Hi Awakened53
Jerusalem was a Jebusite stronghold captured by King David, a city at that time called Jebus. The city was named after Jebus who was a descendant of Ham the son of Noah. Jeru is the cities origin. Salem means peace, which is not a word that sits comfortably with the current city. That is why there is a new Jerusalem coming to replace it.
As for the you tube clip, most of the nations depicted in it, are contained in the image that the prophet Daniel saw. That vision is the history of that area . The head is Babylon, then Medo Persia, followed by Alexander, after that Rome, ending with Papal Rome. The stone that smashes it all to pieces is the stone kingdom. That kingdom is the stone the builders rejected that becomes the corner stone, Jesus.
It would be much easier to dismiss Bible prophecy, if there wasn't a nation of Israel (however it was formed) today and if the city wasn't split into three parts.
The city in recent history was taken back after the seven times punishment (2500 years) or the time of the Gentiles.
In December 1917, by the Hebrew army of the ten tribes that were taken captive by the Assyrians, Britain. Lead by general Allenby, without a shot being fired. The leaflets that were dropped from aircraft, had Allenbys name on them, to the Muslims that held the city, it ment messenger of Allah. So they surrenderd the city. Thus fulfilling more Bible prophecy contained in this verse and by the way in all of the church of England daily readings of that particular day.*[[Isa 31:5]] KJV* As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
You also need to know whose drum the Historians and Bible scholars are beating, before truly making up your mind.
