A PROPHETIC SIGN - TEMPLE MOUNT WALL COLLAPSES!
During the past few years we have often quoted Is. 30:12-14 as a
prophetic word concerning the fall of Islam,
"Therefore, this is what the Holy One of Israel says: 'Because you have
rejected this message, relied on oppression and depended on deceit, this
sin w ill become for you like a high wall, cracked and bulging, that
collapses suddenly, in an instant. It will break in pieces like pottery,
shattered so mercilessly that among its pieces not a fragment will be
found for taking coals from a hearth or scooping water out of a
cistern.' "
Here is a quote from Arutz Sheva Israel National News, Thursday,
September 25, 2003,
"One side of a wall in the Temple Mount compound - completely visible to
worshippers at the Western Wall - collapsed on Tuesday, uncovering an
area of some 40 square meters of dirt and fill. The wall belongs to the
Islamic Museum on the Temple Mount, a building to the right and above
the worshipers at the Western Wall, identified by a small gray dome.
"Archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar, a member of the Committee to Prevent the
Destruction of Temple Mount Antiquities, said that the collapse is
connected with the illegal construction works being carried out on the
Temple Mount by the Moslem Waqf." (End of quote)
On the Internet are posted five photos where you can see:

This week we received an e-mail from a Messianic Jewish Evangelist
couple in the United States named Scott and Dalit Holtz. These friends
have a special anointing from the Holy Spirit to blow the shofar and
have several times seen remarkable things take place as a result. Here
is the e-mail:
"Shalom Friends,
"You may have heard of the news last week that a section of the Temple
Mount Wall collapsed.... Well, here is the rest of the story behind
it!!!
"We have just learned that an unsaved Israeli archeologists/government
official publicly played our "ARISE" CD at the Western Wall over the
loud speakers attached to his vehicle last week! (He was extremely
excited after listening to this CD after Dalit gave it to him in
Jerusalem).
"He told us that the sound of the shofar's symphony (track #6) echoed so
loud throughout the Western Wall complex and all around the Temple Mount
area... with many people running up and thronging his vehicle anxiously
wanting to know what is this powerful sound!? He explained to them that
this CD is from a Jewish man in the USA but that his spirit is here
today sounding the shofar for us before the feast of trumpets begins in
a few days..? and then suddenly the next day a huge section of the
Temple Mount Wall collapsed that is part of the Muslim mosque next to
the Western Wall!
"Glory to God! The Holy Spirit has been telling me for some time now to
prophesy that the wall of Islam is coming down!!! What a powerful
confirmation!!!" (End quote)
Knowing this couple's track record blowing the shofar, we do not believe
that this was coincidental. We are living in very prophetic days! The
wall of Islam is coming down and God uses intercessors to bring about
His will through prayer, fasting and prophetic actions.
We ask you to join in the special Esther Fast on the Day of Atonement,
this Sunday, October 5, at sundown to sundown on Monday, October 6. If
you cannot use this time for a consecrated fast before the Lord without
food or drink, you can also use the previous day from Saturday evening
to Sunday evening or part of the day on Sunday. (Yom Kippur actually
begins in Israel on Sunday, October 5 around 10 AM, EST in the US)
It was on the Day of Atonement that the High Priest went into the Holy
of Holies with the blood of a Lamb to bring atonement for the people.
This was also the day when the Year of Jubilee was announced with the
sounding of shofar blasts. We believe that this coming year will be very
significant.
During this Esther Fast on the Day of Atonement, October 5 and 6, in
intercessory prayer for the Middle East, let us with confidence enter
the Holy of Holies by the blood of Jesus laying hold of the Throne of
Grace for God's will to be done!
** LET US PROCLAIM THE YEAR OF JUBILEE AND PRAY FOR THE ATONING BLOOD OF YESHUA TO BRING PEACE TO JEWS AND ARABS DURING THIS COMING YEAR!
Jesus is the only Prince of Peace who has the answer to the situation in the Middle East.
** LET US DECLARE THAT THE WALL OF ISLAM IS COMING DOWN OPENING UP THIS MAJOR HARVEST FIELD FOR THE GOSPEL IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY THIS COMING YEAR!
** LET US PRAY FOR AN ESTHER DELIVERANCE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE FROM THE CONSPIRACIES OF DESTRUCTION BY ISLAM ACCORDING TO PSALM 83!
Pray that God will dethrone the wicked Haman and exalt Mordecai the Jew!
** PRAY THAT GOD WILL GUIDE THE GOVERNMENTS OF ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES ACCORDING TO HIS WILL!
During this absolute Esther fast we will pray for God's will to be done in the Middle East in a special way this coming year! God bless each one of you with anointing and strength as you participate in this important event before the Throne of Grace!
We also encourage all of you to celebrate the Lord's victory in a
special way this year during the Feast of Tabernacles, October 10 ?18.
As we remind you to do this, we want to add a comment from what Paul
writes in Col 2:16-17, as some people like to use this passage in the
wrong way.
"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with
regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality,
however, is found in Christ."
What Paul IS saying here, is that Gentile believers are not called to
live a lifestyle in obedience to the Torah, or the Law of Moses, given
to Israel. Therefore it is wrong to judge anyone for not following the
Biblical, Jewish calendar in a legalistic way. The Law is only a shadow,
pointing to what is real in Jesus. We are called to learn from the Torah
and in the power of the Holy Spirit live in the reality of what it
points to.
The Jews, however, are a prophetic people with a special calling to
prophesy about the Messiah through a Torah led lifestyle. Rom 11:28-29
says, "as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the
patriarchs, for God?s gifts and his call are irrevocable." The Jewish
calling did not end with the coming of Christ.
But here is the main point. What Paul is NOT saying is that we as
Christians should not have anything to do with the Biblical Feasts of
the Lord. Paul's admonition that we should not let anyone judge us in
these issues, is a far cry from saying that it is wrong to celebrate
these feasts, or that we should not have anything to do with them as
some tend to interpret this verse. The Feasts of the Lord are certainly
very helpful as prophetic reminders and instructions of our glorious
hope in Jesus and our connection with the Jewish people and therefore
contain a wealth of blessing for the church.
If done correctly, in liberty and in a non-legalistic way, we believe
that it is honoring to God to celebrate the Feasts of the Lord, as we
have been grafted into the commonwealth of Israel. Certainly it must be
a greater blessing to do this than keeping non-Biblical feasts like
Christmas and Easter. Hope that this helps to answer some questions that
some of you might have received about this.
