FINAL WARNING: The Shining Star
biblical years X 360 biblical days = 907,200 days, divided by our
calendar year of 365.25 days = 2,483.8 calendar years, which added to
the end of the Babylonian captivity in 536 BC, leads us to the year of
1948.When British troops left the area, they said it would be a matter of
weeks before the Arabs would take over the new country. On May 15th,
the official date of statehood, when Ben-Gurion was broadcasting
Israel’s appreciation to the U.S. for their recognition, an explosion
sounded, after which he said: “A bomb has just fallen on this city from
an enemy aircraft flying overhead.” An Arab alliance of Egypt, Iraq,
Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, and Jordan had attacked Israel.
Even though the newly formed nation was poorly armed, they
survived, and actually increased their territory by 600 miles. The 1949
Armistice gave them 21% more land than they had originally been
given by the United Nations.Prior to 1948, the Jewish people were known as ‘Palestinians.’ There
was a Palestinian Post newspaper, a Palestinian Brigade of Jewish
volunteers in the British Army during World War II, and an all-Jewish
Palestinian Symphony Orchestra. Arab inhabitants living in the new
country of Israel wanted to differentiate themselves from the Jews, and
began called themselves Palestinians. However, the underlying
purpose for this was to generate the misconception that it was a
distinct nationality, and that ‘Palestine’ was their ancestral homeland,
when in fact, they are actually similar in language and customs to the
Arabs of Syria and Jordan, where their ancestors probably came from.On July 26, 1956, Gamal Abdel Nasser, President of Egypt, seized
control of the Suez Canal, and announced that the profits would go
towards building the Aswan Dam. Egypt moved into a close alliance
with Russia as billions of dollars worth of military equipment, along
with Soviet advisors, poured into the country. On October 29th, Israeli
forces overran the Gaza Strip, and had it not been for the UN
Resolution that ordered a cease fire, Egypt would have fallen to Israel.Many years ago I came across this unsubstantiated report. On
November 7, 1957, the Jerusalem Post reported that at 6:03 a.m.,
Moshe Dayan radioed to twenty of his soldiers stationed in the Sinai
Desert, that three Egyptian divisions, 18,000 men, were on their way.
