June 5,1967 was the third day into the Six Day War at which time Israel captured the Eastern part of Jerusalem from the Palestinians and repatriated the Temple Mount local with the newly formed (1948) State of Israel.
All end-time prophecy revolves around that Temple Mount, that Mount was the location of the First and Second Temples of Israel, that Mount is the location that the antichrist shall set up his false temple, that Mount is where Christ shall set His Millennial Temple, and that Mount shall be the location of God's eternal Heavenly Temple which will descend from above. That location is God's favorite place in the universe, God married that place (spiritually)
Ezek 16:8 (God speaking spiritually of Jerusalem)
8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. (KJV)
So suffice it to say, all end-time prophecy revolves around that location, the location of the Lord's First, Second, Herod's, Millennial, and Heavenly Temple - the Temple Mount, Jerusalem, Israel. Sad to say, that is also where satan (as the antichrist) shall place his false temple:
II Th 2:2-4
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [satan as the impostor 'christ', the antichrist];
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (KJV)
It is that place and that time that Daniel writes of:
Dan 9:27 (speaking of antichrist in the false temple)
27 And he [antichrist] shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease [in the temple where sacrifices and oblations are made], and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (KJV)
So should it be of any great surprise to the believer that the whole Mideast peace processes collapsed over the fate of Jerusalem, specifically the control of the Temple Mount?!? Of course not. Whether the world recognizes it or not, the whole peace for the planet revolves around religion and that plot of land called The Temple Mount Jerusalem. God is very much in control, could the world really think that the fate of itself does not revolve around God's plan?
AD 1967 On May 5th 1967, The Six Day War broke out, and among other land gained by Israel, the east section of Jerusalem was captured. In this section of the Holy City Jerusalem exists the Temple Mount, the Holiest place on earth for Christians and Jews and the third Holiest site for Islam. All end-time Biblical prophecy revolves around this Temple Mount.
On this Temple Mount lays the third holiest Muslim site (the Dome on the Rock). But the Jews believe they must rebuild the Temple (the third Temple) on this location to usher in the Messiah. Christians believe that it is at this location that Jesus Christ shall make His grand appearance at His Second Advent. This area is truly a hotbed of religious conflict.
More precisely stated, on the third day (Jun 8th 1967) of the Six Day War, The Holy Temple Mount (site of the first and second Old Testament Temples of God) and all of the then-separated eastern part of the City of Jerusalem was repatriated with Israel. This has strong prophetical implications.
