Jerusalem Recognized - 70 Years Complete

"Behold, your house is left unto you desolate... until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh" - Luke 13:35

The Jerusalem Recognition

Luke 21:24: "And Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."

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."

Jerusalem would remain under Gentile control until the very end, then become the world's most controversial issue.

Trump's Historic Declaration

December 6, 2017

"I have determined that it is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel"

- President Donald Trump

The Announcement:

  • First U.S. President to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital
  • Ordered the U.S. Embassy moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
  • Reversed 70 years of U.S. foreign policy
  • Fulfilled campaign promise despite global opposition

Trump's Words:

"Today, we finally acknowledge the obvious: that Jerusalem is Israel's capital. This is nothing more or less than a recognition of reality. It is also the right thing to do."

"Israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital."

70 Years: A Complete Generation

The Biblical Generation:

19472017

Exactly 70 Years!

Psalm 90:10: "The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70 years); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years (80 years)..."

The Significance of 70:

  • November 29, 1947: UN votes to create Israel
  • December 6, 2017: Jerusalem recognized as capital
  • Exactly 70 years: One complete biblical generation
  • Pattern: 70 years of Babylonian captivity, 70 AD destruction

The Math:

1947 + 70 = 2017 ✓ (Normal lifespan complete)

1947 + 80 = 2027 (Maximum lifespan - "by strength")

10 years remain to the maximum!

The World's Response

Immediate Global Outcry:

  • UN General Assembly: 128 nations condemned the decision
  • European Union: Unanimously rejected the recognition
  • Arab League: Called it "dangerous and unacceptable"
  • Organization of Islamic Cooperation: Emergency summit held
  • Pope Francis: Expressed "deep concern"

UN Emergency Session (December 21, 2017):

The UN General Assembly voted 128-9 to declare the U.S. recognition "null and void." Only 9 nations supported the U.S. position, while 35 abstained.

This fulfilled Zechariah 12:3 - Jerusalem became "a burdensome stone" with "all nations gathered against it"!

The Embassy Move - May 14, 2018

May 14, 2018

U.S. Embassy Opens in Jerusalem

Exactly 70 Years After Israel Declared Independence!

The Prophetic Timing:

  • May 14, 1948: Israel declares independence
  • May 14, 2018: U.S. Embassy opens in Jerusalem
  • Exactly 70 years to the day!
  • No human could have planned this timing

Isaiah 62:1: "For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth."

The Abraham Accords Follow

After Jerusalem Recognition:

  • 2020: Abraham Accords signed
  • UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan normalize with Israel
  • First Arab-Israeli peace deals in 26 years
  • Name invokes Abraham - father of Arabs and Jews

1 Thessalonians 5:3: "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."

The peace deals accelerated after Jerusalem recognition, setting the stage for the false peace before the end!

Why 2017 Matters

The Generation Marker:

1947: Generation begins (Israel reborn)

2017: 70 years complete (Jerusalem recognized)

2027: 80 years - maximum generation

Jerusalem: The Final Sign:

  • Last thing Yahusha said about Jerusalem's desolation
  • Would remain desolate until they say "Blessed is he that comes"
  • Jerusalem's status is the final piece of the puzzle
  • When Jerusalem is fully restored, the end comes

Matthew 23:39: "For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of YHWH."

From 2017 to 2027

The Final Decade:

2017: Jerusalem recognized (70 years)

2018: Embassy moved (confirmation)

2020: Abraham Accords (peace process)

2023-2024: Wars and rumors of wars

2027: Generation limit reached (80 years)

What's Happening Now:

  • Jerusalem increasingly becomes world's focus
  • Peace plans continue despite conflicts
  • Temple Mount tensions escalating
  • All nations taking sides over Jerusalem

Luke 21:28: "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

This Generation Shall Not Pass

Matthew 24:34: "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."

The Generation that Sees:

  • 1947: Israel reborn (fig tree blooms)
  • 1967: Jerusalem recaptured (20 years)
  • 2017: Jerusalem recognized (70 years)
  • 2027: Maximum limit (80 years)

We are the generation that has seen all these things! The same generation that saw Israel reborn will see the return of Yahusha!

The Countdown:

2027

Less than 3 years remain!
