President Trump's decision to
President Trump's decision to accept Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is one that brings the USA into line with the Biblical teaching on Jerusalem. To bring a nation into line with the decree of God will only result in blessing....no matter what arguments and reasonings are raised against it.. The fact of the matter is that God has said in Genesis 12:3...( speaking of Israel) "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Any nation that blesses Israel will be blessed. Just stand back and watch it be played out. Jerusalem is mentioned over 800 times in the Bible and is referred to as the 'City of the Great King' and even the dwelling place of God. Jerusalem has always been recognized as this special city throughout Jewish and Christian history.This is why Christian people all over the world welcome the USA decision and give thanks to God for the countries that have followed suit. To bless Israel is the be blessed. Tonga, this is a challenge for you as a Nation. Stand up, bless Israel, honour God's holy city and be blessed in return. Malo Sisu!!
