Isaiah Unsure What Part Of ‘House Of Prayer For All Nations’ People Don’t Get

“Anyone ever heard of standing up to evil?”

Temple MountJerusalem, June 29 – The Hebrew prophet Isaiah voiced exasperation today following the Israel Police’s decision to bar all non-Muslims from the Temple Mount for the remainder of the month of Ramadan in an effort to prevent further unrest, saying that excluding the members of any faith from praying on, let alone merely entering, the sacred plateau accomplishes the exact opposite of the inclusive divine vision for the site.

Isaiah the son of Amotz, who prophesied for several Jewish kings in the ninth and eighth centuries BCE, told reporters that he did not know what he had to do to get it into humanity’s thick skulls that the Temple Mount cannot be characterized by Apartheid, under which only people of a certain faith may visit or commune with the Creator. He lambasted the police for the decision, which he said reinforces a discriminatory regime that undermines everything he and the other prophets worked for.

“In one fell swoop, the police caved to threats of violence from thugs who want to negate anyone else’s right to engage with God from the location where humanity was created,” charged the prophet, referring to the teaching that the clod of Earth from which humanity was fashioned was taken from the spot where the Temple’s external altar would later stand. “Whereas the Creator shared with us a picture of all people having a common origin and a path to relationship with Him, the police send a message that anyone who gets violent, possessive, and forceful enough can obstruct or negate that path for others.”

The police ban was imposed this week after violent episodes in which worshipers at the Al Aqsa Mosque atop the Temple Mount attacked non-Muslims, especially Jews, with rocks and fireworks they had stockpiled in the mosque itself. Isaiah called the violence a manifestation of everything wrong with the world.

“All of humanity’s tragic failures stem from an overdeveloped sense of needing to control,” he explained. “People who explode in violence when their feeling of entitlement is threatened are just reliving the seizing of the fruit in the Garden of Eden, and refusing to let anything different from their desires and expectations develop. It becomes an obsessive, futile, and ultimately self-destructive path. And as for the police, their policy only feeds the illusion that violence is the answer, and if that fails, greater violence. Anyone ever heard of standing up to evil?”

“I might have to reassess my most famous prophecy, given these developments,” added Isaiah. “The way it looks now, you people are hopeless.”
