What happens when the Temple is finally built and Hashem warns Solomon that it could still be lost?
1 Kings 9 reveals that the Temple was never meant to guarantee Israel’s security; the real question is whether we remain faithful to the covenant.
In this chapter of Prophets of Israel Daily, learn about: -Solomon and the Temple: Hashem appears to Solomon after the Temple is completed and promises that His eyes and heart will remain there. -The warning of exile: Even at the height of Israel’s glory, Hashem warns that disobedience could lead to exile and the destruction of the Temple. -Tisha B’Av: Why the destruction of both Temples is already foreshadowed in 1 Kings 9—and what that teaches us about covenant and responsibility. -What we reach for: A powerful look at idolatry, security, and the temptation to place our trust in earthly rulers rather than the King of Kings. -The return to the Land: From two thousand years of exile to the modern return of the Jewish people, Jerusalem and the Land of Israel are once again witnessing Jewish life and sovereignty. -The inheritance of Israel: Solomon’s decision involving the cities of the Galilee raises a profound question: Can we ever become so accustomed to a gift that we forget it is a miracle?

What happens when one hidden child stands between the royal line of King David and extinction?
Can a king destroy idolatry and still fail to serve Hashem with his whole heart?
JCAP (the Jerusalem Center for Applied Policy) researches, advances policies and advocates for Jerusalem as Israel's sovereign and indivisible capital- and more. Founder and president Chaim Silberstein speaks with Eve Harow about little known issues that have dangerous ramifications. For example, the Arab population of the city now stands at 40%. How can Jerusalem be reconfigured and built up as to minimize the potential of a ‘democratic’ coup? Erdogan of Turkey, with Qatari complicity, is building a Sunni ring around Israel whose goal is to anoint him as Caliphate of an Empire with Jerusalem at the center. Iran and its proxies remain a major nuclear threat to the West. With France burning, JCAP’s global diplomatic efforts are becoming increasingly critical to educate allies that Israel’s enemies are theirs as well. Their research provides valuable insights into what’s coming next and how to avoid the consequences of inaction.
Are we witnessing biblical prophecy unfold in Israel today?
Can there be peace without truth and justice?
