1) Caliph Umar entered Jerusalem peacefully in 634 CE and granted protection and religious freedom to Christians in the city.
2) Under Muslim rule, Christians, Jews, and Muslims generally lived together in shared peace and prosperity in Jerusalem.
3) The Crusaders brutally massacred the city's population of 70,000 people when they captured Jerusalem in 1099 CE, in stark contrast to the peaceful Muslim conquest centuries earlier.
The documentary examines the Crusades between Christians and Muslims from the 11th to 13th centuries over control of holy sites in Jerusalem. It explores both the religious motivations for the bloody conflicts as well as the political and economic factors, as both sides sought to defend their faiths and control important trade routes. While the Crusades ended militarily in the 13th century, their legacy lives on in the charged language used today to describe religiously-motivated conflicts.
This document provides historical context for the political, religious, and social conditions in Israel between the Old and New Testaments. It describes how Israel went from being a province of Persia to falling under Greek rule after Alexander the Great's conquest. The land was then divided and ruled by the Ptolemies and Seleucids, placing the Jews under constant rule changes. It also details the persecution of Jews under Antiochus IV, including the desecration of the Temple, and the rise of the Maccabees in response. Finally, it discusses the corrupt rule of the Maccabees and the tyrannical rule of Herod the Great over the region at the time of Jesus' birth.
This document summarizes the history of the replacement of Hebrewism by Judaism from around 280-133 BC. It describes how the Maccabees fought to retain their Judahite heritage against the Greeks and Romans. It then explains how the Idumeans, led by Antipater, were able to gain power and influence in Judah, eventually overthrowing the hereditary dynasty and installing Herod as king. This led to the usurpation of the throne of Judah and priesthood by non-Judahites, replacing Hebrewism with the new religion of Judaism dominated by Pharisees and Idumeans rather than the original Judahites.
The document discusses events leading up to the British taking control of Jerusalem in 1917 from the Ottoman Turks, marking the fulfillment of the scattering of the true Israelite nations. It describes how this set the stage for the abomination of desolation and decline of the true Israelite powers. It also summarizes how various groups worked to condition Christians to accept the Zionist state in Palestine, including the British Israel movement, Scofield, and secret societies.

This document summarizes the life of Saladin and the political context in which he rose to power in the late 12th century. It describes how the region of Syria and Egypt was fragmented and weak, occupied by Crusaders. Saladin was born in 1138 in what is now Iraq to a family with military connections. He accompanied his uncle Shirkuh on campaigns in Egypt, which enabled Saladin to eventually seize control of Egypt as vizier in 1169 after Shirkuh's death. Becoming vizier had a profound effect on Saladin and spurred him to devote himself to liberating Jerusalem and resisting the Crusaders.

It also examines specific Israelite tribal origins of place names like Denmark, Russia, and regions in Germany. The migrations were spurred by invasions from groups like the Huns, Avars, and Mongols continually driving the Israelite tribes further west.
1) Antiochus IV, ruler of the Seleucid Empire, sought to suppress Jewish traditions and impose Greek culture, desecrating the Temple and forbidding Jewish rituals.
2) Judah Maccabee led a rebellion against Antiochus with a small group of followers. Through guerrilla tactics including an ambush, they were able to defeat a much larger Seleucid army led by Nicanor.
3) After their victory, the Maccabees rededicated the Temple and found that a single day's worth of sacred oil miraculously lasted eight days, commemorated today as the festival of Hanukkah.

This document discusses evidence supporting the Ethiopian tradition that the Ark of the Covenant was brought to Ethiopia in 950 BC by Menelik, son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. It summarizes the account in the Kebra Nagast, an Ethiopian epic compiled in 1314 AD, which describes how the eldest sons of Solomon's kingdom stole the Ark and fled to Ethiopia with Menelik. It argues this tradition is supported by inscriptions on incense burners in an Ethiopian church, and that the tradition explains discrepancies in archaeological evidence about the location of pre-586 BC Israel described in the Old Testament.

Daniel receives a vision revealing a great conflict between good and evil that would affect God's people in the last days. Though the vision was given in the third year of Cyrus' rule, its meaning was not fully understood until later. Daniel mourned and fasted for three weeks seeking greater understanding of what he had seen regarding the restoration of God's people and sanctuary. His strict diet and abstinence from luxuries during this time helped sharpen his mind to discern the Holy Spirit's revelations. The vision in chapter 10 provides further explanation of the restoration outlined in Daniel 8-9.
King yoshiyahu with story and my say for symbolism and signs .Deepak Somaji-Sawant
1) The kinah (lamentation) about King Yoshiyohu's death seems out of place on Tisha B'Av since he died before the destruction of the Temple.
2) However, there are several reasons why his death is still commemorated: a) His death was a national tragedy even if before the Temple's destruction. b) His death was a punishment for the nation's idolatry and a sign that destruction was coming. c) As the righteous king, his death represented the loss of the people's best chance to repent before the Temple's destruction.
The Battle For Jerusalem Has Begun! - Prophecy in the News Magazine - Nov 1996miscott57
The document discusses recent events in Jerusalem that appear to fulfill a prophecy by Zechariah. It summarizes:

The era ended when the Roman general Pompey invaded Judea and made it a Roman province in 63 BC, ending the Hasmonean Dynasty.
The Folly of a Palestinian State - Prophecy In The News Magazine - November...miscott57
1) Establishing a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital poses grave dangers according to the author. It would legitimize Arab claims to all of Israel and make Jerusalem a prime target for conquest.
2) Once Jerusalem is captured, the Arabs would likely destroy Jewish and Christian historical sites and rid the Middle East of all non-Muslims, following their previous conquests. The fall of Jerusalem could devastate Judaism and Christianity.
3) Dividing Jerusalem ignores the city's profound religious and historical significance to Judaism. Surrendering control of Jerusalem would undermine Israel's legitimacy and national identity.

The zionist palestinian conflict -an alternative storyMohammad Ihmeidan
1) The document provides an alternative narrative of the Zionist-Palestinian conflict that challenges mainstream media representations. It analyzes Zionist ideology from a Palestinian perspective as a colonial settler movement.
2) Zionism viewed Palestinians as an obstacle in the way of establishing a Jewish state and implementing the slogan of "a land without people for people without land." This ideology led to massacres, dispossession, and the denial of Palestinian existence and rights.
3) Palestinian resistance was seen by Zionists as "illegitimate" and "terrorism," similar to terms used against resistance in Apartheid South Africa. Zionism fought against a representative Palestinian government that could uphold Arab majority rule and threaten the Zionist project.

In the 19th century, Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire with a population that was around 4% Jewish, 8% Christian and majority Muslim. There was no conflict between religious communities. In the late 1800s, Jews faced persecution in Europe which led Britain to agree to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine in 1917. After Britain gained control of Palestine in 1918, a new wave of Zionist immigration began and tensions rose between immigrants and Palestinians throughout the 1920s and 1930s over control of the land. The Palestinian revolt from 1936-1939 aimed to stop immigration and gain independence but was crushed by Britain, leaving thousands of Palestinians killed or expelled from their villages.
This document provides a historical overview of the Israel-Palestine conflict from the 19th century to present day. It describes how Jewish immigration to Palestine increased in the late 1800s due to antisemitism in Europe. After World War 1, Britain agreed to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, contradicting the wishes of the indigenous Palestinian population. Violence increased throughout the 1920s-1940s as Palestinians resisted Zionist settlement and control over their land. The UN partition of 1947 led to war and the mass displacement of Palestinians known as the Nakba. Ongoing issues include illegal Israeli settlements, the blockade of Gaza, and denial of Palestinian rights and self-determination.
This document introduces the topic of the Deir Yassin massacre and subsequent revisionist attempts to deny it occurred. It outlines the key events of the massacre, where Irgun and Lehi militias killed over 100 Palestinian civilians in April 1948. A 1998 tract by the Zionist Organization of America claims the massacre was fabricated. The document argues this revisionism is dishonest and aims to refute the well-established facts of the massacre by blaming victims and excusing perpetrators. It maintains the massacre was a tragic event that remains important to understand ongoing conflicts in the region.
This document is a tribute to the innocent civilians who were killed in Gaza during the 2008-2009 Israeli offensive.

This document provides a historical summary of Palestine before the creation of Israel:
- Canaanite civilization occupied the land from 3000-1100 BC, and those who remained became a mix of peoples including descendants of ancient Canaanites.
- Beginning in the 7th century AD, Palestine became predominantly Arab and Islamic.
- While Jewish kingdoms briefly ruled parts of the land from 1000-586 BC, they were only one of many groups to control the area over thousands of years, and the extended kingdoms only lasted around 73 years.
- By the 16th century, Palestine was firmly established as a predominantly Arab and Islamic province under Ottoman rule, though small Jewish immigration began in the late 19th century.
1. The Templar Knights were formed in 1118 AD after Christian pilgrims were massacred in Jerusalem to protect pilgrims making the dangerous journey. They took quarters near the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which was located near Solomon's Temple.
2. Saladin's armies defeated the Templars and reclaimed Jerusalem for Islam in 1187. The Templars amassed great wealth through donations but also went into debt to European monarchs.
3. King Philip IV of France had the Templars arrested, tortured, and killed in 1307 to avoid repaying debts and seize their wealth. While charges of heresy were leveled, there was no solid evidence and their lands and
The document discusses the origins and history of the Knights Templars and their connection to Freemasonry. It claims that the Templars discovered esoteric teachings during their time in Jerusalem that turned them away from Christianity. They grew extremely wealthy and powerful through banking and trade before being arrested for heresy. Though officially dissolved, the Templars survived secretly and went on to establish Freemasonry, imparting their symbols, rituals and beliefs. Many similarities are cited between Freemasonry and the medieval Knights Templar organization.
The Crusades were military campaigns sanctioned by the Catholic Church between the 11th and 15th centuries with the goal of regaining Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule. Growing concern over the safety of Christian pilgrimages to Jerusalem due to the growing Seljuk Turkish empire led Pope Urban II to call for the First Crusade in 1095. The First Crusade succeeded in taking Jerusalem in 1099 but the city was re-taken by Saladin in 1187, spurring the Third Crusade led by Richard the Lionheart. While the Crusades failed to reclaim the Holy Land long-term, they increased trade and cultural exchange between Europe and the Middle East.
A brief overview of why the crusades started and some of the more important ones. It also looks at their influence and has some links to watch short videos.
The Crusades were a series of wars launched by European Christians against Muslims to regain control of holy sites in the Middle East. There were nine Crusades from 1095 to 1291 that aimed to retake Jerusalem from Muslim rule. The First Crusade succeeded in capturing Jerusalem in 1099 and established the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. Subsequent Crusades were launched in response to Muslim reconquests of Crusader territories, such as the Second Crusade after the fall of Edessa and the Third Crusade after Saladin recaptured Jerusalem in 1187. The Fourth Crusade unexpectedly sacked the Christian city of Constantinople instead of going to the Holy Land.
The document provides a summary of the Crusades between the 11th and 13th centuries. It describes how the Pope called European Christians to aid the Byzantine Empire against Muslim expansion. The First Crusade recaptured Jerusalem in 1099 but it was later lost. Subsequent Crusades were largely unsuccessful and caused conflict between Christians. The Fourth Crusade sacked Constantinople in 1204, weakening Byzantium. Other Crusades achieved only brief and limited victories against Muslim rulers.
This document summarizes the religious significance of Jerusalem to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It describes how the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven from the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and how the city became sacred to Muslims. It outlines the history of Jerusalem under Islamic rule, including its peaceful conquest by Caliph Omar, and the later barbaric Crusader invasion and massacre. It concludes by describing Saladin's retaking of the city and restoration of Islamic justice and tolerance.
By 750, most of Spain was controlled by Muslim Moors. In 1093, the Byzantine emperor asked the Pope for help retaking Jerusalem from Muslim rule. The Pope issued a call for the First Crusade, promising forgiveness of sins and rewards in heaven for those who fought. Eyewitness accounts described the brutal battle for Jerusalem, estimating at least 10,000 Muslim infidels were slain within the Temple enclosure and thousands more throughout the city. In 1187, Saladin, a Muslim leader, retook Jerusalem for Islam.
This document provides an overview of the key similarities between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. It notes that Islam shares concepts that will be familiar to Westerners, such as belief in one God, recognition of important figures from the Bible like Adam and Moses, and the view that Muhammad was the final prophet delivering God's message in the Qur'an. The document aims to provide a simple introduction to Islam by highlighting its connections to the Abrahamic faiths that many Westerners are more familiar with.
The high medieval age and its troublesafrancksjrcs
The document provides an overview of the High Medieval period in Europe from 1000-1400 CE. It describes several major crises that impacted European civilization during this time, including the Crusades, the Black Death plague, and the Hundred Years' War. These disasters sharply reduced the European population and caused an economic decline that lasted over 150 years, challenging the existing feudal system and agriculture-based economy.
Facts of the city of Jerusalem, the most controversial piece of land in the world, more specifically the Old City and Temple Mount. Despite the overwhelming evidence that it is the land of the Israelites, it is unbelievable that UNESCO has decided that the Temple Mount has no connection with historic Israel, all because of over 50 Muslim Nations hard pressuring on the Islamic conquest of Israel and occupying it for centuries. With so much of archaeological proof of this land with Israeli history for over 3000+ years, who can believe the false claim of the Muslim world - that religion having come into existence just 1000 years ago. Their claim over Jerusalem is the furthermost thing from the truth. It is the moral obligation of all Christians to stand with Israel as the rightful custodian and people of Jerusalem, as it is the heart of Christianity's Holy Land.
The document provides an overview of the rise of Islam and the Crusades between Western and Islamic civilizations from the 7th-15th centuries AD. It discusses the origins and spread of Islam under Muhammad, the Islamic Golden Age and conquests. It then covers the launching of the Crusades by European Christians to retake the Holy Land, the various Crusader states established, and impacts such as the introduction of knowledge from Islam and Greece to Europe.
The document discusses the origins and beliefs of Kabbalah and its influence on the Knights Templar. It claims that Kabbalah originated from ancient Egyptian pagan beliefs and philosophies that were introduced to the Israelites. Some key points:
- Kabbalah incorporated concepts like a pluralistic view of God and the divinity of humans that contradicted Jewish monotheism and were similar to Egyptian paganism.
- The Knights Templar came into contact with Kabbalah while in Jerusalem and may have adopted some of its mystical doctrines. This could explain their later apostasy from Christianity.
- The document suggests Kabbalah, the Templars, and later Freemasonry maintained the suprem
The document provides an overview of Israel, including its demographics, socio-cultural aspects, legal/bureaucratic environment, and economic climate. It notes that Israel has a population of over 6 million Jews and over 1.5 million Arabs. Culturally, Israel contains a diverse, multi-ethnic society with Jews and Arabs maintaining their unique identities. Israel has a parliamentary legal system based on western principles with courts that oversee civil, criminal, military, and religious matters. Economically, Israel is a leader in new technologies and partnerships with countries like India.
The document provides historical context on the end of Jewish independence and the beginning of Roman rule in Judea. It discusses how internal conflicts between Jewish leaders Hyrcanus II and Aristobolus II led the Roman general Pompey to intervene and capture Jerusalem in 63 BCE, ending the Hasmonean dynasty and Jewish self-rule. Pompey installed Hyrcanus II as high priest but not king, and divided Judea into five regions under Roman administration. The Roman Empire then ruled over Judea through client kings and procurators. During this time, many Jews and pagans anticipated the coming of a promised Messiah.
The document discusses the history of the Crusades from 1095 to 1291 AD. It began when the Pope called on European warriors to help retake Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule. There were nine major Crusades over almost two centuries that aimed to defeat Muslim forces and establish Christian control, but they ultimately failed and Muslim rule was restored. The Crusades exposed Europeans to new cultures and increased trade between Europe and the Middle East.
The kidneys filter waste from the bloodstream and regulate water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. They remove urea and other waste through urine while producing hormones like erythropoietin and renin. The kidneys contain nephrons which filter blood in the glomerulus and reabsorb nutrients in the tubules. Urine is transported by the ureters to the bladder, then exits through the urethra. The urinary system develops from intermediate mesoderm through pronephros, mesonephros, and metanephros stages, with the metanephros becoming the adult kidneys.
This document discusses multiparametric MRI and its use in guiding prostate biopsies. It provides information on anatomic, diffusion-weighted, and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and how they help visualize prostate tumors with high sensitivity and specificity. It then describes different approaches to targeted prostate biopsies using MRI information, including cognitive fusion, software-based fusion, and in-bore fusion biopsies. It discusses limitations and advantages of each method and concludes that while targeted biopsies improve cancer detection, mapping biopsies supplemented with targeted biopsies remain the standard for identifying clinically significant tumors.
Renal cell carcinoma accounts for approximately 3% of adult solid malignancies in the US, with over 51,000 new cases and 12,900 deaths annually. It arises from renal tubular epithelium and includes several subtypes associated with different genetic mutations and prognoses. Surgery is the main treatment for localized disease, while advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma has a poor prognosis despite newer targeted therapies and immunotherapies that have improved outcomes.
The major components of the male reproductive system are the testes, epididymis, ductus deferens, and ejaculatory duct on each side. The scrotum contains the testes and is divided into two compartments. The testes develop in the abdomen and descend into the scrotum before birth. Within the testes are seminiferous tubules that produce sperm. The epididymis is a coiled duct that courses along the testes where sperm mature. Blood flows into the testes via the testicular artery and drains via the testicular veins. The penis contains three cylinders of erectile tissue and transmits semen and urine.
This document provides information about testicular tumors including presentation, risk factors, classification, staging, and treatment. It begins with an introduction stating that testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in males aged 15-35. It then discusses signs and symptoms, risk factors such as cryptorchidism and family history, tumor markers, patterns of spread, staging classifications, and treatment options based on stage for both seminomas and non-seminomas. Treatment may involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, lymph node dissection, and surveillance depending on tumor type and stage. Prognosis has improved significantly over time with overall 5-year survival rates now over 95% due to advances in diagnosis and treatment.
This document summarizes key points about vesicoureteral reflux (VUR):
- VUR is retrograde flow of urine from the bladder to the upper urinary tract and is more common in females under 5 years old. It can be primary due to UVJ deficiency or secondary to bladder issues.
- VUR is graded I-V based on VCUG findings. Low grade (I-III) often resolves spontaneously while high grade (IV-V) is less likely to without intervention. Treatment involves watchful waiting with antibiotics or surgical correction.
- Surgical correction aims to lengthen the UVJ tunnel to satisfy a 5:1 ratio using various techniques. Endoscopic injection
Wilms tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is the most common renal tumor of childhood. It has an annual incidence of 7.6 cases per million children under 15 years old. Treatment involves surgery to remove the tumor along with chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy in a multimodal approach. The goal is to remove the tumor bulk surgically while using chemotherapy to eliminate any micrometastases in order to cure the cancer. Protocols vary depending on factors like age, tumor stage and histology, but generally include either surgery followed by chemotherapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery, with excellent long-term survival rates with modern therapies.
Bladder injuries can occur from trauma or medical procedures and range from extraperitoneal to intraperitoneal. Extraperitoneal injuries make up 70% of cases and are often associated with pelvic fractures, while intraperitoneal injuries expose the bladder more directly. Clinical signs include hematuria, pelvic pain, and inability to catheterize. Diagnosis involves cystography to detect contrast leakage. Treatment depends on the severity and location of the injury, with uncomplicated extraperitoneal injuries often managed conservatively with catheter drainage and complicated or intraperitoneal injuries typically requiring surgical repair.
This document discusses urethral trauma, including classification, etiology, clinical manifestations, investigations, and principles of management. It separates discussions of posterior and anterior urethral injuries. For posterior injuries, immediate suprapubic cystostomy is standard, while delayed reconstruction is typically done via open posterior urethroplasty after 3 months. Anterior injuries may be treated with catheter diversion or primary realignment, while anastomotic urethroplasty is preferred for obliterated bulbar urethras after several weeks.
The rigid cystoscope and its accessories are described. Key components include the cystoscope sheath, bridges, obturators, and telescopes. The cystoscope sheath comes in different sizes measured in French and is used to intoduce the rigid cystoscope into the bladder. Bridges connect the sheath to the telescope and may have one or two accessory channels. Obturators are specific to each sheath size and make the tip smooth for insertion. Telescopes have different viewing angles and are classified by this. The document outlines the parts and uses of these rigid cystoscope components.
Urinary stones are the third most common problem of the urinary tract. Stone formation is a complex process that depends on the interaction of urinary concentration of ions, pH, flow rate, and inhibitors. Crystallization, crystal growth, aggregation, and adherence to the epithelium are required steps. Urine must be supersaturated for stones to form, but supersaturation alone is insufficient due to urinary inhibitors like citrate, magnesium, and glycoproteins. Common calcium stones may originate from subepithelial plaques that serve as anchors for stone growth.
Post-obstructive diuresis occurs after relief of a urinary tract obstruction, where large amounts of salt, water, and urea are excreted in the urine. It is caused by accumulation of fluids and solutes during obstruction and impairment of tubular reabsorption capabilities. Risk factors include edema and azotemia. The pathophysiology involves derangements in urinary concentrating ability due to disrupted aquaporin channels and sodium transport, as well as insensitivity to ADH. Treatment focuses on complete relief of obstruction, fluid replacement, electrolyte correction, and monitoring.
The kidney has several important functions including regulating blood pressure, fluid balance, and blood pH. The basic structural and functional unit of the kidney is the nephron, which filters blood to form urine. Each nephron contains a glomerulus for blood filtration and tubules (proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule, collecting duct) for reabsorption and secretion. Filtration occurs due to blood pressure gradients, with most filtrate reabsorbed along the nephron. The kidneys also produce hormones like renin, prostaglandins, and erythropoietin to help regulate blood pressure, red blood cell production, and other processes.
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction caused by the sudden release of mast cell and basophil mediators. It can be triggered by IgE-mediated or non-IgE mediated mechanisms. Common triggers include medications like antibiotics and contrast dyes, as well as stings, foods and latex. Symptoms affect multiple organ systems like the skin, respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Treatment involves stopping the trigger, supportive care, and medications like epinephrine, antihistamines and corticosteroids. Patients require monitoring for 24 hours due to risk of recurrence or delayed reactions.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
