Maybe?

“Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.” (Jer 1:14-15 AV)

Could we be seeing a precursor to a fulfilment of prophecy happening right before our eyes?  The President of the United States will be, or has already, recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel with plans to move his embassy there.  What if other nations follow?  Would this be a fulfillment of the passage above?  If so, how close are we to the return of the LORD?  Perhaps in our lifetime?

When I was younger, prophecy held no interest to me.  I saw way too much arbitrary interpretation and application of it and enough arguments between prophecy buffs to dissuade me from taking it seriously.  However, there is crown promised to those who have a passion for the return of the LORD to His kingdom.  “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2Ti 4:8 AV)

Now, there have been many speculations that have definitely not been a fulfilment of prophecy.  The most notable was the EU as the ten-nation confederation.  They are way beyond ten.  There was the RCC being the one world religion.  Yet, they are not the largest religious organization in the world and Ishmael’s descendants will never convert.  So, could the above verses be a prophecy of the recognizing of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel?  Maybe not.  But just perhaps maybe it is!
