Micah 4:1-3 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it. And many nations will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Then He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for strong nations far and wide. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war.

Coalition MKs to US Senate: “Recognize the right of the Jewish people to the Temple Mount”

“This is the place where our Temples stood, which were destroyed by the Babylonian and Roman empires about 2,500 and 1,900 years ago.”

The letter to the members of the Senate reads: “Today, while the sovereign State of Israel guarantees access to holy sites for all religions, the Jewish people are denied full and free access to their holiest site due to heavy international pressure. Official recognition by the world’s leading country and Israel’s great friend – the United States – could ensure historical justice.

“This decision is not just a symbolic gesture but a declaration of truth, a declaration of religious freedom and the restoration of historical justice. The United States has been and will always be a pillar of human rights and the protection of holy sites around the world. Especially after October 7, when Hamas and its allies declared war under the slogan ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ while desecrating the sanctity of the Holy Place, we call for support and promotion of this historic decision as a courageous and clear statement of the United States’ ongoing commitment to truth, justice, and religious freedom for all peoples.”

Deuteronomy 6:7-9 And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Great Britain: Sir Hamid Patel, has been appointed interim chairman of OFSTED (Office for Standards in Education). This is who the Brits have in charge of their education. This is a sea change from The Church of England.

Sir Patel is Mufti. According to Grok AI…

A “Mufti” in the context of Islam refers to a qualified Islamic scholar or jurist who is authorized to issue legal opinions or interpretations (known as fatwas) on matters of Islamic law (Sharia). The term comes from the Arabic word aftā, meaning “to give a legal opinion.” Muftis play a significant role in Muslim communities by providing guidance on religious, social, and legal issues based on their deep knowledge of the Quran, Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad), and Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh).

To become a Mufti, a person typically undergoes extensive education in Islamic studies, mastering areas such as theology, law, and Arabic language. Historically, Muftis have been appointed by governments or religious institutions in some Muslim-majority countries, while in other contexts, they earn their status through recognition by their peers and community for their expertise.
