Jerusalem is a powder keg, loaded with nuclear potential! No city on Earth is so fraught with international tension as Jerusalem!
Not only does this ancient city play a central role in the beliefs of the three major religions—Judaism, Islam and Christianity—it is a powerful nationalist symbol for both Arabs and Jews.
Today the Israelis and Palestinians are in a bloody deadlock over who will control Jerusalem. They have tried for decades now to resolve their many differences through negotiation and compromise. But their talks always break down over Jerusalem!
This is an impossible problem with no resolution that will be acceptable to all parties. As one analyst put it, “A peace between the Arabs and Jews that does not resolve the question of Jerusalem will be no peace. Indeed, a peace that weakens the Jews by returning the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights to Arab control but leaves Jerusalem as an unresolved dispute will make war more not less likely. … The assumption of the diplomats that all things can be solved by negotiation underestimates the emotions involved. Jerusalem is nonnegotiable” (Islamic Affairs Analyst, June 1, 1993). That means there is no peaceful solution.
The situation is very bad in Jerusalem today, but your Bible says it will get much worse before it gets better.
