dear Pastor Riley.
 
I have read your letter with interest, because I also mean that 31,12,2oo6 ended the 69th yearweek in Daniels prophecy. Funny also if you say 31+12 its 43 and 2oo6 is 26, together its 69. as I mention in my letter 31.12.o6 in Five Doves.
 
Theodor Herzl started a movement in 1897, and the Balfour declaration from 1917 also gave a background. But it was the UN who in 1947 gave Israel its rigth to establish its own homeland in palestine !
 
But in your letter 2oo7 you ask if some importen things happen in 1056 and in 1656 ? I have looked in my history- books, and found this, but it is seen out from a Europe. Here it is.
 
1 - 1o55 Seldsjukleader Toghril Beg, came to Baghdad. - Alcymism spred from the Arabian-Espania to the rest of Europe.
2 - 1o58 the Bujidiske Sultan of Bagdad lose his power, and must go to jail. The kalif al Kaim, give the power of new Sultan of Baghdad to Seldsjukleader Toghril Beg, and gives him the title of - the King of East and the King of West.
it reduce the power of the Kalif to only be a religious head of Islam.
 
1 - 1656 the english parliament want to make the diktator of UK, Oliver Cromwell a new king of Britain, but he say no because of "fear" for the reaction from the army.
In Europe the Habsburg-dynasti (as now) got a new great influence in Europe.
And it makes great problems in the catholic church, between the Jesuittes doctrines, and a new movement called Janseitterne, who follow Blaise Pascal, the theolog and matimaticians "lettres provincialles"
 
I realy hope it could help you in your studie, that we soon again will hear from you. in the love of Jesus, jan mikael ><>
