POSSIBLE FULFILLMENT OF A PROPHECY IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL WAS SEEN BY HEBREW SCHOLARS HERE TODAY IN THE APPOINTMENT OF SIR HAROLD ALFRED MACMICHAEL AS PALESTINE HIGH COMMISSIONER.

THE SCHOLARS POINTED TO THE OPENING SENTENCE IN CHAPTER XII, WHICH READS AS FOLLOWS: “AND AT THAT TIME WILL MICHAEL THE GREAT PRINCE WHO STANDETH FOR THE CHILDREN OF THY PEOPLE, STAND FORTH; AND THERE WILL BE A TIME OF DISTRESS, SUCH AS HATH NEVER BEEN SINCE THE EXISTENCE OF ANY NATION, UNTIL THAT SAME TIME; AND AT THAT TIME SHALL THY PEOPLE BE DELIVERED, EVERY ONE THAT SHALL BE FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK.”
