He Is Risen. Jesus appeared to His disciples on the third day after His crucifixion and they believed. It was only the beginning however. Caiaphas in disbelief of Jesus sought to destroy the followers and all signs of Jesus ever having taught. Pontius Pilate under the tyranny of Tiberias and soon Caligula was eager to quell any revolt in the city. Jesus is Risen, but we followers are deep deep deep underground. But not for long.
History Occupation After rule by the Ottoman Empire ended there in World War I (1914–18), the Gaza area became part of the League of Nations mandate of Palestine under British rule. Before this mandate ended, the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) in November 1947 accepted a plan for the Arab-Jewish partition of Palestine under which the town of Gaza and an area of surrounding territory were to be allotted to the Arabs. The British mandate ended on May 15, 1948, and on that same day the first Arab-Israeli war began. Egyptian forces soon entered the town of Gaza, which became the headquarters of the Egyptian expeditionary force in Palestine. As a result of heavy fighting in autumn 1948, the area around the town under Arab occupation was reduced to a strip of territory 25 miles (40 km) long and 4–5 miles (6–8 km) wide. This area became known as the Gaza Strip. Its boundaries were demarcated in the Egyptian-Israeli armistice agreement of February 24, 1949. Are you a student?...
