MONDAY UPDATE:

Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the following in his New Year’s message: “The spring of human prosperity is the establishment of praying for one God and justice in the world, which will be built by the Lord of the Age [the Shi’ite 12th Imam, the Mahdi]….The age is the age of the appearance [of Imam Mahdi]. The mystery of persistence, happiness and the growing awareness of the Iranian nation is in faith and hope for the rule of the Imam in the world….The government is determined to assert its presence in managing the world wisely and powerfully in order to restore the Iranian nation’s honorable position….All of you should be ready, as tomorrow belongs to us.” 

ORIGINAL POST: As the U.S. and U.N. continues trying to divide Jerusalem and Israel, consider Joel 3:1-2, “For behold, in those days and at that time…I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter in judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance Israel [because] they have divided up My land.”

Please keep the Israeli Prime Minister and his team in your prayers as they fly to Washington. Please pray that the Lord would give them safety and wisdom for the AIPAC speech tomorrow night and in their meetings with the President, VP, Secretary of State and Congressional leaders. Please particularly pray that the Lord would give the PM the courage to resist the administration’s intense pressure to divide Jerusalem and further divide the Holy Land.
