Let's Get To The Bottom of That
Society & Culture
Israel is located in the Middle East on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea near the Suez Canal and shares borders with Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, it is the home country of the Israelites as we discussed in last week's episode and it's capital is Jerusalem and it is where our Lord and Saviour Jesus the Christ was born, raised, executed and brought back to life and ascended to another dimension call the Kingdom of Heaven.
Israel's 2023 population is estimated at 9,174,520 people at mid-year. Israel's population is equivalent to 0.11% of the total world population. Israel ranks number 98 in the list of countries (and dependencies) by population.
Israel holds a place of great importance for three of the world’s major religious groups. The modern Jewish state is not only the “Promised Land” for Jews but the only country in the world where they form a majority of the population. For Christians, Israel is the “Holy Land,” because it is the place where Jesus’ life and death unfolded. And, for Muslims, Jerusalem is the place where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven.
The Israelites have been a hated people pretty much from the beginning of the seed war that was spoken in Genisis, and it has not let up over the years.
