This Day in Jewish History / Saladin captures Jerusalem from the Crusaders

The entire middle east moves from problem to problem. Assad the dictator of Syria remains in power and Iran continues unwavering on it’s march in the development of nuclear weapons. Israel cannot gamble with this. Turkey a NATO member may be forced to get more involved in Syria. If this situation does not drastically change soon, I believe the war in Isaiah Chapter 17 will likely take place. Damascus Syria would be destroyed. The worlds economy would likely collapse as a result and usher in a one world government. I wrote a small 6 page book that outlines what I believe the Bible states will take place soon. I don’t accept donations and it’s free. It’s a short read. I encourage you to have a look: http://www.booksie.com/religion_and_spirituality/book/richard_b_barnes/after-the-rapture-whats-next/chapter/1

While many invaders criss-crossed the Land no one has left sucha permanent mark upon the Land except the Jewish People,be it in exile or staying in the Land.In short: Had there been no Israel,there would not have been either Christianity or Islam, Both sucked from the breasts of the Jewish Mother & both of them stabbed her,one in front & the other in her back. Why can't they get hold of another religion not using a single theme or history of the Jews !

A quick correction -- it was Gregory VIII (not Gregory VII) who called the Third Crusade. Thanks for the piece -- an interesting period of history.

One day it will happen again. Aaaaah the never ending saga of religion, politics and money. It all adds together to create a monstor of Greed, which will one day be the end of us all. We live in a nuclear and hydrogen age. No more swords, horses and camels.
