Improved Essays
Relating to other ethnic groups who have the same background, they will end up having a lot of similarities even though they have different religions.

In Psalm 2, David becomes king in Zion, or the anointed one, wondered why the countries were attacking him and he said God will be angry for it. David felt that if they were attacking him, they were attacking God because he is a Son of God. In verse 8 God says, “..Only ask it of me and I will make you inheritance the nations, your possession the ends of the earth.” This was God making a covenant with David saying that he would

They remember the covenant that God made with David, between the the Israelites and God it is a deal that trades acceptance of God 's law for protection and power from God, but God did not keep true to his word and the covenant eventually fell through. “Mighty your arm, strong your hand, your right hand is ever exalted. Justice and judgement are the foundation of your throne;” (Psalm 89:14-15). Every religion group is different but they all feel like their God is the strongest and the most powerful because he created everything. The Jews can relate to anyone with that knowledge because different Gods are the creator of something in other religions. “In your name they sing joyfully, all the day; at your victory they raise the festal shout” (Psalm 89:17). In this verse it’s more about praising the God you worship to just sing about how great your God is and if you rejoice in his name he will make them strong and because they are kind they will be strong as well. In the time of battle, they expected God to be on their side from beginning to end but to them he basically did not do what he promised. The Jews thought that if they loved and obeyed God he would keep them safe. “You turned back his sharp sword, did not support him in battle. You brought to an end his splendor hurled his throne to the ground. You cut the short days of his youth, covered him with shame” (Psalm 89:44-46). They are very angry because God did not fulfill his promise and David’s line for the throne was destroyed in the battle because God did not keep them safe. The psalmist prays that God would do something for them since they are in need. Psalm 137 talks about the exile and them being sad because they are farther from God’s land. If the Israelites were ever to forget Jerusalem “May my tongue stick to my palate if I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem

    The city of Jerusalem is a religious and holy space to many who live there or simply visit, but what about Jerusalem makes religious or holy in the first place? There are buildings with an empty meaning until it is labeled, buildings with an unacknowledged history that can or cannot be proven, and people confused with their purpose in life. Jerusalem has carried many of these characterizations and factors and yet no one truly understood how the religious and holy space was formed in the city. Space remains a mystery that goes beyond the complex unit of measurement and a simple physical area because it can change over time. Fortunately, Tweed suggests three aspects regarding space: it is differentiated, kinetic, and interrelated.…

    In this period, great Muslim leaders such as Salah Al-Din (Saladin) motivated large Muslim armies using scripture, and lead a series of successful counter-attacks into the Holy Land. One example of an important battle occurred in Hattin, where a decisive Muslim victory paved the way for the reconquest of the Holy Land. However, even though the two participants in this conflict appeared to be opposing each other completely; there are still similar aspects to each of their ideas. Both sides believed that it was their God-given duty to defend their faith by fighting against the enemy, and all fighters were promised an opportunity to redeem themselves from sin if they dedicated themselves to this cause. For example, the Qu 'ran allows for physical Jihad to remove any barriers to Islamic Da 'wah (proselytization), while the Bible permits killing in terms of warfare, which can be seen when God commands King Saul to destroy Amalek, the enemy of the Israelites as seen in 1 Samuel, Verse 15.…

    (NRSV). In this first verse, the kinetic aspect of Jerusalem is seen with the contrasting imagery of the city before its destruction and afterwards. TWEED In Chapter 1 of Lamentations, the people of Jerusalem do not blame the Babylonians for desecrating Jerusalem and exiling them from their home, instead, they cry that “the LORD is in the right,/for [they] have rebelled against his word” (Lamentations 1:18 NRSV). Many people believed that God had abandoned them as punishment; however, the ties with God have not been severed because this was a manifestation of God’s anger.…

An individual coming into a society where his ethnicity and race is unfamiliar, an opportunity is open for both the individual and the population of that society to learn and get to know each other.

However, that can be rectified with positive involvement and communication in different areas of that society. Individuals coming from various ethnic and racial backgrounds…
