Chapter 1  
     
1.
 Come now hearts of light, minds of darkness to see the dream that is now at hand.
  
2.
 For Jerusalem, the jewel, the fire, the throne shall once again rise.
  
3.
 You who have fought, have spilt blood for this place of earth and stone.
  
4.
 You who have everything but its dust between your fingers.
  
5.
 You who have sacrificed to the most ancient of dragons.
  
6.
 You who have sought to sanctify the spirit of the Earth and God.
  
7.
 You who have believed that such a day is but possible only at the end of days.
  
8.
 Behold, the time has come.
  
9.
 A thousand years, and then a thousand more has been the time.
  
10.
 That Muslim has fought Christian,
  
11.
 Muslim has fought Jew, Jew has fought Roman.
  
12.
 But for a mountain of stones and more that is Jerusalem, the prize of kings.
  
13.
 A promise made by God is a promise kept.
  
14.
 While lies may surround and envelope the truth, this one truth was spoken- that Jerusalem would once again arise.
  
15.
 So spoke the angels to the Prophet;
  
16.
 So spoke the Prophets to the Jews;
  
17.
 So promised God to the Christians.
  
18.
 Who then dares to doubt such fate?
  
19.
 Surely then even the hardest heart must know that it is now time, the time of new beginnings.
  
20.
 How then can a city so divided by war, by faith be united?
  
21.
 For if not Jew, then Palestinian, if not Palestinian, then Muslim, if not Muslim then Christian.
  
22.
 Would they all not die to hold such a prize?
  
23.
 And what of God and the darkest of spirits once worshipped here?
  
24.
 Shall they set aside and reject their own pledges of unity?
  
25.
 Are we so faithless, so bereft of any worship but ourselves that even the most evil of oath is worth nothing?
  
26.
 Are we so weak in our belief in the universe, in the word of God that it cannot be true?
  
27.
 How then might such miracles as a new Jerusalem arise?
  
28.
 It shall arise in the foundation of all you read and see now.
  
29.
 It shall arise as the constitution of One Jerusalem, a state united for humanity.
