Democratic Convention Puts Jerusalem on Platform

This is pretty amazing...as the whole world continues to buzz about Jerusalem...just as God said it would in the Last Days before end of the Age of Grace.

The Democratic national convention in Charlotte has been plunged into chaos with a row over Israel threatening to overshadow Bill Clinton's speech as the second day of business was mired in a clumsy and embarrassing climbdown.

Barack Obama intervened personally to try and head off a mounting clamour from Jewish donors and pro-Israel groups who objected to the dropping of a line supporting Jerusalem as the capital of Israel from the Democratic policy platform.

A day after the platform was published without the recognition of Jerusalem, the line was reinstated. Pressure had been building over not only the dropping of that statement – which was part of the Democratic party platform in 2008 – but also the removal of any reference to God in the document. Those omissions threatened to alienate both Jewish Democratic supporters and Christian swing voters.

But the reintroduction of the lines was equally controversial; its clumsy handling resulting in a confusing vote and booing on the convention floor.

At the formal opening of the day's business, the convention chairman, Antonio Villaraigosa, proposed a vote to return to the document its past commitment to Jerusalem as the Israeli capital as well as a reference to God.

He called for those in favour of the change to shout 'Aye' and those against 'No'. It was a hard to tell, with the two sounding evenly-divided. Villaraigosa called the vote a total of three times to no certain result but eventually called it for the Ayes.

In fact, the change required a two-thirds vote in favour and it definitely did not sound anywhere close to that. But Villaraigosa pushed it through anyway, determined to try to bring a speedy end to an awkward row. There was loud booing in the hall when he announced the changes had gone through.

Wow!  Loud booing when they mentioned Jerusalem as Israel's capital!!  Loud booing when they pushed to mention God?

What kind of a path are we on people?  When the name of God and His Holy City are booed at the convention to re-elect our President....how far have we strayed from Him who has blessed us and made us great?

This is truly an amazing and sad piece of news.

We will need to watch and see what the Democrats do about Jerusalem.  It seems that they have made the city a cup of trembling at their national convention.
