Crusaders

The trigger for the First Crusade was Emperor Alexius I's appeal to Pope Urban II for mercenaries to help him resist Muslim advances into territory of the Byzantine Empire. However, the Pope called for a large invasion force to not merely defend the Byzantine Empire but also retake Jerusalem.

Proceeding down the Mediterranean coast, the crusaders encountered little resistance, as local rulers preferred to make peace with them and furnish them with supplies rather than fight. On 7th June 1099, the Crusaders reached Jerusalem, with just 12,000 men including 1,500 cavalry remaining, by some estimates. With insufficient troops, supplies, and time, they had no hope of blockading the city, and so resolved to take the city by assault.

In their first assault, they were able to scale the outer wall but were repulsed from the inner one. Their morale was raised when a priest, Peter Desiderius, claimed to have had a divine vision instructing them to fast and then march in a barefoot procession around the city walls, after which the city would fall, following the biblical story of Joshua's siege of Jericho.

The final assault began on 13th July, as one group attacked the south gate and other contingents attacked the northern wall. Initially the troops at the southern gate made little headway, but the contingents at the northern wall fared better, with a slow but steady attrition of the defence. On 15th July, a final push was launched at both ends of the city, and eventually the inner rampart of the northern wall was captured. In the ensuing panic, the defenders abandoned the walls of the city at both ends, allowing the Crusaders to enter.

The Crusaders set about a massacre of the entire population, whether Christian, Jew or Muslim, with one report saying that God would decide their fate in heaven. However, some historians believe that the scale of the massacre has probably been exaggerated.

Solomon's temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 72 AD. It stood on Mt. Moriah. It has not been rebuilt. There are prophesies that predict it will be rebuilt when the remnant returns to the land. The old prophesies predict that unlike the old temple, the new temple will be built on Mt. Zion because Mt. Moriah has been given to a different people.

The Dome of the Rock is located in Jerusalem at the foot of the Mount of Olives. It is basically a shrine with a Gold Dome Roof. It is said that Mohammad flew to Heaven on a winged horse from this same exact spot. It is the third most holy landmark in the Muslim religion. Mecca is the first most holy place. Medina is the second most holy place and The Dome of The Rock is the third. Incidentally, the Dome of The Rock is in the exact same spot that the Jewish Temple has been two previous times before. In The Holy Bible God advised Solomon that the Temple was to be erected on that one particular site and no where else. These places are called holy, but nothing can be truly holy other than God.

The Dome of the Rock is an Islamic shrine built on the place where, according to Islamic tradition, Muhammed ascended into Heaven. It was completed in 691 CE, making it the oldest existing Islamic building in the world. The dome of the rock contains a mosque known as the El-Aqsa mosque which, according to Islamic belief, was built by the Prophet Jacob, son of Isaac. The site's significance stems from the religious beliefs regarding the rock at its heart, known as the Foundation Stone in Judaism.

Jewish tradition holds that the Dome of the Rock is built on or near the location of Solomon's temple.

The Dome of the Rock is located at the visual center of a platform known as the Temple Mount, which Muslims refer to as the "Noble Sanctuary". It was constructed over the site of the Second Jewish Temple which was destroyed during the Roman Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE.

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.
