We could hear Rachel mourning and weeping for the many millions of her children who were persecuted and killed in the exile.

Over the last 2,000 years, since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, the holy city of Jerusalem — the eternal capital of Israel — has seen many foreign forces occupy the city as a part of their empire. The Jewish residents of Jerusalem were taken into exile and the city suffered under foreign occupation and was terribly destroyed. No longer was there the godly Temple on the hill of G-d; the beauty of the city as King David and King Solomon built it was gone. For them it was the holy city of G-d and the eternal and beloved capital of Israel. They gave their lives to make the city where the G-d of Israel dwells the most beautiful city in the world. Since the destruction of the Second Temple, the hill of G-d and Jerusalem, like the rest of the land of Israel, remained a widow who did not stop mourning and weeping for her children. Jewish pilgrims from the exile could not enter Jerusalem. The gates were closed to them by the foreign occupiers of the city. In Bethlehem, close to Jerusalem, they could hear the voice of Rachel the mother of the Jewish people weeping and mourning for the exile of her children from their beloved city and for the destruction of the city d exactly as the prophet Jeremiah prophesied: "Thus says the L-rd; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not" (Jeremiah 31:14). She mourned and wept for the many millions of her children who were persecuted and killed in the exile. Together with her persecuted children she prayed and dreamt for the soon fulfillment of G-d's promises to redeem her children, Jerusalem, and the holy land of Israel; she prayed to rebuild His house and to again dwell among His regathered people. Indeed, they could hear the voice of G-d comforting Rachel and her children: "And there is hope for your future, says the L-rd, that your children shall come again to their own border. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like a bull unaccustomed to the yoke; turn me back, and I shall be turned; for you are the L-rd my God" (Jeremiah 31:16,17).

In 1948 the dream became a reality. Since the destruction of Israel and the Temple everyone in the world believed that G-d had divorced His wife [Israel] and had replaced her. With inhuman hatred they did not stop killing the people of G-d in terrible ways. Even in our generation, six million of the children of G-d and Rachel were burned in the crematoriums of Europe. Not one of the nations all over the world tried to stop it or to avoid it. They had illusions that G-d behaves like a human being and had divorced His beloved wife. They thought that G-d was no longer faithful to His wife, Israel. The redemption of the people and land of Israel in 1948 was not only the fulfillment and the faithfulness of G-d to His promise but, at the same time, the great and exciting appearance of G-d before all the nations to show them that He does not act like a human being. Unlike them, He is faithful to his beloved wife, Israel. Through Israel He again showed His greatness and that even after almost 2,000 years of destruction, exile and persecution, He could redeem His people and regather them to the land in a major godly end-time event that most of the people in the world still do not understand or want to accept. The attacks and wars against Israel since 1948 are not only the continuation of their inexplicable hatred against Israel but, at the same time, a terrible revolt against G-d, His Word, and His end-time plans with Israel and all mankind.

The liberation of the Temple Mount, Jerusalem, and the biblical areas of Israel in Judea, Samaria, Gaza, the Golan Heights, and the Sinai was the climax of the appearance of G-d, His Word and promises before all the world. Finally, G-d showed them all that the redemption of Israel in 1948 was not merely an episode but a godly eternal event and that He is marching to fulfill all His end-time promises and plans with Israel which will lead to the redemption of all mankind.

When The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement marched in the streets of Jerusalem, their eyes were lifted to G-d and to His holy hill, the Temple Mount. They could see and experience how G-d's promises and miracles with Israel had become an exciting reality. On the way from Ammunition Hill to the Temple Mount we could really hear the voice of the G-d of Israel and his prophet Jeremiah speaking to all of us and to the Israel not only as a prophecy and dream but as a live fulfillment. Jerusalem is no longer a destroyed city; her children are back in the city and all over the land; Jerusalem and the land is rebuilt and houses continue to be built and Israeli children play in the streets of Jerusalem. This is exactly as the prophet Zechariah prophesied, and it is all to the honour of G-d. Suddenly, when nobody in the world wanted it or expected it, the exciting promises of G-d became a reality in the hills of Jerusalem and the land:

"Thus says the L-rd, 'The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest. The L-rd has appeared to me, far away, saying, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have remained true to you. Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel; you shall again be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go out dancing with those who make merry. You shall yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy the fruit. For there shall be a day, when the watchmen upon Mount Ephraim shall cry, "Arise, and let us go up to Zion to the L-rd our God. For thus says the L-rd; 'Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout on the hilltops of the nations; proclaim, praise, and say, "O L-rd, save your people, the remnant of Israel"'". Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the ends of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and she who labours with child together; a great company shall return there. They shall come weeping, and with supplications will I lead them; I will make them walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, where they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the L-rd, O you nations, and declare it in the islands far away, and say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, like a shepherd keeps his flock. For the L-rd has redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he". Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of the L-rd, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd; and their soul shall be like a watered garden; and they shall not languish in sorrow any more. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together; for I will turn their mourning to joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness', says the L-rd. Thus says the L-rd; 'A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.'" (Jeremiah 31:1-14)

The United Nations constantly joins with the enemies of Israel and never ceases to express its anti-Israeli policy.

The march to the Temple Mount took place at a critical time in the history of the people and State of Israel. Israel is again surrounded and attacked by cruel enemies and terrorists. They are not ready to accept this or any other Word of G-d. Their goal is to destroy Israel and to prevent G-d from redeeming Israel and all of mankind. Israel is surrounded by most of the nations of the world who again show their hatred toward the people of G-d. The United Nations constantly joins with the enemies of Israel and never ceases to express its anti-Israeli policy in repeated resolutions against Israel, and Jerusalem in particluar. The people of Israel — and I am sure G-d Himself — ask what brings all of them to this inexplicable behavior? In His Word, G-d said to all the nations, especially in these exciting end-times, love Me through my people Israel. They decided instead to revolt against G-d and His Word despite the fact that they saw for themselves the appearance of G-d through and with His people, Israel. Israel is again in danger of military attacks, the purpose of which is to again take Jerusalem and the land from the people of Israel and to establish a foreign anti-godly so-called "Palestinian" state. We have no doubt that this will never succeed. G-d will not allow it. Just as He previously removed from the land all the many powers and nations which occupied it since 70 CE, He will soon remove all of those today that gather with their allies from all over the world.

When we marched on Jerusalem Day we were sure of this fact. We could see the appearance of G-d in the streets of Jerusalem. We saw how all our enemies are becoming so small in comparison to His miracles in the midst of His people. We felt that it is our duty to strengthen the people of Israel, to call them to trust only in the G-d of Israel; to know that their duty today is to immediately remove the presence of the enemies of the G-d and people of Israel from the holy hill and the Temple Mount, to purify it and to build the Third Temple of G-d. We know that this is the major end-time event which will bring the G-d of Israel and His Word into the midst of His people and all the world. Our word on this day through our march was that the sooner the people of Israel will make it, the sooner a real peace will come to Israel and all the world. On this day we carried with us the end-time call and word of G-d to Israel and the ears of all the nations: "The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the L-rd's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall go and say, 'Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the L-rd, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for from Zion shall go forth Torah, and the word of the L-rd from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall decide for many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more'. O house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the L-rd" (Isaiah 2:1-5).

However, when we came to the Jaffa Gate Plaza, we felt it our duty to warn all the nations, including the President of the United States, not to continue in their false "vision" to establish a foreign "Palestinian" state in the land of Israel. It has never existed here before and will never exist here in the future. Before the gates of biblical Jerusalem my friends and I sent a clear message to all of them: Jerusalem and all the land of Israel was given by the G-d of Israel and the Universe to Israel only and to no other nation in the world — especially not to the terrorists of Arafat and the Arab enemies of Israel. This land was given by G-d in an eternal covenant only to Abraham and his seed for a godly purpose. I promised to send the holy Bible of G-d to all of them and advise them to carefully read the Word of G-d and then to understand that G-d made the covenant with Israel and not with "Palestine" or anyone else. I called on the President of the United States as a Christian believer to be faithful to the Word of G-d in this holy book and to immediately leave his anti-godly "vision" which is a terrible revolt against G-d.

It was no accident that three days later the central committee of the Likud, the governing party in Israel, took an historical decision that a "Palestinian" state will never be established in the land of Israel. This voice which started to spread from the gate of Jerusalem will not be silenced until this evil anti-godly "vision" will fail and it is soon to fail because this is the Word of G-d.

Before the beautiful Jaffa Gate, the Tower of David, and the historical palace of King Herod, we restated another godly, real and prophetic vision which become a reality in the godly war of 1967 when Jerusalem was reunited: "A Song of Ascents of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the L-rd. Our feet shall stand inside your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is built as a city which is bound firmly together; There the tribes go up, the tribes of the L-rd, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the L-rd. For thrones of judgment were set there, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; those who love you shall prosper. Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces. For my brothers and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you. Because of the house of the L-rd our God I will seek your good" (Psalm 122).

When we marched from Jaffa Gate to the Temple Mount we could see thousands of children, young and old people, marching and dancing on their way to the Temple Mount. What is a regular sight all over the world is here a miracle and fulfillment of prophecy. It was so exciting to see for ourselves the prophecy of Zechariah from more than 2,600 years ago becoming not merely written words in a book but a reality in the streets of Jerusalem: "Thus says the L-rd of hosts: 'Old men and old women shall again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for the fullness of days. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.' Thus says the L-rd of hosts: 'If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?' says the L-rd of hosts" (Zechariah 8:4-6).

Despite the fact that when we arrived at the Temple Mount the gates of the Temple Mount were closed to us and anyone else, it was the climax of the march and a most exciting moment. All the way from Ammunition Hill we carried the pure souls of the holy soldiers of G-d who gave their lives for the liberation of the hill, the city and the land of G-d in the heroic battle of 1967. They are the soldiers of G-d and they died for Him and for the fulfillment of His prophetic end-time vision for Israel and all the world. When we stood in front of the Western Gate of the Temple Mount we could feel them standing as a great army in front of the holy throne of G-d and asking Him that their sacrifice would not be in vain and that soon He will remove His enemies from the Temple Mount and open the gates to His children, Israel, and rebuild His house to be a house of prayer, worship and love for Israel and for all the nations. We could hear G-d answering them as He answered Rachel: "'And there is hope for your future', says the L-rd, 'that your children shall come again to their own border. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like a bull unaccustomed to the yoke; turn me back, and I shall be turned; for you are the L-rd my God'" (Jeremiah 31:16,17).

It was an exciting moment when the sound of the trumpet and shofar mingled with the words of the prophet Micah in our prayers.

This was the second time since Pesach that we blew the new silver trumpet that was reconstructed exactly according to the word in the Torah. We blew it in front of the hill of G-d exactly as G-d commanded us to do on the holidays of Israel. At the same time the Levites amongst the marchers also blew with a shofar. It was an exciting moment when the sound of the trumpet and shofar mingled with the words of the prophet Micah in our prayers: "But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the L-rd shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it. And many nations shall come, and say, 'Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the L-rd, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for Torah shall go forth from Zion, and the word of the L-rd from Jerusalem. And he shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide concerning far away strong nations; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the L-rd of hosts has spoken it. For let all people walk everyone in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the L-rd our God for ever and ever.' 'In that day', says the L-rd, 'I will assemble her who limps, and I will gather her who is driven out, and her whom I have afflicted; And I will make her who limps a remnant; and her who was cast off, a strong nation; and the L-rd shall reign over them in Mount Zion from this time forth, and for evermore'" (Micah 4:1-7).

When we blew the trumpet and shofar we advised the enemies of Israel which still exist on the Temple Mount to immediately leave the hill of G-d and stop their desecration of the Temple Mount of G-d before G-d removes them in the Day of Judgement, which is soon to come. The voice of G-d in His Word could be heard through the trumpet and the shofar and our prayers:

"Blow the shofar in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the L-rd comes, for it is near at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness. Like twilight spread upon the mountains; a great and mighty people; there has never been the like, nor shall be any more after them, through the years of many generations. ... At their presence the people are in anguish; all faces are covered with blackness. ... And the L-rd utters his voice before his army; for his camp is very large; for he who executes his word is strong; for the day of the L-rd is great and very awesome; and who can abide it? ... Blow the shofar in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly; Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go out of his room, and the bride out of her chamber. Let the priests, the ministers of the L-rd, weep between the vestibule and the altar, and let them say, 'Spare your people, O L-rd, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them'. Why should they say among the people, 'Where is their God?' Then the L-rd was zealous for his land, and pitied his people. And the L-rd answered and said to his people, 'Behold, I will send you grain, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with that; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations; But I will remove far off from you the northerner, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the eastern sea, and his rear toward the western sea, and his stench and foul smell shall rise, though he has done great things. Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice; for the L-rd will do great things. Be not afraid, you beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness shall spring, for the tree bears its fruit, the fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the L-rd your God; for he has given you the first rain in due measure, and he has brought down for you the rain in the first month, the former rain, and the latter rain. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the hopping locust, and the destroying locust, and the cutting locust, my great army which I sent among you. And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the L-rd your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be ashamed. And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the L-rd your God, and none else; and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the L-rd shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the L-rd has said, and among the remnant those whom the L-rd shall call. For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will enter into judgment with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have divided my land. ... And the L-rd roars out of Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shake; but the L-rd will be a refuge for his people, and a fortress for the people of Israel. And you shall know that I am the L-rd your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; then shall Jerusalem be holy, and no strangers shall pass through her any more. And it shall come to pass on that day, that the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the streams of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall issue from the house of the L-rd, and shall water the valley of Shittim. Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done against the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall remain for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. For though I have acquitted them, I have not acquitted those who shed their blood. And the L-rd dwells in Zion'" (Joel 2:1,2,6,11,15-27;3:5-4:2;4:16-21).

In G-d we trust.
