December 8th was the date in which Jerusalem was taken by Allenby in 1917. It’s truly amazing to see how clearly God was involved in the events of 1917 and how the land was finally removed from Muslim Turkish control and given over to the British Mandate, before later becoming the Jewish state of Israel.

Are we are eagerly awaiting His return? Come, King Jesus! Maranatha!
