Jerusalem\u2026?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">All these queries were dealt with by the Triple Beatified His Holiness Pope Shenouda III through satisfactory answers based on a deep study of Israel\u2019s history throughout the Holy Bible in its two Testaments; the Old and the New, introduced in four lectures given by His Holiness in several places. The first article, titled \u201cIsrael in Christianity\u201d \u2013 contains the script of a lecture he gave in 1966 at the Syndicate of Journalists Office &#8211; It represents an enjoyable journey throughout the history of the Jewish nation and its relationship with God, and the eventual rejection of them when the Gentiles joined the faith.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">The second article, titled \u201cChristianity and Israel\u201d contains a review of the potential return of the Israelites to the land of promise after the captivation, and whether such return was implemented or is being implemented now. The article is the script of a lecture given by His Holiness the Pope at the Syndicate of Journalists in 1971.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">\u201cJerusalem, the City of Peace\u201d is the title of the third article, given at the International Seminar at the Arab League in 1995, discussing Jerusalem\u2019s status to Christians, and that the true peace would prevail only through restoring rights to their holders.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">While \u201cMuslims and Christians Together for Jerusalem\u2019s Sake\u201d is the script of His Holiness the Pope\u2019s word at the opening session of a seminar bearing the same name in 1996, in which His Holiness speaks about the fallacy of \u201ca chosen people of God\u201d, expressing his rejection of occupation, Judaization and Internationalization.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">We introduce this book, a gift dedicated to the soul of our virtuous father, the Triple Beatified His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, who had defended the Case of Jerusalem in his articles, words, dialogues and meetings. We shall not forget that he rejected entering Jerusalem unless he would be accompanied by his brother, the Grand Imam of Al Azhar. We present it to readers in order to realize the status of Jerusalem in Christianity, praying that God would keep and bless our Egypt, delivering it from all evil and the form of evils.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">28<sup>th<\/sup> of Apip 1728 AM<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">4<sup>th<\/sup> of August 2012 AD<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">The departure of St. Mary Magdalene<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">Bihsop Ermia, the General Bishop and Head of the Coptic Orthodox Cultural Center<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/281.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt='281-200x300-7784130' class=\"size-medium wp-image-408 aligncenter\" src='https:\/\/copticocc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/281-200x300-7784130.jpg' alt=\"28\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #993366;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\">\u0625\u0633\u0631\u0627\u0626\u064a\u0644 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u0644\u0645\u0648\u0646 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u064a\u062d\u064a\u0648\u0646 <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #993366;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\">\u0642\u062f\u0627\u0633\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0627\u0628\u0627 \u0634\u0646\u0648\u062f\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u062b\u0627\u0644\u062b<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #ff0000;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\">\u0641\u0628\u0631\u0627\u064a\u0631 2013\u0645<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9965,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3515],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71431,"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404\/revisions\/71431"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/copticocc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
