Jerusalem, Remebered

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
should the City of our LORD's Peace
be a hindrance to it?

If the ageless realms
of the unseen reality had a center,
it would be in thee, O Jerusalem.

O City beholden of old,
hearken to thy own virtue!

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
arise in God, arise in God,
why should War ever be found
laying its filthy hand on thee?

O my dear people - come,
and know this, here and now -
the rightful ownership of this city
may sometimes elude us, in exile time,
but this is only because of intentions,
born of a will and a purpose divine,
higher and more kinder than our own,
being embraced by the substance of things
outside the scope of our understanding:

The protection of the peace
and the common defense of this city,
where there is any question,
belong to the common good will
of both the nation of elder Israel
and the emerging Palestinian nation:
Jews, Christians and Muslims together.

For my dear people,
it is here in our Jerusalem
where these - two nations of old,
brought together by a promise not forgot,
shall learn the ways of God's Peace
and shall put behind them
the darkness of the midnight past
forever.

So pray, my dear people,
arise in God, arise in God - and -
always keep true to each other's good
all ye numberless Stars of old!

And ponder this in thy hearts -
wrestling with a new sense of hope
born of things rekindled
deep in the faith of thy soul
and ask of our LORD to bless us
and all of the generations of life
with a sustainable, meaningful peace.

Therefore, on the Question of Capital, as regards to modern Israel and unborn Palestine:

Establish the Primary Capital in Jerusalem and establish a Secondary Capital City in Tel Aviv and Gaza City respectively - the things of the receding past do not apply to the landscape of the new reality we are trying to obtain for our nations, of the one family of the nations of Mankind, at this present time and far into the new.

The military and political value of keeping a concentration of national identity and seat of state within the geographical boundary of a Capital City does not continue to hold in keeping with the common good of the nation 1) where our population centers are becoming aware of their own sense of individual or particular as well as common national belonging and 2) it becomes an impediment to the obtaining of the true purpose of Country which is the peace that prospers the people.

You shall be - in the course of our hope - as a light unto each other, O modern Israel of our elder Israel and our unborn Palestine or the darkness will continue to reign to the everlasting regret of all.

Peace unto our Jerusalem - is - peace unto Israel and peace unto Palestine, one peace.

Let it be so, O my people, let it be so.

Prosper the Peace. Prosper the People.

Sancta Sanctis!

Glory to God in the highest
Adoration to Jesus Christ
Peace to all men of good will.
