Two hundred Republicans in Congress sent a letter on Monday to President Joe Biden asking him to keep the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem closed, instead of reopening it to engage with Palestinians.
”Your administration would create a misguided situation in which the U.S. would essentially have two separate diplomatic missions in Israel’s capital, including the U.S. Embassy to Israel along with the consulate general for outreach to the Palestinians whose government is based in Ramallah,” the letter said.
”Reopening the U.S. consulate general in Jerusalem would also reward and turn a blind eye to the Palestinian Authority engaging in the real obstacles to peace, such as refusing to recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish State.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Oct. 13 that the Biden administration was moving forward with plans to reopen the shuttered consulate, which was closed in 2018 by then-President Donald Trump after he opened a new embassy in Israel’s capital city, Reuters reported at the time.
”We’ll be moving forward with the process of opening a consulate as part of deepening of those ties with the Palestinians,” Blinken said in the Reuters story.
On Oct. 24, an Israeli official told Reuters that the move might be shelved by Biden’s administration for the time being.
“I believe that I have good reason to think this will not happen,” Deputy Foreign Minister Idan Roll told Israel’s Ynet TV on Oct. 24. “The Americans understand the political complexity. We have very good relations. … We don’t believe in surprising them. I don’t think they will try to surprise us.” . . .
The letter from the GOP lawmakers said that Biden should respect Israel’s opposition to reopening the consulate, which they feel would ”turn a blind eye” to Palestinian terrorist activities.
”We urge you to respect our close ally Israel’s opposition to the reopening of the U.S. consulate general in Jerusalem, especially since Israel’s cooperation is essential,” the letter said.

What do you think of President Biden’s plan to re-open a consulate in Jerusalem to “deepen ties” with Palestine?

Our God, our Father in heaven. Protect those who stand by Israel and make no room for those who are attempting to destroy the country and its people. Father, you said if we ” ask anything in the name of Jesus Christ”, you will hear our prayers. Dear Lord, in the name of Christ, I ask that you be with the decision of the US President and those who fear the negative of this opening. Father Israel is you land, and your people, help those who do not understand, open their eyes and put a hunger in their heart for you. In Christ Jesus name, Amen.
I’m not defending Biden in anyway, shape or form but he knows less about the Palestinians then I do. If we’re honest, Biden barely can make a cup of tea anymore. This move from the administration has Obama, Rice, the squad, etc. written all over it. I pray Lord for that to be leaked and brought forth…and decree that nothing and no one will prevent that truth from seeing the light of day. Amen.
we have no right to interfere with Israel. The Bible states I will bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel. Everytime we force Israel into something the US has to pay the consequences. Jesus I repent for these things our leaders are trying to do to Israel. I ask that You put the fear of God in our leaders in Jesus Name Amen.
Lord God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and Jesus Christ, Lord of All, we pray that Joseph Biden and all of his minions (obsequious followers, sycophants, servile officials and underlings) will somehow turn away from aligning in any way with the Palestinian Authority or any of its appendages.
Lord, our eyes are on you. We pray for a move of Your Holy Spirit in these times to bring repentance to us as a nation before it is too late. Move, Lord, we pray, to bring repentance and salvation to all who will come to You around the world while there is still time. We long for your return, Lord Jesus, but we do not want to leave any behind who are inclined to receive your mercy. Amen.
The history of America’s failed policies in dealing with the Palestinian Authority (formerly PLO) is not only failure after failure, but has for decades resulted in Divine Judgment upon our nation. The 2nd essay with proof is very concerning, especially since our country has other damning policies that engender the Ire of GOD… (consider Abortion since 1973).
Review these to see the antisemiticism and doomed to failure policies that imperil the nation of Israel and also America… again.

WE DO SERVE a MIGHTY GOD!!
🔥❤
It is hard not to feel overwhelmed & fearful with all that is occurring all around us.
Remember…. YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THE BATTLE!!
Others are in the fight too.
So is Our GOD!
FAITH /fear
God is near!
He will never leave us unaided
His Promises are true & never faded.
True faith he requires
Trust in Him, let God fight life’s fires 🔥 🙏 🙌 ❤
This morning I was doing a devotional with my daughter on 1Peter1:6-9 FAITH to the end.
Those who lack a true faith or never really had one, are caving to lies, deceptions, and man made fear. Many church leaders and individuals are falling away, as the Bible tells will happen.
We will NOT BE SUCH A VICTIM OF THE WORLD!
I was showing her how in 2020-2021 our faith is of utmost vital importance, and highly desired for God….no matter what we are going thru.
How we are in the end days and the refining is occurring of the weak and strong. We are not guaranteed freedom from persecution or evil. We are guaranteed that God will help sustain and carry us thru….as long as we retain a faith & trust in HIM …. all the way to the end, to Jesus’s return. I asked her to think of those in the Bible where a strong faith was displayed over weakness and impossible odds….?
She mentioned David and Goliath. YES!!
David a young shepherd boy, a untrained soldier.
He arrived upon a scene where many were quaking in fear and seeing the impossible.
Men who were trained in battle facing a giant and his forces around him. None wanted to move against them.
They grew up learning of the same God as David, but it seems their faith & trust in Him was weak.
David went to battle against Goliath & his army with no external battle gear ….. he used his internal gear FAITH & TRUST!
No one believed or trusted that David could defeat the Enemy …. they DID NOT FULLY TRUST IN THE SAME GOD as David.
They did not have a faith absent of man’s FEAR.
When things seem impossible and look the bleakest …. it is then we must rise up and grab a firm hold of God’s outstretched hand and ASK – TRUST – WAIT – WATCH as He moves.
Let the ALMIGHTY work thru us.
Faith /fear
Pray 🙏 🙏 🙏
1 Samuel 17:45–47
✝️
David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.”
Dear Lord, I pray for the peace of Israel and the utter most parts of the world. Please preserve and bless the special relationship between the U.S. and Israel. Lord, I really pray that the plan will NOT be to re-open a consulate in Jerusalem and “deepen ties” with Palestine. In Jesus Name and Authority, Amen.
Father, I lift up Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Father, he is blinded. Disturb him with dreams. Change his heart. Direct his thinking. Present him with Jesus. Turn his head in Your direction. Give his wife disturbing dreams to share with him. Let him know he is playing with fire. Save his soul. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Thank you Jesus for those brave, wise souls in Congress who wrote that letter to stand by Israel and urge this administration to join in this reasonable choice. Bind those spirits of wickedness that blind people in our country to good, wise choices for life Lord! In Jesus name. Every choice is for life or death Lord and by Your mercy and grace we ask you to help this administration to repent of its nose dive toward death, to repent and start choosing life. For Your glory, honor and pleasure….
To deepen ties with Palestine is to align one’s nation with terrorist-minded people who are bent on destroying Israel. Palestinian hatred against Israel has been imbedded in the Palestinians from the time their children are born. Israel has graciously allowed the Palestinian people to live on their land unbothered. . BUT, everywhere there is a Palestinian population in Israel, it is NOT the other way around – Jewish people are NOT welcome in Bethlehem or Ramallah. So, to place a consulate in Jerusalem for these radically minded people is unfair, dangerous, contentious, and a highly un-American action that will not bode well for both Israel AND America. Israel is the apple of God’s eye. We must pray that our current Executive Branch of government does not go through with this foolish and dangerous action and also let our voice be heard to our lawmakers to continue to support the state of Israel.
