Pope Benedict To Demand Control of Holy Land Sites


Gethsemene on the Mount of Olives

Pope Benedict has an agenda next week when he visits the Holy Land of Israel that involves laying claim to five holy sites. Full story here.

Meanwhile, President Shimon Peres wants to give up Israeli sovereignty over key Christian holy sites to the Vatican, according to an Army Radio report Monday, a proposition which is reportedly opposed by Interior Minister Eli Yishai.

Relinquishing sovereignty over the sites would mean that they legally belong to Vatican City, and that any Israeli request to pave roads, or lay water, sewerage or electrical infrastructure would have to be approved by the Vatican. More here

Isn't it interesting, however hypocritical that the Vatican, the EU, and Middle Eastern muslim countries and Russia all want a piece of the Holy Land of Israel but ignore the words that Jesus said
"My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." John 18:36";

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Galatians 3:16

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:29
