The Battle of Jerusalem
Islamites refuse to give Jerusalem to Jews and Jews cannot give it away. Why has Jerusalem no peace?
Descendants of Abraham
God is the only landowner. As a matter of fact no man owns any bit of this planet. God has given us a place where we can live. He promised to Abraham's descendants the land of Canaan, where also Jerusalem is. "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates." Gen.15:18 "The whole land of Canaan, where you are now an alien, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God." Gen.17:8
As well Ismael as Isaac are descendants of Abraham. Islamites are descendants of Ismael and Jews are descendants of Isaac. They are quarrelling about the inheritance of Abraham.
Ismael was born from the maidservant of Abraham. Because Ismael was an illegitimate child, he and his mother were driven away from the family. God said to Abraham: "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. I will make the son of the maidservant into a nation also, because he is your offspring." Gen.21:12-13 Where did Ismael live then? "He was living in the Desert of Paran." Gen.21:21
So Jerusalem is still suffering because of the adultery of Abraham.

Deportation from the Promised Land
Although God has promised that land to the descendants of Abraham He has already two times driven the Israeli away from their land. When they got the land for the first time God set the condition which they should fulfil so that they could keep the land. They had to live according to God's law and commands or they would be driven away from the land. They trespassed very badly against the law and God sent the King of Babel to destroy Jerusalem. He captivated the people and took them away from the land that God had promised to them.
After 70 years they were allowed to return to their land. Was it because they were now better? No, but God did it for the sake of His own name. The Israeli had to live in their own land because the Messiah was to be born among them. The Messiah came but they didn't know Him but crucified Him.
The tears of the Messiah welled up in His eyes when He saw Jerusalem. "As He approached Jerusalem and saw the city, He wept over it and said, 'If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace - but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognise the time of God's coming to you." Luke 19:41-44 This prophecy was fulfilled in the year 70.
Jews were driven away from their land the second time because they rejected the Messiah. In our times God has allowed them to return to their land. So, are they better? No, but God has done this for the sake of His own name. The Israeli must live in their own land, because Jesus is coming back onto the earth.

UN encircles Jerusalem
The Islamite refuse to give Jerusalem to Jews and Jews cannot give it away. Their fanatical attitude surprises all nations. People are drunk because of Jerusalem and like a drunkard they don't care about the safety of other people though the destiny of the whole world is in danger.
This word of God is coming true in our days: "I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves." Zech.12:2-3
The United States has tried "to move this immovable rock". God has foretold us that USA will injure itself because it has involved in this matter. Finally UN will send its army to Jerusalem.

Jerusalem belongs to Jesus Christ
At last God Himself steps down onto the earth. "On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south." Zech.14:4
Jesus is the Messiah and He will come and conquer Jerusalem. It is not until then that the city will have peace.
Jerusalem belongs to me through Jesus Christ, for also I have the same faith as Abraham.
