An Israeli nonprofit announced Wednesday that it would be releasing a celebratory coin in honor of the 70th anniversary of Israel’s independence, and it will feature the face of President Donald Trump as an expression of “gratitude” for his decision to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem.
“For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.” Jeremiah 29:10 (KJV)
EDITOR'S NOTE: Donald Trump has done something no other US president has ever done in both the declaring Jerusalem to the capital of Israel, and in the moving of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The global impact and importance of these two events in the reshaping of the Middle East cannot be overstated. The 70th anniversary of regathered Israel on Monday May 14th commemorates when President Harry S. Truman recognized the right of regathered Israel to exist as a sovereign nation, a decision which immediately fulfilled Jesus' prophecy in Matthew 24 and also triggered the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. What events will be triggered this Monday when the US Embassy officially opens in the middle of the most-contested piece of real estate in world history? I have no idea, but I bet it'll be something pretty big.
The 'Temple Coin' depicts King Cyrus, who allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem 2,500 years ago, alongside Trump, KOBI reported.
A menorah and the seal of the United States government are also pictured, with biblical verses written in in Hebrew on the face of the coin. On the back is a dove, holding an olive branch in its beak, above a temple.
“The coin expresses our joy and gratitude that the American Embassy will be transferred to Jerusalem in honor of Israel’s Independence Day,” the Mikdash Educational Center said on its website. “It is the fulfillment of the Trump declaration recognizing the centrality of Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel.”
Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017 by directing the State Department to begin the move of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Plans to open the embassy in May were made to coincide with Israel’s independence anniversary.

The police presence will be larger than usual at this year’s Jerusalem Day celebrations, in which tens of thousands of people are expected to take part, Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
Hundreds of additional security personnel will be securing the annual march through the Old City, which is expected to be bigger than usual on the heels of Israel’s 70th Independence Day.
Police will be on especially high alert next week, with the US Embassy move to Jerusalem scheduled for Monday and the Palestinian Nakba Day the day after that. The Palestinians have announced the day of the US Embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as a “day of rage.”
