Covenant With Many - Peace of Jerusalem

U.N. overwhelmingly condemns U.S. recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital - UPI.com
UPI reports: "The United Nations General Assembly on Thursday decisively approved a resolution condemning President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. During an emergency meeting, the full U.N. membership approved the resolution 128-9 that declares Trump's recognition of Jerusalem 'null and void.' Thirty-five nations abstained. [...] Egypt drafted the resolution, which affirms the U.N. decision that calls for Jerusalem's status to be decided through negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. It was made in 1967 when Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan. The United Nations doesn't recognize the annexation by Israel. Most nations recognize Tel Aviv as the capital and maintain embassies there, including the United States. Trump wants the embassy to be moved eventually."

Comment: What an extraordinary thing in the history of nations. Today 128 nations took a stand against Israel and against Jerusalem.  They have never read Zechariah 14 and do not realize the depth of their folly. They do not realize that Jerusalem will someday be the capital not just of Israel but of the entire planet.
