Zechariah 12:3 “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
Editor's Note: Jim Bakker teaches to watch Israel closely because it is the prophetic timeclock for the unfolding of Last Days events. In Matthew 24, Israel is the fig tree that the Lord told His people to observe to understand the times. It is like a barometer of what is happening in the nations.
Muslim youths attacked Israeli police for a second day at the al-Aqsa mosque complex in East Jerusalem.
The site, considered holy by both Jews and Muslims, was raided by Israeli police after Palestinian youths attempted to attack far-right Jews who visited the complex for the Jewish New Year.
“As the police entered the compound, masked youths fled inside the mosque and threw stones at the force,” a police spokesperson said in a statement.
Nine Palestinian youths were arrested.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would be holding emergency talks on the clashes between police and Palestinians that began Sunday.
Netanyahu said in a statement he would “use any means to maintain the status quo and the rule of law on the Temple Mount”.
Police also discovered that the Palestinians were stocking up on pipe bombs and other weapons. A cache of bombs and weapons was found near to the mosque site and is currently being forensically examined by Israeli authorities.
United Nations officials in the area called for calm saying they wanted everyone to do their share in “ensuring that visitors and worshippers demonstrate restraint and respect for the sanctity of the area”.
