Clashes on Temple Mount

This morning, security forces sent away six adults and three youth from the compound for failing to uphold the rules of visitation, which prohibit Jewish prayer. A number of small confrontations came about between Muslims and Jewish visitors causing the police to get involved. Already the number of security forces has been bolstered for the Passover holiday, and we ask that you pray that there will be no more confrontations at the Temple Mount. Problems between the Jewish community that seek to pray at their holy site and the Muslim community that forbids it, was one of the initial causes for the wave of terror that began back in September. We pray for God’s hand of protection and divine intervention at this sacred and significant site. There is clearly a battle in the physical and the spiritual over this location and we pray for the light of Messiah to shine even brighter here.
