PREFACE

The purpose of this book is to clear up all misconceptions about the histories, the peoples, the cultures and the political issues in the Holy Land. I have been inspired to write this book in order to contribute to the solution of permanent peace in the Holy Land and for humanity. The problems of the Middle East started with the Roman/ European occupation, through Adolf Hitler’s Second World War, the forceful creation of Israel, and now the unjust invasion of Iraq under the guise of searching for weapons of mass destruction.

In this book, we will make an attempt to define the Holy Land from a biblical perspective, its relation to God and humanity, it citizens, and why it exists at all. We will discuss who owns the Holy Land in terms of origins and inheritances, and why it has to be owned. The peoples of the Holy Land will be addressed in terms of their descendants and the nations they built. We will also talk about Abraham and his promise from God, and address this promise as a promise of land and seed. This understanding and separation of the promise of land from the promise of seed amongst the Jews and the Palestinians will save a lot of lives and make the United Nation’s peace effort in the Middle East a lot easier. The cultures, academia, and race are necessary topics as evidence to the origins and confusions of the problems that need to be eliminated.

At the end of this book, we will have been able to see through over 8,000 years of human history, from Adam to the current day in the Holy Land. We might be able to envision human existence before Adam, and the probable end of times, through rough mathematical figures.

I hope this book does not offend anyone, because it is just an interpretation of the research from the Holy Scriptures that might help bring peace to a troubled world. I am open to any criticisms and suggestions based on facts that might help improve all our opinions and ideas towards a brighter, better and peaceful world.

1) What is the Holy Land?

The Holy Land is a piece of landmass from all the lands inhabited by humans after creation that the creator has chosen as the political, cultural and spiritual capital for all of creation, through which the godly and peaceful existence of mankind would be manifested and maintained. The intended capital was the Garden of Eden, which was created in the East (Gen 2:8) where God put the man, which he had formed. What man? Is it the one in Genesis 1 or a different man? Genesis 1 to Genesis 2:1-3, talks about creation and how God rested. Genesis 2:4-20 summarizes the creation story without paying attention to the order in the creation story, but emphasizes the creation of the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2:8-17. I see two men in these two Genesis chapters, man of creation and man of Eden. Many Bible translations used the word man not Adam until after the fall of the man in Eden (Gen 3). The man in Genesis 1 and most of Genesis 2 is the creation man and woman, while the man of Genesis 2:8-17 and Genesis 3 is the man of Eden called Adam. I would like to make this point, that the story of creation has nothing to do with the Garden
