We now come to examine the Balfour declaration, which promised much to both the Egyptian Arabs (termed the Palestinians) by the British and the Jews who had started to flock into the region from about 1890. The British believed that by promising both sides something it would be an appeasement to peace for them and not peace for anyone else.
This was a common ploy of the British Empire and had been practiced world-wide, giving a never fulfilled hope to many peoples and races of one day having their lands back. At that time the British considered themselves to be the embodiment of the New Roman Empire.
But the return of the Jews to the land of Israel was not accidental, it was God’s will. He had always promised them that one day he would restore them back into the land and this time they would not be removed. Isaiah 49:6, Acts 1:6.
Ask me and I will tell you!
