Vatican to Control Jerusalem’s Holy Sites?

According to a quietly revealed U.S. plan, the Vatican and an international coalition would control some of Jerusalem’s most holy sites (WorldNetDaily, December 15, 2013). “The exact composition of the international mandate is up for discussion… but [U.S. Secretary of State] Kerry’s plan recommended a coalition that includes the Vatican, together with a group of Muslim countries such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia” (ibid.). The plan, favored by a number of high-ranking Israeli officials, would also designate the Old City of Jerusalem as an international zone (Israel National News, December 15, 2013).

For decades, the Work of God has understood biblical prophecies that show the Temple Mount will one day be controlled by a political-religious power that will allow Jews to begin sacrifices again (Daniel 9:27; 12:11). Bible prophecies reveal that a coalition of nations will make a short-lived peace agreement over Jerusalem. This coalition will contain Arab and European nations (see Daniel 11; Psalm 83:5-8; Ezekiel 23:22-23). Events developing in Jerusalem could lead to the fulfillment of these ancient prophecies.
