Spare us the Bogus Holy Land History
American Thinker,com ^ | April 20, 2022 | Mike Konrad

Posted on 04/20/2022 3:09:53 AM PDT by Kaslin

During this season of holiness -- the Resurrection for us Christians, Passover for Jews (and the festivals are related) -- my prayer is that God may spare us from the idiotic histories that pervade the media.

The chief lie is that Islam has any claim at all to the Temple Mount.

MOHAMMED NEVER SET FOOT IN JERUSALEM DURING HIS LIFETIME

The official version of Islam’s history admits that Islam never approached Jerusalem during Mohammed’s lifetime. Soon after Mohammed’s death, Islam went into the Ridda wars (Wars of Apostasy). Islam had not even stabilized at that point.

Jerusalem was under the control of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. They would not have tolerated mosques in Jerusalem, had Islam even bordered Jerusalem, which it did not. Invading Arab armies did not arrive inside Jerusalem until 637AD -- five years after Mohammed’s death.

This is admitted to by all sources: Christian, Jewish, secular, and even Islamic histories.

AL-AQSA IS A FRAUD

How in the world could Mohammed have taken a midnight ride on a horse with the face of a woman -- called the Isra and Miraj, from whence we get the word: mirage -- to the furthest mosque (Al-Aqsa), if there was no mosque to visit in Jerusalem during his lifetime?

Who cares what the Arabs believe?

Just so. Until OPEC no one really cared...

The Romans changed the name of Judea to Palestine (sounds like Philistine). The Arabs were not even in the region then, so when they claim the Jews “stole” it from Arabs, it’s a lie.

Further historical note

The Calif at the time resided in Amman (Jordan), but his court was getting restless - never a good sign. Therefore, to change it up, he moved his capitol to Jerusalem where he commissioned the Temple as a tourist attraction run by his court. Eventually, they got bored and the Calif moved the capital back to Amman.

So wherever Mighty Mohammad ‘ascended’ from was wherever the assassins found him, but was not hundreds of miles north in Jerusalem.

M’med probably never existed- at least by that name. He might have been Umar or Ilyas ibn Qabisah or someone else.

Pfander Films is doing great work in sifting the SIN Standard Islamic Narrative.

Doubtful that anything was happening in “Mecca” anyway… the true origins were “way up north” anyway.

There is now some archeological and historical evidence that Mo never existed, and Islam is a much more recent invention - made up whole cloth.

How in the world could Mohammed have taken a midnight ride on a horse with the face of a woman -- called the Isra and Miraj, from whence we get the word: mirage -- to the furthest mosque (Al-Aqsa), if there was no mosque to visit in Jerusalem during his lifetime?

Yeah, who did he think he was, Paul Revere? Besides it's the British riding on a horse with the face of a woman. History about midnight and the War of Independence keeps repeating.

But al-Quds (which means the Holy [Place]) is just a cognate of the Hebrew Qdsh (Qadosh), which means Holy. The Arabs did not even give the city a competing name. It would be akin to calling London "The Foggy," without any further elaboration.

Well, there is the matter of the word "the daily" [ha-tamid, the continual, perpetual] in the Book of Daniel. It's used there as a stand-alone noun, so translators tacked on the word "sacrifice". Tamid, "from an unused root meaning to stretch" (Strong's). Ernest Klein expounds.

Better than grousing about people who deny history, is to make history. Can DO!

Daniel 8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end [ketz] shall be the vision.

Al-Aqsa means "the farthest". I didn't recognize a Hebrew cognate in "aqsa", or see one included on Wiktionary, but it listed the Arabic root, which I can't read but when I dropped the individual letters into a search, they matched up with:

kuf tzaddi vav [ק צ ו]

Ah... "keitz", end. That is as far as one can go. Then again, why place a limit. Keitz [קץ], "and" [ו], (because there's always more):

Lots of usage info at this page for Strong's 7093, but the right direction arrow/s at the top can be run through to 7118, for a fuller idea of and the comparisions to the other words and roots beginning with the end, with "keitz".

Regardless of the third radicals, a repeating concept is to cut. Compare "keitz" and "cut", yet the origin of "cut" supposedly is uncertain.

More by starting here in Klein's etymology and scrolling on down..

Beginning with the end (in the Torah that would be "in the sight of all Israel"), I got the idea to look up the English

Words That Begin With CUT

After the initial "cut", the very next word is "cute". As it turns out, it is an

Aphetic form of acute, originally “keenly perceptive or discerning, shrewd” (1731). Meaning transferred to “pretty, fetching” by US students (slang) c.1834. Meaning drifted further to describe the pleasing attraction to features usually possessed by the young.

acute. That trail is worth a visit because it goes back to a sharp point; e.g. Latin acuo.

Reminds me of the Janus word "cleave".

Cute. Here's a relaxing, sweet song from the perspective of Jacob, at the time he met Rachel (the mother of all Israel):

I Hope You Want Me To/Too

As per the traditions concerning Micah 7:20, Jacob didn't die because he was given the truth, and the truth never dies.

Definitely worth pursuing, and waiting for.

This word trail led right back to that midnight ride, because in front of Paul Revere's house is the square named for his wife, who was Rachel. It's located in the North End,

where the living trace their roots (back to the beginning).

The writing is on the wall of Rachel Revere Square.

Joseph was sold down the river. What could he do in such a circumstance? He could dream about his brothers:

Dream River

Gen 45:7. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance:

Better than grousing about people who deny history, is to make history. Can DO! (I hope you want me to.)

This works both ways... Babylon was not Islam to be a perpetual mortal enemy of Judea...

Islam was not born yet when Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the temple and ran off Judea.

I am so sick of the hypocritical conflicts between faiths based on lies from BOTH SIDES...

The false self appointed sense of righteousness is the opposite of true righteousness.
