December 9, 1917 – Turks handed Jerusalem over to British troops

In 1917 AD, Muslim Turks surrendered control of Jerusalem to Christian Brits on December 9, which was Kislev 24 in the Hebrew calendar. In the Book of Haggai, it says the Second Temple in Jerusalem where Jesus would worship was founded on Kislev 24, 520 BC.

The Egyptian coin below shows the Roman year 1917 coincided with the Muslim year 1335. In an eschatological prophecy in the Book of Daniel, “the man clothed in linen” tells Daniel, “Blessed are they who have patience and persevere for the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.” (Daniel 12:12) In Bible prophecy, it is common for a “day” in the text to equal a year in actual time. This is based on Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6.

    Pope Francis ‏@Pontifex tweet for today: “God loves us. We must not be afraid to love him. The faith is professed with the lips and with the heart, through words and through love.”

    Barack Obama isn’t the only one who can see dead people. CBS has reported that John the Baptist was at the crucifixion.

    Un-freaking-believable. The New York Slime ACTUALLY printed that Easter is the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection into heaven. (Scroll to bottom for correction notice.)

      Imagine a baseball reporter unironically referring to a home run as a touchdown. That’s what full-time NYT Vatican reporter @EPovoledo did.

      Everybody knows [Easter is] when Jesus emerges, if he sees his shadow, we have 6 wks winter. like, duh. . .

      The level of dumb is dumbfounding, but Lord help us, not unbelievable.

      NYT motto: All the ignorant shit that fits we print.

      The NYT actually pays to run TV commercials touting “the world’s BEST journalism.” REPLY: Probably the only way to get anyone to say such a stupid thing is to pay them.

      They know as much about religion as they do about guns.
