<em>Jerusalem was part of the Byzantine Empire in 565 AD and 1360 AD. </em>
When looking at the attached map, we can clearly see that the dominion of the Byzantine Empire was vast an extended to Europe, Asia, and some parts of North Africa. The map indicates the territories under control of the Byzantine Empire and one can explain its wealthy and powerful hand over their subjects. The Empire could have raw materials, naturals resources, and goods that were traded with other nations. Important nations and territories were under the rule of the Byzantine Empire such as Italy, the Balkans region, Asia Minor, Middle East places like Damascus and Jerusalem, Egypt and the coastal places in North Africa.
Jerusalem... in this time period it included regions in northern Egypt (where Jerusalem is) and an extremely small portion on the western edge of the Arabic peninsula, and then in 1020 the empire included Jersulem. Around 1360 the empire expanded yet again to include Rome. Cordoba, to my knowledge, was not ever included in the Empire
Christians recognise Jesus as the Son of God who was sent to save mankind from death and sin. Jesus Christ taught that he was Son of God. His teachings can be summarised, briefly as the love of God and love of one's neighbour.
