as Commander-in-Chief of the British Forces in Egypt . . . 1
“It all happened on June 5. The appointment would set in motion the chain of events that would bring about the liberation of Jerusalem and the Jewish homeland promised in the Balfour Declaration. It all began on June 5.
“So the event that opened the Jubilee of 1917 was June 5. The event that opened the Jubilee of 1967 was June 5, exactly fifty years later. And the event that opened the Jubilee of 2017 was June 5, exactly fifty years later than the day that opened up the Six-Day War and exactly one hundred years later than the day that opened the Jubilee of 1917. All three Jubilees were set in motion on the same exact day.”
“In my vision the one who blew the shofar faced the next mountain.”
“Yes,” said the Oracle, “because all the Jubilees are bound together. The Israeli pilots who took to the air on that pivotal morning of June 5, 1967, did so exactly fifty years to the day after the British War Cabinet made its pivotal decision to appoint General Allenby to the command of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force. And the members of the United States Senate who convened on Capitol Hill on June 5, 2017, to pass the Jubilean resolution did so exactly fifty years to the day after the Israeli pilots took to the air and exactly one hundred years to the day after the British War Cabinet made its decision.
“Thus the Jubilees not only took place fifty years apart; they took place fifty years apart to the exact day!”
“Each figure in the vision stood on top of a mountain. Jerusalem is the mountain of God. So did each mountain represent Jerusalem . . . the Jerusalem of that Jubilee?”
“Yes,” he replied, “as each opening event would lead to Jerusalem. What began on June 5, 1917, would lead to Jerusalem’s liberation from the Ottoman Empire. What began on June 5, 1967, would lead to the return of Jerusalem to the Jewish people. And what began on June 5, 2017, would lead to ... ”
“Would lead to what?”
“Ah,” said the Oracle, “I almost went ahead of myself.”
“Would lead to what?”
“I believe you will have to see what it would lead to . . . ”
“And I would see it . . . in the next mystery.”
“Which would involve what?”
“The words of kings and rulers and how they usher in the purposes of God . . . just as they had in ancient times. They would again in the Jubilee of 2017, even through the most surprising of vessels.”
“And how was it shown to you?”
“Through the dragons’ lair.”
Chapter 47
THE JUBILEAN DECLARATION
I RETURNED TO the ruins of the ancient palace. The Oracle was sitting on one of its low walls. I joined him.”
“The vision of the dragons’ lair . . . what was I seeing?”
“Remember what I told you about the granting of legal recognition and authority.”
“That in the Jubilee it’s not just that you return to your land but that the return has legal authority. It has to be recognized.”
“Yes. By whom?”
“By the ruling authorities.”
“And in Israel’s return to Jerusalem in 1967?”
“It was the one thing that was never given.”
“And the world’s leading power and authority was America. And no president would defy the world to grant that recognition. But 2017 was the first Jubilee after the return of Jerusalem. And one of the manifestations of the Jubilee is the granting of recognition and legal authority to the owner’s return to the land.”
“But you said that Trump signed the waiver, so there was no recognition.”
“He signed it in June. The waiver lasted for six months. So where would that bring us?”
“To December. That would be at the very end of the Jubilean year.”
“And so if the mystery is to manifest,” said the Oracle, “it would have to manifest then.”
“And did it?”
“On December 6, 2017, the president entered the White House Diplomatic Reception Room with an announcement to give to the world:
I have determined that it is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. . . . Through all of these years, presidents representing the United States have declined to officially recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. In fact, we have declined to acknowledge any Israeli capital at all. But today, we finally acknowledge the obvious: that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital. 1
“The president’s declaration concerned the Jubilean nation, Israel; the Jubilean city, Jerusalem; and the return and restoration of the ancestral possession to
