Hi John and Doves,
Mark Twain's book on his voyage to the Holy Land in 1867, was of paramount importance. Twain was used, by God, as a witness to the utter desolation of Israel - Jerusalem in particular. Just as scripture said that the land would be desolate until the Jewish people came back - Mark Twain testified to that solid fact. The United States of America was home to the majority of the world's Jewry and was also solidly based on Judea/Christian principles. America was a wonderful haven to both Jew and Christian. Which is why evil is attacking America so mercilessly now. And is being allowed to because American politics is the prime support for the "peace plan".
In the link, you will discover there was another witness to the desolation of the Holy Land, 600 years (1267) before Mark Twain's visit. His name was Rabbi Moses ben Nachman and he wrote extensively of the horrible desolation. When accessing the link, please scroll up the page to the beginning of the article. Almighty Father God always provides at least two witnesses.
Therefore - I believe it is of paramount importance to the timeline of the Gentiles, to recognise the 153 year gap between then and now. I am also still blown away by the link James Brownlow provided regarding the Pilgrims and the 400 year prophecy. All the puzzles pieces are slotting together.
