First God bless Israel and it's a great day when Jerusalem and Israel are one again. But this will be a stone that will get in the way of the surrounding countries and fulfill another prophecy. We as Christians should celebrate this and pray for the peace in Jerusalem.
This has been one of those moments where my physical eyes and ears see one thing, but in my spirit it felt like an after shock wave had resonated around the world.
Waiting to see how this pans out..
My suspicion is that this has nothing to do with bible prophecy.
I fail to see the strategic value in the decision. Why do something to alienate your other allies such as Jordan, the UAE, Egypt, or Saudi Arabia?
How many administrations have tried to make a two state solution with the Palestinians getting Jerusalem. The fact is both Israel and Palestinians have claim to Jerusalem. Even though to any honest person that knows history Israel has much more of a claim to this historic city. In order to not go in circles like every past US administrations have done we had to decide who gets Jerusalem to settle it. Trump has done just that by giving it to our close friend Israel.
"There is no peace that doesn’t include Jerusalem as the capital of Israel." - Benjamin Netanyahu
"The children of Palestine are the hope, the future, the independence, and the state, and in them we see Jerusalem, the capital of our independent state." - Mahmoud Abbas
Of Course Jerusalem Is Israel’s Capital
Sorry you don't see it from the link below:
Within Jerusalem, the Temple Mount is the most hotly debated piece of real estate anywhere in the world. At the Second Camp David summit held during the summer of 2000, Yasser Arafat said that there was never a temple built by Solomon or Herod on what the Moslems call the Haram esh-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary). Those temples, he said, were located on Mount Gerizim near Nablus (Gold 2007: 11). The literary sources and the Temple Mount Sifting Project have clearly demonstrated that these Temples once stood on the Haram.
The Bible, history, and geography are clear: Jerusalem was chosen by the Almighty as the capital of the nation of Israel … why? The simple answer – God’s Son.
The Bible speaks of how in the future Jerusalem will become the centre of international controversy. The prophecies in Zechariah 12-14, Joel 3 and Ezekiel 38-39 show that a great confederacy of nations will attack Israel and in particular Jerusalem. Consider these verses:
“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it”. Zechariah 12:3
Jerusalem | The Gospel Truth
Ezekiel 37:21 and say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land.

Scripture;
Gen 15
[18] In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
[19] The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
[20] And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
[21] And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Deut 11
[24] Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

Historically;
Philistines began migrating to Israel's promised lands.
Philistines became modern Palestinians' establishing their own nation, which some of the world's nations acknowledge, and some of the world's nations do not acknowledge.
Today;
Israel is but a tiny strip.
Yes;
There is constant conflict between Palestinians and Israeli's.
Yes;
World nations have had Summits, to gather together, in Diplomacy, to attempt to come to an agreement, suitable to both Palestinians and Israeli's .
Yes;
The US has been involved and in attendance at such Summits.
I highly doubt a Religious Difference will be resolved with a Secular "diplomatic" Solution.
Wars and rumor of wars, will be in common-place until Jesus returns.
Trump gave nothing to the Israeli's, particularly their own Capital.
Trump simply announced the US formally recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's Capital, as the Jews themselves have done for years.
The US has never recognized Palestine as a State, thus neither has the US recognized Jerusalem as a Capital of a State, it does not recognize.
God Bless,

The map that was shown was what was given to Abraham, not NT Israel, as your map showed, or Today's Israel, as your 2nd map showed. Thus the map WAS accurate for what it claimed to depict.First the map that you showed is not accurate.

Sorry you don't see Bible prophecy regarding Israel as real.
As my post gave some scriptures telling of a couple of prophecies that are happening right now.
East Jerusalem. Not all of it.
Like others - I feel a sense of real SHOCK about what has happened. Furthermore, I am mystified and stunned that we have "evangelicals" in the USA who are somehow advocating that this was the "right thing to do".
ALL of the allies of the USA - all of them - begged and pleaded for the President NOT to take this action. The USA has now embarrassed its best friends in the region, and has transferred tremendous political energy to its enemies.
But you may say ... this is only political.
OK true. But then how about the fact that all the major Christian leaders, from a variety of denominations, asked Donald Trump NOT to make this declaration. These are Christians actually living in Jersualem. Wouldn't they know better than anybody. And still their voices were ignored.
I see countless Christians on Yahoo saying things like ... "well Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and that's it.". And astonishingly, many of those voices carry bigotry and hatred as well. BUT MY REPLY to them is very simple. Apparently you did not read very much of your own Bible. Try reading the entire Book of Jeremiah. See what God did to Israel and Judah. And after you finish, then read Ezekiel, Chapter 5 about Jerusalem. Are you still confident that you are an "authority" about this city??
The "Washington DC Evangelicals" are giving the world the distinct impression that they are perfectly happy to see the start of World War Three. Their viewpoint seems to be ... "As for me, I'm safe because I am positive that I will go up in the Tribulation, and frankly I don't care about the other 7.7 billion people living here on Earth".
That is how their message comes across.
This idea is about as far from the words of Christ - as I can possibly imagine.
We should PRAY.
I have never seen the world so fragile as it is right now, nor so many people so blind and filled with hate speech. The consequences of the "Jerusalem Decision" will be big ... very, very big.
