JERUSALEM
DIVIDED (PART 1)
CONSIDER:
Since 1970, the United Nations has wanted Israel to divide Jerusalem,
giving East Jerusalem (including the Temple Mount) to the Palestinians.
An unfulfilled prophecy (written in 2,400 years ago) predicts that a
multinational force will divide the city of Jerusalem. Is this merely a
coincidence?
ZECHARIAH
14:1-2
1 Behold, the day of
the LORD cometh, and thy
spoil shall be divided in the
midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
A comparison
of this prophecy to recent times is uncanny:
º Zechariah
wrote that the city of Jerusalem will become a “spoil” for the Jews. We
read—“...thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will
gather all nations against Jerusalem…”
According to Zechariah,
Jerusalem would be a “spoil” of the Jews when it is divided. A “spoil”
is something taken in the aftermath of a war. This precisely matches
recent history. The Jews did not possess the entire city of Jerusalem
for almost 2,000 years until 1967—when they took the city as a spoil of
the Six Day War.
º A multinational army will divide
Jerusalem. Zechariah wrote—“...thy spoil shall be divided in the midst
of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem...”
Jerusalem was never a divided city until the twentieth century, after Israel declared its independence in 1947. After this, Jordan possessed East Jerusalem, and the Israelis possessed West Jerusalem. After the Six Day War of 1967 however, the Israelis reclaimed the entire city for the first time in almost 2,000 years. After this recent historic event, it has been the position of the United Nations for a re-division of the city. East Jerusalem would be the capital of a Palestinian state, but Jews refuse to give up any part of their holy city.
Consider the language of Zechariah's prophecy and compare it to this article from the Jerusalem Post:
“The city can, of course, be
divided again. Presumably, this is what
the Palestinians hope will eventually happen, giving them control of
the city that was once under Jordanian occupation between 1948 and
1967. But such a solution would be unacceptable to a vast majority of
Israelis.” Negotiations over Jerusalem., Jerusalem Post, 12/08/1995
