Fulfilment of Biblical Prophecy!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where He scattered you. (Deuteronomy 30:3) “When they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so abhor them as to destroy them, breaking My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.” (Leviticus 26:44) Yesterday, November 2, was the anniversary of a letter issued by the British government favouring the establishment of a national home for the Jewish People. That letter began the process of the fulfilment of Bible prophecy concerning Israel in these last days. The consequences of that letter, the Balfour Declaration of 1917, still reverberate around the world 97 years later. Today we remember and welcome those people among the nations of the world who have not forgotten history and who remember our link to our land and our right to a state of our own, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said yesterday. According to And the Hills Shouted for Joy; the Day Israel Was Born, The Balfour Declaration was the first public acknowledgement by a Great Power of the Jewish connection with Palestine as well as an undertaking by that government to help restore the Jewish people to its homeland. For the first time a sovereign government had entered into a pact with a people scattered over the face of the earth to return them to a land. The Balfour Declaration—the fruit of 12 months of intensive negotiations between Foreign Office officials, Prime Minister David Lloyd George and leading British Zionists—was issued by Arthur James Balfour, the British Foreign Secretary, to Lord Walter Rothschild, a British Jewish leader who was to convey the news to the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. Here is the complete text:--------- Foreign Office, November 2nd, 1917. Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majestys Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet. “His Majestys Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country”. I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours sincerely, Arthur James Balfour Bible Prophecy Fulfilled;------ The Balfour Declaration was incorporated into the Sevres peace treaty with the Ottoman Empire and the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine, which gave international sanction for the establishment of a national Jewish homeland, and therefore, became the legal cornerstone for the Jewish State.The door opened by the Balfour Declaration helped fulfil Bible prophecy that foresaw God would “gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” (Isaiah 11:12) God was moving through a world power to fulfil countless Bible prophecies concerning Israel, as well as His covenant promises to return His people to their land. Apparently Lord Balfour was aware of God’s plan for Israel. According to the Jewish Chronicle, “The Balfour Declaration was born out of religious sentiment. Arthur Balfour was a Christian mystic who believed that the Almighty had chosen him to be an instrument of the Divine Will, the purpose of which was to restore the Jews to their ancient homeland. “The Declaration was thus intended to assist in the fulfilment of biblical prophecy. This appealed to Lloyd George, whose private immorality did not prevent him from believing in the prophecies of a Bible he knew inside out.”
