The Jerusalem in Judaism and the Jews
Journal Title: Eskiyeni - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 37
Abstract
Jerusalem is the almost only city that has religious significance in the all Semitic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). It has many names. But among these names, Jerusalem is the most important. It means the city of Salem/Shalem, and Salem/Shalem is a god of West Sami gods. Jerusalem is an ancient settlement that its history goes back to BC. 3000. Its relationship with Jews seems to go back till Abraham. In the reign of David and Solomon, Jerusalem was the capital city of the United Kingdom of Jews. But It didn’t seem sacred as much as today. It won its sacredness in the time of the second exile that brings about by the occupation of the Babylonians. This sacredness, after the destruction of the second temple, increased more and more. Reconstruction of the city was associated with the coming of the Messiah. In time, Jerusalem became a city that all Jews want to return one day.
