"The children of Edom will gather their forces and wage battles against the children of Yishmael, one [battle] on the sea, one on dry land, and one in close proximity to Jerusalem. One will dominate the other, but the Holy Land will not be delivered into the hands of the children of Edom." (Zohar HaKadosh)
