Jerusalem in the First Temple Period The city is situated at the center of the three great territorial blocs that were allotted to the twelve tribes of Israel, and it borders on the territory of the Tribe of Benjamin - to which King Saul had belonged - and on that of Judah, King David's tribe. It was in Jerusalem that most of the great prophets were active, articulating spiritual and ethical principles that would transcend the city's narrow confines to become pillars of human civilization. In the year 701 BCE, during the reign of King Hezekiah, Jerusalem was delivered from a siege laid by King Sennacherib of Assyria, an episode in which moral support by the prophet Isaiah was crucial. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org /jsource/History/jer1.html   (547 words)

Brewer, E. Cobham. Dictionary of Phrase & Fable. Jerusalem Delivered. The Christian army having reached Jerusalem, the king of Damascus sent Armi’da to beguile the Christians; she told an artful tale by which she drew off several of the most puissant. It was found that Jerusalem could never be taken without the aid of Rinaldo; but Rinaldo had withdrawn from the army, because Godfrey had cited him to answer for the death of Girnando, slain in a duel. Godfrey, being informed that the hero was dallying with Armi’da in the enchanted island, sent to invite him back to the army; he returned, and Jerusalem was taken in a night attack. www.bartleby.com /81/9185.html   (273 words)

Jerusalem When Jerusalem was taken from the Muslims, on July 15, 1099, it became necessary for the Christian conquerors to establish some permanent rule for the Holy City and for such other conquests as Antioch (now Antakya, Turkey) and Edessa (now Urfa, Turkey). The Muslims retook Jerusalem in 1244 in the first of a series of victories for Islam that finally, with the reconquest of Acre in 1291, brought the Latin Kingdom to an end. A Christian kingdom of Jerusalem was established, with Godfrey as its first king, his brother Baldwin as Count of Edessa (Upper Mesopotamia), and Bohemund as Prince of Antioch. website.lineone.net /~johnbidmead/jerusalem.htm   (2263 words)

Most of Jerusalem's 237,100 Arabs live in East Jerusalem, which Israel has controlled since the 1967 war, according to a 2004 census from the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics.

[No title] The Jerusalem church, after much discussion of the question, concluded that it was not at all necessary for Gentiles to be circumcised and come under the law of Moses in order to be saved. Judea and Silas were to verify to the church at Antioch that the letter which was being delivered to them was actually the letter which the Jerusalem church had written and to verify that it had not been altered in any way by Paul or Barnabas or by anybody else. They knew that their mission of delivering this letter was important and they did not waste time by making unnecessary stops along the way to see the sights or to visit with friends who lived along the route. members.aceweb.com /pec/acts/Acts086.txt   (2111 words)

Jerusalem and Islam Jerusalem was in the middle of Trade routes. Jerusalem tried to be focused by Muslim Pilgrimage, but the significance of Jerusalem thereafter declined in favor of Mecca and Medina.

Church of the Apostles Found on Mt. Zion - Pixner - BAR and CenturyOne Foundation I believe that the returning Judeo-Christians did it in the late first century, when they put up their synagogue on the site they identified with the cenacle (the Upper Room, where the Last Supper was held), the center of the primitive community around James, "the brother of the Lord" (Galatians 1:19). The Judeo-Christians returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Simon Bar-Kleopha, who was the second bishop of Jerusalem after James, "the brother of the Lord," and, like Jesus, a descendant of the royal Davidic family. The reconciliation was finalized when the bishop of Jerusalem, John II (served 387-419 A.D.), blessed the altar of the Judeo-Christians (propitiatory, Hebrew kapporet), now in the Theodosian church, on the feast of Yom Kippur (September 15), possibly 394 A.D. On that occasion Bishop John gave a most astonishing sermon full of Judeo-Christian symbolism. www.centuryone.org /apostles.html   (8297 words)

Jerusalem Delivered - Torquato Tasso (trans.: Edward Fairfax) Torquato Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered is one of the great Italian epics, an influential and immensely popular piece that was, eventually, easily eclipsed in reputation by Dante's earlier great work, the Divine Comedy. The central figure is Godfrey of Bouillon/Boulogne, who would become ruler of Jerusalem after it was "liberated" (only to promptly die the next year), but other figures also play prominent roles, including crusaders such as Tancred, Saracen and Circassian warriors, and various heathens, sorceresses and whatnot. Despite the fact that god and right are obviously on their side -- they are, after all, liberating Jerusalem from those unworthy Muslims -- the adventure is not a smooth and painless one. www.complete-review.com /reviews/tassot/gerulib1.htm   (1518 words)

Jerusalem Must Be Liberated Again Palestinian security services and the "civilian" police of the governor of East Jerusalem, Jamil Othman (also known as Abu Nasser), who was appointed to this post by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and whose offices are in Abu Dis, operate in East Jerusalem almost openly. Operating in parallel to Israeli security services and law-enforcement agencies in East Jerusalem is a comprehensive security and law-enforcement mechanism that is being run by the Palestinians and which engages in a variety of activities: Intelligence work, abductions, interrogations, bodyguard services, arbitration and patrols.

Jerusalem Delivered - Torquato Tasso (trans.: Anthony M. Esolen) The story is that of the First Crusade, concluding with the triumphal Christian liberation of Jerusalem in 1099.

Argante and Tancred have a terrible and messy final showdown ("the pagan's blood was gushing as from a spout"), but the Christians finally gain the upper hand completely. www.complete-review.com /reviews/tassot/gerulib2.htm   (1736 words)

Jerusalem Delivered   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) In this epic poem Tasso narrates the actions of the Christian army led by Godfrey of Bouillon during the last months of the First Crusade, culminating in the conquest of Jerusalem and the Battle of Ascalon. The most prominent of these episodes is the story of the Italian hero Rinaldo, including his rebellion, his love for the Saracen girl Armida, and his repentance and decisive participation in the final battle. In composing the Liberata52, Tasso tried to establish a balance between the moral aspirations of his times and his own sensuous inspiration, and between the requirements of the formal rules laid down for the epic by Renaissance scholars and the impulse of his own lyrical fantasy. www.ccnmtl.columbia.edu /projects/mmt/milton/concepts/jerusalem_delivered.html   (245 words)
