Thoughts on Jerusalem

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War, referred to as the "War of Independence" (Hebrew: מלחמת העצמאות‎) or as the "War of Liberation" (Hebrew: מלחמת השחרור‎) by Israelis, is the first in a series of armed conflicts fought between Israel and its Arab neighbors in the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict. For Palestinians, the war marked the beginning of the events they refer to as "The Catastrophe" ("al Nakba", Arabic: النكبة‎). After the United Nations proposed to partition the territory of the British Mandate of Palestine into two states, Jewish and Arab, the Arabs refused to accept it and the armies of Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon and Iraq, supported by others, invaded the newly established State of Israel which they intended to destroy.[1] As a result, the region was divided between Israel, Egypt and Transjordan. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Arab-Israeli_War for the rest of this version.

The Six-Day War (Arabic: حرب الأيام الستة, ħarb al‑ayyam as‑sitta ; Hebrew: מלחמת ששת הימים, Milhemet Sheshet Ha‑Yamim), also known as the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, the Third Arab-Israeli War, Six Days' War, an‑Naksah (The Setback), or the June War, was fought between Israel and its Arab neighbours of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria with Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Algeria contributing troops and arms to their fronts. When Egypt expelled the United Nations Emergency Force from the Sinai Peninsula, increased its military activity near the border, and blockaded the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships, Israel launched a pre-emptive attack on Egypt's airforce fearing an imminent invasion by Egypt.[1] Jordan then attacked the Israeli cities of Jerusalem and Netanya.[2][3] At the war's end, Israel had gained control of the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. The results of the war affect the geopolitics of the region to this day. See the rest here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War

However, there is someone who has the Highest authority over man to determine who lives there. That is our Lord God Almighty! The land was a promise to the Israelites by God to live there peacefully on his Holy Mountain Jerusalem. It was given to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob who was renamed Israel. I don't want to offend anyone with my feelings on who should control Jerusalem and West Bank. The entire West Bank and Jerusalem should always be in control by the Israelis as the Lord God promised in the Torah. Man's wars, nor the U.N. has any authority nor merit when it comes to the Word of God by Moses in the Torah. I apoligize to anyone who is offended by what I have to say concerning the Holy Mountain of Jerusalem which belongs to the Lord God Almighty.

We happen to have a couple here right now who have lived in Isreal. He demonstrated the passover supper for the church. I find Jewish history so meaningful.

Dear Sherry,
Do not fear. When we say that of which God spake, we should never be intimidated nor ashamed. Apologize to no one! Our Almighty God is the One and Only true God, and He loves everyone. It is not His fault that NOT everyone loves Him...

How are you doing? I miss ya. I've been at it again. lol. Take care.
