JERUSALEM Yesterday, Today and Forever - Ronald D Kelly - March 1983

Jerusalem - one of the most historically interesting cities of the - past - one of the most fascinating cities today. Here also revealed is Jerusalem's future! FROM the Mount of Olives, the panorama of Jerusalem is one of earth's most inspiring skylines. Picture the sun setting over the modern city structures with the golden Dome of the Rock slowly fading into the foreground darkness. It is a view, once seen, never to be forgotten. One can barely imagine the jam-packed events of history that took place in this ancient city. Since its establishment, Jerusalem has been ravaged by war, rebuilt, burned, rebuilt, ransacked, rebuilt, torn to pieces again and rebuilt more than almost any city on earth. Three of the most beautiful buildings that have ever been constructed have glistened in the sunlight of Jerusalem: the temple of Solomon, the temple built by Herod that stood in the days of Jesus, and the nearly 1,300-year-old Dome of the Rock that stands on the temple mount. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
