The U.K. prime minister has dropped a controversial plan by his predecessor to move the U.K.’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, Downing Street announced. Former Prime Minister Liz Truss kicked off a review into whether Britain should follow the decision of the Donald Trump administration to relocate the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv.
Politico Speaking at a Conservative Friends of Israel hustings held during the summer leadership race, Rishi Sunak said there was a “very strong case” for moving the embassy and formally recognizing Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel, but conceded it might be easier said than done.
Asked Thursday whether the government was still considering the relocation, a No.10 spokeswoman said: “It has been looked at. There are no plans to move the British embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv.” Moving the embassy would be interpreted as Britain recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. (Which it has been for 3,000 years. Israel is the only country on earth that is not entitled to designate it’s own capital)
The former U.S. president moved the U.S. embassy in Israel in 2018 — a move which was condemned by the British government at the time. Only three other UN member states — Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — have embassies in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 6:5-6, wherein King Solomon quotes God as saying, “Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city in all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there, and I chose no man as prince over my people Israel; but I have chosen Jerusalem that my name may be there and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.”
During the campaign, when Sunak was asked about Britain recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, he replied: “To me, it’s indisputably the historic capital… it seems to me that there is a very strong case to it, to recognise what is a historic and practical step.”
He added: “It would be something where we’d be acting in concert with our allies in the region and, in general, one of our closest allies, so it’s something I’d like to do.”

There was a time when I couldn’t stand Russel Brand…but lately, he has converted me to a fan. He is what he is, but he’s definitely no fool…or at least he is fairly intelligent.
GOOOOO RUSSEL!!! GOOOO!

Who are these MERE HUMANS — the BRITISH GOVT, the UN, EU, Muslim nations and other JEW-HATERS to OPPOSE the HOLY ONE, the ONE TRUE GOD, our Glorious, Majestic, Awesome Creator who thousands of years before the MURDER BLOOD CONQUEST Cult of Islam was invented, gave Israel to Jews as an Everlasting Possession.
Winston Churchill – Prime Minister of Great Britain
“Some people like the Jews, and some do not. But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are, beyond any question, the most formidable and the most remarkable race which has appeared in the world.”
John Adams, Second President of the United States
(From a letter to F. A. Van der Kemp [Feb. 16, 1808] Pennsylvania Historical Society)
“I will insist the Hebrews have [contributed] more to civilize men than any other nation.
If I was an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations …
They are the most glorious nation that ever inhabited this Earth.
The Romans and their empire were but a bubble in comparison to the Jews. They have given religion to three-quarters of the globe and have influenced the affairs of mankind more and more happily than any other nation, ancient or modern.”
Linda Rivera says
Thomas Newton, Bishop of Bristol (1704-1782)
“The preservation of the Jews is really one of the most single and illustrious acts of divine Providence…
and what but a supernatural power could have preserved them in such a manner as none other nation upon earth hath been preserved.
Nor is the providence of God less remarkable in the destruction of their enemies, than in their preservation…
We see that the great empires, which in their turn subdued and oppressed the people of God, are all come to ruin…
And if such hath been the fatal end of the enemies and oppressors of the Jews, let it serve as a warning to all those, who at any time or upon any occasion are for raising a clamor and persecution against them.”
Leo Tolstoy, What is the Jew? printed in Jewish World periodical, 1908
“I will insist the Hebrews have [contributed] more to civilize men than any other nation. If I was an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations …
They are the most glorious nation that ever inhabited this Earth.
The Romans and their empire were but a bubble in comparison to the Jews. They have given religion to three-quarters of the globe and have influenced the affairs of mankind more and more happily than any other nation, ancient or modern.”
Mark Twain, Concerning The Jews, Harper’s Magazine, 1899
…If statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race.
It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of.
He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk.
His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers.
He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it.
“The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away;
the Greek and the Roman followed; and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished.
The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind.
All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains.
What is the secret of his immortality?”

It’s interesting that the current State of Israel is only a tiny fraction of the land that God gave Israel.
In fact, when you look at how “greater Israel” is described (in terms of the size of land) it’s actually the full extent of the land God told Abraham He would give to his physical seed (Israelites).
Genesis 15:18-21 KJV
(18) In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
(19) The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
(20) And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
(21) And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

In the end, if there are actually any Israelites in the Israeli government who truly believe God gave them that land, then they have no reason to care what anyone says about it.
If God told me that He was giving me a piece of land, then I really have no reason to give one second of time actually caring what the EU, UN, Biden’s Administration, BLM, etc. have to say or whether or not they are also ok with it.
Jerusalem belongs to God (Matt. 5:34-35; Psa. 48:1-2; Psa. 78:68-70; Psa. 132:13; Psa. 87:2; 2 Chron. 6:6), it’s God’s city and He can give it to whoever He wants (He gave His city to the Israelites) and if the UN, EU, or anyone else doesn’t like it that is their problem.
Linda Rivera says
You say: “If there are actually any Israelites in the Israeli government”
???
There are ABSOLUTELY Israelites-Hebrews-Jews in Israel’s govt!
They are God’s People who God has miraculously preserved for thousands of years. And it is to Jews that our Awesome, Wonderful, Precious Creator, Almighty God has given His precious promises to.
God keeps ALL His promises!
FaithfulServantsOfChristKJV says
I was saying if there are any racial Israelites who truly believe God gave them the land (somebody can be a follower of Judaism as a religion but not be racially an Israelite. When I say “Jewish” in a positive context I’m referring to racial Israel, not followers of the religion of Judaism).
I wasn’t implying there were no Israelites in the Israeli government, I was referring to racial Israelites who truly believe God gave them the land.

It’s interesting, if you ever study false religions in America, you’ll find there are almost always 2 areas of doctrine that start them down the wrong path:
1. Setting a date for Christ’s return (this seems to be a really fast way to start a false religion, like JWs, SDAs, etc.)
2. A confounded view as to the identity of Israel (many false religions stem from attempting to spiritualize Israel. Steven Anderson’s New IFB or the hyper-Calvinist Westboro cult do this).
Those are the 2 main areas in which you’ll find many false religions are spawned from.
