Jewish and Returning again to the Jerusalem

1. Jerusalem and Crusades

Excuse to Crusades, which continued for two centuries and several times, was the differences between Muslims and Christians about the holy places. The gates of the Jerusalem, which had been occupied by Muslims in the first century AH, were open to the Christians for pilgrimage until the early fifth century AH. At the time some problems were created in the way of Christian pilgrims and finally the Seljuks, after the conquest of the Jerusalem, closed the way of pilgrimage to the Christians. In the same years, Empire "Byzantine" was also threatened by Muslims and this led him to ask help Moroccan Christians and Pope Urban II called on his followers to jihad and conquest of Jerusalem. Disorganization and instability left their impact and Christians in the first Crusade, in the year 492 AH, occupied Jerusalem and founded Latin kingdom of Jerusalem in the heart of the Muslim world, in the Sham and Palestine and until the year 583 AH, when Saladin retook Jerusalem, ruled in some Islamic countries. After that, their rule lasted over a hundred years, although with a very limited range.

2. Jerusalem in recent centuries

After a while, with the advent of "Turkey" Ottoman Sultans and their influence in the Muslim countries, Jerusalem was also occupied by them. The domination of the Ottoman Empire was continued for four centuries and a half in Jerusalem and all over Palestine. In the late nineteenth century, numerous riots were created in Jerusalem and especially in Jerusalem. The British government policy, which until then was concentrated on the protection and preservation of the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire in Asia, suddenly changed and became a power against the Ottoman government. The British government, with the help of their policies could take the Palestine tutelage in 1917. After a while, some of the Jews introduced the idea of the Jewish nation and began some actions to establishment an independent country for settle the nation, which these actions were encouraged seriously by the British government. They start to get financial assistance from wealthy Jews and formed a party to advance their own purposes and called it the party of Zion, which is a mountain near Jerusalem. They sought to achieve their long-standing goal, the return to Jerusalem and establishment the ancient nation of Israel.
At the beginning of the Jewish movement, more than forty thousand Jews immigrated to the land. In 1948, the state of Israel was created with occupation large parts of Palestine in East Mediterranean.

3. Why return to Jerusalem

Evangelists in America and English believe that in order to Christ reappear, the followers of Christ Presbyterian Church must fulfill several demands of their Christ, which are presented in interpretations of the holy book in twentieth century as the Bible predictions. This emerging Protestantism is known as Christian Zionism. According to the beliefs of this doctrine, some things have to happen to Christ reappear and the followers of this doctrine have a religious obligation to try to accelerate the realization of these events. Some of these events include:
1- Jews should come from around the world to "Palestine" and Israel should be established in an area between the "Nile" and "Euphrates" rivers. Jews, who immigrate to Israel, they will attain salvation.
2- Jews should destroy the mosques of "Al-Aqsa" and "Jerusalem" and instead, rebuild the "Temple of Solomon". That is why from 1967 to now; the mosques have been attacked by Jews and Christian Zionists more than a hundred times.
3- Once Aqsa and Sakhra mosques are destroyed in Jerusalem by the Jews, the final holy battle of Armageddon, led by America and English will be begun and the whole world will be destroyed in this world war.
4- In the war of Armageddon, Jesus will be born again and will advent in the world and he will defeat Antichrist at the end of this holy (!) war to establish his global governance with centrality of Jerusalem. The temple which has been built in Jerusalem instead of Al-Aqsa and Sakhra mosques will be the place of the Christ global governance.
In 1967, after the capture of the old city of Jerusalem, rebuilding the temple was started. Christian Zionists believe that a red hair calf had to be sacrificed in the construction of the "Temple of Solomon" ceremony. Richard Lands, a history professor at the University of "Boston", says:
The birth of this calf just is what people expect it to happen. We can launch the war of the end of the world. If the calf be sacrificed, Muslims will be prepared for jihad. So it is better to think about war. To be sure, finding the calf is blast trigger of Al-Aqsa mosque.
According to the prophecies of the Christian Zionists, after the advent of Christ and establishment of the World Jewish state, "Jerusalem" will be reconstructed surprisingly and will go up from current level to a height of 10 miles, it will be open from all sides and will be extended to the gates of "Damascus" and things that were previously in the temple, will be returned there. The Ark of the Covenant is one of these things which Jews are trying to find it. Also this is not one of the "Temple of Solomon" means, but Jews are waiting for the day that the box be found. However, according to Shiite belief, Ark of the Covenant is now with Imam Mahdi. The prophet says in this regard:
The holy box will be emerged from the Tiberias Lake in his hands (Imam Mahdi). It will be brought and will be placed in front of his holy presence in Jerusalem and when Jews see it, they will believe, except for a few of them.
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) in the hadith about the Imam Mahdi says:
He will bring out the Jerusalem ornaments, Sakina's coffin (Ark of the Covenant), Bani Israel's Maedeh, the rod of Moses, the pulpit of Solomon, and a Qafiz (a weight unit) of "Mann" which had been landed to Bani Israel, while is whiter than milk.
This is why this area has become a high-profile place of Earth for many years.
Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister has said:
Israel without Jerusalem and Jerusalem without reconstruction doesn't make sense.
Noem Lyfnat, Limor Lyfnat's brother, is one of the extremist Jewish conservatives who opposed Sharon's disengagement plan. Yofal Qarani, who is a Zionist journalist, says about him that Noem Lyfnat's dream was destruction of "Jerusalem". In Qarani's long interview with Lyfnat, he describes his position on Al-Aqsa mosque and says:
Lyfnat believes that the destruction of the holy Mosque and building the "imaginary temple" is essential.
Noem Lyfnat says:
It would be nice if the conditions were provided for destruction of Al-Sakhra and Al-Aqsa mosques; but we don’t have the technical and political preparations to do this.
He adds:
If a change occurred in the attitude of the Jewish people, they quickly go to Al-Sakhra mosque and it will explode in the sky.
Qarani also quoted Lyfnat said that hadn’t been a member of any secret organization which tries to destruct the Al-Aqsa mosque. Lyfnat was believed that the destruction of the mosque is basically no problem. He says:
The destruction of Al-Aqsa mosque will not happen in the current political situation. If you ask me whether Al-Aqsa mosque should be there? My answer is never. But the so-called temple should be in that location; because it is ideal and dream of the Jewish people and the Torah command. Jewish have thought to rebuild the Temple of Solomon from three thousand years ago.
Lyfnat also stated that:
There was a temple in that place and now the third temple will be located there too and without a doubt Al-Sakhra mosque will be destroyed and shouldn’t be there.
This terroristic character at the end of his speech, says:
It is certain that the day will come when the Jewish people wake up and say why Al-Aqsa mosque was built on this location? The Jews! Stand up and build the Temple of Solomon. At this moment, all of bulldozers move to destruction of this mosque. If the bulldozers fail to do that, sophisticated combat equipment will do.
These words and actions of the Zionists in "Palestine" and "Jerusalem" reveal the Zionists determination to implement their evil plans. But what is certain is that Imam Mahdi will occupy this area and will establish his world government. Imam Ali (peace be upon him) has outlined such a path for the war of the end of the word:
At the time, Imam Mahdi will move into the honorable Quds with a thousand of ridings. He will camp in Syria, Palestine, Tire, Acre and Gaza. Then he will enter Jerusalem.
The prophet also is quoted:
The promised Mahdi will behave in my tradition, his grants are soft and he will come down in Jerusalem.
At the time of advent, the best places for residence are "Mecca" and "Jerusalem". Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) also says:
"The Jerusalem is the best place for residence on that day. A time will come when everyone will wish to be there and it is Safiani era.
