he came down those escalators he came down an escalator Washington for the longest time nobody took him serious but masterminds the political minds the minds of Hollywood our own record he will never never never never be elected but all that November night when things took a change Donald Trump became our president with a promise on the campaign trail I promise to move the embassy to Jerusalem I promise to move the embassy to Jerusalem well that's not a that's not a promise that's not a promise that was strange many presidents before him made the same promise courting the Jewish vote but they never followed through with it but the most unlikely man becomes the President of the United States 70 years to the day 70 years to the day May 14th 2008 teen I want to direct your attention to the screen as God moved upon a man the most unlikely man not since the recognition of Israel in 1948 by President Harry Truman has our government conducted such sweeping and significant actions in relation to the Middle East in the Bible God says he will bless those who bless Israel join us as we celebrate the historic move of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to the eternal capital of Israel the city of Jerusalem distinguished guests and their friends Tammy and I welcome you to the opening and dedication of the United States Embassy in Jerusalem Israel on this exact day 70 years ago at almost this exact time David ben-gurion declared Israel's independence just 11 minutes later President Harry Truman caused the United States to be the very first nation to recognize the reborn State of Israel he later regretted that he waited so long 70 years since that memorable event almost to the minute the United States finally takes the next step a step awaited voted upon litigated and prayed for for all these years today we opened the United States Embassy in Jerusalem Israel exactly 70 years ago the United States under President Harry Truman became the first nation to recognize the State of Israel today we officially opened the United States Embassy in Jerusalem congratulations it's been a long time coming almost immediately after declaring statehood in 1948 Israel designated the city of Jerusalem as its capital the capital the Jewish people established in ancient times so important today Jerusalem is the seat of Israel's government it is the home of the Israeli legislature and the Israeli Supreme Court and Israel's prime minister and president Israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital yet for many years we fail to acknowledge the obvious the plain reality that Israel's capital is Jerusalem on December 6 2017 at my direction the United States finally and officially wreck Jerusalem as the true capital of Israel today we follow through all this recognition and open our embassy in the historic and sacred land of Jerusalem and we're opening it many many years ahead of schedule as I said in December our greatest hope is for peace the United States remains fully committed to facilitating a lasting peace agreement and we continue to support the status quo at Jerusalem's holy sites including at the Temple Mount also known as Haram al-sharif this city and its entire nation is a testament to the unbreakable spirit of the Jewish people the United States will always be a great friend of Israel and a partner in the cause of freedom and peace we wish ambassador Freedman good luck as he takes up his office in this beautiful Jerusalem embassy and we extend a hand in friendship to Israel the Palestinians and to all of their neighbors may there be peace may God bless this embassy may God bless all who serve there and may God bless the United

centuries in jerusalem Jewish exile from Babylon rebuilt the temple which stood for many more centuries in Jerusalem the Maccabees rededicated that temple and restored Jewish sovereignty in this land and it was here in Jerusalem some 2,000 years later that the soldiers of Israel spoke three immortal words how a bite be a den the Temple Mount is in our hands words that lifted the spirit of the

torch of freedom in the Middle East who lives and prospers because of your everlasting love for the Jewish people it was you O Lord who gathered the exiles from the nations and brought them home again it was you who made statehood possible it was you that gave a miraculous victory in 1967 when Jerusalem was reopened to worshipers of all faiths Jerusalem is the city of God Jerusalem is the heartbeat of Israel Jerusalem is where Abraham placed his son on the altar of the Temple Mount and became the father of many nations Jerusalem is where Jeremiah and Isaiah penned principles of righteousness that became the moral foundations of Western civilization Jerusalem is where Messiah will come and establish a kingdom that will never end we thank you O Lord for President Donald Trump's courage in acknowledging to the world a truth established 3,000 years ago that Jerusalem is and always shall be the eternal capital of the Jewish people and because of that courage of our president we gather here today to consecrate the ground upon which the United States Embassy will stand reminding the dictators of the world that America Israel offer every United we thank you for our ambassador David

housetops that Israel lives that every Islamic terrorists hear this message Israel lives let it be heard in the halls of the United Nations Israel lives let it echo down the marble halls of the presidential palace in Iran Israel lives let it be known to all men that Israel lives because he that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps as King David prayed 3,000 years ago we pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and all its inhabitants let the name of the Lord be glorified today for the defender of Israel today tomorrow and forever is here can we all shout Alleluia this is worship the Lord thus praise the name of Jesus right now Oh God as we see these things coming to pass Lord God we see these things Lord coming to pass oh mighty god mighty God move among us tonight Lord is the first step Sarris the most unlikely man Donald Trump the most unlikely man don't believe tonight that this is just an event with no significance he'll understands what's happening I googled earlier the response to the u.s. moving its embassy to Jerusalem and it came up with this the cairo-based Arab League comprising 22 member states urged immediately the international community to oppose what it considers an unjust decision and are in the ongoing Israeli occupation of Jerusalem it called the Embassy's relocation a blatant attack on the feelings of Arabs and Muslims and a grave violation of the rules of international law they said this would destabilize the region Palestinians have asked for an urgent meeting at the Arab League on Wednesday to discuss the matters they stirred up about what happened there a little over a few years ago let me talk to you tonight remember when I spoke to you that when they destroyed the first temple there were scriptures that said that Jesus would come to the Second Temple and an unlikely man Cyrus had the temple rebuilt and prophecy rolled on and Jesus was dedicated let me tell you in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse number 1 Paul said now we beseech you brethren by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and by gathering together unto him that ye be not soon shaken in mind or troubled neither by spirit nor by word nor by letter as from us as that day of Christ is at hand let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed that man of sin is the Antichrist be revealed the son of perdition who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God showing himself that He is God the Antichrist when he comes will go into the temple to blaspheme to blaspheme God his Saints but I must tell you Israel does not have a temple to worship in the Temple Mount is not in their control we understand that in Revelation 13 and 5 speaking of the Antichrist and that was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and power was given unto him to continue forty forty and two months he opened his mouth and blasphemy against God to blaspheme name his tabernacle in them that dwell in heaven he was given unto him to make war with the Saints and to overcome them and power was given unto him to overcome all Kindred's tongues and Nations and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship Him whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world any man hath an ear let him hear the temples not meal yet so how can the Antichrist come into a temple that's not yet built well it's simple all God has to do is tap another Cyrus on the shelter all God has to do is tap another Donald Trump on the shoulder you say oh that's the most ho that's one of the three holy sites of the Muslims that's the that's one of the most holy sites they would never give a don't ever say never in the presence of God because he can touch a solace he can touch a Donald Trump and he can touch minds of the world and make them give up that Temple Mount because you hear me just be sure is there happen to be a temple for the Christ child to be dedicated in there has to be a temple for the Antichrist to defile but right now as I preach there is in Jerusalem the Temple Mount institution a group of men and women that are dedicated to believing that they must resume the Old Testament Tabernacle worship for the Messiah come they understand they're faced with an impossibility of the Temple Mount but it's not stop them I want you to watch one more short video with me that talks about the temple mount institution and what they're doing right now Jerusalem eternal City of God the very word is a symphony to the ear for all to whom the Bible is precious and at the heart of Jerusalem lies its secret the Holy Temple on Mount Moriah place of the Shekinah the divine presence called by Isaiah the House of Prayer for All Nations for 2,000 years the Jewish people have prayed to return to the Land of Israel to Jerusalem and to rebuild the Holy Temple today we have returned the city of Jerusalem is built up by thriving vibrant city but what have Jerusalem secret what if the dream for over two decades the temple Institute has been recreating the biblically appointed vessels to be used in the holy temple in preparation for its rebuilding tens of sacred vessels have been completed these vessels have priestly garments on exhibit and the temple Institute's treasures of the Holy Temple exhibition in Jerusalem's Old City are not copies or replicas that are actually fit to be used according to strict biblical standards in the new Holy Temple original source materials such as gold silver and copper and the original sizes and measurements are used exclusively each year 100,000 visitors come to see learn about and experience the promise of the Holy Temple a visit to the temple Institute is the highlight of a trip to Israel for in the presence of these vessels one can feel that the time of the redemption is indeed drawing close the golden menorah the golden table of the showbread the incense altar and tens of other sacred vessels have been painstakingly and precisely recreated silver trumpets Levitical harps and Liars are ready to be heard once again in the streets of Jerusalem the priestly garments include the uniform of the high priest Thea fold the breastplate and the golden crown the result of years of intense research and the efforts of Israel's finest artists and craftsmen are on display for all to see the temple Institute provides specially trained guides who explain the history of the holy temple the nature of the Divine service and the significance of the holy temple for all mankind musicians become please this temple mount institution Institute is ready they have all the furniture ready of all the priests garments ready yeah all this their their breeding right now a pure sacrifice to be offered up they're getting ready the only thing they're all ready they already have the cornerstone for the temple it's already cut it's all it's ready to go in to move to begin the construction of that third temple you say it wouldn't happen proverbs 21 and 1 the heart the king's heart is in the hand of the lord and as the rivers of water he turneth it whithersoever he will I'm telling you that God tapped a Cyrus on the shoulder and he ordered something he didn't understand and God taught tapped another unlikely man our president Donald Trump he did something he probably doesn't understand God's gonna tap somebody on the shoulder they're gonna move off that mount they're gonna build that temple there they're gonna start those sacrifices again because there's got to be a temple there in order for the Antichrist to come in and defile it but let's just move that over the side tonight we the church we the church are waiting for the sound of the trumpet we the church understand that at any moment the trumpet could sell the rapture will happen it will take place and we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together in the clouds to meet the lord in the air pastor you talked a lot about in school tonight give me some science for the rapture

will take place quickly in a moment in a twinkling eye when a thief breaks in time is of the essence he's in he's out quickly the rapture in a moment in the twinkling of an eye the thief comes
