Over the past month, pieces of stone from the Western Wall of the Temple Mount have became loose and broken off. On 30 March 2004, the Heritage Foundation of the Western Wall started repairs to the wall. It is not the first time that pieces of stone from the Western Wall have fallen in the Plaza. On Yom Kippur 5764 (2003), a worshipper was lightly hurt when a stone fell on his head. Even in places where there were no loose stones, new disintegration of the wall has been discovered. Over time, the engineers who checked the situation came to the realisation that this was not a one-off event but a repeated phenomenon.
Cracks were also discovered in many of the stones of the Western Wall. It was very clearly understood that repairs cannot help the situation and that it will continue.
When nobody paid attention to these godly messages, G-d caused an earthquake in Israel on 11 February 2004 which damaged the roof of the Dome of the Rock as a clear message to the Arab enemies of the G-d and people of Israel that their time on the Temple Mount as well as in the land of Israel is over. G-d will no longer accept their pagan presence on His holy mountain. On 14 February 2004 a wall in the area of the Western Wall fell. It was a message to the people of Israel to end the history of worship outside the Temple Mount in front of the Western Wall and to worship their G-d in the place where it should be done, on the Temple Mount. In Biblical times G-d warned the prophets of Israel that often when they spoke His Word to the people they would not be heard, despite the fact that they had ears. However, now, because nobody heeded the godly message, He started to move the Western Wall and to loosen stones and allow them to fall on the people praying in the Western Wall Plaza. Instead of understanding these clear messages, they started to repair the wall which, as we see, does not help. After repairing one set of stones, others became loose and pieces fell. Daily I raise my eyes, attention, and heart to the Temple Mount not only because my heart is there but also to see and be a witness of what G-d will do make Himself clear. To see what God will do to show His determination to fulfil now — and not at any time in the future — His prophetic Word of thousands of years ago, firstly to His people, Israel, and also to His enemies on the Temple Mount and to all the world, that His holy house should be rebuilt in the endtimes in which we are now living. As I wrote in another article, the seismologists stated that in the near future a major earthquake will occur in Israel, the epicentre of which will be on the Temple Mount exactly as prophesied in Zechariah 14 and Joel 4. This will be at the time when the judgement of G-d will take place in Jerusalem on the nations which robbed the land and holy mountain of G-d from Israel and destroyed them. This will be a terrible time for them.
"And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the awesome day of the L-rd come. ... Let the nations be stirred up, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the nations around. ... The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. 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." (Joel 3:3,4;4:12,15,16) I pray that my people, Israel, will listen to the clear messages of G-d and to His call which is given to us today mainly on His holy mountain. When G-d made the covenant with Israel more than 4,000 years ago, it was firstly the greatest privilege of this nation. At the same time it was so clear that Israel cannot run away from the covenant and their godly destiny. Israel is now in the midst of Islamic Arab and international attack which again wants to take away from them the holy mountain, Jerusalem, and the land which G-d gave them in an eternal covenant. Israel should put back their G-d and His values in the midst of their lives and the land on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in His holy, rebuilt Temple. Only this act will defeat this attack and complete the redemption. Only on the Temple Mount will there be a refuge for the people of Israel and complete redemption as G-d said:
"And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the awesome day of the L-rd come. 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. ... 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 3:3-5;4:1,2,16,17,20) [ Published: 20 April 2004 ]
