The Vatican expressed concern over the status of Jerusalem on Monday as Pope Francis and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas held their first meeting since the United States stirred international anxiety by moving its embassy there.
The number one enemy of the Jews and Israel is not the mythical Palestinian people who are really Jordanians. No, the eternal enemy of Israel is who it has always been, the Roman Catholic Church in general, with the pope in particular.
"And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." Revelation 11:8 (KJV)
In the time of Jacob's trouble, when the Antichrist and the Catholic Church
will finally control Jerusalem, God likens His holy city of Jerusalem to both Sodom and Egypt. That's how depraved and defiled Jerusalem will become in that time. It is then that the pope will reign supreme, albeit briefly, and the Palestinians will finally have control of east and west Jerusalem.
So when Abbas today told Pope Francis, in a meeting about Jerusalem, we are 'counting on you', he knew exactly what he was saying and the pope knew exactly what he meant. Ye are of your father the devil, indeed.
ABBAS, IN FIRST MEETING SINCE J’LEM EMBASSY MOVE, SAYS HE’S ‘COUNTING ON’ POPE
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: The two embraced and kissed on the cheek as the pontiff welcomed Abbas to a library in the Vatican's Apostolic Palace for a private, 20-minute meeting.
"Particular attention was reserved for the status of Jerusalem, underlining the importance of recognizing and preserving its identity and the universal value of the holy City for the three Abrahamic religions," a Vatican statement said, referring to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
U.S. President Donald Trump outraged the Arab world last year when he reversed decades of policy by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and put Washington's embassy there. It was opened in May.
Palestinians, with broad international backing,
want east Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state, while Israel views the whole city its "united and eternal" capital.
The Vatican expressed concern last year at Trump's move, saying the city's "status quo" should be respected. Francis has called for all to honor U.N. resolutions on the city.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said Abbas briefed the pope on "the implications of the U.S. decision."
As Abbas was leaving the library, he told the pope: "We are counting on you." It was not clear what he was referring to.
The Vatican backs a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, with both sides agreeing on the status of Jerusalem as part of the peace process.
The statement said Abbas and the pope also discussed efforts to reactivate the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and hoped for "a renewed commitment on the part of the international community to meet the legitimate aspirations of both peoples."
They also urged an end to "extremism and fundamentalism" in the Middle East, and called for reconciliation among Palestinian factions. Abbas' Fatah party is dominant in the West Bank, while the Islamist group Hamas controls Gaza.
