Muslim War for Temple Mount Advances to Next Stage
On Tisha B’Av, Muslim War for Temple Mount Advances to Next Stage: Conquer the Kotel
“In that day I will all but annihilate all the nations that came up against Yerushalayim.” Zechariah 12:9 (The Israel Bible™)

Following the capitulation by the Israeli government over security measures on
the Temple Mount, the Palestinians have embarked on the next stage:
protesting Jewish “raids” on the “Al Buraq Wall”, more commonly known as
the Western Wall or Kotel.
“Last night, thousands of settlers desecrated the Plaza of Al-Buraq Wall, the western wall of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque,” Wafa, the Palestinian news agency, reported on Monday, noting that the raid “coincided” with the “Ninth of Av, or the so-called destruction of the Temple.”
Wafa stated
that the raid took the form of organized ceremonies and prayers, and
the settlers’ “improper behavior” was protected by “the occupation
forces.”
The
“raid” Wafa reported was actually the annual arrival of thousands of
Jews at the Western Wall on the Ninth of Av, a day of fasting and
mourning commemorating the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. Many
worshipers spend the entire night at the Kotel, reciting Lamentations
and traditional elegies.
The Muslims have not always made such claims to the site. In
1924, the Supreme Muslim Council published “A Brief Guide to Al-Haram
Al-Sharif” which proclaimed that its “identity with the site of
Solomon’s Temple is beyond dispute.” In contrast, the present Mufti,
Mohammed Hussein, has been quoted many times in the media as claiming
that the site has been holy exclusively to Muslims since the dawn of
time.
This increasing Muslim
claim to the Temple Mount was given credence in 2016, when the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
passed a resolution giving Islam a religious monopoly to the Temple
Mount. The resolution, referring to the region as “Occupied Palestine”,
made no reference to a Jewish connection to the Temple Mount, and
referred to the Western Wall as “Al Buraq Plaza”.
Despite police restrictions and Arab protests, Jewish visitation to the Temple Mount rose 15 percent according to a Jerusalem Post report.
With six weeks left in the Jewish year, at least 17,000 Jews visited
their holiest site as compared to a total of 14,908 last year. 1,000
Jews are expected to visit the site during this holiday of Ninth of Av.
More than 250 Jews were reported to have entered the site by 9:00 AM, undergoing increased security checks.

One Day at a Time- 30K views
I am so honored to have had close to 30 thousand views last month of my blog. It is a blog like me, imperfect, missing things, sometimes off topic, sporratic, but it is a reflection of where my mind and heart is. I have just realized that I will likely not attend the barbeque at Valley View funeral home, on the 18th of August, the day Deborah took her life. I didn't pay attention to the date. It is a date I hope to forget, and wished it never happened. Having just come through a leaking water pipe in my yard, and the front lawn in upheaval with clay, and muck, I feel exhausted. I shared with my neighbour who was inquisitive that I almost had a divorce by the time we closed up the ground, he said; I saw the tension... I'm only paraphrasing for sensitive ears.. My husband detests home projects like this. So we survived it by the grace of God. The cost was manageable, and with my Japanese students, we will somehow float again.
My next undertaking is to have the wooden fence re-stained. I did the outdoor back staircase, the one I last did with Deborah. We have a huge pail of stain that someone dropped off at some point. It sure looks nice once again. The winter snow and salt has caused a fading and dryness that had to be dealt with. The fence hasn't been stained for over 6 years, it is as dry as bones. The hot temperatures, and smoke in the air, from the wildfires, now coming over from the USA is not helping. Do I like these projects? No, not really. What do we do though till Jesus arrives? Work to the best of our ability. Ohh and I even got an extra 100 dollars for referring Japanese students to a family. What a gift!
When I deposited the money today along with our mortgage monies, the line up was intense at the credit union. I waited almost 45 minutes. I choose not to use the bank machine, in-case they had no record of my deposit. Well, even the exorbitant line up, led me to witness to several people about Jesus' return. One man kept insisting that I look into his eyes, and speak in the spirit. Well, I told him I'm still in the flesh, so no ghost will be speaking to him. He was a little bit Buddha, and christian, and maybe Budhai I'm thinking.. Very bizarre that is for sure. I asked another man who happened to be black if he knows Sam Owusu, my pastor from Ghana. He said that he has seen him on television. I asked if I will see him at church this Sunday. One man told me he has one of the largest lots in Surrey, of 3/4 acres. I told him that I have a bigger lot in Heaven.. just any comment to bring the mind in subjection to the eternal, rather than the temporal. Like the Apostle Paul said he was all things to all people, just so that he may win some over to Christ. So the 45 minute line up, somehow passed after all. We are good for yet another month. We have to take one day at a time, now more than ever.

This September, the pilot project of a new mental health program will launch at Queen’s.
The Jack Project, spearheaded by Eric Windeler, promotes mental health education through the use of an informative website. The website will offer an interactive online support system for individuals struggling with mental health issues. Windeler’s son, Jack, ArtSci ’13, committed suicide at Queen’s in March 2010.
“We miss Jack every single day and hope our work can make a real difference for others,” Windeler told the Journal via email.
The project, which works in conjunction with Kids Help Phone and the Mental Health Commission of Canada, aims to strengthen the mental health of young adults nationwide as they make the transition from high school into university, college or independent living.
“Central to this initiative is to invest in online chat and mobile applications at Kids Help Phone,” said Windeler.
The Jack Project also includes awareness campaigns and a focus on practices that reduce the negative stigma surrounding mental health.
Queen’s is one of 12 colleges and universities that signed up for the pilot program, along with 22 high schools.
“We have limited the pilot to Ontario for practical travel and cost reasons,” Windeler said.
Windeler is optimistic about the state of mental health education at Queen’s.
“Queen’s is taking a leadership role in speaking out about mental health challenges on our campuses and this is vitally important,” he said. “We are hopeful other schools will follow Queen’s lead and train residence dons and other staff who are in regular contact with students.” The Jack Project is just one initiative funded by the Jack Windeler Memorial Fund at Kids Help Phone.
The national rollout of the project, targeting 300 high schools and 30 post-secondary institutions, will start next year.
“There will be immediate benefit in the lives of students today,” Windeler said. “The current generation of young people can make a huge difference … by not passing along the massive stigma associated with mental illness to their kids in the future.”
