“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may they prosper who love you.”

Maayana Miskin—[Israeli] ‘Government to Split Jerusalem—Where are the Rabbis?’:
The government is planning to cede several sites in ancient Jerusalem to Muslim and Christian ownership, and Israel’s rabbis remain silent, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel has accused.
“There is a terrible plan, called the ‘holy basin,’ to split Jerusalem between Christians, Muslims and Jews,” Rabbi Ariel said, speaking to Arutz Sheva.
Rabbi Ariel, who heads the Temple Institute, continued, “The Christians will get the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Mount Zion, the Muslims will get the Temple Mount, and we Jews will need to visit the Kotel (Western Wall) under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority.”
The Palestinian Authority (PA) denies the Jewish connection to the Western Wall, and PA TV has labeled Jewish worship at the holy site “sin and filth.”

Khaled Abu Toameh—Mabrouk to Abbas on Tenth Year of His Four Year Term!: Kerry does not seem to care whether Abbas is a “rightful” president or not. He is so desperate for a diplomatic achievement that he is prepared to ignore fundamental facts. How exactly does Abbas plan to enforce a peace agreement in the Gaza Strip when he cannot even visit his private residence there? The only way to find out what Palestinians really want is by letting them head to the ballot boxes. Palestinians representing all groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, should be allowed to run.
Elder of Ziyon: Jordanian Paper Outraged That Arab States Don’t Hate Israel Enough— An article in Jordan’s Assawsana is upset over reported secret ties between Israel and some Arab countries. It starts off with “I would not be surprised in the coming days to see Israelis wearing the Arab turban and robe, sitting in the palaces of the oil sheikhs without fear or shame as if they were the owners of the land, and not trespassers of sacred Islamic and Arab land who displaced and killed our family and still wreak havoc by bombing Gaza and arresting people in the West Bank and filling their prisons with detainees….”
Lee S. Bender and Jerome R. Verlin: The ‘Homeland’ is the Homeland History Exhibit’s Rightful Home— The group of 22 Arab states that persuaded UNESCO to cancel a Simon Wiesenthal Center exhibit on the Jewish people’s 3,500-year homeland connection awakened far more attention to forgotten history than the exhibit could have achieved left alone. This is even more hypocritical when, at the same time at UN headquarters, there is a prominent display about “Palestine” that is replete with outright historical distortions and bias against Israel. Unfortunately, all too typical of the racist, anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist behavior displayed at the UN. Rabbi Marvin Hier, Dean of the SWC, stated UNESCO “is not supposed to be a place of censorship. It is not supposed to deny one nation the right to their history… The Arab Group’s protest is not over any particular content in the exhibition, but rather the very idea of it – that the Jewish people …trace their historical and cultural roots in that land for three and a half millennia.”
Emily Amrousi: Abandoned by the Israeli establishment— Recently, the Israeli ambassador called me from one of the bigger states in the U.S., saying quite a few Christian lovers of Israel have asked him for publicity material regarding the settlements. “Why have you come to me?” I ask him. “Why not higher up, the Foreign Ministry? I’m sure they have video and visual materials and statistics.”
Dr. Jill Bellamy van Aalst: Sudan’s connection to Syria’s WMDs— As international attention focuses on the destruction of Syria’s long-denied chemical weapons program, its biological weapons program, although acknowledged in 2012 by then-Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi, remains in the shadows. For decades, as President Bashar Assad quietly built his chemical arsenal from trading with partners such as Germany and the Netherlands, these activities and the sale in chemical precursors, which are illegal under the U.N. Chemical Weapons Convention, slid under the radar and caused no real concern. For the most part, the sale of chemical precursors to states like Iraq, Iran and Syria were largely ignored or, in some instances, denied by nonproliferation parties who were more inclined to criticize the United States for their engagement in Iraq and failing to support the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, Verification Protocol. The protocol would have allowed inspectors drawn from countries like Iran to enter the U.S.’s most classified defense laboratories. As Syria quietly amassed a huge chemical weapons arsenal, nonproliferation and arms control nongovernmental organizations and even several state signatories to the Chemical Weapons Convention looked the other way.
Clifford D. May: ‘World powers surrendered to Iran’— Iranian President Hassan Rouhani last week tweeted a declaration of diplomatic victory: “In #Geneva agreement world powers surrendered to Iran’s national will.” In response, White House press secretary Jay Carney said not to worry: “It doesn’t matter what they say. It matters what they do.” OK, so what are they doing? Abbas Araqchi, Iran’s chief negotiator, has provided the answer. “No facility will be closed; enrichment will continue, and qualitative nuclear research will be expanded,” he said. “All research into a new generation of centrifuges will continue.” Iran also is sending warships into the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in history — a not-so-subtle message, perhaps?
Ruthie Blum: Rouhani’s curtain call— Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has been strutting through the halls of the World Economic Forum in Davos like an Oscar nominee at the Academy Awards. And why wouldn’t he be working the red carpet with a wide grin on his face, while treated like a movie star?
Andrew J. Tabler: Avoiding Assad’s Forced Solution to the Syria Crisis— The UN retraction of Iran’s invitation to this week’s Syria peace talks in Montreux, Switzerland, does little if anything to change the Assad regime’s approach to those talks. President Bashar al-Assad’s statements in recent days indicate that he and his backers are attempting to pressure the United States and the rest of the “London 11” countries supporting the opposition at the conference — Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. In particular, Damascus hopes to change the framework of the talks from arranging a genuine transition to accepting a forced settlement centered on Assad’s upcoming “reelection” for a third seven-year term, which will not take place for at least four months (his current term ends on July 7). Since little is likely to be accomplished at this week’s talks, Washington should concentrate on steps the United States and its allies can take regardless of how the talks go, especially in terms of delivering humanitarian assistance to besieged areas and strengthening the moderate Syrian opposition through promotion of local elections.
Eliot Lauer and Jacques Semmelman: After 28 Years, Pollard Deserves Facts, Not Fiction—As pro bono attorneys for Jonathan Pollard since 2000, we never cease to be amazed at how those who are hostile to Pollard feel compelled to make up facts. In an opinion piece in the New York Times titled “Don’t trust this spy,” M.E. Bowman makes a series of false and inflammatory allegations that are contradicted by the public court record. Bowman now claims that Pollard supposedly “sold the daily report from the U.S. Navy’s Sixth Fleet Ocean Surveillance Facility in Rota, Spain.” That allegation is nowhere to be found in the public court record. Moreover, it is contradicted by the 1987 CIA report which concluded that Israel never even requested information from Pollard concerning “U.S. military activities, plans, capabilities or equipment.”
Nia Bugti: Who Will Protest the Occupation of Balochistan?—In Balochistan, thousands of indigenous people have been tortured, brutalized, slaughtered, ethnically cleansed and exploited for over 60 years by Pakistan, that occupies the eastern part of the region, and Iran, that occupies the Western half. The Baloch never willingly accepted being a part of Pakistan or Iran. Their culture, customs, language, and traditions are totally different. The Baloch form 55-60% of Iran’s crane-hanging victims. Balochistan was an independent nation for over two thousand years, until the British invasion in 1839. In Iran, the dissemination of Baloch culture and language is a declared act of treason, and Baloch are not allowed to give their children Balochi names. There are no magazines, newspapers or any other media in Balochi. Similar legislation exists in Pakistan. Is there a reason why all Muslim and Arab nations have a strange obsession with Israel and the Jews, but are totally apathetic about their fellow Muslims being butchered in Balochistan?

Zephaniah 3: 8-11
“Therefore wait for Me,” declares Yahweh, “for the day when I rise up as a witness. Indeed, My decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out on them My indignation, all My burning anger; for all the earth will be devoured by the fire of My zeal. For then I will give to the peoples purified lips, that all of them may call on the name of Yahweh, to serve Him shoulder to shoulder. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, My dispersed ones, will bring My offerings. In that day you will feel no shame because of all your deeds by which you have rebelled against Me; for then I will remove from your midst your proud, exulting ones, and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain.”

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now. There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone. Click here to order the eBook.
