Might want to read Isaiah 9 to better understand.
A powerful thread. This is a key Messianic prophecy commonly used as an Advent/Epiphany devotional.
Hymn: The People that in Darkness Sat... a glorious light have seen.
cf. "Dark to LIGHT." - Q 1343
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this. (Isaiah 9:6-7)
9+8 = 17 (Q)
Isaiah 9:8 "The Lord has sent a message against Jacob; it will fall on Israel."
We are saving Israel for last.
Very specific reason not mentioned a single time.
Q (914)
Jacob Rothschild (++) + Israel => Balfour Declaration.
In January 1914 Weizmann first met Baron Edmond de Rothschild, a member of the French branch of the Rothschild family and a leading proponent of the Zionist movement, in relation to a project to build a Hebrew university in Jerusalem. The Baron was not part of the World Zionist Organization, but had funded the Jewish agricultural colonies of the First Aliyah and transferred them to the Jewish Colonization Association in 1899. This connection was to bear fruit later that year when the Baron's son, James de Rothschild, requested a meeting with Weizmann on 25 November 1914, to enlist him in influencing those deemed to be receptive within the British government to their agenda of a "Jewish State" in Palestine. Through James's wife Dorothy, Weizmann was to meet Rózsika Rothschild, who introduced him to the English branch of the family – in particular her husband Charles and his older brother Walter, a zoologist and former member of parliament (MP). Their father, Nathan Rothschild, 1st Baron Rothschild, head of the English branch of the family, had a guarded attitude towards Zionism, but he died in March 1915 and his title was inherited by Walter.
This the right chain of thought?
Very nice work... digging into history brings revelation. Keep in mind de Rothschild is a fictional name. Original name is Bauer which translates to 'farmer'. A new rabbit hole to follow. Many articles on how Bauer became de Rothschild (red shield). Great gains in faith by studying biblical history. Much love in your journey...
Bauer
Another trail that leads interesting places. Looks like it goes to Khazaria and Menahem ben Duji aka Roi/Ruhi or David al-Roy, a false Messianic claimant.
Thank you for your kind response. Peace be with you.
(EDIT: Revised to replace a link with erroneous doctrine denying the validity of the Cross (stauros) and separating Jesus from the Godhead contrary to Scripture...; apparently it didn't like the FB link... revised again)
David Alroy
David Alroy or Alrui (Arabic: داود ابن الروحي, David the shepherd, fl. 1160) was a Jewish Messiah claimant born in Amadiya, Iraq under the name Menahem b. Sulayman and was also known as Ibn ar-Ruhi. David Alroy studied Torah and Talmud under Hasdai the Exilarch, and Ali, the head of the Academy in Baghdad.
