Israeli Police arrested members of a group of Jewish Israelis who pretended to be Muslims in order to “infiltrate” onto the Temple Mount and pray.
Jews are forbidden by Israel Police regulations from praying or bringing religious items on the Temple Mount.
While the Israeli High Court of Justice has ruled that Jews have the right to pray at the Temple Mount site, it has also ruled that the right is superseded by the potential risk to national security it poses.
This group of Jews learned Arabic and Muslim traditions and dressed in Muslim religious attire in order to enter the Temple Mount freely, where they then made Jewish pray on the Temple Mount.
The Israeli Public Security Minister and Shin Bet officials said that they “are concerned about an ‘extreme scenario,’ in which a large group of Jews will conduct a coordinated attempt to enter the Temple Mount in order to hold open and full prayer which will lead to a violent flare-up at the site.”
The members of the group who were arrested will be brought to the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court for a hearing to extend their arrest where police intend to place charges of intent to harm the feelings of a person or to exaggerate his religion, meaning they could face up to three years in prison.
In October, the Jerusalem Magistrates Court ruled that quiet prayer was allowed on the Temple Mount, although a few days later the Jerusalem District Court accepted an appeal by Israel Police against the ruling, stating that any “religious/ritual activities having external, visible characteristics” were forbidden on the Temple Mount.
But the judge refused to issue a decision concerning the exact definition of “religious/ritual activities having external, visible characteristics” nor whether the definition has room for any flexibility.
But quiet Jewish prayer at the Temple Mount site has seemingly been unofficially allowed since 2019, when police stopped halting Jewish prayer as long as it was quiet and in an isolated area of the Temple Mount.
The Biblical prophecies (Zechariah 14, Matthew 24, Luke 21, Revelation 11) foretell that Jerusalem and a Jewish Temple will become the focus of the world in the Last Days signaling we are nearing the end of this age and the coming of Jesus Christ.
These events and conditions happening now are warning signs pointing to the nearing fulfillment of the Last Days prophecies at the end of this age revealing it’s time to prepare now for the nearing appearance of Jesus Christ for His Church by being born again spiritually into the Kingdom of God as Jesus said we must (John 3) and His Apostles who were authorized (Matthew 16:19) described how (Acts 2).
