ReplyDelete“ US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has published a video of his visit to Israel on his Twitter page, which omits Muslim shrines in Jerusalem but includes a model of the Third Temple there..... Christians like Pompeo think Jews must rebuild Solomon's temple before Jesus can return and get the apocalypse rolling. “
