From Mike Evans, the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team

Almost thirty years ago when I anointed Benjamin Netanyahu with oil and prayed with him, I told him he would be prime minister of Israel twice. My prayer ended with, "the second time will be the gravest days of Israel's history."  The following day, I shared the prophecy with then Prime Minister Menachem Begin and asked him to give Benjamin an appointment in his government; he did later that night.

Those "gravest days" are here. Israel has been brutally attacked by the entire world in the past two days. Tomorrow, the terrorist, Mahmoud Abbas, will appeal to the UN to recognize a Palestinian state while receiving standing ovations from many of its members. He wants East Jerusalem as its official capital.

This entire crisis with Abbas and the Palestinian Authority can be laid at the feet of President Barack Obama. Last year at the UN, he spoke to the General Assembly. In his speech, he appealed to the world to unite so that, "when we come back here next year, we can have an agreement that will lead to a new member of the United Nations--an independent, sovereign state of Palestine, living in peace with Israel." His brutal speech at the White House this year when Prime Minister Netanyahu was his guest called for a freeze in Jewish settlements and a two-state solution with borders based on the 1967 lines.

It is a plan conceived in hell. Don't think for one second that the storm clouds will disappear after Friday.  The delegitimization of Israel is happening before our eyes. You can be assured of one thing: Radical Islam will be emboldened. A wave of suicide bombings of unprecedented proportions will hit the state of Israel. Iran - a screwdriver away from having an atomic weapon - is backing this move to deter the world from holding it accountable. The Gulf Oil States are behind it in order to take the focus off their own corruption. They fear being inundated by the Arab Spring tsunami. 

We must stand with Israel now before it's too late.

I do not believe for a second that all the economic and political turmoil America is going through is coincidental.  America needs Divine intervention that can only come from God's people standing in the gap like Esther.  I am asking every Jerusalem Prayer Team member to stand up to Jew hatred like Corrie ten Boom and her family did in Holland during the Holocaust. 

Pray without ceasing!
