This is interesting - and about 1 year too late according to the 2017 timeline:
Zechariah 12:2-3
- 2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the
surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and
Jerusalem. 3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a
very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will
surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered
against it.
Joel 3:1-2 - 3 “For
behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives
of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them
down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with
them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have
scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.
The government is planning to cede several sites in ancient
Jerusalem to Muslim and Christian ownership, and Israel’s rabbis remain
silent, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel has accused. “There is a terrible plan,
called the ‘holy basin,’ to split Jerusalem between Christians, Muslims
and Jews,” Rabbi Ariel said, speaking to Arutz Sheva. Rabbi Ariel, who
heads the Temple Institute, continued, “The Christians will get the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Mount Zion, the Muslims will get the
Temple Mount, and we Jews will need to visit the Kotel (Western Wall)
under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority.” The Palestinian
Authority (PA) denies the Jewish connection to the Western Wall, and PA
TV has labeled Jewish worship at the holy site “sin and filth.” Even if
Jewish worship at the Kotel were to continue freely, the loss of access
to the Temple Mount would be highly significant. The Temple Mount is the
holiest site on earth according to Judaism, and is the place where the
First Temple and Second Temple once stood. The plan to split Jerusalem’s
holy sites between various religions “has existed for some time, and
now they’re going to implement it in stages,” Rabbi Ariel warned,
adding, “During the Pope’s next visit they plan to transfer the Cenacle
on Mount Zion to him, turning it into a pilgrimage site.”
He
criticized Israel’s rabbis, including the Chief Rabbis, for their
silence. “Not long ago they gave the Russian Compound to Russia, now the
Christians are restoring a church – unused until now – on the Mount of
Olives, and thus they slowly sell Jerusalem, and nobody raises their
voice in protest,” he charged. “Where is the Chief Rabbinate? They’re
going to take the heart of Jerusalem and make it a Christian center,” he
continued. “Remember Rabbi Nissim. When the Pope came to visit fifty
years ago, he insisted that if the Pope wanted to meet him he could come
to his office in Jerusalem, he would not go greet him,” Rabbi Ariel
recalled. He accused his fellow rabbis of focusing on “price tag”
vandalism of Arab property rather than the future of Jerusalem. “Three
hundred rabbis spoke out against ‘price tag.’ Is this what you’ve found
to get involved with, is this what pains you? “Instead of meeting with
the Prime Minister to protest the sale of Jerusalem, you’re speaking out
against a handful of youths who burned a rug,” he accused. Arutz Sheva 7
