I want to quickly mention that next Sunday we will not have a prophecy update because it is December 24th

and we're going to have as we do every year our Christmas services. We will not have a Christmas Eve service in the evening, but we will have our Christmas services on Christmas Eve Day at the regular time next Sunday,

8.30 a.m. and again at 10.45 a.m. Okay. For today's update, I want to talk about something that

I'm going to begin with this breaking Israel news article about how the White House had criticized

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for his comments

against the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, saying that such rhetoric has, quote,

prevented peace for decades. The U.S. rebuke came after Abbas stated Wednesday that the Palestinians

would refuse any future U.S. involvement in the peace process and threatened that there will

be, listen to this, quote, no peace or stability, peace and security, in the region until Jerusalem is recognized

as the Palestinian capital. Abbas's comments came during Wednesday's meeting of the
