THE GROUND ZERO OF PROPHECY

Sunday, June 1, 2025

Shalom, to you my Friend and Co-Minister in the Great Commission...
   The geographical center of end-time prophecy is Israel. And so in the last century, we have witnessed the return of the Jewish people to Israel and the turning of the world's focus to that long-abandoned land. But the center of Israel and the center of end-time prophecy is Jerusalem. Jerusalem is Israel's holy city, its capital, and the place to which Messiah will return. So in 1967, in June, this very month, the focus sharpened on the city of Jerusalem as God restored Israel to its holy city.
   But the ultimate geographic center of Jerusalem is the Temple Mount - and thus the ultimate center of end-time prophecy. The Temple Mount is the ground on which the Temple of God will be rebuilt. It is the holy ground that the Antichrist will desecrate. And it is the site from which Messiah will reign on earth. Therefore, we would expect that the Temple Mount would become the most contested and fought over piece of real estate on planet earth - and so it has. Israel still allows the Muslim authority to run it and have daily control. Much of the Muslim world still vows to completely take it over from Israel (along with Jerusalem). And Jewish people are still largely prevented from praying or observing the commands of God on their holiest site.
   In The Dragon's Prophecy, I share a mystery concerning the Mount: that behind the invasion of Hamas on October 7 was not Gaza or Palestinian nationalism - it was the Temple Mount. Even the code name given by Hamas for the attack referred to the Temple Mount. It turns out that it was an event that took place on that Mount earlier that year that led to the Gaza invasion of Israel. So behind October 7, was actually the ground zero of end-time prophecy, the holy Temple Mount of God.
   It doesn't make sense in the natural. But we're not dealing in the natural. In the supernatural it all makes sense. The enemy knows that if the Jewish people return to that mountain, God's purposes, God's prophecies, God's kingdom will be fulfilled. So he will do everything in his power to stop it. October 7 was exactly that - the enemy seeking to stop the prophetic purposes of God.
   And yet in recent times, something unprecedented has happened - Jewish people have again been praying to God on their sacred mount. Even this past Feast of Trumpets, the trumpets of God sounded on that mountain. Keep your eyes on the mountain. Even though it looks impossible, what God foretold will come to pass. And this month, pray for the peace of Jerusalem, God promises those who do, will prosper! And may God greatly bless you as you do!

Your brother and co-laborer
in His love and service,


Jonathan
