There is death all around us. The blood rising as high as a horses bridal. Death is the sin we live in, an ocean of blood that feeds us and stops us cold as stones in the track of time when judgement falls. And judgement falls like a thief in the night. In the bed as we lay next to our neighbor unaware. In the street soaked in blood at the hand of mighty. Under the stones of the temples as they fall. Alone wrapped in the fever that the sin infected blood consumes our bodies with. In the womb by the mercy of the one who carries us. Death is the sin we live in, the darkness, the ocean, the abyss, and the only light is the faithfulness unto a thousand generations in the Lord's love and His commandments, thou shall love the Lord with all thy heart and all thy mind and all thy strength, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
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?...
