For quite a long time there have been rumors of an eventual dividing up of Jerusalem. Even with articles coming out now and then, however, it seems most politicians have denied even discussing any such plans.
From a recent worldnetdaily article:
“America drafts plan to divide Israel capitol”

“JERUSALEM – The United States, which has been mediating negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority here, has proposed a plan to divide Jerusalem, WND has learned.
The plan, divided into separate phases, among other things calls for Israel eventually to forfeit parts of the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site.
According to the first stage of the U.S. plan, which was obtained by WND, Israel would give the PA some municipal and security sovereignty over key Arab neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem.
The PA would be allowed to open some official institutions in Jerusalem, could elect a mayor for the Palestinian side of the city and would deploy police forces to maintain law and order.”
What prophetic implications exist for a divided or shared Jerusalem? Does Scripture discuss dividing the land of Israel…and if so would this also apply in that context? Furthermore, if the US had a part in assisting the dividing of these lands, does the carry with it also prophetic implications, and if so…which?
What do you think?
