A warning: if Israel is no more, guess who the new Jews are? The US/Americans. Let’s not kid ourselves, Israel is the first step, but America is the Prize.
Just thinking out loud, but it is America and Americans (Christians and Jews) that make Jerusalem Jewish again (and alive again).
You have raised an interesting point.
IMHO, this puzzle has just taken on a new complexion...thx to you.
Now we need to determine what it is about Jerusalem that the enemy finds so powerful...so attractive.
From reviewing history, it seems the enemy thought for a while that the sacrifice of Jewish lives would activate the power of Jerusalem. Hitler and his final solution proved that didn't work.
There must be another answer.
I need to sleep on this. And think!
