RIYADH:
Saudi Arabia will issue new banknotes this week, which for the first time carry the image of Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, in a move officials said reflects the kingdom’s concern for the Palestinian issue.
The new notes – the fifth currency to appear since the kingdom was founded in 1932 – show familiar images such as that of founder King Abdul Aziz Al Saud and Islamic holy sites in Mecca and Medina. But the 50 riyal note, which come into circulation on Monday, will show on one side the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s old city and the Dome of the Rock, an iconic early Islamic mosque, on the other side. The Aqsa Mosque is regarded as Islam’s third holiest shrine after the Grand Mosque in Mecca and the Masjid-e-Nabvi in Medina. Israel captured Arab East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it in a move unrecognised internationally.
Blake's Jerusalem
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their evil desire; and when she was polluted by them, she [Jerusalem] broke the relationship and pushed them away from her in disgust.
~ EZEKIEL 23:17

~ EZEKIEL 23:17
ONE OF the seven angels who had the seven bowls then came and spoke to me, saying, Come with me! I will show you the doom (sentence, judgment) of the great whore who is seated on many waters, she with whom the rulers of the earth have joined in whoredoms (idolatry) and with the wine of whose whoring (idolatry) the inhabitants of all the earth have become intoxicated.
And the angel bore me away [rapt] in the Spirit into a desert (wilderness), and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast that was all covered with blasphemous titles (names), and he had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was robed in purple and scarlet and bedecked with gold, precious stones, and pearls, [and she was] holding in her hand a golden cup full of the accursed offenses and the filth of her lewdness and vice. And on her forehead there was inscribed a name of mystery [with a secret symbolic meaning]: Babylon the great, the mother of all whores (idolatresses) and of all the filth and atrocities and abominations of the earth.
~ REVELATION 17 1:5
