No,your views are not Biblically based,Im sorry,you are wrong. And MOTC did not say you were a Nazi or compare you to Hitler,he said Hitler believed the same philosophy. So I neither compared you to Nazis nor Hitler either. But I do believe the replacement theology,that the church takes the place of the Jews in the NT had much to do with the Holocaust and how "Christian" Germany could allow it to happen under their noses and looked the other way.

At the same time, as important and historical as Trump's decision is, it is also not the first time Jerusalem was declared Israel's capital in the modern era. It's the second major occurrence with US ties. So while Jesus's return is ever closer, this also isn't exactly a completely new development. It's more like a correction after a period of disdain and cowardice. So, yes, Jesus' return is imminent. But very much more so than last month? I don't know... No one does, really. I try to walk a fine line between expectancy and focusing on the present.
This is my last reply to this argument. I intend to produce a detailed thread on the subject of Babylon and Jerusalem/Israel if only to prove that my view comes from the Bible and not from Mein Kamph . It will take me a while to collect the relevant passages and texts but I hope to have it on site this month.

I think you are misunderstanding. Trump isn't declaring anything,he is recognizing Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel,which it has been for some 3,000 yrs. But you are right Israel is a sovereign nation and has a right to declare a capitol and have it recognized by the world. Trump is keeping a promise made in 1995 by the US.I'd say its about it was made good on.

Palestinians are simply Arabs and they were given a chance at having land in the region when Israel was formed,they refused it because they did not want Jews on the land,period. The league of nations granted the land to Israel and by international law the land belongs to them.They are a sovereign country and have a right to have a capitol. It has nothing to do with the Palestinians. And because the US is a superpower and promised to move the embassy in 95 it is our business.The promise ought to be kept,we'd expect no less if it was our country.
Just trying to look at things objectively here. The way I understand it both sides feel like they have a divine right to this disputed territory. So when the US sides with Israel it's kind of like a gym teacher saying
" I know you both have a right to use the basketball court but I'm going to let these guys use it because I like them better" understandably the other side feels jilted.
I hope they can find a peaceful solution

Yes Dude,but the problem is its not like your example at all. Its like the school was being built and even though the Arabs were given a right to use part of the basketball court they said "nah,we hate those guys,we want all the court and the school."So they walked away. Israel was given use of the court and the Arabs come back and say "hey,we want the court back,and we want you outta here,and you have no right to name the school". Thats more the truth of the story.Kind of hard to use basketball as an example.The pity is Christians don't know the truth,and many don't want to know because of their dislike of Jewish people. Not speaking of you,just in general.
