Jerusalem in the Scriptures

Bible of Jerusalem, 37 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, people were killing the prophets, and under the people her wing that was sent to her, you are not willing to .38" Look. Your house is leave it desolate you; from 39 "I say to you, you will never see me again to say the" be blessed "the name of the Lord. "(Matthew 23: 37-39) Jerusalem symbolizes the entire church. The word "Jerusalem" means "city of peace".

Whenever the Bible talk about Jerusalem, it is important to note that you are talking about East Jerusalem as we know it today. These sections in sections that refer to west Jerusalem does not have anything, because because only this part of the modern city appeared in the past 100 years. Just because East Jerusalem including the Old Town was cleansed by the Jewish people during the 19 years of Jordanian rule does not deny the relationship between the history of the Jews in 3000 years and this part of the city did.

The Bible not only resurrects Jews in their country, but also promises to rule over Jerusalem. This only happened recently. After the declaration of the modern Israeli state in 1948, there was still division in Jerusalem. Jordan holds control of the old city including the temples hill and most historical sites. During the six-day war of 1967, the Israeli army occupied the unified Jerusalem with the old city. For the first time over more than 2000, the city was under Jewish control! And the biblical prophecy was realized again.

Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world, one of the most sacred cities of Muslims, next to the Mecca of Saudi Arabia. But Jews and Christians also claimed that this city is the most sacred city and declared Jerusalem as its capital Israel (now). But Jerusalem is a holy place of Muslims and can not be the capital of Israel. Jerusalem was born out of Muslims as it was the first pilgrimage, or because Muslims were in the direction to pray (Today Muslims go to Mecca). The Holy Prophet Muhammad SWS prayed to the mosque in Jerusalem, but later he (SWS) declared Mecca a Muslim pilgrimage, but the mosque Al-Aqsa shared the same respect and dignity as Mecca.
