This was done by the hands of British and Allied forces.
            At  that  time,  Britton’s  foreign  secretary,  Lord  Arthur
            James  Balfour,  wrote  an  informal  letter  that  became
            known  as  the  Balfour  Declaration  (1917).  This  letter
            declared Brittan’s intent to establish a national home for

            the  Jewish  people  within  what  was  formerly  Palestine
            territory.  This  declaration  was  a  key  factor  in  deciding
            the  provisions  of  the  1923  Treaty  of  Lausanne.  This
            treaty  repartitioned  the  lands  along  former  territorial
            boundaries; Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and
            the  Holy  lands  of  Israel.    Turkey  remained  as  the  only
            Ottoman  remnant  with  its  capital,  Istanbul  (formerly
            Constantinople).  With  this  treaty,  GOD’s  plan  was

            accomplished.

            The  third  event  that  Jeremiah  foretold  has  yet  to  be
            fulfilled.  Jeremiah  12:16-17  relays  GOD’s  promise  and
            warning  to  Israel’s  neighbors  and  former  foes.    First,

            GOD promised, “If they will learn carefully the ways of
            MY  people,  to  swear  by  MY  name,  then  they  shall  be
            established  in  the  midst  of MY  people. However,  GOD
            also warned, “But if they do not obey, I will utterly pluck
            up and destroy that nation”.  Given the constant threats
            against modern Israel, GOD could act at any moment.

            Prophecies for Israel: fulfilled: 1925 - 1945
             [Is.  11:10-16,  35:10]  As  World  War  I  came  to  an  end,
            GOD set HIS plan for returning Jews a second time and
            for restoring Israel to its full glory (Is.35:1-2, Is.41:17-20).

            Much of the desolate lands of Israel remained unvalued
            properties of Turkish Lords.  Since the lands of Israel lay
            desolate,  Jews  from  all  parts  of  the  world  began  to
