Need to reconcile current thought process about the so-called importance of Jerusalem.
JOhn 4:21:24, "21 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;
22 ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;
23 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;
24 God [is] a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'" (YLT)
God used the Romans to destroy that temple in Jerusalem almost 2,000 years ago b/c He no longer needed it. It became obsolete when Christ became the last sacrifice God would ever see or need for propitiation of our sins.
So, why do so many ppl believe He wants another temple in a 3rd city of Jerusalem. B/c of the Rothschilds. They wanted Jerusalem rebuilt. It was part of the agreement with FDR and the Brits to bring the US into WWII, that if successful the King of England would support the Roths' plan for Greater Israel and for their control of ME resources from Jerusalem.
But, the Roths needed ww support, political backing, & they wanted to use US money & arms for their efforts. So, they had to make US Christians believe a lie… that Christ was going to return to rule the world from a nation state and a land based Jerusalem.
Reconcile this political psyop known as Zionism with John 4:4… if you can.
God does not need the "state" Israel. The one man created in 1948 was a Rothschild conspiracy. Hoodwinked millions of Christians. And, it has dominated American politics for a century.
