Proposal for the Holy Land

^{Psalm 42: 3}My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

 

My God, the God of peace and justice, the God of truth and love, the God of the Bible, claims Jerusalem as His holy city.  That's where He is, if He dwells anywhere on this Godforsaken planet.

 

Peter Morch suggests moving UN headquarters to Jerusalem.

It is clear that the God shared by the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims has claimed Jerusalem to be His city. David was sent to found and build it, Christ was sent there to preach and die, and Mohammed was sent there to die too. What better capital of the world can you think of?...

Ambassadors of all nations will be living in Jerusalem, and so every nation on Earth will have a stake in securing the peace in the middle east.

And wouldn't it also be a fitting environment for rulers of the world to be in? Instead of busy, stressful New York, the spiritual and extremely historically significant Jerusalem?

Such a move would also fulfill a prophecy:

Isaiah 2:3
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

 

The next verse is actually inscribed on the Isaiah wall, in the Ralph Bunch Peace Park opposite the entrance to the UN Secreariat.

Isaiah 2:4
And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

 

Perhaps moving the UN to Jerusalem would create the new Jerusalem!
