Re-reading at random (I was looking for something else) 19791123* re prophecy, penult. para., it is possible that those in Britain responsible for the decisions leading to the return of the Jews to their homeland [sic] did not appreciate the precise significance of the event. I do not know where except at the end of Daniel the event is tied to the 'last' or 'testing' times (and timed, although confusingly): 'when the power of the holy people ceases to be dispersed'**. I quote from memory from the New English Bible: but the Authorised Version says something quite different.***

*[[Redbook2:158-160][19791123:1850a]{Religious Prophecy [continued]}[23rd November 1979]]

**It (had?) happened before, of course: after the Edict of Cyrus. c.538BCE. <921020>

*** NJB: 'When the crushing of the Holy People's power is over.' – Dn.12.7. A.V.: 'When he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people....' (ibid) <921020>
