UN Resolution and the Temple Mount

UNESCO, The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization adopted a resolution recognizing the temple mount in Jerusalem as a Muslim holy site. The resolution ignored the historical connection the Jewish people have to the temple mount which has spanned the last three thousand years. Isn't it amazing what oil money can do. It can buy UN votes, Senators, and even Presidents. But oil money cannot change God’s word. The bible states that there will be a Jewish temple in the last days. The Apostle Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 that the man of sin (the Antichrist) will sit in the temple of god declaring himself to be God. This cannot happen if Jerusalem’s Temple Mount remains exclusively in Muslim hands. God has a way of changing things, and nothing changes things like war.

The end time temple prophesied in the bible will be a divided temple, possibly shared by both Jew and Muslim. The temple proper will be Jewish with the outer courts belonging to the gentiles (Muslims).

“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.” (Rev 11:1-2)

To measure with a reed or rod in prophetic scripture is symbolic of a new building project. (Ezekiel 40:1-19). I look for a major war followed by an international agreement which will allow a Jewish temple to be rebuilt sometime in the near future. Jesus said that “scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35), thus the scriptures declaring an end time Jewish temple cannot be broken.

The United Nations is under the delusion that it controls this world. But Psalm 2:4 says, “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.”
