Judah Ben Samuel
(1140-1217)
1517-1917
In 1217, the Jewish rabbi
Judah Ben Samuel prophesied that the Ottoman Turks would rule over
the holy city of Jerusalem for 8 jubilees (8 * 50 years). In 1517,
300 years later, Turkey conquered Jerusalem and ruled over the city
for exactly 400 years until 1917 when they were defeated by the
Allied forces under the command of General George
Allenby.
1917-1967
During the ninth jubilee,
Jerusalem was to be a no-man's land. This was also the case because
the Holy Land was under British Mandate through the League of Nations
between 1917 and 1948 and did not belong to any nation. After the
1948-1949 war, Jordan occupied the eastern part of Jerusalem until
1967, when the city was liberated during the 6-Day War. Between 1949
and 1967, the inner city of Jerusalem was a zone that belonged to no
country and was called no man's land by both Jordan and
Israel.
1967-2017
During the tenth jubilee,
Jerusalem would be under Jewish control and then the Messianic end
times would begin.
