In June 1967, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount were restored to Jewish sovereignty during The Six Day War. Although the significance of this event – alluded to by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke – remains largely unrecognized, it will one day be viewed as pivotal in God;s plan of redemption.
The Significance of Jerusalem Day
The most significant event of the 20th Century will one day be recognized as a turning point in world history. Jerusalem Day marks the establishment of Jewish control over biblical Jerusalem and the Temple Mount that occurred on the 28th of Iyar or June 6, 1967. Jeremiah, Isaiah and Zechariah – among the other biblical prophets – as well as Jesus placed special significance on Jerusalem and its return to Jewish sovereignty.
