December 2012 was my 1st and likely best Christmas Tour of the Holy Lands. There were many nice people Gri
and I meet. Tops of the list was the taxi driver in Eilat who returned my backpack inadvertently left on back se
even refusing an extra tip. Then was the wonderful lady who entertained Griffy on the bus from Jerusalem to El
giving Griffy a nice harmonica that he enjoys playing. Also was the Rabi who posted a note to the Wailing Wall
us. All our tour guides were very helpful. Especially considering that Griffy is a typical 3 year old who lik
exploring everything with zeal and gusto. The Palatine hotel provided a good taxi/guide to do Bethlehem, grea
Jerusalem, Jericho, Saint George, the Zoo, sundry museums, and seven hills of Jerusalem.
Israel is a land of contrasts; the blessing and the curse, the antiquity (Jericho oldest inhabited city due to sprin
and Tel-Aviv modern hi-tech center; Desert and Fertile plain, poor Palestine and opulent business people, me
hustle and quiet country side, tension and peace. By and large, much the same as in time of Jesus, who scold
the ruling elite as white washed tombs, den of vipers, unbelieving hypocrites, callous, beholden to tradition, b
yet there are those for whom Jesus came to heal, seek the lost, restore the contrite, uphold and lead to a fuller l
that he gladly endured the shame of Crucifixion for whom we are forever indebted.
Our Arab guide was likely a Jebucite descendent (after Jebu, the name of ancient Jerusalem) living on Mt. Olivet
As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the
children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites
dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
Joshua 15:63 ... the children of Benjamin did not drive out the
Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell
with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.
Judges 1:21 As for all the people that were left and the
Jebusites, which were not of Israel whom the children of
Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute
until this day. 2 Chronicles 8:7-8 Therefore I will not drive
them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your
sides I also will not from now on drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he die
Judges 2 v3 & 21
Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? For it is written , that Abraham had two sons, the o
by a bondmaid , the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of
freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Si
which makes to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers toJerusalemwhich now is, a
is in bondage with her children. ButJerusalemwhich is above isfree, which is the mother of us all. For it is written , Rejo
you barren that bear not; break forth and cry , thou that travails not: for the desolate hath many more children than
which has husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after
flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what says scripture? Cast out
bondwoman and her son: for the son of thebondwomanshall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. Galatians 4:21-3

and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of th

Babylon is mentioned as an idiom for a city set on seven hills in the book of Revelation. Many say this ref
exclusively to the Roman Catholic Church. Others view it as a reference to Jerusalem and Judaism. It is propo
that the reference to Mystery Babylon describes a convergence of the three monotheistic religions upo n
physical city of Jerusalem. Already all three religions hold or claim some portion of Jerusalem. Uniting the
claims is UN Resolution 181 passed in 1947 A.D. Whereby Jerusalem was decreed as a Corpus Sep aratum
separate entity. Separate in the fact that UN 181 declared a partition of Palestine into three zones; Jerusale
Arab, and Jewish, see below map.
The Arab states never accepted the partition and various
wars have settled borders of what is today know as Israel andthe Palestinian portions of the former, greater Palestine.
What remains is the issue of Jerusalem.
Here is a map of the Jerusalem partition from the 1947
document. It is entirely likely that a final settlement will see
Jerusalem divided into Jewish, Christian, and Arab quarters.
Another Jerusalem outcome could be; Jewish,
Arab/Palestine, International. In either event Jerusalem will
remain acityon seven Hills and remain significantto a vast
swath of the worlds population.

TheSevenHills
Several substantial world cities lay claim to be built on 7 hills. Besides Jerusalem, thesevenhilledsistercities
Rome, Mecca, Istanbul, Moscow, Tehran, Athens, andAncientBabylon.
The linking of Islam and modern Jerusalem is
well explained in new testament literature. A
uniting of the monotheist religions, as
represented by these major cities, would be a
modern tower of Babel.
If one starts with the Mount of Olives just to
the east of the main City ofJerusalem(but still
reckoned to be located within the environs of
Jerusalem), there are three summits to that
Mount of Olives:
The northern summit (hill) is called Scopus [Hill
One],
The middle summit (hill) was called Nob [Hill
Two],
The highest point of Olivet itself, and the
southern summit (hill) was called in the Holy
Scriptures the "Mount of Corruption" or "Mount
of Offence" [Hill Three] (II Kings 23:13).
On the middle ridge between the Kedron and
the Tyropoeon Valleys there was (formerly) in
the south "Mount Zion" [Hill Four] (the original
"Mount Zion" and not the later southwest hillthat was later called by that name),
The "Ophel Mount" [Hill Five],
To the north of that the "Rock" around which "Fort
Antonia" was built [Hill Six],
And finally, there was the southwest hill itself [Hill
Seven] that finally became known in the time of
Simon the Hasmonean as the new "Mount Zion.
Thismakes "SevenHills" in all.

Babel
Babylon is a name taken from root word Babel. The tower of Babelwas a confluence of people who thought
raise themselves up to God by building a tower up to God. This collective work displeased God. Subsequently, G
scattered the people by giving people many languages; lest mankind try to make themselves as equals to God
the concept ofBabylonas Jerusalem, this representsmankindagainattemptingtounite, into a confluence,
universal Godconceptfor all peoples. Hence aBabelof religions or a Babel of the God concept, united unde
false prophet and false messiah. The book of revelation indicates such a system will initiate supernatural wrathearth from heaven.
Using, The Balfour Century, concept, (1917-2017), it is predicted these events will commence prior to Decem
2017. The Balfour Century time line concept is based on 7,000 years total of determined time. Four thousand ye
of determined time had elapsed up to the anointing of Jesus the Christ by St. John, about 27 AD. There are o
thousand years reserved as a future Sabbath Day of millennial peace. This leaves 2 millennial days of Messia
work, of which 1,985 years had passed in 2012 since Messiah anointing in 27AD. The remaining 15 years
Messianic work are envisioned as: five years of preparation, 2012 to 2017; Seven Years of tribulation, 2017-20
and three years of confusion and war, 3024 to 3027. After 3027 follows eternal righteousness and time
more. The Balfour Century from 1917 until 2017 is a hundred year warning Generation. Just as God gave in t
time of Noah. The hundred year generation of judgment and redemption is also indicated by the generationsIsrael from Egypt to Canaan.

Revelation 17:8-10 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perditio
and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of th

Israel, A Land of Milk and Honey?
Another striking feature of Israels geography was how great a portion of
the land is arid desert. Because of the desert only a small portion of Israel
and the Palestine Authoritys land are presently inhabited. This is one
source of antagonism between the Jewish and other populations.
Improved irrigation of selected arid parts of the land is one way to reduce
these tensions between the population groups. The missing element is asuitable water supply. The present water supply is stretched beyond
capacity when rainfall is sparse. New reverse osmosis seawater to potable
water system is slated to be commissioned in 2013. However morel water
sources would be required to make the arid lands fertile. One possible
source would be thermal desalination, were a suitable energy supply
available. An Extensive supply of offshore gas is slated to become
available by year 2017 by which thermal desalination could become a
viable option to produce a copious supply of irrigation water from
seawater. This could truly transform the desert of Palestine and alleviate
the land issue for the population.
Hebrew as a National Language
Another interesting aspect was
the normal use of Hebrew
language. A visitor to Israel will
find Hebrew and Arabic used as
the norm, with English and
Russian as the second tier
languages. Russian is used due tothe large influx of Jewish peoples from
that area.
