Obama Winds Up Visit with Psalm 122 at Western Wall
21 Tammuz 5768, 24 July 08
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama wound up his two-day visit to Israel Thursday morning with a pre-dawn visit to the Western Wall (Kotel), where he and his wife quietly read Psalm 122.
The Psalm is a prayer for peace for the city, where the Temple Mount site behind the Western Wall is the holiest place for Jews around the world. Sen. Obama did not speak with reporters about his recent retraction of a statement that Jerusalem is the undivided capital of Israel.
After having made the pronouncement at an American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) meeting, furious Arab criticism forced him to explain that he actually meant that Jerusalem should not be divided by barbed wire, as it was during the Jordanian occupation of eastern Jerusalem between 1948 and 1967.
He and his wife spent about 10 minutes at the Kotel, where he wore a white skullcap (kippa) and was escorted by the Western Wall’ s Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovich.
He silently read the Psalm, which states:
“A Song of Ascents of David.
I rejoiced when they said unto me: ‘Let us go unto the house of HaShem. Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem; Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together; Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of H aShem,
as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of HaShem.
“For there were set thrones for judgment, the
thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
“For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say: ‘Peace be within thee.'”
After completing the Psalm, he observed the widespread tradition of putting a small note between the rocks of the Western Wall but did not reveal what he wrote.
As he left, many people tried to shake his hand, and one voice cried out, “Jerusalem is not for sale.”
End Arutz Sheva Excerpt
I believe Israel will flee into the Negev wilderness at some point in time between 2010 and 2015, where she will remain for 1260 days, having experienced Godâ
€™s protective grace during that period by a UN truce. Near the end of the 1260 days, the battle of Armageddon and the Second Advent will occur, and Israel will roar north and east out of the Negev to claim God’s huge land grant to Abraham in Genesis 15:18. Then, in Christ’s Millennial Reign, all nations will go up to the house of the Lord in the city of Jerusalem.
Psalm 122:1 – A Song of degrees of David.
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
Once again, after Israel is driven into the Negev, those that are left of the sword, will find grace in the wilderness after 1260 days, and be returned to Israel for a thousand years
of rest.
Jeremiah 30:22 to 31:2 – And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. [23] Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. [24] The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it. [1] At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. [2] Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Micah 5:4-7 – And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. [5] And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
[6] And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
[7] And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. (See Archive Whole Numbered Prophecy Updates 62 to 69)
Micah 4:1-3 – But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
[2] And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. [3] And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Psalm 122:6 – Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
