30 Day mystery (sep 23, 1867 – oct 15, 1867)

Description:

Within 30 DAYS of the "foreigner" (Deut 29) arrival, the old city was discovered.

The foreigner (Twain) begins a trip that ushers in a coming era for Jews to return home. A key initial sign & followed 2 days later with a *legal approval (via Ottoman Land Code) for Jews to begin purchasing land in what eventually becomes Israel.

> Sept. 1867: Twain departs NY for the holy land, on trip fulfilling prophecy:
"...Your children who follow you in later generations and FOREIGNERS who COME FROM DISTANT LANDS will see the calamities that have fallen on the land and the diseases with which the Lord has afflicted it. " -- DEUT 29:22 NIV

> Oct. 1867: Old city of Jerusalem's initial discovery began when Charles Warren finds water shaft leading to old city outside the walls that were known up until that time.

* the 2 events are not related to a casual observer of history. 1 is a 'tour' from NY (before the tourism industry existed) and the 2nd is a separate event (sponsored via Britain) to explore Jerusalem

"..after two thousand years of lying in teh dust, ancient Jerusalem was discovered less than thirty days after the coming of the stranger... it would ultimately be a sign.... and a foreshadowing.... That Jerusalem would be restored... that Jesusalem would again become a living city filled with the children of Israel"
-- Cahn,J. The Oracle (2019), pg.49
