I'm gonna skip all these pages completely, and just see if I can get an answer to this:
Yes, a people conquer another people and take their land.
So why is it that this particular piece of land, and who legitimately owns it, is allowed to turn the world on it's head until World War Armageddon?
I see others always pointing to timeframes throughout the centuries that Palestinians "peacefully" ruled tribally,
And the rights therein.
I see the claim by Muslims that Jerusalem is their third holiest city.
I see claims by Jews/Israeli's that this IS their holiest city, and the only piece of land on planet earth that was ordained to any people by God.
And basically, I see two brothers, Jacob and Esau, fighting a blood feud for thousands of years because of a slighted birthrite.
One side that says it was given to them, and one that says they were cheated.
And the side that now holds the land, gives more and more back to appease the world , but won't let go of all of it as it's all they have, or ever wanted.
One side claims to be chosen by God, the other claims the same with cries of blasphemy, that a God would "choose" a people so plainly deceitful.
And then, "Jacob I have loved, Esau I have hated."
And then Christians, that predominantly believe that the land belongs to Israel, because the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is also Jesus, the promised messiah; Who, in the same fashion he forgave a world on the cross for every sin past and present, also bestowed a birthright of land to a people just as underserving, thus revealing the mystery of grace.
And the world is dumbfounded.
If this isn't indeed a Holy Land, then it is still a perfect representation of the human race.
