The Promised Land is considered to be the most sacred place on Earth. But it been fought over for thousands of years. Was "The Promised Land" given by God to a "chosen people"? For the Jewish people, it is where David was King, Solomon built a great temple and Abraham and his descendants could live in peace and prosperity. Christians believe they have a right to the area because Jesus will appear here first when he returns for the Day of Judgment according to the New Testament. Since the Crusades, Temple Mount in Jerusalem has remained under Muslim control and is the site of one of the most sacred mosques in all of Islam. Was God's real promise not actually given to Abraham, but to all of humanity, and that a "promised land" was to be earned, not just given?
