On December 6, 2017, the United States was the first country to recognize
Jerusalem as Israel's capital. On May 14, 2018, the embassy will move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem which corresponds with the 70th anniversary of the State of Israel and 51st anniversary of Jerusalem united under Israeli control. A permanent embassy will be built later.
I have determined that it is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital. It was seventy years ago that the United States, under President Truman, recognized the State of Israel. Ever since then, Israel has made its capital in the city of Jerusalem - the capital the Jewish people established in ancient times.
---- US President Donald Trump
David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David [Jerusalem] with gladness (
2 Samuel 6:12).
Through the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, God used Israel to bless all the nations by writing His Word, sending Jesus the Messiah and giving salvation to both Jews and Gentiles. Of all the nations, Israel is the least likely to conquer the world. At the end of the
Tribulation after their last minute conversion, Israel will be the only nation standing after Jesus Christ returns at His
Second Coming.
I [God] will take you [Israel] from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you. And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God (
Ezekiel 36:24, 26, 28).
