First Religion

Of the many campaigns during the Middle Ages, few are as remarkable or seemingly impossible to win at the start as the First Crusade (1095-99), and the true crowning achievement of that crusade, which resulted in two centuries of Western European Christian states in the Middle East and the permanent firing of the European imagination, was the conquest of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099 after three weeks of siege.

The Middle Ages in Europe were some of the most precarious centuries in recorded history, bristling with war, excitement, and chaos. The Western Roman Empire had crumbled, territories were rapidly expanding, and heavy ploughs, hourglasses, spectacles, tidal mills, and more pioneering inventions were popping up across the continent. It was also a time of extreme prejudice, when women were treated as second-class citizens. Their only purpose in life was to procreate by the dozen.

I just want everybody to know if you delight yourself in God, he will give you the desire of your heart. (Psalm 37:4). You will get a miracle when you are ready for a miracle. (John 3:34). Having served in the military and everyday living you are exposed to many dangerous situations and I am so glad that I had the almighty God to lean on. During my tenure in the military I noticed that some soldiers had no spiritual knowledge or wisdom, so, I filled the void in some cases. Furthermore, when you believe and trust in God, he will always have your back. (Isaiah 52:12).

The Bible is one of the most popular pieces of literature in the world. Despite its popularity, most of us continue down the path of mystery, confusion, and monotonous misery.

And when they did, they massacred most if not all of the population before establishing a Christian realm in a region that had been taken over by the Muslims in 634 CE.
