Megiddo; the fortress city for which the final battle of the final war is named. It was called Har Mahgeedo back then which means Mount of Mahgeedo. The walled city was built on top of a small mountain (or huge hill) with steep slopes for safety. The trade routes from Europe, Africa, Arabia, and Asia met on the plain below the city. Mahgeedo was very important to the world.

Palestinians claim Israel was always theirs until 1948.
See http://www.abbasway.org/messages/020e.htm
They also claim there were no Jewish or Christian churches in what is now Israel until recent history. Archaeologists have uncovered a mosaic floor (picture made of small, colored tiles) and the fallen stone walls of a church in Mahgeedo. The church existed between 200-300AD.

The excavation’s head archaeologist, Yotam Tepper, said: “What’s clear today is that it’s the oldest archaeological remains of a church in Israel, maybe even in the entire region. Whether in the entire world, it’s still too early to say.” The complete story is at www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9950210/

What is important here is that Roman historical records, Jewish historical records, and today’s science all prove that both Jerusalem and Mahgeedo were Jewish cities. Jerusalem was the religious center and Mahgeedo controlled the economy. Conclusion: proof the land was Jewish for approximately 2000 years or more.

BIBLE VERSE(S) ABOUT THIS STORY
Exodus 19:6 “And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.”
Numbers 34  This whole chapter gives complete details of the land God promised to Moses.

Muslims openly admit that Abraham was the ancestor of themselves and of Jews with Jacob’s Jewish side of the family staying there to live and his brother Esau’s Arab side of the family moving west into what is now Jordan and beyond.

Please forward this to everyone.
