Is Trump’s Jerusalem Declaration Fulfilling of Prophecy? - CBN News Chris Mitchell
Is Trump’s Jerusalem Declaration Fulfilling of Prophecy?
12-19-2017
CBN News Chris Mitchell
President Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel continues to reverberate throughout the Middle East and the world. But some see the decision as one more step towards Jerusalem fulfilling a prophecy.
The United Nations Security Council met on Monday to reverse President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. It’s the latest development in a long history involving the holy city.
In 1980, Israel passed the Jerusalem Law, designating the city as the united, eternal capital of the Jewish State. In protest, most nations moved their embassies from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv.
But later that year a group of Christians founded the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) and firmly planted themselves there.
“They said we need to act and we need to establish an International Christian Embassy Jerusalem in order to show the whole world that no matter what our governments are doing, there are Christians around the world that do believe in God’s covenants and faithful promises to the Jewish people and that was our founding hour,” said ICEJ Executive Director Juergen Buehler.
In 1995, ICEJ Vice President David Parsons helped write legislation known as the Jerusalem Embassy Act, destined for the US Congress.
“We said three things: recognize Jerusalem as the capital; move the Ambassador there immediately and then worry about building a building,” Parsons told CBN News. “But as the bill went through Congress, it got changed to build the building first and now 22 years later and all these delays and waivers it is back to our order."
Both men see Jerusalem as being on a fifty year cycle known in the bible as jubilee -- where every fiftieth year marks a year of liberty and restitution.
One hundred fifty years ago, British archeologist Charles Warren discovered the original City of David. Fifty years later, in 1917, general Edmund Allenby captured the city of Jerusalem ending 400 years of Muslim Ottoman rule. In 1967, Israel re-captured the Old City and Temple Mount for the first time in more than 2000 years. Then came 2017.
“We believed God would do something significant this year in Jerusalem and lo and behold at the end of the year your government Donald Trump, the American government decided to recognize Jerusalem as the capital and also move the embassy here,” Buehler.
“Something new and exciting is happening for Jerusalem itself that propels it, releases it further into its prophetic destiny,” Parsons said.
“Redemptive history is unfolding here in Israel. I do believe this has to do not only with you know embassies being relocated here but you see another level of God’s restoration processes, reaching another level,” Buehler said..
“The greatest outstanding promise that the Bible gives us regarding this nation here is the spiritual restoration of Israel,” he said.
Buehler said all the prophets prophesied the return of the Jewish people to the Land and God also said through them He would give the Jewish people a new heart.
Now, there’s the hope more nations will follow America’s lead and move their embassies.
“What the US and President Trump was doing was, he was in a way shooting the starting shot for the race and I believe there will be many other nations that will follow the United States,” Buehler said.
“We’re hearing word Guatemala may come back, Tanzania, the Philippines, you can start listing off some of these countries that we hope have the courage to follow the lead of the American administration now to return to Jerusalem,” Parsons.
They feel it’s critical for Christians around the world to pray for Jerusalem.
“That the violence that’s been threatened, that God in a year of favor and in a year of Jubilee that He would take care of that, that maybe some dust up but by His sovereign Hand that it would be completely and quickly over. We’ve been praying here in Jerusalem that any fire, any anger would be doused,” Parsons said.
“But also I do believe we need to pray for the Arab world. You see all the unrest that from the Arab world … In a way, you see the sense of delusion and deception you have to say in the Arab streets where they feel that this city has no connection to the Jewish people. I believe we need to pray that God is doing His work among the Arab peoples,” Buehler said.
“We need to keep praying this would be a unified city,” Parsons said.
Through Pain, Suffering, and Loss: Meet Christians Who Survived ISIS - CBN News Paul Strand
Through Pain, Suffering, and Loss: Meet Christians Who Survived ISIS
Dec. 19, 2017 CBN News Paul Strand
Christianity came to Iraq's Nineveh Plain shortly after Christ's death and resurrection. But ISIS did its best to wipe the modern-day descendants of those ancient Christians off the face of the earth. Now a father and son who survived that genocide have come to America to put a face on those who've been terrorized and persecuted.
Imagine you're a pre-teen and ISIS troops are about to invade your town. You're well aware they'll likely kill you and most everyone you know. That's just the situation eight members of the Binoo family faced one night in 2014.
"We were all afraid as we heard that ISIS was heading toward our town," Noeh Binoo recalled. "We were all scared."
Priests Risked All to Warn Everyone
Kristin Wright, director of advocacy for the ministry Open Doors USA told CBN News the Iraqi troops who'd been protecting Noeh's town of Karamles hurriedly retreated before ISIS. But as they fled, they didn't warn the townspeople they were deserting them. Christians there survived only because priests in the town's Chaldean church went door to door and warned everyone in the night to quickly evacuate.
"Of course we were very scared as I grabbed all my family together, try to put them all quickly in the car and head outside the town,' Noeh's father, Haitam Binoo, told CBN News.
As the town's residents raced away in whatever transportation they could find, the priests were the last to leave Karamles as the ISIS invaders arrived.
Gunfire crackled around them and bullets flew as the Christians raced through the night.

The Binoo family then faced three years in a refugee camp just a few dozen miles from where ISIS was on its genocidal rampage, terrorizing, torturing, enslaving and murdering just about anyone who did not believe or submit to their particular radical brand of Islam.
Now with ISIS' recent defeat, the Binoo family has been able to return, but only to find most of their home ransacked and gutted by flames.
"We were very happy as we returned to our hometown," Haitam Binoo said. "But at the same time, it's hard to see our house burned along with other people's."
"We were very happy as we returned to our hometown," Haitam Binoo said. "But at the same time, it's hard to see our house burned along with other people's."
In fact, almost 100 homes in Karamles were burned to the ground.
"I was going back to my home and I saw it all burned," Noeh said. "I felt very sad because it was brand-new; we'd just built it. And it's all burned."
Noeh's Small Gift
"I was going back to my home and I saw it all burned," Noeh said. "I felt very sad because it was brand-new; we'd just built it. And it's all burned."
Noeh's Small Gift
All the toys, games and gadgets of his youth were destroyed or lay charred on the floor of what had been Noeh's room. As he's been touring America, he's given some people a small gift of burned marbles from what had been his prized marble collection. It's a poignant symbol of the lost innocence of youth, stolen away by cruel ISIS fighters.
The Binoo family could have lost their lives. They did lose most of their worldly possessions and spent years in a refugee camp.

"It makes us stronger in our faith," the elder Binoo said.
That's the message father and son have brought during their time in America, which included a visit to the White House, meeting with Vice President Mike Pence.
Met w/ 12-yr old Noeh from Iraq. ISIS destroyed his home & he fled leaving everything behind. When they returned, their town was burnt to the ground. The plight of Noeh & thousands of others like him is why @POTUS ordered us to directly aid the persecuted. Help is on the way!
Wright says American Christians could learn a thing or two from their persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ she's met all over the world.
"I've absolutely had my heart broken at seeing the pain of what Christians have endured," she said. "But I've also been absolutely stunned at the joy that they have in the midst of it and the strength that they have found."

"So I think that there is hope in the midst of despair, even for Christians in the Middle East right now," Wright continued. "And that's why they need our prayers and action more than ever before."
Critics sometimes call out Christians meeting every crisis with prayer, but Wright says prayers really matter.
"Personally when I've been to Iraq. I've met with church leaders who told me they could feel the prayers of Christians around the world," she recalled.

"So prayer is definitely important," Wright added. "But I wouldn't stop there."
She said giving to help people like Noeh through ministries like Open Doors is always appreciated. The costs are high, because the work is immense.
"We're currently rebuilding homes along the Nineveh Plain as Christians are moving back," Wright explained.

Noeh told CBN News he'd like Christians outside of Iraq to keep praying for his family and his people.
"And we as well pray for them to live in peace in their homes," he said.
Noeh is ready to restart life in his hometown upon the Nineveh Plain. It's a region where Christians still speak Aramaic, the same language Jesus spoke.
He's still deciding on his future profession there.
"Either a soccer player or a teacher," Noeh said with a big smile.
