The book of Ezra the 1st chapter clearly states that "Cyrus king of Persia" issued a proclamation stating that "the Lord God of Heaven" commanded him to build Him a house at Jerusalem in Judah". The list of people who were allowed to go to Jerusalem is listed in chapters 2-3. The rebuilding was later stopped by King Artaxerxes of Persia Ezra chtp 4:7-24 however he later allowed Nehemiah to do more wok on the temple site (Neh chpt 2...). The construction was finished under King Darius 5:7-17. Ezra was the priest and scribe who served in Jerusalem and Nehemiah was the governor there (Neh 12:26) being contemporaries.

Israel is the Holy Land and Jerusalem is the Holy City. It is so because it is the promised land and the land where Christ was born and the land where the first temple to Almighty God was built. Jerusalem is the city to where Christ will some day soon return. It is the land God has chosen for Himself and promised to the Jews. It is the Holy Land because it's where Christianity started. No, the Bible doesn't say what type of tree was used to make the cross of Christ. There are many fig trees, acacia trees and palm trees there so it would be difficult to even hazard a guess. Since God is holy and since His Son is holy, the land of God is also called the Holy Land. The Bible doesn't specifically call it that, as far as I know, but it does command the Jews to be a holy nation, as well as Christians.

…Heaven, …Israel, …both.\nIt is God’s testament, promise, and word. That you can find your rest in Him.\n\nPlease don’t forget Rev. King was referring the fact that Moses was not allow to enter the land, but was only allowed to see it from the mountaintop.\n\n…I look forward to asking him someday, in God’s Glory.  Amen

To the Hebrews (Jews).  It is not ascribed to a particular author, but most believe it was Paul. Hebrews (Acts 6:1) were the Hebrew-speaking Jews, as distinguished from those who spoke Greek.

The Return of the King

acity_I,\n\nThe Jebusites do not exist as a people any more. They were partially conquered during the days of Joshua who led the children of Israel into the “promised land.” Many years later, King David conquered the remainder who lived in Zion which was renamed the City of David. David treated at least some of the Jebusites kindly and actually bought the site where the temple was built from a Jebusite named Araunah. David’s son, King Solomon, used the Jebusites who weren’t assimilated into the Jewish nation as slave labor to construct buildings in Jerusalem – including the temple. In the time of Ezra’s return from Babylon – around 450 BC – the Jews living in Jerusalem had intermarried with several groups including the Jebusites. This is the last historical mention of the Jebusites.\n\nI hope this helps.\n\nGod bless.

Matthew 10:23\n23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.\n\nMatthew 11:23\nAnd thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. \n\nMatthew 19:28; \nAnd Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.\n\nMatthew 21:43, 44; 24; 25:31-46; 26:17-35, 46, 64; \nGoodluck ^_^

It was Constantine. \n\n"Constantine is perhaps best known for being the first Roman Emperor to freely allow Christianity." (wikipedia)\n\nIncidentally, he let his mom (Helena Augusta) go around and pick out all the holy sites.

Paul when he took Judao-Christianity and made it just another religion to be followed by the masses.\n\n\nthough Constantine did sever the remaining Jewish ties it had and forced it upon his entire empire.

Neither. They were both prophets and given a significant assignment. One got to lead the Jews out of slavery and start a personal relationship with God.  The other had the privelege of leading the way before Jesus came and got to baptize him.

The saddest event in Moses' life might well be God's prohibiting him from entering the land of Israel. The reason for this ban is explicitly connected to an episode in Numbers in which the Hebrews angrily demand that Moses supply them with water. God commands Moses to assemble the community, "and before their very eyes order the [nearby] rock to yield its water." Fed up with the Hebrews' constant whining and complaining, he says to them instead: "Listen, you rebels, shall we get water for you out of this rock?" He then strikes the rock twice with his rod, and water gushes out (Numbers 20:2-13). It is this episode of disobedience, striking the rock instead of speaking to it, that is generally offered as the explanation for why God punishes Moses and forbids him to enter Israel.

Pharisees now come to Jesus and say: “Get out and be on your way from here, because Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you.” It may be that Herod himself started this rumor to cause Jesus to flee from the territory. Herod may have been afraid of becoming involved in the death of another prophet of God as he was in the killing of John the Baptizer. But Jesus tells the Pharisees: “Go and tell that fox, ‘Look! I am casting out demons and accomplishing healing today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be finished.’”\n\nAfter finishing his work there, Jesus continues his journey toward Jerusalem because, as he explains, “it is not admissible for a prophet to be destroyed outside of Jerusalem.” Why is it to be expected that Jesus would be killed in Jerusalem? Because Jerusalem is the capital city, where the 71-member Sanhedrin high court is located and where the animal sacrifices are offered. Therefore, it would be inadmissible for “the Lamb of God” to be killed anywhere but in Jerusalem.\n\nThe fox is well known for its craftiness, and perhaps with reference to this characteristic Jesus Christ spoke of King Herod as “that fox.”

An exact figure I have yet to find; perhaps this insight can help.\n\nThe Lord, the God of Israel, made a Covenant with the fathers of old in the day that God brought them forth out of the land of Egypt (Jer.34:13 below).  Thy time was the time of love (Eze.16:8 below).\n\nALL the fathers of old were under the cloud, and ALL passed through the sea and ALL were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea and ALL ate the same spiritual meat and ALL drank the same spiritual drink (1 Cor.10:1-4 below).\n\nI believe that it was these spiritual acts and the passing through the sea at the Exodus that married Israel to their Maker (Isa.54:5, Jer.3:14, Eze.16:8 below).\n\n\nJer.34:13Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel:  I made a covenant (Eze.16:8 below) with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,  \n\nEze.16:8Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee (Jer.34:13 above, Jer.31:32 below), saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine (Isa.54:5 below).\n\n1 Cor.10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that ALL our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea (Ex.14:22 below);\n\n1 Cor.10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;\n\n1 Cor.10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;\n\n1 Cor.10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them (Ex.14:19 below): and that Rock was Christ.\n\nIsa.54:5For thy Maker is thine husband (Jer.3:14 below); the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.\n\nJer.3:14Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you (Isa.54:5 above): and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:\n\n\nDivorcement -\n\nIsa.50:1 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? (Jer.3:8 below) or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. \n\nJer.3:8And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce (Isa.50:1 above); yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. \n\nJer.3:9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. \n\nJer.3:10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. \n\nJer.3:11And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel (Jer.3:12 below) hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. \n\nJer.3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever (Isa.43:25 above).\n \nJer.3:13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God (Isa.54:5 above), and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice (Heb.12:25 below), saith the LORD.\n\nJer.31:32Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake (Eze.16:8 above), although I WAS an husband unto them (Isa.54:5, Jer.3:14 above), saith the Lord:\n\nHeb.12:25See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.  For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth (Jesus), much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from Him (God the Father - Col.1:3) THAT SPE

In Matthew 27:15-26 it states that the Jewish leaders among the crowd persuaded the crowd to call for Jesus's crucifixion instead of Barabas's.\n\nAn interesting theory that I've read is that some believed that Barabas was the messiah that the Jews had been watching for to deliver them from the rule of the Romans. I've not read anything to give that concrete validity, but it's an interesting theory.
