Dear friends:

The below is an interesting excerpt about "The Mount of Evil Counsel" from Tim Cooper's The Israel Report:
 

One of the high hills to the south of Jerusalem is known as "The Mount of Evil Counsel" it is notorious for many reasons, one of which is that Caiphas owned a house here in which the pharisees held their first meeting to take counsel against Jesus and is where he "prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation" (John 11). David fought the Philistines here, and history records that virtually every time an enemy sought to lay siege against Jerusalem they formed their battle plans from atop this hill. Today, the United Nations has its Jerusalem headquarters housed on top of the Mount of Evil Counsel. Every nation of the world is represented by this confederation, and is in the process of fulfilling the Scripture in Zachariah 12:2-3 "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem. 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."

 

Jerusalem is about to become the burdensome stone that will crush all of the enemies of God. The Lord is about to stand up in His city Jerusalem, and the world is going to be humbled before our Mighty King. This will not come to pass in a single day, however, and represents a time of great struggle and suffering, both in Jerusalem itself, and the world as a whole.
