dec 5, 1916 - British PM

Description:

British Prime Minister HH Asquith's government falls Dec.5, 1916 - he was NOT in favor of a restoration of the land of Israel. On Dec 7, he is replaced by David Lloyd George (PM) and George appoints Arthur Balfour as British foreign secretary

Both George & Balfour WERE in favor of a Jewish homeland (someday) and both men now lifted into positions of authority in the British empire. And in the following year, this empire would be placed in a position of determining the future of the land of Israel.

"In the Jubilee the transference is a matter of law (Lev.25) It has to be recognized in some way by the reigning authorities. And so it was the British Empire, a reigning authority that issued the recognition."
-- Chan,J. The Oracle (2019), pg72-73

The upcoming Jubilee of fruition in 1917 marked 50 years since 1867 (the Jubilee of seeds were planted) when ancient Jerusalem began its journey to restoration.
