The Crusades. Part-Four.

Despite all the killings the first Crusade proceeded across Europe to Constantinople (modern Istanbul) in western-Turkey. But they were delayed by nearly one year when the king of Hungary blocked their path, after he found out they wanted to kill the Jewish population. To him the Jewish community had brought his kingdom wealth and he did not want to loose that. In the second and third Crusades, his kingdom was obliterated by the French and German knights.

When the first Crusade reached Constantinople, they more or less destroyed it. By this period the Byzantine empire was in decline and this was the last chapter for the Christian Eastern Church. Meanwhile all of these events were encouraged by the Maronite Christians in the Middle-east, who switched allegiance from the Byzantines to the Roman Catholics in Rome.  Jeremiah 7:26.

The Crusades. Part-Three.

In 1098 the first Crusade set out from France, through Germany to the Holy Lands. But not far into Germany, the Crusader knights attacked the settled Jewish population. In ignorance they classed the Jews as none Christians and similar to the Turks.

This is described by Jewish historians as the first Holocaust. In fact the whole crossing of Europe lead to massacre after massacre. Christian historians have claimed ‘it was the ignorant peasants who carried out this wanton murder.’

But the discovery of recent documentation reveals it was the knights themselves who carried out the attacks.  Luke 14:27.
