Jerusalem of Gold, Jerusalem of Old, Jerusalem of God
It would seem all these words in the subject line are related, and it's true, they ARE. So much blood has been shed over this City of Gold, and it is said, through the EAST Gate, the Messiah will come. What will the Messiah bring of tidings of great joy to the entire world? It has to be, about World Peace, and it will have to be a shared, Victorious Secret. Because I cannot perceive of splitting families, and we are the Family of Man. So how to accomplish this in a country, the size of a postage stamp? So many people, around the world, all clamoring for a piece of this sacred ground. I believe it's going to happen, because I am a believer, and I also believe, there's an astounding story that surrounds ALL stories, that will OUT. I am thinking, for the world to stand at the Wailing Wall and ponder, a "Whale" of a tale, because I am seeing a story, deeply encoded in the sacred alphabets around the world that's going to bring us all home.

Our birthright
I oppose any notion of dividing the land and giving it to strangers. It is prohibited by our Law! We also have a Law that says one law to both Jew and stranger amongst us. It is prohibited to oppress the stranger living amongst us, but we must not give up our birthright. Our name is not Esav.
