This portion of the lyric of the song Holy City stuck in our minds each time we mention Jerusalem (Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם Yerushaláyim) (Arabic: القُدس al-Quds)
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Lift up your gates and sing,
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna to your King!
This is the city where our Lord triumphantly enters on Palm Sunday, the city where the Lord has His last supper, the city where our Lord was arrested by the temple guards, faced the trial in front of Sanhedrin and then from Pontius Pilatus, the city where our Lord was sentenced to death but not before He suffered the sadistic flagellation and crowned with thorns, carried His cross along Via Dolorosa and the city where our Lord was crucified and later resurrected on the third day, gave us the Holy Spirit and our great commission before He ascended up to heaven.
We pray for peace in this holy city and for the Christians brothers and sisters here to be able to live in their homes, own lands and freely worship and practice their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Peace in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour

Jericho, in the steps of our Lord Jesus Christ
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 at 9:05pm
I was going to write this note sooner but for some reason or another, now it's the right time to do it. In comparison to several other places in the West Bank I found out that Jericho is one of my favorite place to visit. An oasis in the Arava Jordan, and a holy place because Lord Jesus steps on this land and gave us eternal life through His grace.
Jericho (Arabic: أريحا) is a city located near the Jordan River in the West Bank of the Palestinian territories. Situated well below sea level on an east-west route 16 kilometers north of the Dead Sea, Jericho is the lowest permanently inhabited site on earth. It is also believed to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities of the world.
For me, I focused on the Gospel of Jesus Christ in thinking about Jericho.Mark 10:46-52 Blind Bartimaeus Receives His SightThen they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means "son of Timaeus"), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you." Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see." "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
How we love to be Bartimeus to throw away our full of sin vengeance and fear cloaks, receive our sight and peace back, made whole and follow Him wherever He go.
and also in that Parable of the Good Samaritan; Luke 10: 25-37"A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead with no clothes. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, and he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, he too passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and looked after him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' "Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
Very well, the Lord has commanded us to do likewise, then by all means we shall do likewise

This is a very good subject my brother.I shall pray for you guys on this work.I have not check out the Wikipedia Hebrew articles on Christianity.But I assumed from your information that there are only but a few.Meanwhile there is a strong anti-God, atheist, irreligious and humanist stance on Wikipedia English articles.The sentiment from those opposing the Word of God there is so strong, their wording sounds like the Chinese Revolutionary Youth back in 1949 on the big purge. From my view they have declared war on Christians.Please stay safe there in Terrae Sancta, good Christian Soldier.

Thank you so much,Ricardo!There are indeed just a few articles on Christianity in the Hebrew Wikipedia, and most are written in an awefully incorrect manner.Latlely it seems like most non-Christians have indeed declared war on us.It's scary how exetreme they can sound.Indeed like some fundamentel anti-liberty group from way back.I mean-even musolini wanted a Catholic Fascist Italy,and was tolarent to all Religions!

Just go take a a look at definition of God in the English wikipedia.Wow, surprise.. surprise there we see that thrice married, twice divorced Richard Dawkins opinion stated in there. Why? Because their atheist/ irreligious supporter feels good about seeing their opinion written on this information site.Nowadays they would deem anybody objecting to their opinion as either fundamentalist or idiots. Moreover if you discuss the downside of Darwinism.Why can't people write their opinion on the Origin of Species in ENG Wikipedia. Its closely guarded I tell you.I say those people are doing hate crime.
