Jerusalem

It's positioned in the Middle East, a recognized geographical region of western Asia. The country is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, Gulf of Aqaba, Dead Sea, Sea of Galilee, Jordan River, and by the countries of Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria.

As of 2010, 12,000.

Jerusalem was divided by the Armistices of 1949 between Israeli and Jordanian occupation. The majority of the city, including all of the Old City, (East Jerusalem) was controlled by Jordan and annexed to the Kingdom as part of the West Bank. The Israelis controlled the West of the City and established it as their capital.

Internationally, the Israeli control of Jerusalem was recognized as legitimate even though the movement of the capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was not recognized internationally. The Jordanian occupation of East Jerusalem was recognized by less than five nations.

King David.

When he was a young lad he was sent by his father to check on his brothers who were serving with King Saul's army. He accepted the challenge of Goliath for one on one combat to settle the battle between Saul and the Philistines. He found Saul's armour to heavy but defeated Goliath with a sling and stone in the Valley of Ela. (1st Samuel - Chapter 17)

He went on to be Saul's son in law, confidant of Jonathan (Saul's son), and (estranged) member of Saul's court. David eventually succeeded Saul. He reigned for 7 years in Hebron and then established his capital in Jerusalem where he reigned for 33 years.)

He was succeeded by his son Solomon who built the First Temple.

Yes. You have that completely accurate.

Jerusalem is located in Israel, which is in the Middle East. The State of Palestine claims East Jerusalem, which includes a number of modern Arab neighborhoods and the Old City.

There is much discussion concerning Jerusalem's proper legal nature and ownership:

Today, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel annexed East Jerusalem and considers it a part of Israel, although the international community has rejected the annexation as illegal and considers East Jerusalem occupied territory. The international community does not recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and most foreign embassies are located in Tel Aviv and its suburbs. Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of a future Palestinian state. Israel, however, considers the entire city to be a part of Israel following its annexation of East Jerusalem through the Jerusalem Law of 1980.

As an independent modern country: May 14, 1948.

The city has holy sites that are important to multiple religions.

Jerusalem certainly has holy sites of the three major monotheistic religions and adherents of those religions living within its walls, but depending on how "home" is defined, this may or may not qualify. The leadership of all Christian Churches and all Islamic Mosques in Jerusalem are governed by councils operating outside of Jerusalem, so the homes of those religions can be as far away as Rome, Addis Ababa, or Mecca. Based on that, only Judaism has its home and central apparatus in Jerusalem. Other religions have a presence and wonderful sites, but not a home, even if the people of those religions have made Jerusalem their home.

Aramaic, Ancient Greek, and Latin would have been the dominant languages in Jerusalem during Jesus' life.

It is the Israeli Parliament
the Knesset is the cabinet of Israel. it is the group of 120 people to make the Israeli government.

Jerusalem is where Islam's third most holy site, The Mosque of Al-Aqsa, is located. For Jews, Jerusalem is important because it is the site of their holiest place, the temple mount. For Christians it is important because Jesus was crucified, buried and rose from the dead in Jerusalem. Muslims, Jews and Christians all come to Jerusalem on pilgrimages to see it.

Yom Kippur

King Richard the lion heart fell sick for three months. During that time the Europeans suffered from lack of organization and no definite leader, so Saladain retook Jerusalem.

Eight people is the classic answer because most people do not read with the intent to find deeper meaning. In Genesis chapter 7, verses 13-16 (KJV) give a detail description of all who were listed upon the ark. Most were sent in by two except for those of "clean" animals which would be set aside for sacrifice and they went in by 7. (Note: all information is brought forth from the Bible- King James Version)

Verse 13, it gives the names of Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth and their wives. This is where most people would answer, 8. However, as one who studied Foreign Language, I understand the Bible is a translated work. The original Scripture was written in Hebrew. Therefore, I was curious for more of a mechanical view so I researched each of the English words for a deeper meaning in the Hebrew language. It was not until the 15th verse that a revelation of more people upon the ark.

"And they (the animal life listed in verse 14) went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life."

"...two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life." is the key here. In Hebrew, the word breath is ruach. Ruach occurs 389 times in the Old Testament. In each instance, it was given to show characteristic of the following: God, Holy Spirit, mankind, and angels. It denotes "invisible force" or the psychological of a being. This was given to mankind from God, the Creator of all things (See the book of John, chapter 1) Although, animal life, e.g. a cow, does breathe air and would die without air, it does not have a soul. There is possibility, there are those who may believe that animals do have a soul however I base my thought from faith in the written WORD of God.

Therefore, it is my contention that the "two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life" are those of the Gentile people as would be known later by the children of Israel. Remember, the children of Israel where a chosen people from the Messiah would come from to bring salvation to all nations, kindred, tongues. Maybe, this will give a better appreciation of the genealogies scribed in the Word of God. It shows the family lineage from which Jesus was born. (Matthew chapter 1 -royal lineage and Luke 3- natural lineage)

Jerusalem is considered Holy by Jews, Christians, & Muslims alike. For Jews, it is where their temples were built; for Christians it was where Christ Rose from the Dead; for Muslims, it is where Muhammad a dream where he ascended to Heaven.
