Jerusalem - the city of David, Solomon's showcase, the scene of Jesus last week on earth - is also a holy place of Islam, and the goal of both medieval Crusaders and modern pilgrims. Even the most sceptical person can see how many of the Old Testament prophecies about Jerusalem and Israel have already been fulfilled. This unusual book gives a colourful overview of Jerusalem past, present and future, underlining its significance in Scripture.--Back cover.
3000 of history; from David's city to the New Jerusalem; full-colour illustrations throughout; fasts to remember; Bible check featres.--Front cover.
