Rabbi Yehuda Glick talks about Temple Mount and the position Israel finds itself in today.

Rabbi Yehuda: In October 2014, at the end of an event where we were teaching about Jerusalem as a city of peace, and we were preaching and advocating tolerance and respect about how Jerusalem is a city which is sanctified to so many people around the world, billions of people, believers of the Bible, and therefore it should be a potential for peace. But there are those in the name of God who believe that exclusively they have a right to kill. At the end of an event I was attacked from very close, 30cm away. Four bullets shot through the centre of my body. I was critically injured, and I was hospitalized for 10 days. I was in a coma, and I went through several different surgeries, different operations and thank God I have survived.

Paul: Do you feel that is a miracle today that you are alive?

Rabbi Yehuda: For sure, the chances for me to survive, they were zero. My family were all called to say goodbye. After I went through so many surgical procedures, it's definitely a great miracle, that medicine today is definitely the angel from God.

Paul: This year is 50 years of the reunification of Jerusalem and Israel's 70th Birthday; the American embassy has been moved, and even Prince William is coming, are we living in amazing days?

Rabbi Yehuda: For sure two years ago no one would have believed that the Americans would move their embassy and here we see it happening. We actually read the verses of the book of Ezra, where Cyrus was the leader of all the states, decides to recognise Jerusalem 70 years away and here we are exactly on our 70th anniversary. It's definitely a miracle, but we don't leave it only for the kings and leaders. I think everybody who is in the world, all mankind can be part of that process.

We opened a page called the 'Jerusalem Covenant' where we say that people who recognise the fact that this is a biblical era, recognise the fact that this is a city of unification. Of all those who believe in one God and we have over 200 people who have signed the 'Jerusalem Covenant', you just go into Jerusalemofpeace.com and you can sign the 'Jerusalem Covenant' and you yourself can be part of this procedure. It's not something that you can only hear about other people, but we call upon all people to take part. Go into Jerusalemofpeace.com, sign the 'Jerusalem Covenant' and you yourself be part of this godly biblical phenomena, prophetic phenomena and prophetical era.

Paul: It is 50 years of the reunification of Jerusalem and Israel's 70th birthday, are those numbers significant biblically?

Rabbi Yehuda: For sure, 50 the year of jubilee, the year of freedom, the year of liberty and we saw 70 years, which represents a lot of ideas in the process of redemption. The second Temple was rebuilt 70 years after the first temple, and we see that Daniel speaks many times about 7x70. We see that the number 70 is the number of sages of Israel. It's definitely a very significant number, but we see it happening and we believe that things are happening, the major changes. The majority of the people of Israel are now living in Israel, the biggest gathering of the Jewish people around the world and I think it's a message not only for the people of Israel. We have been chosen to be a light unto the nations, meaning show the light of all nations and all people of all nations can be proud of the process.

Paul: You are Jewish and I am Christian, is the Jewish-Christian relationship a good relationship?

Rabbi Yehuda: Throughout history we have had different frictions between Jews and Christians, between Jews and Muslims, between Jews and many others, Germans, Greeks, Babylonians, but we are not here to look back at the past, we are here to look ahead at the future. Those who bless us God says will be blessed, and Abraham was chosen to be the ancestor of the people of Israel, to bring the blessing to all nations. The fact that we see the phenomena that so many Christians around the world are praying for Israel, supporting Israel, sharing support of all kind with Israel, is definitely also part of this process."

Paul: Do you see God's hand protecting the nation?

Rabbi Yehuda: We always have to pray and we always have to try to get closer to God. Yes I am sure that anybody looking at the history of the State of Israel in the past 70 years, how many wars we have gone through, there is no other rational explanation but the hand of God.

Paul: Is Israel a miracle in itself to be here?

Rabbi Yehuda: Every single day in this country is a miracle, every single success that we have is a miracle and every day that we survive is a miracle. But when you get miracles it's not only something to be proud about, something to celebrate, but it's also an obligation to bring it about and to show the world God's word. That's what we are chosen to do. To bring the word of God to the entire universe.
