                       Only a cornerstone in Zion for the house of G–d and Israel for the covenant between them
               can and will work. "Therefore thus said the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a
               stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation; he who believes shall not make
               haste." (Isaiah28:16)


                       Through the prophet Zechariah, the G–d of Israel promised before all the nations that He is
               determined to redeem Israel in the end-times, the time in which we are now living, to give Jerusa-
               lem, the land and the Temple Mount back to them and to dwell among them forever and no one will
               take Jerusalem from them again.

                       "Again the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying,  Thus says the Lord of hosts; I
                       was zealous for Zion with great zeal, and I was zealous for her with great fury.  Thus says
                       the Lord: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem
                       shall be called the City of Truth; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts the Holy Moun-
                       tain. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Old men and old women shall again dwell in the streets
                       of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for the fullness of days. And the
                       streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. Thus says the Lord
                       of hosts: If it is marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should
                       it also be marvellous in my eyes? says the Lord of hosts. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Be-
                       hold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will
                       bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people,
                       and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. Thus says the Lord of hosts: Let
                       your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words by the mouth of the proph-
                       ets, who spoke on the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid,
                       saying that the temple might be built. For before these days there was no wage for man,
                       nor any wage for beast; nor was there any peace to him who went out or who came in, be-
                       cause of the adversary; for I set all men everyone against his neighbour. But now I will
                       not be to the remnant of this people as in the former days, says the Lord of hosts. For
                       there shall be the seed of peace; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her
                       produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people
                       to possess all these things. And it shall come to pass, that as you were a curse among the
                       nations, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and you shall be a
                       blessing. Do not fear, but let your hands be strong. For thus says the Lord of hosts: As I
                       intended to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, says the Lord of
                       hosts, and I did not relent; So do I intend in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the
                       house of Judah. Do not fear." (Zechariah 8:1-15)

                       The Pope and Yasser Arafat are trying to prevent G–d from fulfilling His Word. They are
               still deluded, exactly as they were when Israel was in the exile and they stated and believed that
               the G–d of Israel divorced His people, Israel, and forgot them and that they are the new Israel.
               They did not want to accept and believe all the promises of G–d in the Scriptures that His cove-
               nant with Israel is an eternal covenant of love and He does not behave like mankind when they di-
               vorce their beloved wife for another one. He explained so clearly in prophecy that His love to
               Israel and His marriage covenant with His wife as He referred to Israel and His faithfulness to His
               firstborn son, as Israel is called when Moses was sent to Pharaoh to tell him to let the Israelites
