We are excited to report on this historical and prophetic move of the U.S. Embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. This is an exciting event that is an answer to many prayers and the start of many more prophetic events that will take place. “The Jewish People have been praying and working toward the day that Jerusalem becomes a praise among the nations,” Rabbi Gimpel reported by Breaking Israel News, and he shares a verse from Isaiah ‘I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth.’ Now, we are seeing just the beginning of this prophecy as nations begin moving their embassies from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem,” Rabbi Gimpel said. “This is a step in the prophetic process of redemption…I would encourage those who say that President Trump is not a holy man and therefore can have no place in this Godly process to look to the book of Isaiah and Ezra where the divine plan of restoration was done through a man named Cyrus,” Rabbi Gimpel said. “It would be a tragic mistake to view this historic move as unintentional or a coincidence, coming, as it does, on Israel’s 70th anniversary.”
Pastor John Hagee is the founder and senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas. In 2006 Pastor Hagee founded and is the National Chairman of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), a grass-roots organization which has grown to become the largest Christian pro-Israel group in the United States with over 3.5 million members. He expressed his joy and excitement over this move of the U.S. Embassy. Reported by Breaking Israel News Pastor Hagee gave the benediction at the embassy ceremony. “I was deeply honored to participate in this historic moment. Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel, and I am very proud of my country and my president for recognizing that fact,” said Pastor Hagee. “This moment would not have been possible were it not for President Trump’s courage and the unwavering commitment of CUFI’s 4.1 million members.” Pastor Hagee also shared on Fox News about President Donald Trump. “He will be remembered for thousands of years for his act of courage to treat Israel like we already treat other nations.”
Reportedly over 800 people attended this ceremony from the United States and Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shared his gratitude with President Trump. “What a glorious day. Remember this moment! President Trump, by recognizing history, you have made history. All of us are deeply moved. All of us are deeply grateful… Last December, President Trump became the first world leader to recognize Jerusalem as our capital, and today, the United States of America is opening its embassy right here in Jerusalem,” he said. “Thank you, President Trump, for having the courage to keep your promises!” President Trump addressed the gathering by video saying, “The U.S. will always be a great friend of Israel and a partner in the cause of freedom and peace. We extend a hand in friendship to Israel, the Palestinians and to all of their neighbors. May there be peace. May God bless this embassy. May God bless all who serve here, and may God bless the United States of America.”
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin shared, “Every U.S. President has promised to move the American embassy to Jerusalem. Finally, we have a leader who promised this, and also kept his promise! The Israeli people thanks you for keeping your word, for your courage, for your determination and for your firm, unwavering stance alongside the State of Israel,” he continued. “We hope and expect that other nations will follow your path and your leadership. We will continue to safeguard Jerusalem as a city of peace, as a home to all those of faith, a city of all its residents and citizens, of all religions and communities, who share together one city, which is so greatly loved by everyone.”
We are very encouraged by this answer to prayer of the U.S. embassy moving to Jerusalem. We at VFNKB have prayed for years as have many others around the world for this to take place. And we will continue to pray for and bless Israel and ask you to do the same as well. As Genesis says, “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
