The Temple mount is not ours, neither the Palestinians, explains former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert.
The former Israeli PM do not think Israel is capable of securing the freedom of religion in Jerusalem.
Speaking in Tel Aviv to a group called the Geneva Initiative, Olmert also said Sunday that he was prepared as prime minister to share Jerusalem’s holy sites with the “Palestinians”.
These sites which include the Western Wall and the Temple Mount.
“It will not be ours nor the Palestinians… (it) will be managed by an international trustee which includes (other) countries,” Olmert said, describing his vision for the area known as the Holy Basin.
“Israel is one of them, the Palestinians are there, the Saudi Arabians, according to my offer, the Jordanians and the Americans. This is a trust fund of five countries.”
This trust is going to ensure the freedom of access to all the holy sites to any Jew, to any Muslim, to any Christian,” he said.

My comment:
It is sad that a Jew can utter such words. That the state of Israel is not the best legal body to secure religious freedom in the capital of Israel.
Ehud Olmert is not only a past Prime Minister of Israel, but also a past Mayor of the city of King David.
When Olmert says that the Temple Mount is not “ours”, he exclude him self from the history of the Jewish people.
The Temple Mount is the very site of the two great Jewish Temples.
Its is really said that a man the Jewish people trusted with their votes, has ended his political life in such a state of mind.
Where has this man’s Jewish pried and self esteem disappeared?
From a Messianic Christians perspective, the prophecy of the coming of the lawless one will surly be fulfilled.
The lawless man will rule from the Temple Mount, setting up his Chair, and claim to the “The Holy Father”, God Him self in person.
There are many political world leaders, and religious people, who pave the way for the last anti-Messiah. Unfortunately, Ehud Olmert is one of them.

Ok, now I’m in the twilight zone. What am I missing?
Since when is Olmert prime minister of Israel. There would be war before they gave up the that site.
“When Olmert says that the Temple Mount is not “ours”, he exclude him self from the history of the Jewish people.”
Zechariah Chapter 14 says: 1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
I get goosebumps just reading this verse: “And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives.”
Jesus is our King Forever!
