People regard [[Jerusalem]] in Palestine as the holy land. They go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, wishing to receive peace of mind and blessings. In reality, however, Jerusalem today is far from peace. It is a representative city of conflict in the international community; disputes do not cease because each of three religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) and of two nations (Israel and Palestine) claims ownership. Jerusalem’s Old City, which is the center of the holy land, is divided into four quarters—Jewish, Armenian, Christian, and Muslim, and the streets are lined with armed police officers and soldiers.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker/conflict/israeli-palestinian-conflict |title=Israeli-Palestinian Conflict |website= |publisher=~~Global Conflict Tracker~~ |date=May 12, 2022 |year= |author= |page= |series= |isbn= |quote=}}</ref>

Jerusalem, which has been in the midst of political and religious disputes, cannot be called the place of salvation, which is mentioned in the Bible. Moreover, the [[God]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Isaiah+30%3A18&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Isaiah 30:18 |publisher= }}</ref> of justice would not appoint a certain region on the earth as a place of salvation, and pretend not to know the numerous people who long for salvation but cannot make a pilgrimage there. In fact, what the prophets Isaiah and Zechariah wrote about Jerusalem is the prophecy about the heavenly Jerusalem.
